[Edward Teach]

Apparently this isn't clear enough. Let's try again:

"trapped one of the officers with his wheelchair...attempted to stab the officer with an object..."

It wasn't the trapped officer who shot, it was their partner, who had apparently just entered the room to find their partner trapped in a corner by the guy in the wheelchair, who had something in his hand, and was acting as though he intended to stab the other officer with it. He acted to prevent his partner from getting stabbed (or so he thought). Yes the outcome sucks, but the options for preventing a stabbing when the assailant has closed to within reach of their intended victim are limited, to say the least.

How many of you have heard of the 21 ft rule?

Trapped?
Gimme a break.
The guy had ONE arm and ONE leg.
You put your foot on the chair and give it a good shove.

You sure are sounding rather agitated over this in defense of a bad shooting.

I'm trying not crack a rib laughing at the image of a cop trapped in a corner by a double amputee in a wheel chair (how did the cop get in that position?) and a cop behind that wheel chair thinking he had better shoot instead of grabbing that guy's one arm.

How many of you have heard of the 21 ft rule?

I have heard of it. Does that apply to one-armed guys in wheel chairs? Did he have a Tim Allen supercharged chair? ROTFLMAO
