A lot of people here in Tn remember the name
of Fallon Talent..that little gal killed two
Wilson County cops at a road block.
Friggin car sure can be a deadly weapon
We had a local case where a man who was a drunk well known to police and had never been violent was raising hell with a neighbor. When police arrived the perp killed the first cop through the door with the only round he had and the second cop killed the perp. The usual suspects started screeching about the second cop killing an unarmed man.
I can also remember a case where I don’t believe the shooting was justified. 3 cops shot a guy from 10 or 15 yards away as he ran from them with a box cutter in hand.
And then there are the cases when a shooting is justified but police show restraint. Just last winter a guy a few miles from here chased 2 cops around his yard with a chainsaw. They managed to get the cruiser between themselves and the perp and managed to talk him down and arrested him peacefully.
Every single case is different.
