armed with a handgun. After officers ordered Shriner to drop the firearm, she refused numerous times, and pointed the handgun toward the officers
Yeah, especially LAPD. They can't even be trusted with footage.
I think that it was dark and she didn’t know they were cops.
Maybe she just saw men roaming around the yard in the dark and acted accordingly.
Most likely this plus they were shining flashlights in her eyes so she couldn't see anything. Cops have murdered numerous people with this tactic.
I'll believe it when I see the video.
Say it ain't so!
Or maybe ...dope nose.
If she wasn’t involved in the hit & run, I can’t understand why she’d point the gun at them. Definitely need to see that body cam footage.
Or maybe cops shouldn’t be stalking around in someone’s yard.
Even if this is all true, is it normal to be charged with attempted murder just for pointing a gun at someone? Isn’t that usually called brandishing?
It is normally brandishing unless she fired the weapon. The artical says there was a gunfight but only mentions police shooting. This artical is written like an 8th grader wrote it on their way to school.
If you point the gun away, maybe. Don't point the gun at someone if you're not prepared to shoot
I know that’s an important safety rule but I’m asking specifically about the law.
Shot in officer involved shooting?
Shot by a police officer.
