I don't know what you saw, but I think she might have taken the shot. For her to get hit that many times and the boyfriend to not get a scratch seems plausible that she took the shot. I don't know if it is true but I heard she had gunpowder residue on her like you would if you were shooting. The boyfriend might have picked up the gun after she was hit and dropped it when he realized it was the police.
Not trying to single you out but this goes to my first post in this thread - unless someone was actually at the scene and witnessed the entire thing from beginning to end (i.e., no one) or was a member of the grand jury that facts were presented to (only 12 people I believe) then everyone else is going on "what they have heard, what they saw on TV, or whatever best fits the side" of the discussion they wish to be on.
When are people going to learn that first and foremost the "news media" is only going to be able to report a portion of the story, a very small portion. The reason being is that in order to try and insure that a defendant receives a fair trial (if it comes to that stage), the overwhelming majority of what actually happened is not privy to the media.
In days gone by, the headline for this situation would have been along the lines of "
woman killed in raid, when more details are known you'll hear them here on WKWK TV channel 123". Now it's "
black woman killed by white police, another case of racism ?"
The difference in the two headlines ? The first was factual - stated what happened and offered more information when it becomes available. The second headline (the one in today's reporting) - the first part while factual also includes content of irrelevance (skin color of parties) and flat out speculation of which there is absolutely no way of knowing if it was true or a flat out lie. Unfortunately, most people given the option of clicking the box for each headline will pick #2 all day, everyday. It's the one that will have more people talking.
In headline #2, the racism portion is followed by a question mark giving the media outlet an "out" as not to be held liable. Again showing that the media is more to blame than any single entity out there.
