[size:23pt]...Stark made his way to the man�s location... officers are trained that they can use lethal force when they are within 21 to 25 feet of a person with a knife if the situation warrants...
The knife wielder (defending himself against a vicious attack) is nowhere near the police? No problem. Police just move in to within the "legal" limit and shoot him.
LE is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Were you there? No! Are you a police officer? If not, you have no business saying anything negative about their actions no matter what they do. STFU!!
Wait, did you just say that only police or people who were there should have an opinion on the cop shooting a guy who was out of range and stabbing his dog?
If so, you're an idiot.
Nope, not at all. Police successfully use that argument all the time. And really, the word of any civilians at the scene does not count either if it casts a negative light on officers/contradicts officers claims.
