After seeing the NM cop get attacked with that knife in that horrific video, I’d be shooting as soon as I saw a glimmer of steel. Tueller drill, yo.

All of these “fear of life” certitude arguments fly in the face of reality. The Mythbusters tested the “Bring a knife to a gun fight myth” and found that 90% (If I recall correctly) of the time, a trained guy with the knife WON the gun against knife fight when it started 21 feet or less away. So the distances of most in-house, or person-to-person encounters, the guy with a knife has a nine to one edge if they are at all aggressive.

Yep...and now the MSM and idiot Freepers calling for shooting in the leg and "cops can go home tonight" crap can all worship Saint Sling Blade:

Cop should have had the mag empty and changing mags at this point.
