I counted 11 hands up commands, several put the knife down, he attacks and stabs, in the vest, the officer after being tasered. The problem is the criminal not our culture or police. Personally, I think they waited too long to fire, but I don't know the line of sight of the other officers. Delay could have resulted in serious injury to the stabbed officer.
You are correct; we do not have a bad cop problem, we have a bad citizen problem.
George Floyd, drug using (Fentenol) counterfeiter;
Trayvon Martin, drug using(purple drank) burgling sucker punching thug:
Big Mikey Brown, drug using strong arm thief jaywalker.
There are some to whom this does not apply, but mostly? Bad attitude and drug use get you self-defense shot by the people you try to kill.
Police are going to have to endure more life-threatening situations, as they are expected to not use lethal force until it’s dire.
The female officer officer with the taser did exactly that. I was expecting her to drop it and draw her weapon.
He was one weapon away from being unarmed, which means the cops will probably be arrested for murder (or as Biden puts it, he’s an unarmed person with a knife).
Biden would agree with a charge, they didn’t shoot him the leg as Joe requires. Besides, thanks to her vest she was hardly injured. Personally, when he went to the bag while being tasered it should have been over. Certainly when one of the police saw the knife. Assuming they had a clear shot.
