https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cX5CPx4RKWwEu have tactics on disarming armed men, Should America take notes on this?
Actually no we shouldn't take notes. The article even says the knife wielding man represented a real and deadly threat. Can you guarantee every take down would be as smooth as this? Can you guarantee it wouldn't ever result in the loss of life of a cop? If you can do that then sure I will get out my notepad and take awesome notes.
If you can't guarantee that? Then no. It's not worth an innocent person risking their life just to protect a deadly criminal.
Oh and from the article:
"How many mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters would still have their families if American police acted more like police in the UK?"
Lol please, how many mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters would still have their families if their family members hadn't decided to be piece of shit criminals? Why does nobody ever say that? These people wouldn't be dead if they didn't become criminals. Their own life choices lead to their deaths.
Cops are not soldiers, it is actually not their job to risk life and limb just to take a criminal in without any injury. Their job is to serve and protect, but not at the expense of their own lives. Some people tend to forget that. So nah, I definitely wouldn't want to a risk a stabbing just so I can take some low life to prison safe and sound. Me>>>>low life criminals.
But hey to go back to the "these people would still have their family members if cops did this". Well okay, so what about the family members of the cop who is killed because he tried to safely disarm a nutjob wielding a knife and trying to stab him. What would you say to that? "Oh well at least he made the effort to take him in safely". You could make that the cops epitaph. "He died, but the low life criminal lived and now enjoys 3 meals a day and a roof over his head all on the tax payers dime, justice was served".
