Audio kicks in at 28 seconds. and with a "Peace Symbol" on the back of her vehicle.
This incident from Greene County in my beloved home state of Missouri . . .
Posted on November 22, 2011 by Tim McNabb
“Tammy Robinette made several huge errors in judgment while driving in Greene County on the night of October 4,” riverfronttimes.com reports. “Drinking and driving was a big one. That caused a sheriff’s deputy to pull her over. But then the 46-year-old plucked a pink-handled pistol from her bag, aimed at the deputy and pulled the trigger twice. The gun only clicked. It didn’t fire. The deputy’s gun, however, was in working order.” For all of you “cops are not special” types out there . . .
This is the kind of shit that cops potentially face EVERY TIME they pull over a car. Until she was pulled over, this foolish drunk (but then, I repeat myself) was already driving a loaded weapon capable of wiping out any number of innocent people. A close friend of mine lost his entire family to a drunk driver – wife, kids – gone in a blink. What cops do is very important. They deserve a certain amount of deference, even if they are assholes.

Pink or not,......VERY BAD IDEA, and will get you a Darwin award......

About the only thing I saw wrong was the officer muzzle-swept the State Police officer's lower area at about the 2:46 mark.
Yes, I've been in a nit-picky mood all day.
Other than that, carry on.
She reportedly pointed a gun....he responds in kind and goes home alive.
As it should be.

good riddens to her and her ilk. Glad the Deputy got home

I noticed the sweep also. Might be nit-picky, but gave me a shudder to see it.

Ordinarily, I wouldn't have even brought it up......because I know some LEO agencies actually do some training that involves officers being beyond the 180 degree line. But in this adrenalin-charged situation, one wrong move and the outcome could have been different.
Again, the main point is the officer went home safely.

Does Chris Rock need to make another video - how to not get your ass shot by the police?

Step one: Obey the Law.
Step two: Use common sense.
Step three: Never ride with a mad woman.
I think he's already covered it. ;)

As a recap...

It's a shame many have not watched that invaluable PSA.... ::)
Truly a classic and, wise advice.... ;D

I think one round hit the stereo. "Dancing Queen" by Abba was replaced with the sound of gunfire. 4 out of 5 in the black, at night, combat conditions. Good shooting!

I would call it 5 /5, if dancing queen was playing I would shoot the radio first too.

Not so much a muzzle sweep as the trooper walked in front of him. Notice where his bang switch manipulator was?
And what's wrong with Abba?
;D

If you need to ask, you wouldn't understand. ;)

I'll take Abba over "Snoop Dog", "Puff Dick", and the rest of these rap "artists" that sound like a V-8 with stuck tappets.
