Completely unjustified shooting. The cop did basically everything wrong and continuously escalated the situation, but at this point I haven’t seen anyone have being the one to escalate the situation be held against them in any meaningful way so may not matter
I saw some obvious right wingers say she picked up the pot and throw the water at them just before the shots. So after doing extensive review, the bodycam from the officer who shot actually does show that after ducking, she pops back up really quickly and grabs the pot again
But I don’t think she threw the water. She’d already emptied most of the water at that point, so I think she grabbed the pot and put it above her head defensively since the officer was advancing on her with a gun drawn and already said he’d shoot her in the face. There was still a small amount of water in the pot, which is what lands near his feet and on the chair, but nowhere near enough to be a threat worth blasting her 3x in the face
There’s really no justifying the shooting from any angle , but as usual, black folks arent looked at as humans in these situations so we’re expected to behave like unfeeling robots with guns drawn and being threatened or else we deserve what we get apparently
