So true. If I was in that situation, his ass would have been ventilated fo sho.

between risking to have him injure/kill an innocent person to save his sorry ass life and exterminating his threat with deadly force, i'd choose the 2nd one

But are they equipped with tasers as well?

no, tasers are not standard issue, they are optional, also like i said tasers are not as effective as deadly force in stopping a threat, so i could easily see someone sue the cops for using a taser on someone who ends up injuring killing a bystander because the taser didnt take him down.

 

[Salvo]

Yeah it is a hard one, I think they should be given the option though, as in make them standard issue.

they do have the option to have a taser and use it. but in a situation where you have someone brandishing a knife and clearly looking threatening i doubt any sane cop would use the taser.

There's a chance tasers won't get through clothing. They also can affect different people in different ways.

I would've shot that guy way before the cops did tbh. They seemed way too patient.

 

[Salvo]

This was more for other cases, I completely understand why he the cop did what he did in the above video.

Depends on the department. The US doesn't have a standard national police force. Every little town or municipality is different.

 

[Salvo]

Do you think changing that might be of use? Giving a sort of universal standard of training and equipment?

not possible, police is not a federal matter

 

[Salvo]

It isn't here either. There is state police and federal. But I am pretty sure our state police have universal training Etc. I could be wrong though.

Non-lethal weapons have surprisingly produced little end result for all the interest and investment.

 

[JuveJay]

Tasers also affect people differently.

 

[Hængebøffer]

But guns don't?

Fair enough.

The moral of the story is to not act in a manner that behooves someone to shoot you.

 

[Salvo]

Obviously, I was speaking more generally though.

Elite law students want their finals postponed because of grand jury decisions

What a bunch of sorry cocksuckers. That's it, I'm sold on the FEMA Camps, put these motherfuckers in them.

Well, people forget that Columbia U was a little like Berkeley East in the late 60s, even if the connection is a bit of a stretch here.

As the author correctly points out: "It is no secret that graduates of elite law schools, including Columbia, Harvard, Yale and Georgetown, often end up at large corporate law firms rather than working as prosecutors or public defenders.". - It's not as if this sort of thing is usually very high on their list of priorities.

And if it is, it would make more sense to get the law degree as soon as possible, so they're able to actually do something about the situation. Absurd and provocative.

Not quite as easy as it sounds. You don't know how others interpret your behaviour and how threatened they may feel.
