I can't understand a reasonable person accepting the police officer's decision to shoot her. The rhetorical question asked in the article is the relavant point: For Joe and Jane Citizen, who have been critical of the case, that logic doesn’t always compute, and jurors appeared to ask questions to the effect of: Was the use of a gun a necessary response to a kitchen knife, especially when the knife was being held by one relatively small woman who was surrounded by policemen? My only conclusion is that the officer wanted desperately to finally be able to get to use his gun and shoot somebody. I hope the Feds intercede and prosecute these psychos. I'm a 6'4" man and have absolutely no fear of a 100 lb woman threatening me with any kind of knife. The next time the Henderson police are confronted by a woman with a knife call me and I'll save a life.
