I'm not going to say she wasn't being a fucking moron here - I imagine most people understand that having a firearm during an altercation with cops will lead to them freaking the fuck out - but I also have a hard time understanding why cops think that screaming "DROP THE GUN!" over and over again will help. If anything that's probably going to make whoever they're screaming at also freak out, and fight-or-flight responses aren't exactly rational in the best of circumstances.
