Police can't shoot people trying to kill them anymore

It took 20-25 police to restrain 1 guy with a machete in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mzPj_IaMzY. There were 2 on the scene in this situation. This isn't a movie. Disarming people like Jason Statham or Jackie Chan do isn't real life.

"And hasn't a cop ever raped your daughter and gotten away with it?"

I think you might want to talk to a mental health professional.

“Why not aim for a knee?”

Lmfao! Ok vegetable Joe.

Do we REALLY need more mentally ill people running about? We already got rid of mental asylums so there is no place for them to go except in the open world where they're free to do mentally ill things like random acts of violence with failed parental guidance.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to shoot a moving target in the knee? Not to mention you have to deal with things like recoil and stress. The OP is right cops have two choices: Allow the suspect to kill them or another innocent person or be villified and have their name dragged through the mud by a biased and anti police media

WOW.

I hope your post is in jest because it shows an EXTREME lack of knowledge.

MOST people shot and killed by police each year ARE white: https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/

How do you know that? Are you able to bend time and space and utilized fourth dimensional technology to create an alternate universe where everything is the same except his skin color?

"They could have shot him in the knee and he would have went down."

What you are calling for, but will never admit, is police reform. Police are taught to only draw their weapons to kill. Never to injure.

In order to stop someone without killing them, non-lethal devices such as tasers are required, but there's not enough of them.

So we either give every cop non-lethal defense, or we train them to use their guns non-lethally in certain situations.

Either way, it's police reform.

The word unjustified doesn't mean what you think it does.

My ultimate question is, don't cops usually taze first before shooting if they can do so? Not sure if Pennsylvania cops carry them or not but you'd think it'd be universal to NOT carry one. Dominant hand with the gun near trigger at 45 degree pointed downward supporting the non-dominate hand with the tazer. After the tazer shot and he's still non-fazed and still charging, then shoot imo.

No, I WON'T "take away" the knife and aggression. I will look at this case for exactly what it is and Wallace was armed and approaching police.

Point taken!

Right, inferior people need to be destroyed!

I'm sorry you missed the Nazi party regime - you would have had a blast!

I suppose you are correct. I don’t have firearm experience, but I was grasping at straws. So what is the answer? What do the cops do to not escalate the problem? It just seems there’s no end to these situations. Most of those killed are criminals, but people forget about that part. All they see is “another black man killed”. No one riots when two officers are executed, or when an arsehole throws a fire stick into a squad car while an officer is inside. Truth be told percentage wise of population, Blacks commit most of the crimes even though more Whites are on Welfare and receiving foodstamps.

It’s easy to Monday morning quarterback. Sigh...🤷🏼‍♀️

Exactly and by attempting to "shoot them in the knee" that definitely increases the risk of an innocent bystander being shot instead.

Also, point taken! In the far left’s eyes the cops are the perps and the criminal Black man is the victim. It doesn’t matter if the guy has a mile long rap sheet, George Floyd, all of that is put aside! He became the victim when the cop put a knee on his neck. Floyd had networks covering his funeral and was interred in a $40,000 gold plated casket!

And that's a good thing. Replace them with smart people who don't see their gun as their first and only tool.
And get rid of police unions, too, since all the other unions in the country are being dismantled.
