    I mean they found an imitation gun and she was waving around a knife and they first tried to tase her.

    You could probably put that in the title or people will just think you’re out to mislead

      It was a welfare check on someone with a threat of self harm; I would expect a weapon. I also wouldn’t expect a particularly civil conversation with a rational person in that situation. Shit isn’t exactly going swimmingly for suicidal people. So yeah, I see nothing misleading here. The cops killed someone. Full stop.
