She got lucky.
Yes, quite often. Officers are spread a lot more than most people think. They have bigger areas to cover.
Take you city size or population size and the number of cops in your local department. Take out the administration, detectives, evidence etc., then divide the remaining into three shifts plus specialty units such as K-9 or traffic units and they see what remains on any shift for your city or county size. Guess how many are busy with calls, arrests, transport, and court.
Additionally assume officers have days off, sick days, vacation, and guess what that is. The best part is then look at the area they cover. Figure out how long it takes YOU to get from place to place and realize how thin the blue line is really stretched.
This is why I always support the police, fire and EMS. They really are my heroes.
She was good at walking backwards and not tripping/falling.
That’s how to survive the Tueller drill.
He was way too close. Could have lunged at her even if shot.
Sounds like the guy was going for suicide by cop.
Think about a Country without armed LEO’s.
It’s sad that she did not shoot him sooner - probably because she’s concerned about politicians not having her back.
When seconds count the police are only minutes away. GO OUT THERE ARMED, people
The unnamed 55-year-old suspect remained hospitalized on Tuesday, KNXV reported.

What a shame the POS isn’t dead.
White man means the shoot away signal is GO!
Could she not have Tasered him first?
Then billy clubbed him?
Maced, Tasered then billy clubbed?
Yes, she should of shot sooner. What I don’t get is that there are a lot of people around and everyone simply wants to record? Nobody can step up and assist? What has become of our societies?
Not with a knife I would think. He was a lethal threat.
Or called a social worker.
Phoenix Councilman Sal DiCiccio praised the officer for her heroism and restraint.
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Praise her for her restraint, of course?
Heroism? Talk about a word being watered down to the point of where it is becoming meaningless.
Sort of like the ‘winners’ trophy for coming in first in the ‘losers bracket’.
Guess it started when the Military started giving out ribbons and medals for finishing boot camp.
Exactly. This was clearly a suicide attempt. So obvious. Many people cannot pull the trigger on themselves, they just can’t do it. So this is the way they go about it.

Had the perp been black, and the she a he, he would have been fired within the hour, Riots would breakout as Antifa and BLM commies loot the towns stores burning cop cars the national media would play the tape obsessively pointing out how murderous the racist cop was.
