Why they shot with deadly rounds an unarmed person instead of tasing her or shot something not lethal to stun her?

I know it may sound crazy but cops in my country can handle situations like these without shooting or tazing or stunning anybody at all.

They used to in the US but now it’s a free for all. Want to get some “legal kills”? Be a cop and start blastin..it’ll all work out fine.

There is nothing not lethal to shoot, only less lethal.

well why not have some less lethal shit to start?

American cops are trigger happy, especially with a non-white target. And they know all they have to say is “I feared for my life” to get away with it.
