    Legit why wasnt he shot? I have seen police shoot at a man just holding a knife but this guy can literally attack a cop?

    Seriously? The cops are public enemy number one because the media has brainwashed people into thinking that. We’re barrelling towards a lawless society from this social engineering.

    Im not saying all cops are bad im saying i have seen police be significantly less patient on people standing their ground with a weapon and shoot them. These cops are legit getting attacked badly and take it and dont do much. Thats why im curious as to why he wasnt shot.

    All situations are not the exact same. Different cops different mentalities, training, etc.

    Cops aren’t just bloodthirsty robots around black people and compassionate careful beings around white people. It’s just different situations.

    Yeah. Buddy is determined to beat those cops to death given the opportunity. Deadly force would be appropriate in this case.

    Cops or Security? I feel cops would have pulled the glock when the stun obviously failed. But I don't know, was not there. Anyone have the outcome?

    No one is ignoring that if you wanna make an actual counter point make one but facts don't cease to exist because you ignore them

    The fact is someone is alleging that if that guy were black they would have shot him but since he’s white they did not.

    This isn’t a provable fact by any measure and should be summarily dismissed instead of being accepted.

    I’m sorry, but if a perp is wearing layers, I’m going for my gun, not my taser.

    Pepper spray would also be effective.

    Realistically I’m throwing hands though on this guy. Distraction strikes and an effective take down is all we need. Proper training would alleviate this situation.

    The police officers have a right to draw their weapons and use force (deadly) if deemed necessary. I would argue in this case they have every right to defend themselves using their service weapon.

    Hows thats? Better?

    Cop don't want none. He needs to reconsider his career. He is going to get someone hurt or killed by his lack of aggression and fighting skills.

    Deadly force triangle: the 3 things you need to be authorized to use dealy force 1. Opportunity: this is satisfied the guy is right on you. 2. Intent: ehh depends on the jury on this one could go either way but cops are given extra lenientcy so doubt the court would say there isn't intent 3 Capability: this is where you have a problem the guy is two on one vs the cops. The chances he could beat a cop to death before the other one stepped in is slim to none. This would be a dirty shot.

    That being said Jesus fucking Christ. You are given so many non lethal tools. A baton, pepper spray, tazer, and not to mention these hands. The fact these dorks are letting this guy work them is insane. They seem to not know how to fight. Not good under pressure shit hit the fan and they threw all the training out of the window.

    Note: not a cop here is just sometimes stand security for the military. Cops are lame as you can see.

    Different police departments hire and train to different standards.

    Also cops that have to use force more often due to the calls they go to are better in these situations.

    It’s all just a spectrum. It’s not “cops are lame.”

    Some cops are fuckin supermen and some cops are totally worthless. There is a massive swath of experience and ability in between them.

    It's surprisingly hard to get ahold of somebody when they want to take you down, but you're trying not to hurt them.

    Good on these guys for not losing their temper.
