"Yeah, what about tazers and pepper spray."protocol for encounter with a knife man is to immediately drop everything, your tazer, your pepper, all that, and go for the gun.
there's no alternative to that and it's a reasonable protocol. knife a deadly weapon, if the knife man closes in under a certain distance the cop has no alternative but to shoot to stop. which is lethal in most cases.nobody can possibly know at this point if the cops did everything right, or fucked up slightly, or perhaps fucked up badly, criminally. so your ideas about proper law enforcement are completely inappropriate.
and monospaced, you seem to be under the impression that shots to the leg cannot be lethal. you are wrong about that, it is not so.

- fair enough, just thought it might make sense to pop him in the knee instead of the chest/head, y'know?monospaced
- I never said they couln't be lethal, just that going for the guaranteed kill seems... I dunno, excessive?monospaced
- how do you know where they shot him, in this case?imagineallthepeople
- how do you know what they aimed for?imagineallthepeople
- I don't. But he's dead, which sucks because I feel there might have been an alternative.monospaced
- he was there. HE WAS THERE.2002
- I agree with monoset
- drake, you too?2002
- I too think they should have tried to immobilise him rather than shoot to kill. Yes.set
- heheyurimon
- They don't shoot the leg because too much opportunity to miss. Police 101. Shoot at the largest mass.mg33
- sorry no. the response to a deadly weapon should be an effective weapon, not another deadly weapon.cannonball1978
- Yeah, multiple shots. That murder. Immobilize coulda shot him in the nuts.fyoucher1

- actually its not legal in the sense of how the weapon is held. if anyone reports them as threatning they are toast..yurimon
- weapon must be carried on back preferable barrel downyurimon
- Yeah I get that, but the fact that someone can walk around with a gun on their back and be dealt with calmsem
- As apposed to someone with a small palm sized knife being shot several times to kill.sem

Rubber bullets could have hurt him good without killing him

Without making any excuses for anyone or any particular recent tragedy, but...
Cops make the most money with overtime. Is their an epidemic of overly worked, overly stressed, and under trained cops that result in these poor decisions by some individuals?
Really, all western society is over worked and over stressed, but the average person doesn;t get into the situations cops do.

^^ I dont understand why they're shooting 9 times ???
The guy had a little knife, not a gun. Shoot him once then back off a little, the guy will surely collapse after one shot.

How Dangerous is Police Work
http://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2…- - -
Daniel J. Bier goes over the statistics. He finds that, “In 2013, out of 900,000 sworn officers, just 100 died from a job-related injury. That’s about 11.1 per 100,000, or a rate of 0.001% 0.01%”:Policing doesn’t even make it into the top 10 most dangerous American professions. Logging has a fatality rate 11 times higher, at 127.8 per 100,000. Fishing: 117 per 100,000. Pilot/flight engineer: 53.4 per 100,000. It’s twice as dangerous to be a truck driver as a cop—at 22.1 per 100,000.
Another point to bear in mind is that not all officer fatalities are homicides. Out of the 100 deaths in 2013, 31 were shot, 11 were struck by a vehicle, 2 were stabbed, and 1 died in a “bomb-related incident.” Other causes of death were: aircraft accident (1), automobile accident (28), motorcycle accident (4), falling (6), drowning (2), electrocution (1), and job-related illness (13).
Even assuming that half these deaths were homicides, policing would have a murder rate of 5.55 per 100,000, comparable to the average murder rate of U.S. cities: 5.6 per 100,000. It’s more dangerous to live in Baltimore (35.01 murders per 100,000 residents) than to be a cop in 2014.
