I'm no big fan of police, but this was yet another instance of the cop showing a massive amount of restraint. Too much, in fact.
It's really frustrating when even behaving in an overly restrained fashion, and getting stabbed in the face for your trouble, still isn't enough to avoid the "racist murderer" label.
Only thing the officer did wrong was not shoot her(?) sooner. And I don't say that because I want people to die, I say that because she was coming at him with a knife. You put yourself in a position where other people have to defend themselves from you...that's on you. She chose to behave in a way that turned her into a person in need of shooting.
"Yeah, but why didn't the cop just shoot the knife/legs?" - actual retard
"It was the cop's fault for coming up to the door with a gun drawn, all threateningly like that."
"He could have tried de-escalating the situation first!"
"He should have used his taser or baton!"
"de-escalate" has pretty much always meant "let the subhumans murder you."
de-escalation only works when the person you're talking to is at least somewhat receptive. immediately opening the door and swinging a knife is not being receptive, so of course de-escalation goes out the window.
Leftists all think that their enemies have a moral obligation to stand still and let themselves be killed by their superiors (schizo black guys, methed out junkies, bipolar trans folx, any non-white person in general, etc). The worst ones tell you this openly, the slightly smarter ones hide it.
There's a slightly less retarded question they could ask: where was this officer's backup/partner? If the officers in this department are trained to be this hesitant to use lethal force, it might have been worth having backup to at least attempt a tazer or something else before shooting. If nothing else, they might be needed in case the first officer goes down.
heck, I was under the impression that cops almost always operate in pairs for safety. why was this one alone?
There was a mental health checkup that said 'they'em' were agitated so they sent this cop to check in person.
edit: WaPo mistakenly told me the cop was trained in social work so went by himself, but current article says his partner was just busy.
Retarded hypothetical.
Yes.
It's a ridiculous expectation for cops to place the safety of aggressors above their own. Asking for a partner to be in position for assistance is just a little wiser than the aforementioned common cries 'just shoot at non-vital body parts, bruh.'
“Why didn’t the cop just shoot the knife out of her hand” - some shit a dumbass Redditor said to me once and got a shit ton of upvotes.
I know they don’t understand firearms, but to think everyone should just be Clint Eastwood and make pinpoint accurate shots has to be the most retarded thing I’ve seen in a while
Not to mention they're in a narrow hallway of thin walls and other apartments. Gotta shoot center mass to make sure her neanderthal body has a good chance of keeping those bullets she earned.
The closest they've ever been to a gun is a video game with aim assist, so of course they don't know the first thing about firearms. I've seen first-hand how those retards behave when you actually give them a gun, if they don't cuck out or run away screaming.
Hollyweird shootouts: laser precision, no over penetration, no bystanders hit. Reality: cop shootouts have a accuracy rate of about 20-25%. That's not the bullet hit exactly where it was intended to go, but the bullet hit the target it was aimed at, somewhere on the target. Hell, the NYPD has had at least two shootouts in elevators over the years where no one got hit.
Do the NYPD still use ball ammo, or did they join the 21st century and use hollow points like everyone else?
Apparently they now use Speer Gold Dots.
besides the obvious impracticality, shooting the legs is more likely to be lethal than center mass because of major arteries
We're dealing with dipshits that think shooting anywhere that isn't the heart or brain is completely nonlethal. The bad guy will just crumple in pain because everyone is just as bitchmade as them, and definitely not insane and/or tweaked out on methamphetamines.
