“She didn’t know who it was or what was happening,” Krulewitch said. “She had time to put on this coat and flee to the furthest corner of the apartment, the kitchen, and grabbed the teapot, I guess for self-defense. Thank heavens it wasn’t a knife.”
Jesus. Imagine having your life saved from the fact that you grabbed the wrong kitchen implement to defend yourself with.
I think the thing that saved her life was being a white woman. A tea pot in the hands of pretty much anyone else would be a lethal weapon in the eyes of intruding officers. They get extra scared when they kick down doors, so “feared for their life” has a much broad definition in that situation.
They’re really wusses, aren’t they?
Yes, they would totally murder you in your own home for holding a knife. Business as usual.
Edit: I would like to get a door like this https://youtu.be/3a5qXoU0uD4?si=rUG-CC4rY9SspLuj
That is a fantastic door. One of the YouTube comments said it bolts in six places with the turn of a key.
And then the endless parade as every cop in Spain goes through the battered door…
