    Look, even if she actually threatened them with boiling water (she didn’t, but let’s pretend she did).

    She wasn’t a suspect. They could have just left her apartment. Between fight and flight, they could have easily chosen flight.

    But because cops always feel the need to flex their authority, this woman is dead.

    ACAB.

      If he was afraid of her splashing him with boiling water, why advance on her? He should be moving back to avoid being close enough to be threatened. Even giving him the maximum benefit of the doubt his actions created the situation. It’s like if a cop steps out in front of your vehicle in traffic and then shoots you because you were about to run him over. Even if you believe she was threatening him, he still murdered her because he caused it to happen.
