Shocking video captured the moment an Argentinian police inspector was stabbed to death by an emotionally disturbed man who pulled out a knife in front of stunned customers at a café along a busy street in Buenos Aires

Inspector Juan Pablo Roldán, 33, head of the Mounted Police Unit, managed to shoot the attacker three times in the leg but was stabbed four times — with the knife penetrating his heart even though he was wearing a bulletproof vest, the news outlet reported.

I do not hesitate to criticize the police for a bad shoot. But the other side of the coin must be considered as well.

I’m posting this story from 2020 to refute the suggestion from some liberals that the cop in the Ma'Khia Bryant shooting should have just shot her in the leg. That’s exactly what the Argentinian cop did here. He shot the knife-wielder in the leg. And then the cop got himself stabbed to death.

Illustrating perfectly the absurdity of the argument that shooting a suspect in the leg is sufficient to stop the threat.

Kevlar vests don't repel pointed objects, like knives.
Kevlar vests distribute out the point of impact of bullets only,
and only those of a certain power and caliber.

Sadly, there were no teachers nearby to stop this knife fight.

Knife fighting is harmless playing. I learned that from CNN.

Where’s the ban knives crowd.

Cops shouldn’t give these sickos 4 chances.

“...hurling himself at a policeman who fired two shots into the ground to stop him but the guy stabbed him...”

If only he’d fired those shots into the air like Joy Behar suggested.

As soon as the suspect advanced on them, they should have dropped him immediately. Stupid move cost the cop his life.

And the cops body armor did nothing to stop the knife, as it penetrated his heart, as it’s designed to stop bullets, not knives.

So on one hand the Left is all about banning dangerous weapons, but on the other hand they say knife fighting is harmless recreation that all kids do and shouldn’t be illegal. Life is hard. It’s even harder when you have that kind of cognitive dissonance in your head.
