Show me where in the police book of rules it states that officers are not only expected to but required to disarm knife wielding aggressors inside their precincts by hand.
Why would a person allow another person wielding a knife in a threatening manner to approach within melee range thus increasing the effectiveness of the weapon that person is wielding?
Why should an officer be expected to use a taser against a person with a knife?
What if the taser prong misses as the suspect is charging?
What if the taser prong hits the knife and deflects off thus rendering the taser useless?
Did any of those officers show up on scene with a loaded bean bag gun? No? Oh well.
I am curious as to why you expect a person to risk their own life for this person’s life, when it is quite clear that this person does not care for their own life, and very likely does not care for anyone else’s life?

“Show me where in the police book of rules it states that officers are not only expected to but required to disarm knife wielding aggressors inside their precincts by hand.”
In fact it says if they can ‘legally’ use deadly force they must. Right?
“Why would a person allow another person wielding a knife in a threatening manner to approach”
To preserve and protect?
“Why should an officer be expected to use a taser against a person with a knife?”
They aren’t but it is an option.
“What if the taser prong misses as the suspect is charging?”
You’re right, flame throwers are the answer!!!!
What if the cops just started shooting everyone?? Ya know just to be safe.
If you feel that YOU could end this situation exactly as went down and stand before the creator when your time comes and justify it, well, we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this.
