Where guns are banned, the most unusual things become deadly weapons!

What, they didn’t have time to bring in the SWAT team and choppers?

If he was dead, what’s the point. Target practice?

As long as the cops got to go home *safe* that night. Their job is so dangerous.

I remember with Rodney King and many saying if only they had a net in the trunk to throw over him.

You deal with what you got IMO, and here you had a guy with scissors going after the police. (bad move)

That is like coming after the police (or any one else) with a knife. If the police would have not gotten this guy and the person went after some innocent person who with a scissors, then what?

Tragic, but I get this one so far.

Apparently cops don’t carry nightsticks anymore. Or possibly are not trained to use them. I suspect a person well-trained in such use is more than a match for the average nut with a pair of scissors.

A scissor stab wound can bleed like one from the old three point bayonets. You can’t close it up well.

Everyone is focused on the wrong thing.

The police officers got to go home safely to their families that evening.

Nothing else is of consequence.

Chilling moment police decide to shoot dead mental patient armed with scissors ....

Why did they shoot him if he was already dead? Bad headline writer syndrome.

They used to lock up crazy folks. Now they leave them in homeless splendor on the streets. Things like this are going to happen.

At least this crazy guy isn’t going to have any more victims.

They just need to outlaw the private ownership of scissors and make it a crime to even steal them without a permit/S

Personally, I don’t expect the police to take a stabbing. You can stab someone in the neck and kill them.

Wild-eyed nutcase coming at me with scissors? A nutcase who has already stabbed someone? I’d certainly be putting a bullet in his brain, so I’m hardly going to complain about some cop doing it.

According to the headline, he was already dead.

They got to go home to their families and tell them that they shot a mental patient who was carrying scissors.

“I was really scared. I couldn’t move out of the way. Killing him was the only option. I feel better now knowing that he is dead and I’m not. I was able to come home to my family. Aren’t you glad?”
