Wow now that is different!! I wonder if her seizure medication was making her acting like that.

Seems like there should have been a better way to stop her from injuring herself like that.

Could be anything, meds, having a seizure, or just not happy with her life. I do think the cops were wrong in shooting her but I understand too. They were protecting themself along with any other people along the street or drive where her car was.

Maybe cops should carry tazers instead.
