They shot a man that only had a knife?
Shouldn't they have responded in kind and only pulled out THEIR knife?
Shouldn't any response be "proportionate"?

#Obama once said something like “If they bring a knife we’ll bring a gun” - that’s what St Louis City Police did - They had the right to use force! Enough said

He was a gentle giant.... I bet the guy was brought in by the democrats to incite violence. They certainly do not mind he is dead. He provides another excuse to riot. They can always hire more thugs for $10/hr.

That's it, good to see you, CC! We do fast work :-).

The man who answered the phone at the store sounded totally downhearted... stay safe, he told me.

The cancer will spread until it is destroyed here. Early treatment is best.

Looks like a lovely place to retire.

I wonder where the local church is? Bingo hall? Surely there’s an opera house in walking distance!

That’s okay, can still be proportionate. The looters only now require the next encounter be that the thug pull out a gun and the police respond with a knife.

Thanks. It looks like they’re moving east to the river. If they monitor I-70 and I-270 they can contain before it moves south.

Looks like another less than friendly neighborhood. Google earth actually goes down an alley behind the store. I see bars on the windows there.
