Ok, tiger in the dojo but no police experience. Got it, thanks.
That is as stupid as insisting that unless you were in combat on active duty, you have no right to an opinion regarding military policy.
Like I said before, cops have faced knife-wielding perps since I have been breathing, and in my fifty-plus years I do not recall that cops had a policy of emptying their guns into a suicidal or drug-induced imbecile like we see today.
I’m not comfortable living in a police state, even if you are.
One day it will be used against you- and shoot-to-kill orders you applauded today will be used on you tomorrow. That is what history teaches happens in police state regimes run by a central authority.
