WHAT?! Waiting for the "Why couldn't they shoot the hatchet out of his hands? THEY didn't have to kill him!" whining in 3,.....2,.....

[Izzy Dunne]

I blame the N H A.

[George from New England]

Waiting to see if female cop. Story avoids that.

Saw a clip,of an officer shooting a knife wielding suspect 11 times, and the suspect kept on attacking and then walked off.

Yep, no need for more tha 5 rounds, ever /s

[George from New England]

In the end if female, she saved taxpayers a bundle of $$$.
You can thank her.

But I project that females are more likely to take a life as they are most of the time, less able to subdue a man, naturally.

[sappy]

we need sensible hatchet control.....

[SERKIT]

Is “her” first name Jason?

[Iron Munro]

Why oh why won’t the evil republicans help caring democrats pass the Assault Hatchet ban?

It’s time to put a stop to crazed Boy Scouts freely wandering the woods and toolies brandishing their dangerous Assault Hatchets!

[skr]

Why would it matter?

[coloradan]

Another death by “gun violence”, which is just further proof that guns need to be taken away from citizens. Despite the fact that the shooting was justified, and done by a cop. This is still counted as “death by gun violence” by those who count such things.

I blame the N H A.

LOL !

[rktman]

Yup. My mom fell down while carrying an unopened bottle of wine inside her house and cut her hand quite badly. Yup, alcohol related injury.

[neverevergiveup]

No more assault hatchets.

[mykroar]

A white male suspect

Nah

“Waiting to see if female cop.”

From the police statement video at the link it sounds like there were 2 cops in the car.

Also, I’ve never thought female cops, female prison guards or female front line military troops was ever a good idea IMO.

Females are just not able to handle some jobs physically......that’s just the way it is and no amount of affirmative action hiring policies is ever gonna change that.....no doubt it’s probably got a few people killed though....sadly.

"Never bring a hatchet to a gun fight!"

[rarestia]

It was a white male. Down the memory hole it goes!

[Vaduz]

A case of another ghost hatchet.

[Vaquero]

Sounds like suicide by cop.

[cableguymn]

Clearly we need universal background checks to buy/sell/transfer hatchets.
