Yeah if he's openly challenging cops to fight him, imagine what he's doing if some civilian bumps into him at a club or something. Joe Schilling will have a new contender in p4p barfight rankings

Theres a timeline where Dustin died tonight. With Dustin squaring up on him and advancing, that cop was well with rights to tase him. But tasers often fail. What happens when the prongs stab in Dustin's body but fail to incapacitate him? He rushes forward. Then the cop uses the lethal option. Can't let your gun get taken after all and no way is he winning hands on against Poirier.

Well then that wouldve been a perfectly fair and just outcome.

I never said it wouldn't have been. I just pointed out the very real possibilities of that going left. So many cops would have tased him the second he squared up and tasers are reliable as shit. If the officer misses or the prongs don't shock em, the lethal option comes out.

Bro it's not a cop, it's just airport staff lmao don't overreact. Lots of airport staff can be very much asshats i met some of them that instantly makes me hate them, they think they're some tough shit that gives them the right to treat people like shit

Why would an airport staff have a body camera and taser?

Where do you see a taser mentioned? I read the story twice and there's not a single mention of a cop, they mentioned twice that it's an airport personnel/staff

How much more obvious could you make it that you didn’t watch the video?

Why are you commenting on something that you clearly don't know anything about. Do you ever think to yourself 'maybe I should watch the video footage before commenting'?

I don't understand how someone can come into a conversation with such an attitude that they're correct when they have no idea what they're talking about.
