The Police Tribune released a body cam video (warning: explicit violence) of a Michigan deputy emptying her magazine (after clearing a malfunction) into Sean Ernest Ruis shortly after the unarmed suspect stabbed a senior citizen and then came after the deputy with a knife and a screwdriver. The deputy fortunately did not heed Joe Biden's advice to shoot the unarmed man in his leg, as depicted here: "Instead of standing there and teaching a cop, when there's an unarmed person coming at them with a knife or something, you shoot them in the leg instead of in the heart is a very different thing." This is why she did not, as Black Lives Matter puts it, "oink her last" and why her family will not be getting a folded flag.
There are several good lessons from this incident that should go viral well before the November election.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, whose policies may have killed thousands of helpless nursing home patients, said, "No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer and too many innocent people have died already." The bodycam video shows that the deputy emptied her entire magazine, which apparently held 15 or more rounds (that's five more than Cuomo said she needed), before the unarmed assailant was no longer capable of sticking his knife or something, in this case a screwdriver, into her. This proves Cuomo dishonest or incompetent with regard to the realities of armed self-defense, and probably both. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said, "We protect geese more than we protect — no joke: you can only have three shotgun shells when you go shooting for geese."

Not sure what firearm she was using, maybe a Glock 19 9mm. Seems the malfunction was caused when the perp contacted the gun.
A person attacking with a knife or screwdriver is not “unarmed”.
Having a knife and a screwdriver means the suspect was armed. Are they really being this absurd. I don’t even remember this absurdity from 15 years ago when a man was shot dead from running at a cop with a knife.
She’s either a bad shot or the perp was almost immune to bullets.
How can a man with a knife be “unarmed”?
Did the guy eventually die? Was she shooting BBs? He got shot like 12 times and was still alive on the street.
“unarmed” - with a knife and a screwdriver?
Of course mass murderer Cuomo takes sides against the cop, what a cowardly low life
I wonder if leftists are actually capable of learning hard lessons?
Words mean things. This writer needs a dictionary.
From article: “I’m not a law enforcement professional, but I think the deputy let the aggressor get too close, and apparently within ten feet before firing. Twenty-one feet is Tueller Drill range, which means the assailant can reach you in 1.5 seconds, and you need to not only” fire, but also stop him during the little time you have. My own experience, which was fortunately with a training simulator and not a real assailant, was that the bad guy cut my throat before I could aim and fire. The deputy went more than the extra mile to avoid shooting the suspect and fired only when she clearly had no choice.”
Good thing her 9mm had a big magazine. I think that a .45 have solved things faster.
Unarmed?
Who writes this crap?......................
From the body camera, it looks like she did pretty good with her aim. I think he was on something.
“after the unarmed suspect stabbed a senior citizen and then came after the deputy with a knife and a screwdriver”
I see the press can’t help but lie about facts.
This speaks to the concept of “man killer” and “man stopper” bullets. A .45 is seen as a man stopper. It knocks them on their butt, even though they may survive. Meanwhile, an adrenalin infused perp can take a bunch of 9mm bullets and keep coming. He’ll probably die, but kill you before he does.
“..Not sure what firearm she was using, maybe a Glock 19 9mm. Seems the malfunction was caused when the perp contacted the gun....”
Agree. Looks like a Glock 19 and sounds like a 9mm.
IF a perp can get close enough to actually grab the slide without getting shot, the gun will not cycle after the next shot and jam. She cleared it pretty quickly though and did what she had to do. Shot placement is everything and in a situation like that, it’s pretty hard to do. Practice, practice, practice.
BTW, Cuomo is a fricken’ idiot that should be charged with mass murder and crimes against humanity.

They are. But only after you empty a magazine into them.
