Oh fucking please. Would you ever post images of women with their feet up? With their bags spread across three seats? Of course not - doesn’t fit the narrative. Douchebaggery is not gendered.

I have never seen that happen. Ever. At all.

It’s taken you literal months to reply with this.

Surprisingly, I don't spend all of my time on Tumblr. It's taken literal months because it's been literal months since I logged in.

Exactly! Like people with guns haven’t been safely disarmed before??? I don’t get why she had to die tbh.. #KorrynGaines

Tell me your game plan for nonlethally disarming someone all the way across a room without losing any of your own people and we’ll start from there.

She was a mother in her own home with a child, if a cop feels the need to handle that situation with lethal force that is on the police officer. A taser is an alternative, talking down is an alternative. Not escalating the situation by taking out your gun in the first place is an alternative.

Great in theory, not so much in practice. It didn't start out with a SWAT team.

No. 1. Not everyone has access to mental health professionals. Therapy is expensive. 2. People know themselves better than anyone else will. 3. Self-diagnosing could potentially lead to a person working to improve their mental health. 4. There’s enough information available on the Internet (through the right sources) to make accurate diagnoses regarding pathological symptoms. 5. What someone else labels themselves isn’t anyone else business. 6. If a person finds a having a diagnosis helpful to themselves, it’s not wrong of them to self-diagnose.

Hi! Actually multiple-diagnosis Mentally Ill Person here. Just dropping by to inform you that Mental Illness is not an identity. It’s a medical diagnosis.

LOL, Have you met anyone with BPD? Mental illness can certainly be a part of someone identify if they perceive it that way. No need to “Inform me”

I can do ya one better - I *have* BPD.

There are two ways to peacefully disarm someone: talk them down or restrain them. It’s kind of impossible to do the latter when you’re all the way across a room from them.

They needed the SWAT team because at some point during the six hours of the standoff they realized she had said gun ready to go and was in fact loading it in plain sight of the door. That’s intent enough for any jury anywhere ever.

She was loading it over her lap. I guess the back camera picked this up from one video I’ve seen. Loading one only takes one hand.

ok that post about Korryn Gaines and her son who got shot by the police is gong around…but no one mentions that she had a shotgun and had been given hours to surrender?  and the reason the kid got hurt was bc she had him in her lap while threatening to kill the officers? im not saying that she is at fault. she felt threatened in her own home. but what im saying is that the post is going around without this information, which makes it seem a lot more like the cops fired at her and and her child on the spot for no reason.

Six hours is not ‘on the spot’ in any case.

Yeah, when police execute a warrant and find you armed and holed up with what amounts to a hostage, they escalate to the people trained to deal with that.

One more thing - when, in your estimation, is there a need to use lethal force? Like, if someone is pointing a gun at you and you still have no right, in your opinion, to defend yourself, I’m not sure where you draw the line.

So you’re going to shoot a woman for traffic violations ? Bitch people don’t even pay there speeding tickets on time. Don’t even fucking tell me “because she had a gun”. Like tf would she even, no better yet HOW TF would she even pull the trigger holding her 5 year old son. On top of that you’re gonna fucking shoot the 5 year old boy cause casualties. Man fuck the mother fucking American justice system. I’m so pissed off right the fuck now. Like there’s real ass criminals out here being given minimal sentences and being treated very nice for some serious crimes while you police officers in the states are shooting every kind of pocs in sight weather being Mexican, Indian, African - American , Asian etc. Im just so done like what the actual fuck is wrong with American police officers? Like how can you justify any of these murders that have occured over some petty light issue. Oh my god I actually can’t deal right now.

I’m sorry if you don’t want to watch the video of her loading said shotgun in view of the swat officer at the door, but don’t argue on facts if you’re going to ignore them.

Yeah, because they surrendered. Look up the Memphis Shootings in 2010 for a similar situation, even down to the ideology at hand, where white folks in a standoff with police were killed.

This is somewhat inaccurate. There are definite cases of white people receiving differential treatment, but all you have to do is look back to 2010 with a similar case of armed Sovereign Citizen nuts (who were white) being killed by police under similar circumstances (armed and threatening police - they had, admittedly, already killed 2 at the time).
