specally when you get in that golden 21ft range ... they always told us stories for POW's that within 21 feet they can attack you with the knife before you can register whats happening in your brain then you have to make a choice on how to react.. then you have to then send that signal from brain to said body part.. trigger finger is closer than feet are....
these are just stories I have heard "horror stories to scare us" if you will... almost like the video every grunt watches of the man who holds his grenade to long... thats to scare the shit out of you and show you reality...
bottom line is you shoot em all and let god sort that shit out later.. you know that...
if he's crazy enough to charge a cop with a knife think what he might do to your wife and kids to get you to react to him .. if he's got a deathwish I say grant that motherfucker... im a genie in a bottle for those types of people... why the fuck should we have to pay for his mental health ... someone like that statistically is not going to ever be a "functioning person of society" they will be off their fucking rocker for life... it's shitty I know cause we all have that "crazy cousin" but fuck man... he charged a cop with a knife... you know why you and I are here typing on gfy right now rather than 6ft under?
cause we don't charge cops with knifes.....
if you and I were hanging out and a cop pulled up to the donut shot across the street.. and I was like watch this man im going to charge that cop with this hear kabar all alfred hitchcock psycho style see what happends?
what would you honestly say?
I know what I would say....
it would be these exact words..
"are you fucking crazy? he will shoot you to death you go ahead and do that if you got a deathwish"
do you agree?
you honestly think the cop was supoosed to step aside and go for the tazer? a knife in a crazy persons hands is considered a leathal weapon
just say it to your self like that
would you consider a knife in a "not right" persons hands a lethal weapon?
that go's for homicidal crazies and kids named steven crazy ... you don't give special ed kids knifes cause they are lethal to them and everyone around....
and no honestly I did not read the story I just read the debate and chimed in LOL......
hey im honest right?

That's a lot of questions..
If you surprise someone, yes in 20 feet you can for sure get them. But, not so much if you're fully in the ready - that would be a damn tough miss.
Just to note as well, 20 feet was a number I picked - this guy died in an open area, I only assumed the police were engaging him when he turned, so I picked 20 feet. I figured with multiple officers shooting, he had to be some what close, but I'm not really sure. It could have been 3 feet or 50.
I agree, if someone is attacking you - kill them dead. As well, if you attack a cop, you should expect to die.
They had already went for a taser, before he ran the first time - he had the knives then too.
It is the police's duty to protect all citizens, that includes protection from yourself too. That's if they knew he was off his rocker of course, but I really think asking the police to kill you is a huge warning sign.
I don't disagree with what they did, I just think they could have used different force, less force.. maybe given the guy a chance.
