Sorry, don’t buy it. A woman with a knife should be disarmable by a competant cop. She wasn’t a weapons exepert - THEY are PAID to be ones.
If military people are trained to do this, cops should be capabvle of doing it.
But then, its increasingly apparent we have precious few COMPETANT cops, and a whole Benefit Package Full of paramilitary wannabes instead.

Yes I have done it. A cop should be able to disarm a sample passer outter in his sleep.
Shes not a superman ya know. Now I know you're not only talking out of your hat, but you can't read either.
She'd already been tazed and was still advancing on them.
You have never done it.
To: editor-surveyor
Tazers are mostly nonsense. Only about 25% are strongly affected by them. This was a really bad shoot, and was totally unnecessary.
Law enforcement grade Tazers are strong enough to cause NMI (which would cause the woman to drop both the knife and scissors) in nearly everyone UNLESS they are having a psychotic episode (usually drug induced).
I'm still trying to figure out what you meant when you said you'd tuck and roll. I have to suspect that you don't know what you're talking about based on your outright lack of knowledge. Simply throwing out some slang and false statistics isn't a substitute for fact.
To: South Hawthorne
"Real conservatives" don't gun down obviously ill people. They get help for them.
If this woman was my daughter, wife or mother, there are eight cops (and a store manager) that would not be able to afford an unguarded moment as long as I still drew breath.

Sure I have. There are many options before killing someone.
Shooting is easier if you lack the training or will to do more than fill your hand with a six shooter.

We now have no need to suspect that you’re either a total idiot, or another killer-cop, you’ve confirmed it.

South Hawthorne is himself a killer cop, so he cares not what you say.

Never argue with a killer cop; they’ll wear out your keyboard.

Never argue with a killer cop; theyll wear out your keyboard.I gotta agree with that one. The 'I'm a professional you're not so do as I say and abandon all critical thought' line gets tiresome.

You’re correct of course. Its really past time that we took the reins back.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office was also not talking today, saying only that it's investigating. They are reviewing surveillance video.http://www.wjla.com/articles/2013/05/after-loudoun-deputies-kill-woman-in-sterling-costco-questions-are-raised-89462.html

I can see why a half dozen men would fear for their lives in her presence. Their only chance was to empty their magazines into her at point-blank range.

But when your agenda is to bash police officersI am getting so sick of the constant cop bashing on FR.
To: Lonely NY Conservative; South Hawthorne
Ill reserve judgment until all the facts are in, but I think there are some questions to be answered here on first blush. Cop hater!

stroke/aneurysm Xactly. If the autopsy shows anything like that, these killer cops should be sued for everything they own. And charged with excessive force. This was not necessary. Those who serve and protect have become knee-jerk cowards.
Sorry, but cops dont protect anything anymore, they just come to clean up. I would prefer the old west at this point. Give me my equalizer. I can take care of myself thank you very much.
