Bigwhoop.
I've done it. Knives and guns. Coulda killed on three different occasions and been legally justified. Didn't have to. Instinct and discretion.
These cops did what they did. They aren't heroes here. Maybe they have been. Maybe they will be. But here, they weren't.
That's just me.
I talked two out of knives myself. Bottom line is that cops are not trained to disarm with a baton or stick. The cops are not heroes here in the traditional sense. Some will always second guess their action. One may quit, one may start drinking, one may lose his family - there are no winners. It is what it is.
Problem is when people are quick to second guess when they have no clue.
