I think you've shown the entire board that you are a mentally ill homeless person with your thought process in these comments.BigFred said:Prognightmare said:Being a mentally ill homeless person doesn't excuse you from being a dumbass when brandishing a knife and approaching a cop.BigFred said:

This one might be a little problematic for the officer I think.

In this day and age, when the Columbus cop can be painted as a murderer, common sense goes out the window. This cop is likely to get even more heat on him in the court of public opinion. I had to watch a couple of times to actually see the steps he took towards the officer. It's not like he lunged at him but I can recognize there is danger there. I'm not really second guessing the officer myself but I can see how others might.

Unless I'm hearing it wrong, the guy sounds like he says "kill me.." right before the cop shoots. I may be wrong but it sounds like he said that.
The only person who said 'yay' was you. You're making **** up because you don't like the outcome and can't justify your position with logical arguments. Again, nobody is cheering.BigFred said:

It's outside San Fran so the cop is probably screwed. They're bringing charges on him for a separate and earlier police shooting.

21 feet. But you are correct.RiverAg 80 said:
I have presented several shootings like this to a Grand Jury. If the bad guy is 15 ft. away, or closer, he can close on the officer and stab him before the officer can pull the trigger if the officer is not already fully committed to pulling the trigger. It takes a second or 2 for the officer's brain to accept the fact he is being attacked then another second for the brain to say "pull the trigger." But if does take expert testimony to convince a grand jury, or a petit jury if indicted, how the brain reacts to situations like this and how quickly bad guys can move towards a target.
Also, if any of you know an ER doctor, ask the doctor what causes the most injuries, a knife or a gun. I have been very surprised by their answers.

Holleee *****
That news coverage is hot garbage.
The other incident is on you tube and is also highly justified. But he got a murder charge.

Pulling a knife on a cop is not a good idea..how did he think that would end?
The cop should have retreated /libs

One thing that would be very concerning about being shot, regardless of caliber, would be the chance of the bullet striking the spinal cord and leaving you paralyzed for life.Infection_Ag11 said:RiverAg 80 said:

Knife injuries are significantly more common, and depending on the type of ammunition in question often much more damaging. I would much rather be shot in the torso with a small caliber, lower velocity round than be stabbed in the same area. This is because stabbing generally isn't an in/out motion, it involves erratic tearing motions that can cause damage to a relatively large area. If a small caliber round doesn't have a vital organ/vessel in its path you will usually survive. Knife wounds commonly cause significant tissue and vessel damage many inches on either side of the initial tract.
