Jeanetta Riley, 35, was gunned down using an AR-15 assault rifle and .40-caliber Glock pistol by Idah police officers outside Bronner General Hospital in Sandpoint, Idaho, on July 8, 2014. The autopsy report revealed that Riley was shot in the chest and hit in the liver as well as her shoulder, back and heart.
Her husband Shane took Riley, pregnant with her fourth child, to the hospital after she threatened to kill herself. When they arrived at the hospital, Riley pulled out a knife forcing her husband to ask the hospital staff to call the police. Within 15 seconds after the cops arrived, she was dead.
Two body cameras and a third attached to a police dashboard leave no ambiguity over what happened that fateful day when a homeless young woman, addicted to methamphetamine and alcohol, paid the price of saying NO to cops.

Jeez......
ANOTHER dead citizen.
Can the police do ANYTHING but show up and start killing people?
A pregnant woman (very fast and nimble) with a knife could not be subdued by 2 grown men? They had to use a RIFLE to subdue her?
Really?
I could have taken that knife from her WITHOUT turning her into hamburger. So could quite a few MEN I know.
You know why I capitalized "men", don't you?
What was it? A butter knife?
When you take classes that instruct you on the many times during an "interaction" that a cop CAN shoot you, well, guess what the outcome of "interactions" becomes?
This is NOT Afghanistan. STOP killing people because you are afraid of EVERYTHING!
Man up. At least once in a while.
ImClain to date this will be 401 people killed by police this year "as per the last time I saw the report", and it has only been 4 months into 2015...
Imclain, the problem here is not just cops showing up and shooting people...
The problem is their roid Rage, and their authority complex... They think or are told or are trained to believe that ANY, ANY ORDER THEY GIVE YOU IS LAWFUL and the fact that if they say "DROP the knife" or "DROP the gun" or "DROP anything I fucking tell you" they will say you are not listening or resisting or hindering, oh and that they were scared pussies or the like and they will shoot you... Plain and simple...
NOW you have cops thinking or being told or trained that it is OK to shoot someone in the back, when they are no threat all because he may be trying to flee a criminal situation... Then the media and cops get on the air and say look we murdered someone in cold blood and it is ok because he had a prior over 30 years ago...
When are you people going to stand up...
