Yep completely justified, but as usual another excuse to riot. Imagine being dumb enough to charge at police with a weapon.

@muto can we just agree that someone being killed is bad and that if any way could have been used to safely avoid the killing, should have been used? Can we just agree on the basic worth of human life?Last edited by Felya; 2020-10-28 at 01:24 PM.

Yeah we can. It could have been avoided by not charging at the police with a knife. Originally Posted by Felya

Why is that the point of killing being justified? Can you fathom any other alternative? Because this implies that there is a point where human life is worthless to you or that you lack any sort of critical thinking that could make you think of a solution that doesn’t result in death.

It’s like the quote ‘bringing a knife to a gun fight’ has no irony for white supremacists. ‘He shouldn’t have charged’. Right...because let’s discount the fact that he has mental health issues...

If a man charging two cops with a knife, is putting their lives at enough risk, to kill the person charging... they need retraining. With proper training, two police officers, with a multitude of none lethal weapons in their possession, should be able to detain a knife wielding assailant, without intentionally killing them...

From watching the video, it looks like the guy wasn't up for talking to anyone.

In all fairness, they should have try to use tasers first. Originally Posted by muto

The issue here is most probably the lack of "proper training" as we have seen the formation to become police officer is quite short. Originally Posted by Felya

In that case, you can blame the department, but not the 2 officers then. Originally Posted by dragonballgtz

They did not have tasers and were not issued them due to budget apparently. Originally Posted by Specialka

It is sad that it is always the non lethal option that are removed in case of low budget, but not surprinsing in a country with so many weapons. Sending Officers with only non lethal weapons would be a death sentence. Originally Posted by Endus

Man, with police budgets so inflated, what are they spending it all on? More ammo for the range? Originally Posted by kaid

Cops are armed with TASERS which, even the short video shows, they had PLENTY of time to switch to. A hail of bullets is not the proper response to someone armed with a knife a half-dozen yards away. Guns shouldn't even be drawn unless the people they're facing off with are brandishing them. Originally Posted by muto

It seems than in this case, they were not armed with tasers due to budget limitations. Originally Posted by Benggaul
