How freakin’ stupid can the press be? He had that knife before he got in the car, in fact he likely was trying to hide the knife in the car and that was why he resisted.
It won’t matter if he had a AR15, a Glock and a Thomson submachine gun, there would still have been riots.........
“If they bring a knife, you bring a gun” - Obama
“””One of rip van biden’s famous “unarmed guy with a knife”?””
All the “news” stories about this called him an unarmed black father.
They might have to change it to....unarmed black father....with a deadly weapon in his hand.
“It won’t matter if he had a AR15, a Glock and a Thomson submachine gun, there would still have been riots.........”
It seems they rioted in Minnesota over someone killing himself.
So? He had a knife, in the car, so?
It was wasnt a imminent threat, like in his hand threatening the officer, that justified 7 shots to his back.I
Shot for opening his car door is not a good defense, keep trying.
every patriot should understand the Tueller drill.
Yes, and where was it they rioted over a fake story of a police shooting a black man that didn’t even happen?............
RE: every patriot should understand the Tueller drill.
From Wikipedia:
The Tueller Drill is a self-defense training exercise to prepare against a short-range knife attack when armed only with a holstered handgun. Sergeant Dennis Tueller, of the Salt Lake City, Utah Police Department wondered how quickly an attacker with a knife could cover 21 feet (6.4 m), so he timed volunteers as they raced to stab the target. He determined that it could be done in 1.5 seconds.

I didn’t hear that one. I believe it.
Why is it so damn difficult to get accurate and timely facts, important facts out to the public BEFORE the media incites violence. This Morning on CBS Gayle King said it was no big deal that the kid was lunging for the knife in the car because it was UNDER the floor mat, so because it was not in his hand and was under the mat then the cop shouldn't have shot him. This is the crazy stuff the media comes up with and could be avoided if we were given pertinent accurate descriptive FACTS earlier.
Let the facts come out in lieu of riots.
I honestly think the MSM should be held accountable for fueling the fire.
It also important to understand that at close range a knife can be much more dangerous than a gun.
Lunging for the knife after the cop ordered him to stand still is a problem. Cops aren't trained to allow felons to retrieve weapons to make it a fairer fight.
I have been victimized by police, one of them became a US Congressman.
Mobs are far more dangerous than guns.
Mobs are far more dangerous than guns.
Can’t tackle him cuz he has something in his hand, does not comply with a gun pointed at him, and is leaving with a car full of kids if he gets in with unknown weapons inside? Known violent history DV. That’s a pile of crap to send a social worker to.
