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.
Literally an irresponsible amount of restraint which suggests he isn't fit to stay on patrol without retraining.
He was well within his right to shoot her the moment she opened the door. He chose to wait, which was generous. However, once he backed into a corner, he crossed the line from extreme restraint, to reckless restraint.
Seeing how often cops get demonized just for defending themselves, it seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.
It is, which is why I tend to pully my punches against police. They are actively being attacked by the political left as a mechanism to gain control of them.
All you have to do is look to CHAZ to see what they would replace the police with.
Armed militant lynchmobs that would not stop drug dealers, but would gun you down in a fusillade of gunfire if you looked like someone they were afraid of, then they'd either kill you or just lecture you about how you deserve to be shot, then remove all physical evidence of the crime scene so no one could be persecuted. They also cut people off in their homes and businesses, routinely harassed the general public, attacked random people in the street, and harassed people for wearing pins they didn't like; then threatened anyone who complained.
I don't like the concept of police as an institution, but it doesn't mean I can't see what's going on. If we did get rid of the police, these lynchers would literally beat you to death with hammers and tie your corpse to the back of a pick-up truck and drag your body around like ISIS.
Afterall, these same people crying about police brutality were in 100% support of Hamas gunning down unarmed civilians and families in the street without warning.
