..... I guar an damn tee you that give me a bat and come at me with as knife---- any knife, and you're going to get busted wide open, your arm broken and that knife knocked out of your hands before you touch me......
That is a completely worthless "guarantee." That is just your imagination.
Come at me with a knife so we can test your theory...
I have knives from all over the world that you've never seen! Some would make you shit your pants just at the sight of them.
But then, you'd like that.
Okay Moonbat freak. Police officers should not have to resort to deadly force!
Thanks, idiot, you just
AGREED with me. That is the problem, our many under-trained, unqualified police of today have apparently only one mode of operation now: SUBMIT or be gunned down. I've already offered many alternatives that were available to anyone trained in confrontation. The police expect to confront people all day long on a daily basis yet aren't skilled in any of these? Did either of these cops even bring with them ONE WEAPON other than a gun? No.
They are just like you and me not Ninjas, or Kung fu masters , You obviously live in a fantasy world somewhere in your mind. He was lawfully ordered to drop the weapon in his possession "Begged" actually. As an American citizen you have no right to refuse to obey a lawful order of a police officer. You have the right to surrender peacefully and debate your case in a court of law. If he broke no laws as you "assume" Then there would be no reason to not surrender without attacking the Officers. He brought a Knife to a gun fight always a bad idea one more wacko who won't hurt anybody else. These Men will carry this with them the rest of their lives unfortunately, always better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6! IMO
Look, Moron, let me make it easy for you. A knife is a pointy thing in your hand. You have to come within arm's length to use it. The police are there to serve and protect. That doesn't mean themselves, that means the public. Like it or not, this crazy idiot with a knife was still ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. He might have had a learning or mental issue, maybe a medication or disability issue. Maybe he didn't understand English. There are many non-lethal ways to deal with a knife attack, even with a gun. Some here have tried to dismiss me or claim I'm making myself out as a "Bruce Lee" when nothing of the sort is true or necessary. Yes, I have some fighting and weapons training, but you all are simply ridiculing me in order to avoid admitting that the cops there didn't even try to stop this guy without killing him.
You talk a bold game now but you'd sing a different tune if that was your brother, father or son. For all we know that guy just got news that a loved one had just died and was so out of his mind stricken with grief that he didn't want to go on. There are many good reasons why a person might act that way yet not be any real danger. In fact, there was no one else even in the video, so who was this guy endangering? What crime had be committed? The cop could have simply backed off, gotten back in his car and been safe until he came out with some non-lethal weapon to subdue the person. Hell, they take down ELEPHANTS and LIONS in the wild with nothing more than a tranquilizer dart! Are all you blind idiots really arguing that an animal deserves better treatment than a man? There was no immediate danger in this case other than the one created by the arrival and presence of the police.
With the police today, for whatever reason, it is now submit to verbal command or we will simply gun you down in a hail of bullets until they have to pick you up with a shovel. JUST ONCE, I'd like a police investigation begin with the question: "Did you even TRY to stop this guy without gunning him down in a hail of bullets? Did you even try to use any of the many non-lethal tools we supplied you with?"
The funny thing is how some of you scoffed at stopping him with a baseball bat where you have a piece of wood 4 inches across with a hitting surface maybe 12 inches long, but you have no qualms about being able to hit him with a ball of lead 1/3rd inch across.
"IMPOSSIBLE situation?" Pleeeease. The really sad part of this was watching this guy charge the one cop from over 20 feet away and tackle the cop and almost take his gun while even shot and the officer stood there basically clueless, no idea how to even defend himself much less stop the assailant.
***** police. Without a gun to save their asses, these two "police" would be helpless and dead. Without their guns, this guy would have easily overpowered and killed the first cop, then run down and killed the second. Pathetic. I expect my police to be better trained and skilled than this.
