        She pulled a knife on the officers. She had a history of it. Why are you so dishonest? #Trump

        Why shoot to kill? Good grief, a woman with a knife against armed police? Shoot her in the knees or arm. For heaven sake, stop the killing!

        A police cam might have been helpful. We need to know why a civilian female knife-holder was so threatening to trained police officers.

        Mental health workers manage to manage mentally ill without killing them. Why can't police?

        White people that have a firearm are taken alive by police. Anyone black, even unarmed, are shot almost on sight by police.

        "Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, in a statement Sunday afternoon, called the incident “a tragedy for all involved.” For the cops, it was murder.

        If someone tried to break into my house? I'd have large Bowie knife in my hand when police showed up. How does that deserve death penalty?

        She was concerned the officers were going to take her children. Appears she was trying to defend against the officers, not burglars.

        According to the report, she brandished the knife after the officers had arrived.

        Since she's dead, guess she needed to be afraid. This isn't ok. It's not a death penalty offense. Don't try to justify it!
