Philadelphia cops release footage of the moment knife-wielding Walter Wallace Jr. rushed at two cops during 'mental health episode' before being shot dead - sparking riots [More]Let's review the bidding:
Survival tip: If an officer orders you to put down a knife and you want to live, either be closer than 21 feet or listen to the man. If he's already drawn down on you, adjust for reality. You can't get a "social justice" law firm to sue over real or perceived rights violations during a police encounter if you're not around to pursue them.
True, you can't expect a person having a psychotic episode to behave rationally, which may explain why that appeal won't work on those looking for any excuse to loot and destroy under mob protection, but it might be helpful to find an approachable "community leader," put him through a Tueller simulation and have him spread the word.

ReplyDeleteIt was midway in my career when I saw it. There is at least one mope who was very close with a knife out and I did not have my revolver out.
God intervened and he turned the knife over to me. He could have stuck me good. It was a BIG knife.
