So cops aren't trained in how to take a person down?
My mom was a deputy sheriff. Two cousins are city cops. My step brother is a deputy.
I can assure you that every one of them was taught how take a person down to the ground.
As for bouncers...after playing in nightclubs from 1978 forward all over the country...I've seen them handle guys who had guns, knives, nunchucks, brass nuckles, broken bottles...you name it. None of those bouncers ever killed anyone.
I'm not saying that "deadly force" isn't needed sometimes. It is.
But NOT against an unarmed man.
IF the cop was going to shoot him...why not in the leg? Or the shoulder? Why is it that cops are shooting to kill everytime they draw their weapon?
