You could almost hear the excitement in his voice. He was obviously out there with the intention to kill the guy and not even trying to arrest him. Apparently that man was mentally ill too. This seems like it was straight out of a GTA game

Since when is having a knife and waving it around at people on the street considered "unarmed"?

OP is just looking for a reason to loot his local WalMart.

911 calls to police said the man had a black handle gun tucked into his waist band so police were on high alert. Idk what the item was in his waist band but he grabbed it, lifted it in the air, and shouted, "I am the law!" like he was Judge Dredd or something. That's when police let him have it.

I can't even watch these [COLOR="Black"]f[/COLOR]ucked up videos anymore

How hard is it to taze a guy? (Not considering how half the time their excuse is "oops, I mistook my gun for my tazer!")

Here's the real story:

At 9:25 a.m. that morning, someone called the police because a man was waving a knife in the 1100 block of Lochbrae Road. Callers complained to a police dispatcher that the man was not making sense and was behaving irrationally.

When the first officer arrived on the scene, the man charged at him, prompting the officer to lock himself in his police cruiser. The officer called for backup and tried to leave the area, but the man walked around the police cruiser and blocked it with his body.

When the two backup officers arrived, the man with a knife took off running. The officers began chasing him on foot, and one of them suffered a non-life-threatening injury to his lower body during the pursuit.

The man refused to comply with the officers’ commands and acted “really crazy.” When the officers approached the man, he turned around and charged at them. At that moment, both officers fired their weapons, striking the man, in accordance with the 21 foot rule.

Another idiot black armed and acting crazy gets killed.

"COPS R BAD!!!!!1111"



Should've been OP.

"21 foot rule". What bullshit. If you are too [COLOR="Black"]p[/COLOR]ussy that you have to murder anyone within 20 feet of you that has a knife you shouldn't be a police officer.

If the Cop has a partner there, one of them has to take charge and use non lethal while the other covers him with a gun as a contingency plan if the non lethals do not work.

Before anyone says "that isn't feasible", it is. They aren't properly trained and don't give a shit because it's now considered acceptable to blow someone away at the slightest threat.

i mistakenly thought it was 2 different views of the same shooting, turns out it was a different story that also happened not too long ago.

Seems like its more common than i thought.

"21 foot rule". What bullshit.

Originating from research by Salt Lake City trainer Dennis Tueller "rule" states that in the time it takes the average officer to recognize a threat, draw his sidearm and fire 2 rounds at center mass, an average subject charging at the officer with a knife or other cutting or stabbing weapon can cover a distance of 21 feet.

Is it bullshit?

And by what authority do you have to say it is feasible? And what if the "non-lethal" way not working means killing the cop? That is definitely feasible.

The number one way to defend yourself against a knife is by running away.

Lot of armchair law enforcement in this thread.

You're so retarded it hurts. Killing in self defense is not murder. Killing a public threat is not murder. A person can cover 20 feet in one second. You sound like that jackass BLM leader who thought cops were too trigger happy, and used lethal force unecessarily. So the police asked him if he wanted to take a simulation course and show them what he thought was justifiable use of force. This fool was blasting away everything that moved. After that he apologized to the police and said he had a newfound respect for the stress cops are put through everyday.

Yes. Complete bullshit.

For one these reports usually are from a call concerning "a man waving a knife". So for one you don't have to recognize the threat, you are already knowledgeable of that information before you are on scene. You respond to the call with your partner, both hop out the vehicle using the car door for shielding, one using non lethal and the other using his gun. If the person all of a sudden turns into Shinobi and starts charging, the partner with non lethal fires first and if the person still is not subdued then live fire should be used. This is very practical and safe when executed properly.

Your story about how everyone is a Shinobi ninja warrior that can close out 20 feet in under a second and stab an officer in the throat before he can draw his weapon is literally one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
