Thank heavens we have plenty of dogooders to save us from ourselves! Although, in theory I can get behind this as I hate cigarette smoke, vape, and the smell of MJ, all of which I was inundated with at the lighting on the Circle Friday evening.
Didn’t they link the deaths from vaping to cheap ass Chinese stuff that had some kind of chemical that wasn’t supposed to be done there?
Police Chief Says Cops Shouldn't Draw Guns On Suspects With Knives
How in hell did this guy get to be a cop, much less the chief?

What? Oh no! Not microwave popcorn!The latest report says the bad stuff is vitamin E oil that is in the flavored vape modules (as well as the THC kits) and in microwave popcorn.

I guess he was never TAUGHT the 21 foot rule in his law enforcement training.
Maybe he needs to practice what he preaches in some simulated exercises to see if his point of view holds up after he's simulated dying from a knife wound time after time.
If a person is standing off against me holding a knife, my spidey sense is telling me he's not there for dance lessons, nor is he auditioning for the 2020 release of West Side Story as one of the Jets or Sharks.
In that case, the age old adage of "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight rings oh so true.
If the person with a knife can be kept beyond 21', isn't that a different story*? If there isn't a lethal threat, why employ lethal force?
*I am not suggesting that the knife-wielder gets to run around and "oops, we need to keep him away from us so we don't give him what he wants" situation
The 21ft rule is utter BS. Tueller never intended his study to be used as a rule. You can actually get much closer to a threat than 21ft. Get off the frigg'n X. I attended a training class where we tested this "rule". One was the bad guy with a training knife and the other was the officer. The officer was armed with a Simunition gun and the bad guy would lunge at the officer and see if the officer can draw and fire on the attacker. The key was to MOVE laterally while drawing/firing. I think we were able to get the distance down to 6 ft or so before moving didn't make much difference. If you just stand there looking at your attacker like a dingus, then yeah, 21ft is what you will need. https://www.itstactical.com/warcom/...myth-why-the-21-foot-rule-isnt-a-rule-at-all/
