Cops Fear For Their Lives As Distraught Woman Holds Crochet Hook
So they shot her to death
"SALINAS, Calif. — A disoriented woman holed up in a minivan and repeatedly stabbing herself in the neck was shot to death by local police officers who thought the distraught woman was lunging at them with a knife or pick ax.
But the 45-year-old Maria Irma De La Torre had only a metal crochet hook in her hand, the Salinas Californian reported Monday. (...)
"It's a wrongful death," Diana Hernandez, De La Torre's niece, told the Californian. She added that De La Torre suffered from epileptic seizures but had no history of violence or hurting herself during seizures. She was taking medication to control the seizures, Hernandez said."

Almost as bad as the Silverton, Ore. police officer shooting the Irish immigrant to death. That officer has more trouble on the way too, and not with just the shooting either.
Yes anon, I heard that goon is in jail on sex charges.
The police have turned into just other gangs, only sanctioned by law.
