Big Knives Against Deputy's Pistol

Guess who won.

L.W.

I'll bet that really pissed off the Los Angeles District Attorney's office. Now they can't charge the nice fellow with a simple misdemeanor and request a 57 cent bond.

That time. It was fortunate there were more than one officer at hand as that adds (hopefully) to the hits put on the attacker. Handguns suck for defense and the more hits one can quickly get on target, the better the odds of stopping the attack. Especially when the attacker is not in their right mind.

Offhand, I can think of 5 LEOs I know that have had to fire upon someone wielding an edged weapon, one had to do it on two different occasions. One of those times was a teenager with a sword longer than the one in the video. Two of the officers were cut badly enough to end up in the hospital. One spend nearly a month and had several surgeries. Knives are not something to take lightly.

The dude found out.

I cannot imagine why LE didn't break out their patrol rifles for this situation.

Some really really low IQ people in the world...

Oh well...

He must not have been a movie fan.

FAFO.

Nice work, one less a$$hole to worry about.

Cop tased a guy in a lethal force situation...hmmmm

As it should be... If this were the standard response to violent criminal activity, the problem would resolve itself in very short order...

I would have shot that big crazy dude in the face. One round in the right place is all it would take, but you are right about not wanting him to reach you on the charge.

What is the prk.gov's position on armed serfs running around enabling them to respond when they are the intended victim of violent criminal activity?

Cleveland got a job at channel 7.

That said - interesting, seemed like the officer had some form of red dot?

He won't do that again.

9mm....

I hate when they stop it just before the money shot. One less azzhole. Good night and good riddance.

Non censored video. Skip ahead to 9:40.

Should have just shot him right off the bat.

Not good odds of that in California unless you are le, .gov there doesn't like armed subjects.

50’ is about all the buffer I’ll give on a blade. Come at me from there and it will briefly sound like a C130 with the mini blazing. Can’t tolerate a blade. Makes my skin crawl

Cops will likely mag dump regardless of cartridge used. Give them 10mm - they're going to slide lock.

True, and with civilians they will nitpick each and every shot: "Was that shot necessary? What about that one? What about that one?"

You mean civilians viewing the system(which is comprised of civilians also) in the same way the system typically views armed civilians?
