Assault of lady police officer with box cutter goes badly for hoodlum
[FOX] An LAPD ’top shot’ who had become somewhat of a social media darling is facing a lawsuit after she fatally shot a man who appeared to advance towards her with a knife.

Toni McBride, 23, shot and killed Daniel Hernandez, 38 on April 22. A lawsuit was filed on behalf of Hernandez’s 14-year-old daughter, claiming that McBride had "reckless, violent and homicidal propensities," the Daily Mail reported.

As a member of the Newton Division in South Central Los Angeles, McBride and her partner responded to a multiple-vehicle collision, with a suspect carrying a "folding utility-type knife" confronting her and ignoring commands to drop the weapon, the LAPD report stated. McBride shot four times and killed the suspect, later identified as Hernandez.

#2 I think you mean McBride's family - she was the thug-shooter.
Hernandez was the idiot who brought a box-cutter to a gunfight.

#7 police have too much firearm training

They wand a one year old bystander shoot by cops? Upon reflection, silly question - of course they do.

#8 I pulled his name up ...

Mr. Hernandez was no angel.
He was under a drug influence when he caused a 5-Car Collision. On arrival witnesses told Officer McBride that Mr. Hernandez acting weird and suicidal. He emerged from his Car and at least 3+ videos show he was holding a Knife or Box Cutter.
2 of the videos clearly hear the officer repeatedly yelling drop the weapon as he continued towards the officer.

An autopsy showed Hernandez had methamphetamines in his system, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

Sounds like Suicide by Cop once the traffic accident failed.
