She made a derogatory comment so the officer left? WTF? That does not sound right.

I hope that she gets help
Very confusing report. “He’s got a gun”
Woman with gun.
Tribal police LEAVES?
It is confusing. But that is what occurred. Imagine being an officer at the scene trying to sort it all out.
Kym I’ve been there and done that. Sometimes you need to back off and wait for more qualified help
If you’re so great at reporting start your own Blog let Kym run hers the way SHE wants to not how YOU want her to!!!!
Is something wrong man? You seem worked up today? Wanna talk about it bud?
No surprise Humboldt County and tribal all went scurrying they say it’s not worth their lives… and tell you don’t call them anymore when you ask how come they don’t do their jobs
How the hell do you turn “the woman said something derogatory to the Tribal officer. “So he scurried out of the area.” into “No surprise Humboldt County and tribal all went scurrying” ?
Whoa, acute Hoopiasis – Or is it Weed, whites, and wine? Hope everyone stays safe!

Even Jesse came down from the ridgetop and moved to Hawaii. I think that song was done best by Ronstadt…
“Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together now, try to love one another, right now…” Youngbloods
Actually that song was done by the Eagles!!!
I’m so glad no one was shot. Great job to our LEO’S and (according to the scanner ) A family member who helped talk this person out. Thank God no shots fired and this person will get the help they need.
