@nbcnewyork: A 68-year-old woman was shot and killed by police in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on Aug. 8. Deborah Terrell was allegedly holding a knife when police pepper-sprayed, tased and then shot her multiple times in the hallway of the senior housing building where she lives. New cellphone video provided by her family shows the deadly exchange between Terrell and police. The family is demanding justice for the grandmother. #newjersey #shooting #police

Pepper spray in itself is enough to stop an old woman with a knife, hell even the taser. But the moment you draw a gun on an old woman who’s already been prepped sprayed and tased it’s not for self defense

I want everyone to remember. Sydney Wilson got the chance to exit her apartment, and was given multiple warnings before being shot. She was a capable, in decent physical health, young woman. And 1 officer responded to that call. She had a knife, and even slashed the officer. And that cop still had sense to try and deescalate the situation before shooting. This old woman was not given a chance or even a warning. Defending this, defends actual police gang activity

An old woman with a knife and four male police officers couldn’t disarm her?

So she presented lethal force and the equal force was brought to her after the non-lethal intermediate force failed? That is the definition of justified.

so a guy goes on a full blown stabbing spree and an armed civilian has enough sense and self control to simply hold him a gunpoint.... yet 4 cops can't deescalate and detain and old lady with a knife. 🙄

“Come on, come on”. How on earth could anyone fault the cops? She charged them with a knife and voiced aggression.

They could’ve easily taken her down without killing her, she was 68 years old!!!!! It baffles me how easily they just take people’s lives on the daily. It’s like they enjoy doing so, it’s terrifying honestly

Alot of yall don’t realize how strong elderly people are, especially if they have mental health issues. Ask anyone in healthcare how strong an elderly dementia patient is.
