“A crew of Jefferson Parish workers was repairing a Metairie water main broken by Hurricane Ida when a woman pulled up in her car Wednesday, called them ‘fuckng n****rs’ and demanded that they be arrested. The workers then flagged down sheriff’s deputies and reported her harassment, at which point the woman twice struck one officer with her car before another deputy shot her to death, said Sheriff Joe Lopinto and an eyewitness who recorded a series of videos of the beginning of the woman’s meltdown. Lopinto gave few details of the confrontation during a brief meeting with news reporters, but he suggested the woman might have been in mental distress. ‘There didn’t seem to be a whole lot right with her,’ he said” – New Orleans Advocate.
