The ones who are not problems don’t make trouble. If there are problem ones they should be handled.
But a person coming at you with a weapon should rarely survive IMO more than those they go after.

Well, I have a big problem with killing a old man with Alzheimers and a pair of scissors. This guy didn’t pose a real threat to the cops. We had two incidents with the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Dept. masquerading as the San Ramon PD.
In one case they were asked by a concerned out of area friend to call on a resident female whom the concerned party thought might be suicidal. She let the officers in and then grabbed a knife off the counter and was shot dead on the spot. She was Asian and all of five feet tall! That’s just murder by cop! Although our retired police chief called it “suicide by cop.” I had to give up being his friend because he saw everything in life through the twisted prism of “law enforcement.” Everyone was a crook waiting to happen. Everyone was an inveterate lawbreaker. When we disagreed, I was a “cop hater” because I didn’t see things his way. Good law enforcement has gone the way of the do-do bird. Just union thugs with guns and bad attitudes toward everyone but other cops! They are the last people I would call if trouble arises.
