Right-O! The proper response when confronted with someone who is about to slash your face is to shoot them. The police acted wisely and in doing so probably saved other victims from this zipwad.

No dispute that he was a bit stupid, but do you honestly believe that two officers pumping eight rounds into a small drunk guy is an appropiate first response?

The proper response is usually to disarm the squirrel using your baton. Ever since I watched an undersized veteran cop disarm a huge drunk bowie knife waving bubba with two strokes of his stick, I have been dubious of the incidents where multiple cops gun down a obstreperous perp who waves an improvised weapon at 'em. These events illustrate the difference between the poseur and the professional.

These cops need to find a job more in line with their talents. "You want fries with that?"
