Sad it happen, as she was likely have a Mental Emotional episode. Having small kids in the middle of the road with traffic could only have resulted in massive trauma, if not death to the kids and herself.

With all that said....
Knives kill whether in front kids or not.

I have to ask "No taser?" available between Deputy Caleb Toderean and Deputy Matthew Harrison ?

Either way Ariella Crawford with a large knife in the middle of the road attacking LEO is justification enough.

#2 Had a guess. Looked at video. Bingo.

#3 I suspect drug free, clear thinking and common sense played no role.

#6 Don't want to be shot in front of your kids, don't attack police in front of your kids.

#8 Both of these cops need to be suspended without pay. The officer with the Taser waited way too long to use it. It was obvious that she was disturbed and both of these Bozo's allowed the situation to get out of hand. She was clearly working herself up for an attack.

If she had been tased sooner there might not have been as much adrenaline and the taser might have been effective.

#9 The perps still will sue the LEOs for taser deployment EU5192 ("She turned me into a Newt!"), and the officers are taught to restrain themselves before using them.

We weren't in that room and videos don't always convey the minor body language or situational tensions in such encounters.

#10 Saved the lives of the kids. Dragging them out into traffic to get run over by her shows she had plans to die and take them out with her somehow that very day.

I don't know what video you watched, but the one I saw clearly showed her to be agitated and working herself up.

Saved the lives of the kids. Dragging them out into traffic to get run over...

She was walking on the side of the road, there was no sidewalk that I could see. It was a neighborhood side street and traffic was almost non existent. You have no way of knowing whether she intended to hurt those kids. It certainly did not seem that way to me. Who knows what sort of emotional trauma she was trying to deal with by going for a walk. These cops screwed the pooch as far as I am concerned.

#12 Elmenter Ulerenter5192, no. She screwed the pooch by going after one of the cops with a knife.

Then your issue is with the BLM training, not the cops.

#14 It's also surprising they didn't try baton strikes on her weapon arm. She was a housewife, not a gang member who's lived in a gym for a few years while in prison.

#15 Clearly California street schooling is working.

#16 A nearby resident had called 911 on Feb. 4 to report a woman walking in the middle of the road amid "significant traffic," sheriff’s officials said.
