    Nope, she still had the pot in her hands up until the point he shoots her. You can even see steam coming off the ground after she gets shot.

    I don’t think either of their lives are more or less important than the others, but I do think the officer has the full responsibility for how that situation plays out.

    I just hate the dishonesty about the situation, it makes your criticism look weaker. You can 100% criticize the cop without lying about the facts.

      To clarify, what were the previous posters being dishonest about? The threat of the boiling water? If it’s that, I would conjecture that the cop mishandling the situation was what made the threat even a little credible.

      If not that, can you give me more detail on what the others were being dishonest about?
