Do not attack a LEO with anything. I would have shot the man if I could not have tipped his wheelchair over to avoid the conflict

Do not attack a anyone with anything. I would have shot the man if I could not have tipped his wheelchair over to avoid the conflict

FIFY
the weapons we all carry are defensive. If you attach anyone with anything, you should be thrilled if you don't die. Keep your D&&m hands to yourself.

Was within inches to a foot according to the article. How close should the bad guy be before the police are forced to respond to aggressive actions? Because he is in a wheel chair he is harmless or something? So, a mentally disturbed person is yelling and threatening others, the police are called, because the home he is in cannot deal with him, what should the police have done? Taken him out for Blizzards and sundaes?

It's a shame that they don't train police officers in non-lethal means of protecting themselves. Budget cuts are probably to blame.

WTF are tasers and pepper spray and collapsible batons and hand-to-hand tactics?

 

[jsharmon7]

All I know is that I sure don't want a highly agitated individual with a history of mental illness backing me into a tight corner while threatening me and attempting to stab me with an unidentified metal object.

If you are alone, you dont use non lethal in that situation. Usually when deploying non lethals, they have someone backing them up with real firearms, in case. Also, if someone is threatening you with deadly force, you respond with deadly force.

Im sorry but I cant see this being justified.

A cripled person in a wheelchair with a pen?

I guess you had to be there.

Hindsight is great. I also don't see an issue here.

The actual weapon is irrelevant. He was trying to stab someone. Why should the officer put himself in greater risk of injury to try and disarm the guy? I know I wouldn't.

I think we should Ban this guy.



Just another case of the media trying to make the police look bad.

Nah, just use his posts as backstops for penetrating and/or cutting responses...

I think the Houston cop did that all on his own.

You do realize that their citizenry is without firearms as well, right?

 

[cobber]

Maybe we should also follow the British example of having a King?

Why the dickens did we fight that darn revolution if the Brits are so much wiser than we?

 

[Wreaver]

"Fearing for his partner's safety and his own safety, he discharged his weapon,"

2 men couldn't take control of a ONE armed ONE legged individual in a wheelchair without shooting him? Poor career choices.

Only the law-abiding

 

[theweakerbrother]

Step 1. Lock wheels on wheel chair.

Step 2. Step away.

Step 3. Call Fire Department.

Step 4. Hose man until he complies to stop or drowns.

Is that better? Someone deputize me! I'd make a great officer.

Oh, man, Condition Brown and expecting rain.

I think the appearance of the pen would matter.
