Tarpon Springs Police: Officer fatally shot man armed with knife Off-duty cop was working a car show in downtown Tarpon Springs FDLE, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office will investigate incident
Just after 1:30 p.m., the officer was flagged down by citizens and alerted to a "suspicious" man on a bicycle in the area of Tarpon and Safford avenues. They described the man as wearing an orange jacket with the hood pulled over his head, Tarpon Springs Police said in a news release.
The officer made contact with the man, whom the officer said provided a fake name. The man provided another last name, which the officer called in over the police radio. The radio went silent for a moment, then the officer could be heard saying, "Shots fired, shots fired," according to the news release. The officer then said over the radio that the man had come at him with a knife.
The man was taken to Florida Hospital North Pinellas, where he was pronounced dead. The officer was not injured.
There were numerous witnesses to the incident, police said.
The names of the man and the officer have not been released. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investigate with help from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office forensics unit, police said.
The first dragster Don Garlits built had a Buick straight 8, outdated by 1953 but they were good engines. And the Dynaflows were also well built. Buicks with Dynaflows were gas hogs, that was the main drawback. We got a 2006 Ford Freestyle with the CVT. 160k miles, the trans is good but it’s got a bad sensor. Damn electronics!
Powerglides are two speed automatics.
Yes that is what I was saying.
Maybe could have stated it better.
Because he didn't want to hit any Powerglides?
I've seen some "thread-drift" in my time!

Ford! No, Chevy! Wrong! Why, you....

Ford.
They ran a Teuller drill in the last qualification course I shot, a number of police cadets and spouses also taking the course and having a real need to impress on them that an attacker with a knife need not be within arms reach to be a deadly threat.
Imagine the guy with the rubber knife's surprise when I didn't draw my weapon as he closed, so he came in for his kill, whereupon I had both knives out of my pockets and open, one in each hand, and went after him, hard and fast, screaming AYO GHOKHALI! And my knives were not rubber ones.
The class instructor hit his whistle before I made any actual cuts, and kind of wryly observed, Well, there's a technique I've never seen before....

I assume another angry envious little sht.
Everytime I go buy usual stuff or quality stuff in a black neighborhood, I always have a fracking black female cashier tell me what am I going to do with it etc.
These people have deep envy issues. Very bad atmosphere
It was a tiny bit ambiguous , but I think the blame was more on my shoulders. I guess I wanted to read it wrong. Reading it now, it makes total sense.
