Body-camera footage released by the city of Winslow on Wednesday shows the seconds leading up to the fatal shooting of a 27-year-old Navajo woman by a Winslow police officer, with the woman advancing toward the officer with a pair of silver scissors in her left hand.

The video footage from March 27 shows the encounter between Loreal Tsingine and Officer Austin Shipley. Tsingine's death on Easter Sunday drew an immediate outcry in the city and strained relations between the city and Native Americans. The Navajo Reservation borders Winslow.

A shooting investigation was conducted by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, which was reviewed by Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery. He announced Friday that no charges would be filed against Shipley....

Shipley will remain on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal-affairs investigation that will be conducted by the Mesa Police Department, the city of Winslow announced Friday.

1. It is clear that LEO must overhaul how it deals with aggressive suspects...

Police have an array of non-lethal weaponry, including pepper spray, tasers, and clubs. Most of the time these are used to subdue assaultive suspects, and I see no reason why one of these was not used here. By the same token, those who are subdued after aggressve behavior -- to include other cimes like the hero-thug car chase -- should face heavier sentences when brought to bar.
