re: #216 Timothy Watson

So…what, you’re going to allow a guy who’s armed with a knife to close to hand-to-hand combat range just to disarm him?

Depends on the situation. What I do expect is for police officers to be trained well enough not to panic at the sight of a knife. I expect them to try to defuse a situation when dealing with a mentally ill person who is saying “Shoot me now” before filling the guy with lead within seconds of contact. There was no such attempt.
