I would never kill a weakened and desperate human being for acting as such.
Most people who've never been in such situations would probably say that.
Here's what wounds from a box-cutter look like (image is graphic)- that's a box cutter, not something specifically intended to be used as a weapon, like a knife.
When someone wielding a weapon with the capability of doing that type of damage charges you, falling back on your taser and "1337" billy club martial arts isn't just pointless bravado, it's stupid and will probably result in you getting seriously injured if not killed for no reason.
In the specific situation linked in this thread, I think the police should have tried to use their tazers, yeah. But on the other hand I think that when met with deadly force police shouldn't be expected to try to be the "bigger man"- they have a right to protect themselves in the most reasonably effective way possible.
When tazers become semi-automatic/fully-automatic, then I'll endorse using them against everything up to a gun. Otherwise, I think the use of deadly force in response to deadly force is perfectly reasonable, if not always necessary.

Those things will knock you on your ass, they take off the paint on cars.
Hell ya, just roll out a pair of these puppies and everyone runs home.

The use of deadly force when being threatened with deadly force is generally not the issue people have though. Rather it is the perception that a) deadly force is used far too casually by police officers (particularly when it comes to black people being shot) and b) that they get away without significant repercussions when they use deadly force in inappropriate situations.

If you continue to post this nonsense I'll call the police and they'll shoot you 😈

In both of these scenarios I think the Officer had an opportunity to use non-lethal force. It was a split second decision, granted, but Officer's spend a lot of time at the shooting range. A knee cap shot is not out of the question. Mike could be in a hospital with a shot out knee and shattered thigh facing a felony assault of an Officer charge, or possibly a pending civil suit against the Police Department for Officer Misconduct, but either way, he'd be alive.
Law Enforcement trains specifically to NOT take non-lethal shots. They actually train specifically to kill someone before they get too close during a violent situation.
A knee-cap shot is not what they train for.
This is part of why I am thinking that the "warning" shots that were fired show that Wilson ****ed up a bit in this encounter.

exactly. center mass is generally taught. trying to shoot to dehabilitate can lead to death or injury to the public

The use of deadly force in response to deadly force was the issue being held in the post I was responding to. Your dissonance is showing, my son.
Originally posted by OnenessI don't think the corpse really cared.
They still didn't have to shoot him 5 more ****ing times after he'd hit the ground from the first shot.

Total badass, takes the bean-bags and tear gas. Water seems to be his weakness though.
