If i was a cop and outside of the car when he ran at me i would have shot him "to kill " also , because he was too close to shoot in the leg to stop him..

BUT

They didnt need to get out of the car in the first place.

Im not sure if any of you saw the recent knife wielding man in toronto canada.

Almost the same scenario , man with a knife in the middle of the street and no civilians within sight..

Instead of shooting the man instead one of the cops just got into his poice cruiser and ran him down. It makes alot more sense, the guy didnt even get injured nor any cop or civilian. Chances are your not going to kill the guy by running him down at 10 mph, but you will disarm him.

looks like they did the right thing to me

i could be wrong here, but i belive it's police policy to aim center-mass when an armed subject puts them in a life-threatening situation



that guy was an idiot

no moaning of a repost yet?

no one moaning about a repost yet?

Damn! So it's true that those ACME Super Knives with the Wyle E. Coyote Grip don't really work!

Guess I'll have to get my money back from Ebay.

I don't think the cops really had a choice

I like how so many people expect cops to be kind and friendly to a lunatic threatening their lives and others. Ahahaha. I always find that absolutely hilarious.

If somebody is trying to kill you... guess what... you grow a set of balls and take them out before they take you out so you can go home that night to your wife and kids. Anybody that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

humm forum is screwy

who is that chick in your sig?

there are levels of use of force a police officer can use, it starts off with just a grab (open hand), then gets into pepper spray, closed hand, baton, rubber bullets, reall bullets, etc.

The officers usually go 1 up, if you go to grab an officer, they'll put out pepper spray or use a closed hand to punch - if you punch an officer, they'll hit you with their baton - they do it in order to control the situation...

needless to say, you run at an officer with a knife, they'll shoot you. It's legal, and it happens many times during the year. Now the key is "running towards the officer."

And while the beanbag could have saved this guys life, most departments do not have these, mostly do to lack of money on the departments. Believe it or not many of the police and fire departments operate on skeleton budgets.

Most people vote NO to millages that could help increase the monies provided to these departments. Not trying to get into a big tax discussion but, my point was that most departments dont have these and if they do they are in select vehicles they may have to wait to arrive on scene. These guys didn't have a chance and they gave the guy plenty of opporunity to drop the knife.

looks like he deserved it.. more than the cops getting stabbed anyways

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh that was fucking hilarious! i forget that these type of people exist in the world sometimes!

guy was probly high as a kite on meth or something, i mean when you bring a knife to a gunfight you arent supposed to run at them, you are supposed to run the other way! :1orglaugh

what the hell was that guy doing with the knife in the first place?

Hilarious? Death is hilarious to you? Granted the guy deserved to be stopped by any means but I highly doubt the words of choice here are hilarious Meta?

it was a rubber knife

One less asshole in the world

I would of shot his ass too :2 cents:

At first the thing looked fake to me. Yet what I hope the public gets is that this is how death is dealt. It ain't Hollywood. It ain't make-believe. Notice how dude was shot with a shotgun but didn't fly backwards off his feet in slow motion? Noooo because it wuddn't a special effect.

Had I been there as an officer I would have blown his ass away too. Reason being three-fold:

1.) He did not comply to the command to stop while holding a deadly weapon.

2.) A man with a knife who is highly trained how to use one is a nightmare. He could have either killed an officer in 2 seconds or held one in a hostage situation. No. His ass had to go.

3.) He was barely clothed. Nothing to hold onto in a non-lethal force engagement. The odds of subdueing him was not good. His ass had to go.

Duddn't take a webmaster of a rocket scientist website to see the situation here.

I was raised by cops, grew up around cops and thank God each and every single one of them has come home after a day's work because they were professionally trained and tolerated no bullshit.

Hard? One of em had a SHOTGUN! :1orglaugh

But yes the idiot got what he deserved. A knife is worse for a crazy person to have than a gun in many respects.

im sure the world will be a better place without him.

I'm surprised Fletch isnt in here attacking what the cops did. No matter what, that guy always says the cops are wrong.

damn . . . I did not watch the video, but I have to say that you should turn off the tv for a while.

Only in the movies or tv do they shoot for the leg . . . you never fail to amaze me.

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight unless you are AFFA

Damn crazy clip.

that's it, end of the story

So only the officer with the shotgun should have fired and fired low? Fuck that. If it was ME he was lunging at I'd want every officer there to take a shot.

He was asking for it.

One less stupid person in the world. Put that one in the DSF folder. (Did Society a Favor)

:GFYBand :GFYBand :rasta

what was he thinking? - i mean even in a best case scenario, he makes it to one cop and kills him, another cop dies of heart failure due to the shock... that still leaves 2 cops.

What a fucking idiot.

what a dumb ass, another fine example why you dont charge cops with a weapon.
he deserved exactly what he got...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

One less piece of shit on the earth.

What an imbecil, he deserved that !!! :disgust

Ain't nothin wrong with that

there is a rule that says a man lunging at you with a Knife can still stab you if he gets within 19 feet.

Police are taught to shoot to kill not to mame or wound. If their life is threatened they will shoot to kill. If they wound the guy he will come back and sue the department. That situation was handled within perfect paramaters of the law . Pepper spray did nothing, the man lunged at the officer, endangering his life, they opened fire. End of story by the book!

So give him a Darwin award and move on

he had it coming unfortunately.

I love it when idiots go out of their way to show everyone just how fucking stupid they actually are. :)

:1orglaugh

There are too many crazy people around us. It's scary already.

The videos aint so clear. Anyway, thanx a lot!

oh well.

he must have been wanted on other charges if he was carrying a knife and resisting arrest.

too bad.

cops did the right thing
