To follow your thought I would have expected that she would have been brought to the ground and cuffed, in order to search a non compliant suspect. Which I think would be seen as even more aggressive than what happened, and she may have suffered worse injury. I deeply sympathise with a lady that was clearly the victim of vindictive neighbours. The trauma she has gone through is due to false claims of firearm crime. The officers have to act as though the claims could be true, as they have been in the past and will be in the future.

I can see both sides of this, the police were responding to a call that 'ten shots had been fired and someone had been shot'. They had to approach this situation as if there might be an active shooter. They have to respond to this in such a way as to take immediate control of the situation as lives could be at risk. The scary part of this is had anyone else come out of the house holding something innocent that the police might have mistaken for a weapon, they could have been shot. The police need more training on dealing with situations that involve dogs as well. Those saying the dogs were 'poorly trained' are wrong, these dogs were scared and stressed, scared and stressed dogs are dangerous, no matter how well trained they are. Also 8am is fine to make reasonable noise, most workmen start work at 8am. The person who made the 999 call needs to be traced and charged with wasting police time and endangering lives.

Again pathetic approach by our present day police. Obviously this woman was a SERIOUS danger. As a retired policewoman this appauls me.
