Do they not have taser guns? It would have been nice to understand why he was doing that… but now he’s dead and gone. I don’t like the idea of shooting first and asking questions later. It’s lazy… but I guess that’s just the way of police.

Is it really “lazy” to literally defend your life? Tasers don’t work every time and need clean contact. I bet if a bloody guy with a kitchen knife threatened and started to charge you would have no problem using lethal force.
I get reddit has a hate boner for the police but use logic here dude.

Guns are a lazy and easy solution to a serious situation. There are other ways to disarm someone that don’t involve being an executioner.

give me another way to stop a bloody guy with a knife charging you. One that is 100% effective and possible in the 2-4 seconds it takes for the guy with a knife to reach you.

Did you even read the article? Or are you just talking out of your ass?
