A ROUTINE CALL TURNED DEADLY… LAPD responded to a robbery in progress at a 7-Eleven in Los Angeles A 53-year-old woman allegedly refused to comply and pointed what officers believed was a firearm In seconds… shots were fired It was later confirmed the weapon was a pellet gun She... died at the scene Moments like this move fast - and there’s no rewind Was this justified, or could it have been handled differently? What’s your take? ⬇️ 🇺🇸show more

Doesn't matter, point anything that looks like it could be a real gun at police, and you're getting free hole punches.

Completely justified are they supposed to wait to find out it’s a pellet gun?

@JakeCan72 Justified.

If someone points a perceived weapon at me, I’m shooting first-

Threaten a police officer. You die. End of story.

Absolutely justified. No other way to handle it.

@WyattCatarina

Was the dog hurt?

Are they supposed to get shot to determine whether it's a pellet gun or a real one first?

Well honestly i no longer care if this one or any other are justified or overdone by the cops when someone is pointing weapon or using vehicle as one, it will be justified every-time...after the shooting in this one, all i cared about was if the dog got shot too....i hope not.

@CRRJA5 You don’t pull a gun, even a toy gun on a cop

Police want to go home, so if you scare them enough and make them fear for their life, you become the SOLUTION of a mathematical equation

Justified. You point anything that looks like a gun at a cop, you have it coming.

@gman5180 She pointed a gun at the cops. What did she expect ?

Good shoot.

@TruthJasonLee FAFO. Why do these people keep doing this? Do they honestly believe that if they aggressively resist that the police will just say “OK, sorry we bothered you”.

Dog is ok

100% justified.

A traffic stop is routine. There is nothing routine about an armed robbery in progress. That might be routine on TV, but in real life, this is a call that cops might answer a handful of time per year.

What the hell? You point something that looks like a gun at a cop you're going to get shot. Who would dispute this? Besides Joe Biden who said they needed to aim for the knees.

@AprilSpark1890 I have no sympathy for her. It really is not hard to not get shot by cops.

@CRRJA5 Justified. She refused to comply and brandish a weapon. Weapon does not matter. She was there to act as a criminal to begin with. I call that 2 strikes.

Excuse me, ma’am, before I shoot you for pointing a weapon at me during a robbery in progress call, can you confirm if you’re pointing a real weapon at me, or is it a pellet gun? I only have a split second to make my decision. Thank you for your cooperation.

100% justified. She knew exactly what she was doing. I hope the dog is ok.

Been in law enforcement most of my adult life. I guess it doesn't matter much if the "first" shots were accurately delivered, that the shooting seems to be slightly excessive. If the perp is going to die anyway, the extra lead doesn't hurt, but I always think 20 shots a bit much.

I have no sympathy for the nut job that pointed a weapon at officers. I do hope the dog was not killed.

How would the police know if the gun was real or not? They eliminated the problem.

I hope the dog was unharmed and police found a good home for it.

@end3of6days9 Please tell me the dog is ok 😳

@ShannanD7 Justified IMO. You never point anything at police officers FFS!

@BredsguardDalen FAFO. Don’t point a gun at a cop and live another day! Thugs just thuggin!
