It was mentioned about 6 times in a 7 minute long video how heroic she was.
I do not know how to say this without sounding like an asshole, but is it really heroic to shoot an unarmed man from 6 feet away?
Now do not get me wrong, she did a GOOD thing, and I respect her for going right for a kill shot rather than a ****ing preservation of life leg shot, mentally Ill or not that man deserved to die that day and I am glad she did it. You dont stab babies and get to live, **** that!
It was heroic by name but not in nature I guess? Now, if she had threw down the gun, rolled up her sleeves and wrestled the guy into submission so he would live and face justice? THAT would be heroic as ****.
But I do not see shooting an unarmed man dead from feet away as all that heroic, she had every advantage when going into that confrontation and she would have had to try really hard to **** it up. Her training was probably more difficult that that.
Again, she did a great thing and I hope she gets promoted and a ****ing raise, but lets hold off on inducting her into the Avengers for the moment ok?

She is also getting praised for trying to resuscitate the guy she had just shot, like it was optional on her part. Aint it standard police protocol that if a head shot was not delivered, you have to try and save the persons life?
