We're the Only Ones Punchy Enough

Man on life support after Minneapolis cop punches him for ‘talking loud’ [More]
And then our sucker-punching Hero of the Fatherland fled the scene.

File this one under "proof that an assailant doesn't have to be 'armed' to justify using deadly force to repel him." Assuming you get the chance.  There is absolutely nothing morally wrong with using a gun on someone intent on beating you up with his fists, because we see what a good shot to the head can do.

Any doubt that had there been time to do so, and circumstances appropriate to ordering the attacker to freeze, that snout boy would have pulled a badge on him and then his own gun?  And had he then claimed his victim made a move and shot him, is there any doubt it would have been ruled justified?

Oh, gosh - ya mean - a punch can actually HURT someone?

Maybe folks who rush to judgment about a "White Hispanic" defending himself against feet and fists with a gun should check out this story.

Story noted in the comments; looks like this clown really helped make their SWAT teams a real effing credit to LE.

What, no pictures of the hitter at twelve years of age wearing a hoodie?

What, no claims by any political office holders that if they had a son, he would look like this Minneapolis cop?
