The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
Because tasers can be ineffective due to any number of things.
Also click at own risk to see how harmless knives are.
That is like asking why they don't use a taser when they are armed with a .22LR pistol
Just because as a cop you "sign up for the job" doesn't mean your life is forfeit.
Asking about a 5 year old is a strawman argument.

Sadly a good majority (take note I did not say ALL) of black people think this way regardless of what the situation is. Its like the cousin of that guy that was shot by a homeowner after he broke in her house. The cousin was like "hes from the hood how else is he going to make money, she should had let him go" Really? REALLY? (here is a link to that for those that think this is made up https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...f7PrswQlWyPJMw
You rob someone and get arrested and "African American — was a factor"
You get caught selling drugs and go to jail - "African American — was a factor"
Someone in the drive thru gets your order wrong - "African American — was a factor"
Its because of this fact that the race does not ever pull itself out of the 200 year old rutt its been in.
race has nothing to do with this, undertrained cops do.

so you should wait till some one is about to stab you before you can shoot them? good way to get your self killed i guess.

this is not always an option for people with mental illness they might not understand the commands and have no way to compel.

you are living in a fantasy world if you think cops have no guard for black peoples safety.
No wonder people get shot, if they dont follow simple common sense. But even more importantly, why dont we wait for the facts to come out and the investigation to take place before we make a judgement on what happened.
Making an uninformed judgement demonstrates a willingness to ignore facts and go straight for emotion.

If anything, I think being pregnant and having mental issues only makes it sound like it's more likely that she reacted in a way more inclined to get herself shot. Obviously they are being used as a way to create further bias against the officers involved but you have stop and wonder just how calm she was in the situation.
Well considering that we all know that the OP loves posting these things and then going off half cocked on all of them, are we really surprised..
OT Even though this was probably a justified shooting you know that people like the OP will play the race card, and riot over it citing police brutality..
Knives are not toys. You can do a lot of fatal damage in a VERY short amount of time, and basically negate the advantage of your opponent having a gun if you close the distance gap. Pregnant woman or not, cops don't fuck around if you're armed with a knife and refuse to drop it when instructed to. Nor should they.
i see the usual suspects are blaming the usual people and defending the criminal.
sigh
they weren't even a criminal.
there are reasons on both sides to be against what the cops did and for it. in america the police are not trained to deal with the mentally illness or knifes properly while on the other side a knife is a deadly weapon and some times deadly force is the right option.
Darn, I could only stomach the first half a dozen pages of reading responses. Did anyone ever come up with the "why dint day shoot dat knife outz her hand ?". it's one of my favorite "cops are evil and shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves from being attacked" allegations I tednt to find in this cases.
So in the UK, cops without guns managed to get a terror attack under control with batons. In the US a pregnant woman with a knife needs to get shot. Ok. I'm sure there's great cops in the us that do their job in a proper way. But they sure do make themselves look like a bunch of undertrained clowns in general.
There isn't a single woman who is 30 and pregnant that I can't stop myself barehanded. She can have all the knives in the world. Pregnant and 30. god sake people. 2 police vs 1 30 years old pregnant woman. Run and give her a flying kick in the face.
Still it was like better safe than be sorry I think.

I think you either need to take your meds or book an appointment with a psychiatrist. If you honestly think you can just subdue an adult with a knife barehanded, I'd welcome you to try it because natural selection still exists and it's an amazing thing.
Maybe you should show these gentleman getting stabbed/killed by a drunk with a knife some of your skills.
