She is lucky to be alive.
She let him get WAY too close.
Another example that people don't drop on the first shot.
I bet the 70 something year old guy in the convenience store, wished he had kept his mouth shut.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Both notes are newsworthy, Randy.
sad it has come down to killing and hurting people over a mask .
Third the police overreacted to the no mask complaint.
The police were responding to a man being stabbed, not a mask complaint.
I can't get in the liquor store without a mask so I wear one there. I do get some dirty looks from some mask wearers in Lowes, and the grocery store.
If one of them, male or female, gives me any crap I will have a very smart * retort for them.
This 77 year old guy bitching out this young man for not having a mask was pretty stupid. Good Social Justice Warrior.
This female cop did a good job, lots of good hits and cleared the jam in record time.
Oh, wait, he was white so can't claim racism and get off scott free.
"She feared for her life", lol. Why didn't she shoot the knife out of his hand? Where was the social worker to talk him down? I couldn't even see a knife, it must be tiny. Then she shot him in cold blood while he was tying his shoe.
Where are the pictures of the perp at 12 years old at a chess club?
Sadly this is just the beginning of the pushback and deaths over people trying to force their will upon me and others. Again, I didn't see anybody wearing masks in the video.
The video would be better without the reporter talking during the encounter. Sounds like the officer fired several rounds before the gun jammed? Maybe a limp wrist due to the situation, officer was backing away firing and may not have had a good grip on the gun? No matter, officer cleared the malfunction and was able to stop the threat. I would say that guy was high on something, behavior is very odd and did not go down when shot at point blank range. Of course, stabbing another individual might be a clue that something was wrong with this guy.
You are kidding, right?
So if a fella's charging at you with a knife in his hands and you know he's just stabbed someone else you're not gonna be afraid? You think that's funny? I've read a lot of just plain ignorant comments on this forum over the years, but you may have just topped the list.
If it wasn't sarcasm then NeoBlackdog nailed it. Bob
Exactly.

That should make it pretty clear IF it was sarcasm and not just out and out ignorance.
Ladycop did a very good job. She got off 2 or 3 rounds and then, as previously stated, looks like a bit of a limp wrist; understandable given what she was facing. Where she shined however, was with the quick rap of the hand and quick cycle of the slide so she could put this miserable piece of crap out of our misery.
As to the nanny state ninny who wanted someone who was a virtually at no risk to wear a mask? It is none of his business. If he is that afraid of the magical Covid, he should stay home and stop bothering normal healthy people, or at least be a man, shut the hell up, and recognize that freedom is not subject to his whims or fears.

Yes I think the senior should have kept his opinion to himself but nothing he could have said warranted being stabbed. The dead perpetrator must have either been on drugs, mentally disturbed or both. Bad for the senior, bad for the officer, but I have a hard time feeling sorry for the knife wielding ***hole. Bob
It's rather interesting how on one side, the cops shooting the knife guy, most are OK with that. But knife guy defending himself against and assailant without a knife is not OK. What the hell is with the double standard? There isn't even a law that says the guy has to wear a mask. Not an enforceable one anyway. Yet some old fart who wishes to run the world starts crap with a guy who he probably don't know and may have been having a bad day anyway. I wasn't there. There are plenty of big old guys who can put a hurt on a smaller younger man.
It's rather easy to couch quarterback this, But where is the video of the initial argument that went bad? If old guy took the first swing, well, he got what he deserved. If not, so be it. You can ask why he ran, or why he charged the cops, but that is all after the fact, the universe was set in motion, and we don't know all the facts. Drugs, mental problems, old girlfriend or just plain ole fear? I don't know.
However, the part about bringing in a councilor or shooting the knife out of his hand, yes, sarcasm. About shooting him while he is bending over, that is a sticky point for the lawyers. I say he got what he deserved, yet the cops didn't appear to be too well trained to me. She feared for here life my *. She just has to say that (politics) or she should be kicked from the force, or get some real training.
I personally don't "fear for my life" when I have superior fire power. Just effin ridiculous. Just politics.
Could be interesting. I seen a guy get stabbed over a quarter on the pool table. Didn't see or care how it started. Standing on principle is the American way. If you let the camel get his nose under the tent, you will have a camel in your tent. If you let these bullies push you around, even if just a mask, you have opened the floodgates for more abuse. So yeah, if the old guy started it and got stabbed, he deserved it, just like the stabber meandering towards the cop who shot him. NO FRIGGIN DIFFERENCE.

No video of alleged confrontation of knifing, no blood from being shot, no muzzle flash, and the sheriff with his cautionary warning of wearing masks. Conveniently parks randomly on the street infront of a house camera. And I have never seen a solo cop show up to a police call like this.
Now I have to play devils advocate on this. Demonizing a white guy, showing how dangerous we are, with a screwdriver and pig sticker, never really going for the kill. I guarantee if he wanted that cop, he most surely could have, so why not? The plot thickens.
I assure you, this draconian mask infringement is only the start. And you say he got shot for knifing a guy in the store. Show me the proof. And at the end, the cop says it is about a mask, so yes, this production was about wearing a mask, for your panic porn entertainment.
I'm sorry this just doesn't pass the test.
But yeah, when they come a knocking on your door to confiscate your firearms "for public safety", come cry to me how the mask saved you from the common cold.
