We're the Only Ones ER Fans Enough

She then armed herself with a handgun and pointed it at the officers, at which time an officer-involved shooting occurred," the statement read. [More]
Replica gun notwithstanding, that's not what makes this fair game for the "Only Ones" files.

What does is that you or I would not be "permitted" to go armed and capable of defending ourselves in L.A. without special connections.

"at which time an officer-involved shooting occurred"

All by itself.

This smells bad. Are we to believe that an unspecified number of cops, a mental health counselor, and EMTs(?) spent 90 minutes dealing with this person and did not secure any weapons in the room?

Are we to believe that the cops didn't taze, pepper spray, or thug scrum this woman the very second she didn't "stand up, get on the floor, put her hands behind her head and out to the side, put her left foot in, put her left foot out and shake it all about"?

What, you think they toss the entire apartment of every location they respond to...?

Freddie Prinze (if you're too young, Google him) offed himself with a gun hidden under a sofa pillow, right in front of friends, before anyone could stop him.

This ER minor bit player (not star) couldn't get work, had health problems, and lost her grip on reality.

Then with PD present she pulls out a hidden BB gun that looks real, points it at them, and in 0.6 seconds, someone reasonably fearing for their life solved all her problems.

Next case.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
