Ummm, it IS A public school. Borscht is on the menu at lunch if you're interested.
As far as this incident, this is why a 120# female, or most 120# males, (Manny Paceau (sp) or MMA typed ripped guys are exception. . . but are going to be rare in the wild) should not be police ossifers. She has no choice BUT to deploy a weapon to keep herself safe while by herself. That's just a recipe for disaster. a 6'0", 180# man would have his hand ON his gun casually and that's about it.
Although I had a cop friend that passed on a few years ago after 30 or so years of copping. He said today's ossifers are too quick to hte gun. He could count on 2 hands the times he had to pull his sidearm. Of course, he was 6'5" 250 as well. So that helped. But he was old-school and old-school doesn't just pull a gun for every situation. "B&E? Pull your sidearm. Domestic? Pull your sidearm. Cat stuck in a tree? Pull your sidearm. Old lady needing help crossing the street? Pull your sidearm." He said he had to tell more than one rookie officer to put their gun away.
All THAT said, given that they gave the job to a 120# female, her going low-ready during investigation is reasonable. Pointing the gun?? Not reasonable.
