If he'd asked everyone to honk their horns the hog would've bolted into the brush. But no, time to see what hollow points do to a wild animal! -_-

this comparison owns.

it's infected the police over here in socialist europe as well, but they're far less militarized (and don't have millions of dollars of budget/army hand-me-downs).

My favorite part of On Killing is that its major source, SLA Marshall, was discredited before Grossman wrote the book.

I know a few people who’ve killed in the past and all of them are hosed up in the head and have ptsd. I know a marine who has to sleep with rubber sheets because he soaks his bed in sweat due to the night terrors he has.

Grossman’s definitely responsible for a few cop suicides because they weren’t ready for a head full of those memories.

Hi.

A child can kill a person just as easily as an adult. It's tragic, but a knife swung by a 16 year old is not any less fatal than one swung by a 26 year old.

I hope you can somehow parse this information.

Cute! It's as if that quoted tweet is extremely stupid and is somehow glossing over the fact that Mi'Kiah had already stabbed someone, and was trying to stab another.

I also love it when, in the video, the girl who was stabbed and fell to the ground was then punted in the head by a grown man, who then proceeded to berate the cop who shot a person actively trying to murder someone.

As a parent, If it were my child being attacked by someone with a knife, I would want the offender to be stopped by whatever means necessary.

You should really back up and quit moralizing and condescending at people.

Ok now explain how the dozens of white men who kill people and are taken in to custody unarmed every year are somehow different than this 16 year old girl and why not using lethal force in those instances is ok

If your kid is in a group who assaults lone girls to the point it drives them to act in self defense then you’re a lovely parent who should probably have your kids taken away until you and your child receive proper counseling and therapy.

But not bullets to the chest because I’m not a loving ghoul like you.

I finally watched the video, and the cop is lucky he didn’t shoot the gal in pink. He had options, and the one he chose increased the danger for everyone around. She was only a few feet away. He had other options than having to kill her.

I heard something about other cops being there already and doing nothing before the killer cop arrived. Can anyone c/d?

I used to work at a pediatric ER, and we had a 16 year old frequent-flyer psych patient who was as big as a college linebacker. He was in and out so many times that he learned the code to our med carts just by watching, and one day he opened one up, grabbed a syringe, and started lunging at people. Three security officers and a tiny RN managed to restrain him without anyone getting hurt.

It baffles me how cops are loving oblivious to the possibility that you can just totally outnumber one person and non-harmfully restrain them. But then again, I suppose that isn’t BADASS AND COOL. :rock:

No other uniformed cops on body cam until after the shooting. There's a cop car with a door opening that's briefly in frame during the assualting/shooting, but that report doesn't look to be accurate based on the footage. Maybe there's some other dashcam or doorbell cam video?
