It was far from good. That should have ended waaaaay sooner.

That’s in my neck of the woods. As if there isn’t enough petty crime around Athens, but now I’ve got to worry about the knife-wielding lunatics?!
And here I was thinking that I was good after leaving Baton Rouge.

Jesus Christ. That poor cop was begging him not to make him shoot him. Dude was a psycho who wanted to die.
Why did he put his gun up the second time he charged though?
That cop is going to be fricked in the head for a while now.

Get the fck out here with your rubber bullets pansy. That dude just took several rounds of real lead and still tried to kill him. What a dumbass candy arse way to think.
If an intruder broke into your home and put a knife to your throat would you use rubber fricking bullets ? Why is it ok for the perp to use lethal force and not the police?

God bless those police officers. They aren't paid nearly enough to deal with the situations that they are put in.

What if... ONE cop started with rubber bullets...
What if... they adjusted their strategy for rubber bullets...
But you can join the OT tough guy club if that's worth anything to you.
That is a great theory. Have you ever tried it live?

I can appreciate trying to help someone who may have been mentally ill, but once he runs at you, just fricking put him down for good.
The fact that he didn't put the rest of his clip in that dude when he got back up is frustrating.
I'm not a police officer, so I'm not privy to procedure, but I can't imagine he wouldn't have been justified in just unloading into that guy.
No reason for him to have been in a situation where the guy with the knife was able to get to him like that.

Good shoot.
Probably mentally ill.
But certainly had a death wish.

You want to stack a magazine with two rubbers, two real, two rubbers, two real? What the frick are you talking about ? Do you know anything about firearms ? Ever racked a pistol ? Ever switched a magazine while staying on target? Ever been trained to fire while moving backwards like this officer ?
I’m not a try hard. I’m just an every day person with a pistol for home defense and one who enjoys going to the range. I’m not some wanna be Navy SEAL. I just know basic facts. And nothing you have said comes close to being plausible.
In your other dumb scenario with one cop having rubber bullets... rubber shoots and the guy charges because he is pissed, now the officer with lead shoots, same result. Or like this case, guy charges without any action taken , now the rubber officer is shooting rubber bullets at him while his partner is going to center on the target with real lead and everything ends the same ? You know nothing. How about we meet at Sonic? I get a knife and you get rubber bullets. I’ll enjoy a limeade while waiting for the coroner to come get you dummy.

The cop was admirable in that he reallllllly didn’t want to kill the guy. 99% of cops would’ve emptied the rest of the mag, but I guess he wanted to try and keep the guy alive. Police holsters have several retention mechanisms that a perp is very unlikely to figure out in a scuffle, so I guess he holstered to try and take the gun out of the equation and subdue him without it.
Noble, but misguided.

But you can see from the second body cam that he barely even gets the gun holstered while the guy is grabbing him. It could've been very bad.

I thought they should've shot him 2 mins into the video. Gave him ample time to put the knife down.

Like I said, it was misguided He is very lucky

Waited waaaaay longer to shoot than I would have. I wonder if this is the result of some specific policy?
Posted on 7/2/19 at 7:27 pm to GoodOlBaw
Dude was obviously psychotic and needed help, but there's not much the officers can do other than shoot. You can tell the officer really didn't want to.
Posted on 7/2/19 at 7:33 pm to GoodOlBaw
I am so sick of this shite. I’m glad he shot him and they need to dig him up and shoot him again.
Posted on 7/2/19 at 7:41 pm to GoodOlBaw
If you shoot you basically have to shoot to kill. I have no idea why anyone would want to be a cop anymore
