Well, from the taseree's POV, I guess so.

Who voted that he had no business drawing his weapon?
What should he have been doing while Pinky was getting gutted?
Who needs a Tueller drill when you can get the real thing? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Portland_train_attackTueller Drill. We use it in our Concealed Pistol License (CPL in Michigan) class.
I get to be the knifer! I'm old and slow-people are stunned to get "cut up"

Regarding the OP...nothing more need be said that hasn't already been said, but I am going to complain about an argument I see all over Twitter: why'd he (the cop) have to shoot to kill?
My response: There is no shoot to wound. Not legally. Not philosophically.
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
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.
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.
Seriously, there might be a few Singapore bobbies talented enough with batons, but there are usually more than one responding to something like that. Y
7 Reasons Why Singapore’s Crime Rate is so Low
Talk about Singapore and their crime rate will almost always be mentioned. Unlike other countries, including those nearby, the crime rate…medium.com
Singapore does not mess around.
A few of us won't stop or retreat. Ever.
I fled Baltimore 40 years ago to come back home.
I know what a lost city is truly like and Portland still has a ways to go yet. It's comparatively tiny but has become the offered test bed for sociological experiments so it makes the news a lot.
But this new tactic of de-funding, demoralizing and attacking any and all law enforcement is new, And scarily effective.
Soon there will be no cops that want to stay on the job.
Yuri was right.
I hear home prices are skyrocketing! Sell!I'm holding breath that bubblegum don't come down in my hood.
Foster & 72nd.Curious what part of potland you live in? Neighborhood?
Over the last 30 + years I've worked in many of the cities various neighborhoods. There are neighborhoods where the peoples living there would not know how the city has changed in the last ten years if they didn't watch a lot of local news. Even if they did, frequently watch the news, they wouldn't know what its like to live in or near some of the neighborhoods. Just saying, I guess, depending on where you live in the Greater Portland Area a person my not have a real life concept of what this city is/has turned into.
Put it this way. I'm holding breath that bubblegum don't come down in my hood. Because there's no way there's enough law enforcement to help us. And no one would support us if we helped ourselves.
Now now, you know the answer is "shoot to stop the threat". Say it with me..... "Shoot - to - stop - the - dam - threat". So ya's don't git yaself into da troubles if you ever have to do it!!
But also better because anybody idiotic enough to ask you that question will not understand your sarcasm.
I hear home prices are skyrocketing! Sell!

During the discussion with Cuomo, Lemon also addressed comments that the officer should have deployed a Taser.
"Tasers don't work the way guns work," Lemon said. "Not at that distance," added Cuomo. "And not with that amount of time."
Lemon added: "If the woman in the pink was my sister, niece, wife, whatever … you have to make a decision. Is one life on that scene more valuable than another?
"And if someone is trying to take a life on that scene, do you protect the life of the person trying to take the life or do you protect the life of the person whose life is an imminent danger at that moment?
"It is tough because one is a 16-year-old. I don't know how old the other person is, but that other person's life was in imminent danger."
He later said: "Either way in that position, I think that someone's life probably would have ended. It could have been the other woman in the pink or it could've been the 16-year-old who sadly ended up dying."
Cuomo told Lemon: "Everything you're saying is instructive and brave. Because people don't want to hear you say that this was a justified shooting."
It's a pretty clear case of an officer protecting and serving. Also, I believe the bloom is off the constant rioting now, and they know it.I thought it was interesting to read that the Liberal Hardy Boys (Lemon/Cuomo) actually weighed in on this in support of the officer.

You're an acquired taste but I think you're growing on me.Not sure where a thread closure was mentioned, but I ain't closing s***.
