They have better weapons and numbers when they do it than we do when we have to deal with knives (and scissors in this case) in bars and at BBQs and all the places those of us who are unarmed and alone have to deal with them.
It is surprising to watch the videos of some of these foreign cops deal with guys who are armed with knives, especially Latin American cops.
For some reason cops used to fight the lightly armed guy with a billy club rather than just shoot him, what changed?
Cops should not have to fight every threat, BUT sometimes they should, we need cops who are willing to take some risks to do cop work, and that means sometimes fighting rather than just shooting everything that they meet, from dogs to women and boys.
Here is one example of some brave British cops, the internet has many such videos of foreign cops.

Most of the cops in America had their billy clubs/batons taken away and replaced with tasers.
Was it good for the gene pool?
“…we need cops who are willing to take some risks to do cop work, and that means sometimes fighting “
We had cops who did that, then they feminized the job. Not all scissors wielders are equal. Some you might take down other ways some it might seem advisable to shoot. With a feminized force the resort to deadly force is extremely likely.
