it's because he turned around and started back. if you go towards an officer with a knife and you don't listen. they're going to shoot.
Cops don't shoot to wound. they shoot to kill. this means multiple shots if needed. this guy was also on drugs. drugs make people superhuman sometimes, and it takes more than one to bring them down.
Like I said glad they got him but we need to keep people in check. At least as much as the state keeps me in check.

I understand how drugs work..... and apparently they don't shoot to kill. He didn't die. There are plenty of places to hit that are a kill shot. Then again I have never killed anything with a 9mm. My 45 pits things down in 1.

I'm only saying all of this because I hate hearing people bash Law Enforcement. yes, sometimes things could have gone another way, but also you weren't there. don't have their training, and you don't have to deal with this stuff on a daily basis. plus the media. when have you ever seen/heard them say something 100% accurate.

Im happy you responded cause i was gonna. Anyone dumb enough to charge at someone with a gun when you're only holding a knife kinda deserves to get shot. And yea being on drugs def made him less responsive.
As for the charges, not sure if they all fit but that's for the judge and jury to decide. He may get charged for those but may only get sentenced for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Or rather aggravated harassment since he didn't even touch them with it

in reality police are not there to protect you. their safety is their priority number one. they will wait outside for backup to have safety in numbers if need be. you attack them, they will fight back one way or another. when through the academy they do go over people with a knife and theres a certain distance that allows them to shoot. i think its like 10 feet. and if you're going towards them, probably holding it in a threatening manor. yeah...they're probably going to shoot.
dude....i hate you right now.

yeah. well I'm just saying from what I've been taught (via sheriffs office, the one that was involved in this case) and through experience with them and such. We get almost the same type of training as them, just a whole lot less intense and not nearly as much.

Helped a duramax pull out a school bus today. I could hear my dana 35 whining.
Hopefully getting my steering squared away soon. My front tires are wearing bad. Waiting on one tre before I get an alignment.
