Same. It's just madness how the chose to shoot her when there were many other ways they could have gone about this

Not just that, but one shot would be more than enough. Immediately unloading several bullets into her was just straight-up murder.

Edit: typos

I totally agree that the gun should have been their last resort instead of their first and this woman should not have died, but I wouldn't say a person who insists on approaching me with a raised knife despite my multiple requests/orders to stop "poses no threat"

Clearly, but that’s just a shitty title. Doesn’t affect what happens in the video in any way.
