A 23 year old Baltimore lady was shot by police when they came to her home to serve a warrant. She was pointing a shotgun at the police and using her child as a shield. I know sometimes deadly force is necessary but this whole situation could have been prevented.
They had pulled her over earlier that same day for a traffic violation. You could tell by watching the video that this young lady was mentally unstable. She was irrational and delusional. The officer was trying his best to diffuse the situation, probably due to the fact that she had her child in the car and he did not want to scare the child. Since she was refusing to present ID, they should have arrested her and then recommended to the judge that she be placed some type of psychiatric care. So the shootout could have been prevented if they had arrested her in the original altercation.
