Don't bring a knife to a gunfight...

[Rurudyne]

Having a father who succumbed to a violent moment of Stupid shouldn’t give you standing to sue the person that killed him.

[broken_clock]

She can be on my zombie team anytime.

[SkyDancer]

She’ll be thrown under the bus for her action by IA to appease the BLM people.

[BenLurkin]

not guilty

[Gay State Conservative]

Sorry,kid...your father got exactly what he was asking for.Not a nickel for you...*or* your filthy lawyer!

[Tijeras_Slim]

LAPD used to have one of the best pistol teams going.

I must say...he was quite a distance away with that knife.

[BenLurkin]

Dropped him in his tracks.

[MinorityRepublican]

Not guilty.

[Rj Snows]

Anything closer than 30 feet is a danger

[newfreep]

The officer should have shot the knife out of the perp’s fingers...and all would be fine.

Clear case of police brutality....if the BurnLootMurder cult can testify.

https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/cutting-distance-tueller-drill/ says 21 feet may be too close for an active knife against a pistol

[Menehune56]

I second that motion.

[eastexsteve]

I must say...he was quite a distance away with that knife.

He was close enough to be a deadly threat.

It's ironic, they want to portray themselves as bad azzz, sexy defenders of America...But bring in a mob of Democrat university cultist, looters, vandals and arsonist destroying entire cities in broad daylight, and they're hiding, no where to be seen, or standing around gawking. Then the excuse..."We're not allowed to do our jobs"....Yet when it's a car stop, or a mental case in a home that's surrounded or similar scenarios, they're the no-nonsense tough guys.

[albie]

That’s an impossible position to be in. She’s wrong no matter what she does and I’m sure that idiot was emboldened by what he perceived to be his immortality.

[eastexsteve]

It’s not whether or not he was too close, his obvious intent to do harm to the police officer is a big factor. If someone approaches you wielding a boxcutter, do you think they just want to shake your hand?
