Yeah, that HUGE 3.5" knife... [:rolleyes:] I mean, really, shooting that guy was probably not necessary.
This nation is obsessed with non-lethal measures of incapacitating people. I am thinking there is a gizmo designed for just this occasion. Matt

Say huh? They sprayed him with pepper spray, which he wiped off - then kept waving the knife. There's a 21 foot rule with knives...perhaps you haven't heard of it. Police were completely within their rights and policies.
What, do you expect them to use their ubertactical elite crimefighting skills to wrestle the knife our of the fuckers hand? Not all cops carry tazers - in fact, most don't. There's only so much room on a belt for shit. After a radio, gun, magazine pouch or 2, handcuffs, pager, cell phone, OC spray, and baton..there's not a lot of room left.
Sorry, not their job.
