you probably shouldn't pull knives on cops as a general rule

Knives elevate police to a deadly force response (even an 80-pound person can kill with a knife, even without training), so yeah, not a good idea to pull one. The article mentions that one of the officers did not have a taser, but even so the officers would be technically justified by their response. The peeps in the video don't seem to realize that...

Body cam would be nice, though. Given how bureaucratically-minded some police can be about the continuum of force, they might have gotten tunnel vision. Like, was it a butter knife? Did she have crack eyes? The people must know!! #NoLiveLeakVideoNoPeace

A knife is just the 2017 version of "let's sprinkle some crack and get out of here."

Seriously though, if the cops were facing a knife attack then IBTY is retarded for thinking they did something wrong. BLM SocJus apparently rots the brain.

there's a transcript & audio-only recording here:

http://www...ena-lyles-i-dont-have-a-taser/

i don't hear the 'get ready, motherfuckers' (but obviously she's not mic'd)... and the 'i don't have a taser' is said with no raised concern & as though poorly spliced in :p (not to sow doubt or anything...)

there are concerned 'get backs!' though

Her family isn't disputing her actions which tells me when they say mental health issues they mean truly batshit crazy. Sad she died, but better her than a cop.

"i don't hear the 'get ready, motherfuckers' (but obviously she's not mic'd)... "

She said it...between 7:08 and 7:11. listen real close. She accented the "motherfucker." along but subtly said "get ready.."

"truly batshit crazy"

The officers in the video seemed to be discussing how she had once claimed that her daughters would turn into wolves ( http://youtu.be/-DCYfBzp6jc?t=58s ), so that's nice. ;D

..
[Seattle Times Article]: "Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole said Monday that neither officer was armed with a Taser. SPD officers are given the option of carrying a Taser, pepper spray or a baton as a less-than-lethal option."

"Option"? That's weird... I wonder if that option was some kind of morale booster, like decreasing the weight of the duty belt or something. Or maybe they thought that with fewer options Seattle police would use those options more effectively? Can't say I agree!

@audio

Wow.. sounds like they were in her house calmly going over which items had been stolen, and then she just flips? With all the audio gaps at that part it's a little difficult to follow or trust, though.
