Yes, this is an outstanding example of 'affirmative action'... Glad nobody got killed.

I would say the outcome wasnt as bad as it could have been, but I'm certainly not glad when this incapable excuse for a cop still has a badge after shooting a woman and seriously injuring her. Not everything has a silver lining and we dont need to pretend so.

The mother didn't deserve to be shot but she was a fucking idiot making the situation worse. She should have been charged as well.
That is girlcop's fault for not doing her job.

She caused a misfire with her thumb, which is the only reason the dude didn't get shot.
