"I don't know, it just seems there outta be a better way to deal with these things."
I wouldn't be a cop in that city for any reason. What would YOU have done when this huge guy lunged and attacked your partner in the head? Did you see the beginning of the tape and what started this?
Would you have just stood there waiting for more police to arrive? If so - we might have the cops dead instead of the man who died.
AARRRGHHH...if you read my posts, I said that in this circumstance the cops did exactly what they were supposed to do. What I was trying to discuss was why there isn't another way of taking down someone who is acting like this, why isn't there something other than a club. That's all.
