(CNSNews.com) - Police in Antioch, Calif., shot and killed a man this week when he allegedly advanced on them with a carving knife and a meat fork.
Although a bullet killed 27-year-old Scott Dittman, it might not have happened if police could have used a TASER instead of a gun, a law enforcement lobbying group said on Friday.
The Law Enforcement Alliance of America calls Dittman's shooting the nation's "first real TASER death," and it pins the blame on the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, which released a report in October, warning about the rise in Taser-related deaths.

All's well that ends well.
"I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the properties class, and sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal."
-- Roger Baldwin, leftist, anarchist, and Communist, was born in Wellesley MA and co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened."

When they break out with the steak sauce, you know it's going to be rough
there are local news stories that criticize the "po po" for using tasers against those who resist arrest.
first it criticized officers who defended themselves with guns, now they dont want them to use tasers.
is the picture coming in to focus here?
the left wants to disarm police just like they want to disarm americas military.
...which is why it is so crucial that they not be permitted to disarm America's citizenry.
Those are amazing quotes, and I commend you for citing them.
I will be doing likewise, and I sincerely thank you. :)
Maybe the ending would have been happier if the culprit had also been a member of the ACLU.
OK... Whatever you say buddy. We'll be right there.
This is what the ACLU likes to see. Now they can demonize the cops for shooting him with a gun.
Facing an armed and dangerous subject, police officers are entirely justified in using lethal force, the LEAA noted.
The vampire was armed? I thought you needed a silver bullet to take down a vampire.
If, God forbid, we ever have another 9/11, I hope one of the planes is filled with ACLU lawyers.

Hannibal Lector?
No, that's what you use to kill a werewolf.
For vampires, you got to get them in a position to make it easy to drive a wooden stake through their heart. Getting him to assume a reclined position makes the finish easier to accomplish.
"I thought you needed a silver bullet to take down a vampire."
Nah!
Just a 'steak' through the heart.
Isn't that what the knife and fork were for?
:0)
Thanks for the quotes. Powerful stuff.
