Police Officer Safety

I am in support of all law enforcement defending themselves. They are not there to be murdered in the performance of their duty. 

Police had every right to defend themselves Don't be ignorant enough to challenge Police. Follow commands 101. It seems some have a hard time doing that. Eye roll...

Officer presence-verbal direction-soft empty hand-hard empty hand-intermediate weapons-Deadly force. Your right people don’t understand use of force and don’t know law enforcement meet force with force and when one thing doesn’t work you move on to another. A sharp pointed stake is considered a deadly weapon and will be met with the use of deadly force if the officer chooses. They tried verbal direction and intermediate weapons to no avail, deadly force was used for the protection of the officers life and safety of his coworkers. Justified all day long!  

Have you ever tried to shoot a moving arm or leg? Especially in a high stress situation with a non-compliant individual? I haven’t. But sometimes a stationary object is hard enough to hit. A moving extremity would be near impossible. Surely, you’ve played games like “whack-a-mole” as a kid and know how hard that can be with a mallet and the moving object a foot away. Now think about trying with an object smaller than a dime moving at a quarter mile per second, hitting something 10 feet away or more. And they tried non-lethal options - that did not work. 

If you can do better than our Police Officers.
