This is a throwback to the police of old, to protect and serve. Modern police SOP would be to shoot the knife-wielding assailant.
“Modern police SOP would be to shoot the knife-wielding assailant.”
Really,that’s standard procedure?
I assume that you’re in law enforcement if you claim that.

I think you are correct.
I’m not sure a knife wielding shitbag who would stab a cop in the eye, while the cop’s tying to save him needs to be kept alive to deal with other innocents later on. Lets face it - in Cali it is a wonder some judge didn’t give that illegal a ruling mandating Law Enforcement is banned from ever interacting with him again, because of white supremacy, before setting him free on society.
The cop is a machine, and deserves credit, but I would still support shoot on sight as an SOP for mentals with knives trying to off themselves.
We need more Darwinian selection in this society, not less.
