That doesn’t sound like a level playing field. Either the cops give the perp a gun, or they only use equal weapons and toss their guns down and use a knife. Hey, fair is fair.

Does anyone still wonder why journalism is the chosen major for “D” students at community college?

Yet another proof that sentence diagramming is no longer taught in English class.

IIRC, abuse of a corpse is illegal

This headline goes quite well with today’s other headline about a homeowner holding a robber at gunpoint in his bathrobe. LOL!

"Taken to Long Island College Hospital and treated for tinnitus"?

Now they can claim job related disability and sit on their butts for the next 50 years!

>>>The man allegedly stabbed his roommate... Looks like a case of police brutality, Secondly, to kill based on "alleged"?

Why did they need to shoot a dead man?

Bringing a knife to a gunfight never seems to work.

I had to go back pretty far to top that headline, but I recall this from about fifty years ago. It was the title for a Washington Post article about disputes between Russia and China:

Chinks in the Alliance?

I need to support the NYPD here. A guy, already dead, menacing them with a knife: these officers have no training against zombies. They did what they had to do.

Note to self: Never take a knife to a gunfight.
