The situation was a cluster**** to begin with. Both sides committed wrong actions. These are two events that could've happened that would've resulted in no deaths:
-She should've complied
-cops should've approached the situation in a negotiative manner
However sometimes you gotta play devil's advocate for both sides in situations like these.
The lady should've complied from the beginning. Patience is a virtue, and it's definitely the number one way of getting things right. If she only complied, things would have went smoothly. If she believed the cops were at fault, there's better ways then to get your message across than saying "you'd have to kill me" for cases such as not having a plates on your car, or even use your own child as a shield. Now this is where she lost credibility. She used her own child as a shield. She knew that if she had a child on one hand, and a gun on the other, she would have the advantage over the cops. You should never put another person, especially your own child, in a situation like that. It's almost hostage-like. I don't want to put race into this, but it already has because people are making this a race situation. I know we lost another black life, however you can't defend her actions if she was the reason why cops are after her, and she put her own child at risk. It's not like the child jumped to take a bullet, no the mother decided to use him for her own quarrel.
Now the cops. It's been brought up that most cases involving a white shooter or criminal has been approached in more stragegical ways, resulting in longer shootouts as opposed to blacks. Noticed how I said blacks, not shooters but just blacks, because there has been recent cases where blacks were shot INSTANTLY for reasons that are injustice. This is where cops lose their credibility. If the lady used her child as a way to not have the cops shoot at her, then the cops must follow suit because their is a life at stake which is only the child; the lady already painted herself as a target for having a gun in one hand and her child on the other. It's technically a hostage situation. Cops should've approached this as a hostage situation which should've ended in a longer stand off and possibly no deaths.
I was reading through the posts and guys unfortunately what's been done is done. This is solely news for the world to see and a situation we can all learn from. And honestly no side should be defended. I know we have the #blacklivesmatter and # bluelivesmatter, but in this case it's not worth defending actions when both parties approached the situations wrongly. We can only use situation to learn and approach things better, which is what I hope for in PDs across the state. People are gonna be people and they're gonna act based on how they were brought up. However the police has to act accordingly because it is an occupation, it is a lifestyle they have chosen so they should act accordingly to situations that are alike. So if it takes days for white shooters to be apprehended, then the same should be for blacks.
