Don’t hold your breath for an explanation. A cop who can’t disarm a woman with a knife without shooting her to death shouldn’t be on the force
As someone noted before in the good old days you had to have size and strength to be a cop
” A cop who can’t disarm a woman with a knife without shooting her to death shouldn’t be on the force”
This is the most sensible statement on the thread. it’s not about whether they could shoot her, it’s about whether they should have.
I think you are underestimating how dangerous a knife can be. If this is what happened, the cop had every right to shoot her dead before she got close enough to be able to do any damage, sad as it is to have to do this to someone who might not have been able to help being mad.
How about I hold he knife and you try to handcuff me....then we will see how easy it is. I will make it easy on you..I will only use my left hand......
They are in Costco! Pick up a damn chair, cop!
I could keep a crazy woman from stabbing me with one of those folding chairs. I could bash her on the head with it too.
Nope, gotta shoot everybody today. Cops are becoming a joke. Shoot first and ask questions later.
Really? A woman who'd already been shot with a stun gun, and it had no effect? And was swinging a knife around?
What do you suggest the LEO do? Try to tackle her or take her from behind while she's wielding a knife? Have you ever tried to do that? Have you ever been trained to do that? It's not nearly as easy as you seem to think it is.
