I've seen some Jap chick eating/sucking dick cheese, one of the rare cases of a boner killer

"We at the Yale School of Public Health were deeply saddened to learn of the March 3 fatal shooting of Dr. Yan Li by a San Diego police officer and several San Diego County sheriff’s deputies. Dr. Li was a talented scientist who received her doctorate in biostatistics from our school, winning one of our most prestigious student awards. It is heartbreaking to see a colleague’s life end violently in footage from police body cameras. Our hearts go out to everyone scarred by this tragedy, none of whom began their day expecting such trauma. It is wise, then, to seek to learn about the origin of events that led both to the stabbing of a police officer and that cost the life of a 47-year-old scientist and mother of a UC Berkeley student.

It is evident from our perspective that Dr. Li, facing eviction, was in a state of crisis when she opened her door to a deputy serving the notice. Dr. Li expressed doubt as to the authenticity of the law enforcement officer, opened her door holding a knife, and slammed the door after a brief verbal exchange. The officer responded by swearing and shouting, likely validating, in Dr. Li’s perspective, the threat to her welfare.

From the videos made public by the Sheriff’s Department, back-up officers arrived unaccompanied by any mental health professional. The law enforcement personnel returning to the apartment brought a police dog and both non-lethal (a “bean-bag” gun) and lethal weapons. Efforts were made to talk to Dr. Li but without any of the benefit of subtlety or nuance that mental health professionals are trained to deploy. When the officers entered Dr. Li’s home, they did so with a goal of disarming a person they considered a threat to public safety. When Dr. Li chased the officers out of her home and lunged suddenly with a knife, she injured a police officer, and a hail of bullets ended her life.

The circumstances of the killing of Ms. Breonna Taylor two years ago in Louisville, Kentucky, are quite different but involved a home invasion by law enforcement with similarly tragic results. Forcing one’s entry into a residence can be expected to generate fearful responses, as occurred when Ms. Taylor’s boyfriend fired a gun at the plain-clothed intruders.

What is the most productive path forward, seeking to learn from this event? Best practices used in other law enforcement jurisdictions should be studied to see how persons experiencing a crisis can best be engaged with the assistance of trained mental health professionals. Such experts can be embedded within law enforcement personnel, and their deployment can be part of the standard procedures for emergency response when dealing with a potentially disturbed person. This may not work in an acute crisis, but a knife-wielder in her own apartment who is being revisited by law enforcement might have been managed in a non-lethal fashion. We do not know whether this would have been reasonable, so an independent investigation is needed to further illuminate the circumstances around this incident with a goal of developing future preventive strategies.



Officers do not join law enforcement out of desire to serve eviction notices. These interactions are inherently emotionally straining and traumatic. Both those serving and receiving eviction notices would be well-served by the presence of a mental health professional in such trying moments. Furthermore, if law enforcement officers kill someone, we may see a subsequent threat to the well-being and careers of the officers involved. Hence, mental health workers in law enforcement can help avoid or mitigate post-trauma crises that affect citizens and officers alike.

It is worth considering whether Dr. Li’s decision to encounter officers while holding a knife might have been addressed without the use of lethal force. Serving an eviction notice is not the same as an emergent and violent crime. When she was wielding her knife inside her condo, one presumes that a de-escalation protocol with the assistance of a mental health professional working with the officers might have contributed to a salutary outcome.

Dr. Li’s killing suggests to us the need for both better non-lethal crisis intervention training for law enforcement officers and for embedded staff specializing in mental health and social services to assist officers in de-escalating crises and avoiding tragic deaths. We acknowledge the loss and the suffering to all involved.

Lol, but She spoke like any other store clerk from the Asian part of the shitty wok...
Btw the academia can get fucked, she was clearly violent with a gun, a taser wouldn't make the "cut" (lol)
She was a goner anyway....

This shows the lack of training in US police force.
Ordering her to put down the knife after serving her the papers was completely unnecessary escalation of a situation that had already ended. It was over. The cop could have just walked away. She was in her home and could have been there with a chainsaw if she wanted to. In these situations, you talk until the other side calms down. You don't make unnecessary threats. As soon as a cop starts screaming orders...he has failed his training.

Sorry if it's a repost i did search DR for asian females getting shot.

Sherriff should have shot her in first 2min. Dumb psycho.

Sheriff shouldn't have shot her at all. Cops are fucking gun happy. She was not a threat in any way, shape or form that warranted breaking into her home and shooting her.

I love seeing pigs in agony

[ScreamingHand]

A perfect example of non-lethal not working. They clearly tried to shoot her several times with beanbags, and she still was able to charge them and get close enough that she could kiss them. Justified shooting.

She closed the door.
Just fuck off after that.

You can't answer the door and threaten someone with a knife, ESPECIALLY a police officer. Doesn't matter if it's your house, I don't get to open my door holding a Glock whenever I feel like it.

“Dr. Li was a talented scientist who received her doctorate in biostatistics from our school”

Well that was a cluster fuck from beginning to end.
Looked like the guy who first knocked the door was in plain clothes and I didn’t hear him say he was police or did I miss that?
Mind you, some Asian women when they lose it, they really lose it.

I swear, american cops has to be the most incompetent police in the world.
Seconded by the likes of mexico and Brazil.

It's a real shame none of the piggies managed to shoot each other or themselves. Glad the dog is okay.
