If it is true that banter causes threads to be closed, then that is pretty sad. Perhaps we should hire Sister Mary Elephant to keep the class in order.This type of banter is what will get this thread closed.
IMHO That night stick is a poor defense against a determined attacker with a knife. If I'm willing to take a couple of hits from a stick my chances of getting close enough to inflect significant damage with a knife. Hence the old saying "When in close proximity run to a gun, run from a knife".I didn't vote because I didn't like any of the options, which leads us to why the officer decided to shoot the knife-girl, if he had like a 3'-4' hardwood baton or staff like they had in the old days, he could have put the hurt on knife girl, saved the day and no one gets killed. Sure she might end up with a broken arm or two. The problem is long ago beating an attacker into submission was demeaned brutal and excessive force so what tools are left, handcuffs, maybe some chemical irritant, possibly a taser and of course the duty weapon. If the taser and spray only sometimes work in some situations then the tool that gets used the most is probably going to be the pistol. So my vote would have been d) night stick beating
Getting donuts and coffee? Or waiting for a racially appropriate officer to arrive?Who voted that he had no business drawing his weapon?
What should he have been doing while Pinky was getting gutted?
I got this thing about knife attacks.
If he had selected the Taser, at the range he had to shoot before the one woman got stabbed, the odds of hitting the aggressor were not 100%. Probably 50/50. Taser darts are not like bullets. They have a limited range before they go off track and miss the target. Most test I've seen recommend 10 feet or less for Taser use.

As I posted on another thread a couple of weeks back - we once had a demo from an Israeli SF sergeant using krav maga. He was never EVER going to let ANYBODY holding a knife nearer than 20 feet from his person. Heck, you could be carrying a pistol just ten feet away away from a guy coming at you with a knife and intent, in which case, if you haven't already got it pointed and don't do a mag-dump on his face, you are going to be unzipped from crotch to gullet.
From ten feet it took less than half a second - we watched, and learned, Grasshopper
No it aint.I'm ready to jump In and parrot the dialog.
Stop killing black people. Seriously, no sarcasm. Go to the ends of reality to ensure that no human being of African genetic descent is killed by a public safety worker.
Create a system of American apartheid that has a separate law enforcement procedure determined by a citizens skin color. Watch the cities whither and rot as businesses close up. See real estate skyrocket in flyover states, while urban areas get purchased by Chinese investors at foreclosed prices . I don't care. I'm never going to visit Seattle or San Francisco ever again . Portland, I still have hope for you. Don't ask me why. That city is different somehow.
ThisIt seems obvious to me that the powers that be are attempting to provoke a race war with blue state or usa government backing?
Worst?However, the worst tasering I every heard about took place when the barbs went straight into the wide-open mouth of an assailant, embedding into the roof at the back.
ouch.

That is a just a bus stop on the route the final terminal destination. A militarized national police force, and the disarming of the citizens.This
