So, a bipolar man with a knife is not dangerous? How would you have handled it. Taser didn’t work. Whats next?

> Whats next?

How about a tranquilizer gun or a rubber round to the trunk?

He wasn’t lunging at anyone.

He had no hostages.

He just wanted to be left alone.

IDK, but if was a loose wild bear they would of used a tranq on him. Bear lives, bipolar human dies.

Shoot him in the leg and watch him drop that knife. Just keep your distance.

I believe the case this freeper is referring to is the murder of John T. Williams in Seattle. Williams was partially deaf and a wood carver.

The man was carving a small wood carving knife while he crossed a street in front of a police car. The officer jumped from the car shouted ‘ drop the knife ‘ a few times and seconds later simply shot the man to death.

At no time did the wood carver turn to face the officer, he did not threaten the officer either. That is the finding of the Seattle police investigation and the testimony of the witnesses.

The police gave the mother of the victim over 1 million dollars and the cop resigned.

You watch this dash cam footage and tell me what happened. You'll be shocked.
