It’s a sad state of affairs when several cops can’t disarm a woman with a knife. Didn’t they have a taser?

I think I read that Miguel was tazed twice before the fatal shot.

Dream on. At close quarters a knife is lethal. Advance on a cop with a knife. Prepare to die.

I remember police from fifty years ago fearing a person with a knife, The 21 foot rule and because, in their words,...”The knife is always loaded!”

Yeah, they shoulda just Chuck Norris round house kicked the knife outta her hand……… /s

The only way to “disarm” someone with a knife is two shots center mass, and one more to the forehead if they don’t drop from the double-tap.

Messing around with someone holding a knife is a great way to wind up dead.

Yes, they did shoot her with tazers and they said “they seemed to not have the desired effect.” So the officers mag-dumped her.
