POLICE KILL WOMAN HOLDING A CORDLESS DRILL

CORDLESS DRILL

UZI ASSAULT WEAPON

I guess the cop was afraid of getting drilled.

 

San Jose police fatally shoot woman, 19, holding power drill

(Reuters) – A 19-year-old woman brandishing a power drill was shot dead by a police officer in San Jose on Thursday, police said.

Police received a report that morning that a woman was threatening to kill her family with an Uzi assault weapon, San Jose Police spokeswoman Heather Randol said in a news release.

When they arrived at the family’s home, they saw the woman outside, holding what they thought was a weapon, Randol said.

Officers asked her to drop it, but she did not, pointing it at them instead, Randol said. One of the officers, Wakana Okuma, shot the woman, who was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead.

Randol said Okuma, who has been placed on administrative leave, “feared for her safety and the safety of the public” when she shot the woman.

Officers later realized the woman had been holding a cordless drill that was painted black, Randol said.

The Santa Clara County coroner’s office declined to release the woman’s name or provide any details about her death or condition.

The shooting is being investigated by San Jose homicide detectives, Randol said.

Did you ever read about the cop who dreamed of killing a prole and then he shot one? Well except for the names and a few other changes, if you talk about Cali, the story’s the same one: Salinas, San Jose, LA, the victims here are Mexicans.

Good shoot. She could have done a lot of property damage with that thing. You see anyone with a drill or a router or a belt sander and you gotta take ’em down.

I’ve heard that cordless drills are gateway tools to guns.

Today she is busying herself with repairing the wobbly chair, tomorrow she is pumping lead into a target at a gun range.

Had to be done.

Even though most that know me in real life think I’m crazy, I’ll stand by my assertion that there are few situations hat cannot be made worse by adding a cop to them.

We are living in a minimum security prison, we just haven’t had the uniforms handed to us yet, so most of us still don’t realize it.

Whatever happened to the concept of “shoot to disable, and only after ALL other de-escalation options had been exhausted”?? Why the need to use (obviously) lethal force in so many cases where such force is not justified by any means?? I gather from the “Net that the penalty for killing a “policeman” in the US is life imprisonment without parole. Down Under, it’s a mandatory 25 years, no leeway, no exceptions.

Contrast this with the “penalties” for unjustified police killings: suspension on full pay then acquittal, or very minor, “slap on the wrist” penalties for killing. Almost never do we see any imprisonment (and if we do, it’ll be in a nice comfy low-security “prison -cum – holiday spa”).

So remind me, “who’s protecting who”?? “who is the Public Servant, and who pays their (very considerable) wages”??

Seems a case of “The Elite”, then “Their Private Armies”, then, well down the list of valued people, “us”.

Remember back when copfuk stories were first posted …. how PISSED OFF most of us got … long deep posts about FUCK COPS TO HELL!!! …. pictures of fatfuk cops … pictures of horses fucking cops in the ass ……. the HATRED was good ‘n deep and pure as the driven snow.

Now … we joke about it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I’m positive the RAGE is still there …. but, we’re becoming desensitized, one copfuk shooting at a time.

Stipulating a “good shoot”: You don’t shoot to disable. Totally wrong idea, outside of a Hollywood movie. You shoot to stop. When the threat of your death or grievous bodily harm ends, you then quit shooting.

Stucky why were the cops called to the house in the first place? When the cops rolled up what did the dispatcher tell them they were walking into? And finally what did they see when they walked up on the scene? This one is not even close.

“Imagine Billy and Sensetti as cops. I’d run. Run with me, if you want to live.” – Chen

Not taking the side of the AA hireling pretending to play at being a cop, but I’m willing to bet that there was something seriously “off” about the shoot-ee…. you just don’t go waiving around something that’s black and gun-shaped and then point it at some AA hire “cop” who wouldn’t know an “Uzi assault weapon” from a bucket of KFC… it’s just asking for trouble. Courting disaster.

By the way, Admin… that’s NOT an “Uzi”.

It’s a MTAR 21 Micro-Tavor made by Israel’s Weapons Industries. It’s a shorter, tacti-cool version of the standard MTAR 21 bullpup. An “Uzi” is a 9mm stamped steel piece of crap (yes, I have fired Uzi’s in my time. Jam-O-Matic pieces of crap. Maybe it was just mine, but it left a bad taste…) that was made by Israel Military Industries and FN in Belgium.

The MTAR 21 Micro Tavor is 5.56 x 45 but can be converted to fire 5.56 x 30 and 9mm with the proper kits and tools…

Technically, you should have said “Micro Tavor Assault Carbine”, since the picture you posted is of a select fire bullpup used by Israeli special forces. Drill Girl was reported to have an “assault weapon”, which in itself is a misnomer – since “assault weapon” is a scary sounding pejorative term made up by gun haters to give military pattern rifles a bad rep.

An “assault weapon”, which isn’t used by any military anywhere in the world, is a rifle or carbine that happens to resemble their genuine military counterparts, but are semi-auto only – and that technology has been around for over a century.

Which would make an “Uzi assault weapon” actually a 9mm semiautomatic pistol made of stamped sheet metal that takes a stick magazine – same as any other 9mm pistol, except calling it a “Uzi assault weapon” sounds more scary to the dumbshits who don’t know any better….

What all this means is that some mentally deranged woman went around waiving a black cordless drill. Some dumbshit reported her as carrying an “Uzi assault weapon” without knowing what any of that shit actually meant. The AA hireling, obviously not knowing what the fuck an “Uzi assault weapon” was either, was juiced up because “assault weapon” sounds scary and she was pig-ignorant.

Drill Girl pointed her black drill at the pig-ignorant AA hireling. Disaster obviously followed….

When you say “Uzi”… this is what most people think of.. if it’s not select fire, then it’s a pistol that just happens to look “scary”…

…should give citizens pause before calling the police…

That was the opinion of the Salinas neighbor who said, ‘the woman (who called the cops) is to blame’ for the death of the poor sap carrying hedge clippers. Others who’ve been killed threatened cops with: a rake, a hand shovel, so, no garden or hand tools, please. There was that incident where an older kid was riding his bike around in the street waving a fake gun with an orange cap at the end of the gun. He was mentally impaired, retarded, and the cops wasted him because a concerned neighbor looking out her window, called the cops.

Hey billy your a gun guy. If she actually had an UZI in her hand how much lead could she lay down in say 2 seconds? Given the information the cops had coming in how much time would you have spent studying the black object in her hand?

” San Jose Officer Wakana Okuma opened fire on the yet-unnamed woman from a distance of approximately 15 feet.”

Dumb cunt couldn’t tell the difference between a cordless drill and a pistol at 15 FEET IN BROAD FUCKING DAYLIGHT?!?!

Good God… this is what hiring incompetent Affirmative Action losers to fill a quota earns us…

I am sure the “Officer” certainly “feels bad” about this… and will be found totally innocent because

1) they’re ALWAYS found innocent, no matter what, so why should this be any different? And
2) Officer Ooga Booga is a protected class negro. She has a golden “Get Out Of Jail Free” card…

Fuck… just… fuck…

Sensetti,

An honest-to-God GENUINE select-fire Uzi?

An Uzi has a very, very distinct profile. I can tell in 2 seconds if someone has an Uzi or a cordless drill – even at 50 or 60 yards… maybe further, but I’ve never tried it. Especially in broad fucking daylight.

What I cannot tell, is if the weapon was a plastic Uzi airsoft gun, a semi-automatic pistol that looks like the genuine article or the actual, genuine select-fire machine-pistol…

Certainly I would have acted with caution, but dude… come ON! A drill is a drill and even painted black, it still looks like a drill. An Uzi looks like a hunk of 2×4 with a handle, painted black. More blocky, with that snub barrel poking out. Drills don’t look anything like that…

I would have stopped at least 100 yards off and assessed the situation. Don’t cops carry binoculars? Even a pair of those shitty folding ones sold in Wally World would serve… even then, a serious chunk of hardware like an Uzi is hard to come by. What would a 19 year old woman be doing with a hunk of hardware like that? What are the odds? Look at the pictures, bro… a picture of the drill in question, then look at the genuine article that I posted… they look ANYTHING like each other?

Bottom line is both are at fault, but the greater fault lies with the AA hireling… for handling this completely wrong and being pig-ignorant… hired to fill a quota, probably has zero clue as to what an “Uzi assault weapon” was, likely incompetent…

If you can’t tell the difference between a drill and an Uzi from 15 feet, in broad fucking daylight, then you’re either blind or incompetent…

Afterthought: We constantly hear about how cops are facing “more and more dangerous weapons on the street”… like Uzi’s and shit. Well, that would mean that Officer Ooga Booga would need to make it her business to be able to identify that which they would most likely be seeing on the street, yes?

One was crazy. The other incompetent.

Just a bad day all around…

Pretty much, yeah. But your synopsis does not assign fault.

I would have said “Crazy person gets capped by incompetent cop in questionable shooting.”

Some fault lies with Crazy Drill Girl. Most of the fault lies with Officer AA Quota Hire for being a clueless, incompetent token…

Virginia deputy mistakenly shoots teen daughter he thought was home intruder
Published August 15, 2014
FoxNews.com

A sheriff’s deputy in Virginia mistakenly shot his 16-year-old daughter early Tuesday morning after she snuck out and set off the home’s alarm when she entered the garage, The Washington Post reported.

Easton McDonald, a sergeant who worked at the Loudoun County Sheriff’s office for 13 years, reportedly thought someone broke into his garage while his family was asleep. Authorities said by the time McDonald reached the basement, the dark figure walked towards him.

“At that particular point, he discharges his firearm and strikes the person in the torso area,” Capt. Donnie Lang, from the Frederick sheriff’s office, told the paper. He heard her voice and recognized it was his daughter.

The victim was identified as his teen daughter, who reportedly snuck out. He called 911, and rushed the girl to a nearby hospital, but crashed into a barricade. Paramedics had to retrieve the girl from the car. McDonald and his daughter were not injured in the crash.

McDonald has been placed on administrative leave while authorities investigate. The teen is reportedly listed in stable condition.

NEVER call the police . . . unless you’re looking to have someone murdered.

And unless you absolutely, positively cannot get to the E.R. on your own, don’t call the paramedics.

Just say no.

What ever happened to confirming your target before shooting

Not too long ago, a cop shot and killed his own son in a similar incident.

My buddy, Dallas said his son tried to sneak into the house late one evening. In the dark, all the kid heard was a gun being cocked. After that, the kid always called home to say he was on his way.
