“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.

It’s their call. They were the ones being threatened with a knife, not you.

“To preserve and protect?”

To place themselves in harm’s way needlessly. Why would you protect a person trying to kill you?

“They aren’t but it is an option.”

That’s right, they aren’t, and to use a taser against a person using deadly force against you would be sheer idiocy.

The rest of your post descends into meaningless, raving lunacy as usual so I’ll just leave it there.
