This video is misunderstood by all of you. 

The woman in the video wanted to kill herself. She pointed the gun to her head.

Woman commits felony arson, calls 911 to get police to come, then invites officers into her home to watch video evidence of her committing the crime.

This was one is crazy to me. Guy in library violently chopping at everything with an ax, and everyone in the library barely react at all. Like zero survival instincts. He walks up and chops a computer, inches from a guys head and the guy doesn't even flinch. As far he as he knew, the next chop could have been his head, but didn't care. Everyone just goes about their business, as if a crazy ax wielding maniac isn't attacking everything with an ax. NPCs indeed. And then the cops unload their magazines at him at point-blank range, and he still lives.

They saw him whacking tables and walking past a person shoulder to shoulder without hurting him. Their instincts told them he wasn't an immediate threat to them, just the tables. Had they instead seen him running towards them with a wild-eyed stare and also seen him running after other people, they would have ran the hell out.

I don't buy that reasoning at all. If a crazed person with an ax is being violently and hacking at things around me, I'm not going to just take the chance and assume he's going to keep chopping at things and not start chopping at humans at any moment. Survival instincts are not betting your life in a potentially deadly situation. It takes nothing to just remove yourself from the situation for your own safety. To not do so is beyond foolish.

Power of hindsight and context clues like "police cam" and "this man was shot". Instinct is instinct. Instinct is when you're going purely by feels in the situation, which is what the people in the situation did, and may I say successfully so. You're talking about thinking rationally. That's something entirely different. By the way, I'm not saying you should trust your instincts and not think rationally in that situation. But people saying they had "zero survival instincts" in that situation are just wrong. The instincts were on point.

Agree to disagree. Just because someone does not die in a life-threatening situation does not mean their instincts were on point. If a person's instincts tell them to stay in a burning building, and the fire department comes and puts out the fire before they burn to death and they survive, it does not mean their survival instincts were right. It means they had poor survival instincts and were extremely lucky they didn't die.
