the money quote:“The situation is very unfortunate,” Faris said, reading from a statement at a news conference. “It does appear, at this time, that Deputy Knox’s actions were an appropriate response to what he reasonably believed to be an imminent threat to his life.”

This sounds like something from The Onion.

It is a horrible event that the idiots we pay to go around collecting taxes and cracking skulls shot a dude with a cane thinking it is a rifle.

The very scary part is the Officer gets institutional sanction. That should chill your blood.

Probably get a reprimand for not killing the citizen.

Cop fires several times at an old man leaning over his truck bed and hits him once. Good shooting there Barney.

Could have been worse. Old guy have been carrying a concealed colostomy.

Several shots at a 70-year-old man from what must have been 15 feet away at most, and he hit him once.

That sounds like panic firing to me.

GUN!! pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop

"Deputy Knox’s actions were an appropriate response to what he reasonably believed to be an imminent threat to his life.”

Right. Because he's a cop and everyone he meets wants him dead. Every stick might be a gun. Every wallet might be a pistol.

Unless the old man was screaming, "I'm gonna shoot you, M-F-!" this guy was out of control. What the h- kind of training are these guys receiving?

Once again, the cops recuse themselves of any wrongdoing.

They will sit on it for a while, but the cop will be found innocent of all wrongdoing.

The city is 100% responsible for all medical bills and expenses caused to the innocent man. In addition, the man is due a large settlement for his troubles. It should be in the tens of millions.

Obviously, none of it will be paid, and the country will sink deeper into fascism.

If this is SOP then every citizen must view all police as a mortal danger. And if that’s the case it’s your moral duty to avoid any interaction with police at all costs.

Can you see the Police making this same statement if had been a civilian that shot the guy?

Poor old guy, At least now the cops will learn to respect the new 4-barrelled semi-automatic walker he’ll have to use to get around now.

Look, it’s pretty much a cardinal rule that when you are around a cop, you DO NOT make any sudden movements, and you keep your hands in plain sight, if at all possible, and empty of *anything* that could conceivably look like a weapon.

The very best, most assuring way to behave is to follow “Military instructional rules.” This is pretty easy to do, if you think about it ahead of time. Simply put, you give the cop a lot of feedback about what you are doing.

For example, you get pulled over in a traffic stop. You roll down your window just a few inches and put both hands on the top of your steering wheel.

Cop: “May I see you license, registration, and proof of insurance, sir?”

You: “My license is in my wallet. My registration, and proof of insurance are in my glove box. I am now reaching for my wallet.”

It sounds methodical, and it is. If you have a weapon in your glove box, you tell them that it is there *first* and that you are licensed, as needs be, to have it.

I have done this at a traffic stop, and it works, to a great extent because it makes you sound like a military type who is not going to do something rash or stupid.

Always an ‘imminent threat’. I see cops as an imminent threat, so can I just shoot them on sight before they shoot me?

All that’s required is that a cop imagines that a citizen ‘may’ pose a threat and the cop has the right to kill the person...
