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.
This is precisely why I’m not a big fan of police. Cop shows a ton of restraint while Lizzo here slashes at him. Meanwhile cops enforced bullshit Covid ordinances with maximum gusto. Not even Covid-related, but fuck, a cop once pulled me over and berated me, with my infant child in the car, because I didn’t let him butt his way into traffic on a busy street where I very clearly and obviously had right of way. Asshole knew he couldn’t ticket me, because I didn’t break any traffic laws, but it didn’t stop him from being a belligerent, power-drunk asshole.
My policy is to stay as far as possible away from both cops and jogging enthusiasts at this point. If they want to fight, they can. Just leave me the fuck out of it.
