Move of desperation. Maybe he thought he could get a cop hostage? Not a wise idea.

Posted by kanadianiceman on Jun-06-2005 00:58:

im sure one shot to the knee would of been sufficient.

maybe a little darwinism also....

agreed..

or a taser gun

Yet another case of power abuse Fuckin cops who thinks they have rights on every human being's life

oh come on power abuse?? you think at that heated moment they all said to him to put the knife down they arnt gonna sit there and discuss who will shot and when, at that point a cops life is priority at that circumstance. Now if one cop shot him in the leg or tazed him being that he could be on drugs or what not and for some reason he still got to cop and stabbed him before he was shot again. Now ur left with a dead cop which could of been prevented. Face it folks the guy had sufficiant amount of time to say ok drop the knife or ill be shot, yet he charged the cops with the knife there actions were justified. Many people love to bash what cops do and there intentions but yet i can guarentee every single one of you wouldnt hesitate to call them for help when your in a time of need. Just my opinion.

I'm with kurve. Although this is a humor funny stuff forum I didn't see you attacking any the other post expressing their opinions. Need to relax on the "BAN HIM" twitch you seem to have when people post an intelligent well thought out response/opinion.

well the guy acted stupid, but still he deserved jailed, not death. police officers are training in those situations to "Neutralize" suspects and there are many technologies they can use..My father is a retired cop so I know the drill. If that fails there was still the aforementionned solution of shooting him in the leg or something..

The guy was propably not totally conscient of what he was doing to act that wrecklessly so to me thats not a reason to shoot him dead..

Bullshit. There was no time to "neutralize" the suspect. He was charging them with a knife. In order to neutralize him they would have needed to use a tazer or pepper spray. I doubt they even had a tazer within reach, and pepper spray would hardly slow him. Shooting for the leg is a difficult shot and also doesn't guarantee putting down your suspect.

The cops did exactly what they were trained to do, and acted in all legality. End of discussion.

These people are ALL so uptight.

Dayum. Shotgun blast at point blank range.

He deserved what he got.. sorry. You don't charge a group of cops with a knife and expect to be treated lightly.

Posted by Tygon on Jun-14-2005 19:50:

Damn some of you guys make cops out to be some murderous, hate-driven, violence hungry animals just LOOKING for the opportunity to kill another human being... gimme a fucking break... they did exactly what they needed to do to stop a situation that threatened FAR too many innocent lives...

Posted by DjRonskiSpeed on Jul-03-2005 19:46:

Agreed

Posted by Falcon-X on Jul-04-2005 14:54:

hmmm he was pretty far from the cops... this was completely abusive

and those last shots when hes already on the floor... WTF were they expecting him to stand up and kill them?

Posted by Dmatrox on Jul-04-2005 16:32:

Pretty far from the cops? I suppose they should have waited for him to get close enough to stab them before shooting? Idiot.

And as for the extra shots - officers are trained to shoot more than once to ensure their target is stopped. Simple protocol.

Exactly.

And what's to say that the guy won't try and throw the knife at one of the cops if he doesn't go down from one or two shots?

Being that video is from where I'm from I've seen it around more on the news and such...

cops were in the right....dead was dead wrong...

its a weapon, and they were defending them selves....you tell me if you had a guy with a weapon after a high speed prusit that would go, that you would be able to think about tazing him, pr using your pepper spray.

Its funny how some are so judgemental of cops when something like this happens. But when something bad happens, who do they call?....the cops...

next time you're in trouble don't call 911, just deal with it on your own....since some of you critics seem to know so much more on how to handle extrem situations.

I never get to see this stuff on tv.

Ok, none of you seem to know how deadly a knife is. I am an Army MP. We watched this video in our officer safty class. If someone pulls a knife within 21 feet of me and charges me, i do not have the reaction time to pull my m9 pistol and fire at him before he sticks me. Granted, the troopers had an advantage - their weapons were drawn and at condition red (round chambered, safety off), but still. That could have been VERY bad if they didnt drop the guy.

Whoever mentioned protocol on the extra shots? DAMN SKIPPY. Especially with a weak 9mm (like the berettas we use), you often need 2 or 3 shots to stop the assailant.
