Off duty cops shoot armed naked woman in FL.

18 year old student, whacked out of her mind on LSD. If it was a gun she was holding, the officers did what they had to do. If it was anything but a firearm, they should've subdued her. I mean, it's an 18 year old gal we're talking about here, not a 27 year old MMA fighter.
 
Do you know how dangerous naked 18 year old girls are ???
They have a magical ability to mesmerize men (and some women too), making their brains freeze up, and robbing them of their powers of rational thought.
The cop must have been gay. [rolleyes]
 
Wonder if the off duty cops had been drinking? Would that throw a wrench into the cake batter?

They probably were not tested... professional courtesy.

But seriously.. It is one thing if they see a gun.. It is another if they see the glint of a beer can.

she was walking around naked, carrying a cross, walked into a house,left the cross, took an antique firearm, went for a walk encountering cops....

"David Simpson, who described himself as Swanson's boyfriend, said she was very religious and that she thought "the end times were near." He said she had attended Bible study earlier in the week.

Simpson said deputies found the cross that Collins and Eylward said Swanson had been carrying inside his home after the shooting. Simpson said the investigators told him she had left the cross in his home and taken his antique gun.

The gun is what Simpson said the off-duty officers saw her wielding when they opened fire. Simpson said the gun is very old, that it holds one bullet and that it doesn't fire. "

Men encountered Swanson before shooting

Now two men who said they saw Swanson shortly before the deadly confrontation are coming forward, and they said they have photographs to prove it.

Exclusive cell phone pictures shows Swanson walking in a wooded area in Spring Hill. Al Eylward and Robert Collins said they ran into her shortly before she was shot Saturday.

"She was literally walking down the road straight at us," Collins said. "So, we pulled up alongside of her, and at that point I looked out the window and I asked her, I said, 'Are you alright?' And she said, 'Yeah, but I'm a little bit confused.'"

Collins said the woman then walked away into the wooded area, and they snapped the photos of her. They said they took the photos, thinking that no one would believe them without photographic evidence that they had seen the woman.

A short time later, while the men were looking at a home, they said Swanson walked inside with a cross in her hands.

"She held the cross up and made a circle like this and said, 'Antichrist, Antichrist, this meeting is over,'" Eylward said. "And as she did that she stopped, turned around and walked back."

Collins said they never felt like they were in danger from her.

"At no time did any of us ever feel threatened and the only thing we ever saw in her hand was the cross," he said.

Collins and Eylward said that about 15 minutes later, Swanson was shot and killed. They said they feel awful for everyone involved.

That makes the same sense as saying 'they should have shot it out of her hand'. So if she had a baseball bat, they should have risked getting brained instead?

Off duty, I don't know what I would have done differently. It appears she had a 'firearm', sucks she made a bunch of bad decisions leading to this. A melee weapon, I would have just observed, but the firearm might have forced me to act depending on the situation. I say that sitting pretty far away from the situation.
