Yet, you wonder why BLM exists... I don’t remember GOP or conservatives making the same argument during WACO, Ruby Ridge or Bundy stand offs... for some reason, those lives mattered...
@Vyxn people are forgetting Ruby Ridge and you are not here to remind us how evil cops and the government are being. Your take would be so useful now, since the cop killing militias from Obama days, are now acting like they are supporting cops. You would have such great insight...
@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?

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.
"We've gotta kill people because it's cheaper" is the worst take.

This is where we get back to ACAB.
The problem with policing in the USA isn't a few random officers. It's the entire system and culture of policing in general, nationally.
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.
And calling Officers ACAB is sure to get them to listen to you.
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.

Trump and his supporters who refuse to take safety precautions by wearing masks etc. are also putting others lives at risk, therefore by your logic...
