WHITE LADY IN BODY ARMOR AIMS 9MM AT COPS AFTER INSANE CAR CHASE, DOESN’T GET SHOT ONCE [View all]

http://www.ifyouonlynews.com/videos/white-lady-in-body-armor-aims-9mm-at-cops-after-insane-car-chase-doesnt-get-shot-once-video/


"On Friday afternoon (December 26,2014), Julia Shields, 45, of Chattanooga, Tennessee went for a joyride in her car through a white suburban area. More specifically, wearing a flak jacket (bulletproof vest) and armed with a 9MM handgun, Shields engaged in a mobile shooting spree in her own neighborhood.

Police received multiple complaints of a white female shooter in a dark sedan and raced to the well-manicured upscale neighborhood. The first call received was “shots fired” and the authorities arrived on the scene at 3:52 p.m. Shields had fired at houses, windows and multiple vehicles — disabling some of the vehicles in the process. When the police initially caught up to Shields, they found her parked in the parking lot of the Stuart Heights Baptist Church.

Upon seeing the officers Shields then took off on a local highway, with the authorities in hot pursuit. Shields continued to fire out of her vehicle, endangering civilians as well as police officers. When her vehicle was cornered, close to the place where the shooting rampage initially began, she was taken into custody without incident…but not for lack of trying."

They knew it was a 9mm and no real threat like a 45 would be. ileus Dec 2014 #20
Yes, good thing, because a bullet from a 9mm killing machine will take more time to kill you than Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #21
The previous statement had to be a joke. NutmegYankee Dec 2014 #32
Sadly, the history of the comment author would say no, it was to be taken as serious. Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #36
Of course it was...pretty obvious..right? ileus Dec 2014 #42
One of the few cases where cops would be legitimately justified in using assault rifles NickB79 Dec 2014 #22
But some say she was not a real threat because the gun was a 9mm, not a .45. What gets folks Fred Sanders Dec 2014 #23
Pretty sure that was meant as a joke (I hope) NickB79 Dec 2014 #24
I'm certain that was sarcasm. JohnnyRingo Dec 2014 #53
I chalk this one up to blatant sexism....assuming the female harmless. ileus Dec 2014 #45
