With the news over in Bakhmut, I read that underequipped Wagner forces were doing drugs to attack even after getting shot a million times, making them turn into zombies. And that got me thinking. If a police officer had their gun drawn, and the attacker had a ball bat say for instance, while it should be obvious that the cop will win 99% of the time
However let's say the suspect is drugged (like Captagon, adrenalin injectibles or Tilidine even) anddon't feel pain or go into shock immediately, then a knife can become a serious threat to a law enforcement officer because what drugs can do is delay the person’s physiological and psychological response to being shot. It prevents or delays the onset of shock. So the person can remain at least semi-functional for a time. And as the attacker closes in, it's gonna get pretty ugly, even if the cop has backup or reinforcements, given the dedication of the criminal (except for maybe heart or headshots).
Do you think this scenario is credibpe and needs to be studied more? It's sorta like when people get doped up and won't feel a taser or pepper spray. This is how Wagner was fighting over in Bakhmut, to which Stalin's troops would never would retreat without being killed so they had used chairs and the like to attack people armed with guns during WW2. Si this has definitelt been d one before.
But concerning police, how much of a threat this is?
