Or, you know, a serrated blade much like that of a steak knife.

No it doesn't.

I'd like her recipe for dandelion greens. If she can make bitter late summer dandelion greens palatable, that might explain how she got to be 87

Chatsworth Police said Al-Bishara did not drop a steak knife despite several commands and a demonstration by officers.
She's 87 and probably cannot hear.

At one point, she walked toward officers with the knife, police said.
She's lucky they didn't use her for target practice.
I am generally very pro-law enforcement, but stories like this make me sometimes really not like cops.

They should have tried something else...

Officers began making hand gestures to indicate dropping a knife, but the woman still did not comply, the report states.

Etheridge told CNN affiliate WTVC that he took a knife from his pocket, showed it to Al-Bishara, and “threw my knife down on the ground, trying to make her understand what we wanted her to do.”
Oh.

I think we are at the point where cops just get praise for not shooting someone.

I don't. I just hope we're to the point where we don't act like idiots when cops do their jobs.

How are they going to get slashed? Are these cops so fat they can't out maneuver a 87 year old woman?
Clearly your pussy arse has never had to take a knife from someone.
It ain't like the movies.

Not really. I think if people didn’t commit crimes then they wouldn’t get shot.

I have a random older lady, not nearly 87 , who would come every year and pick our pecans. She did ask once though.
At least it was a taser, I often wonder about situations like this where the person is earthier foreign or disabled, mentally or physically. I suppose taser is better than being shot, but st her age I have no idea.

quote:wrong. any man who can't subdue and old woman without a taser is a giant pussy who shouldn't be a cop. It should be assumed that an old woman can't hear or has dementia, etc. Cops are pos.
Justified or not hinges on seeing this video
