“So, now they have to take a knife to a knife fight?”
Maybe it just means the cops don’t get to shoot you 30 times for holding a butter knife.
Maybe.
Just throwing this out there. So, a fella standing twenty or so feet from an officer that has his weapon drawn, beaded on the suspect holding a knife....why can't the cop pop a cap in the guyz thigh? Perhaps a couple.
Would this not halt the threat? Is it really necessary to take someones life when it can be avoided? I realize not every situation fits this scenario, but I've seen a few videos where officers killed a person holding a knife...and they really didn't have to.
I know there are those folks that will come at me with...whah whah whah, dah cop wants to go home too-woo-woo.
Psssst! newsflash, not every cop is a straight arrow folks. There is about 10% of every segment of society that are bad apples. Even law enforcement.
