charge the cop with murder and hang him from the nearest tree!!!!

He should have stopped, let the woman stab him, then softly whisked her away on hummingbird wings and silk gloves........:666:

Lunge at a cop with a knife and I can guarantee you that you will be shot every time.

Now the average person is going to pipe in on how they should be able to disarm a 50 yr old woman without incident but I'm afraid that Even Steven Segal would have a hard time with that one.

No even the Louisiana lawman himself would have drawn his gun and shot for the centre of mass and put her down.

If she chose to yield her weapon she'd be alive, but she was asking for trouble from the boys wielding a shield. :???:

It is sad story especially if mental illness was involved but we were not there to properly judge if the shooting was justified or not. I'd hate to be a Police Officer today.
