My point is, don't even take a chance. When a guy is 10 feet from you with a knife, he can be ON you in less than a second. You do not tase a guy like that, you end the threat.

If you were talking about an active warzone, you'd have a point. But if you're going to assume that anyone who's angry and within 10 feet of you is the kind of threat that may need to be "ended," you should stop being a cop and let someone with stronger nerves take your spot.

See, that's the mentality I'm talking about. Read the article before you pipe up. The safest distance that an Officer can be at and still be able to properly engage in conversation is 21 feet. You speak but you don't know, you've never been there and that's the bottom line. You all say, "well they can", or "well I could", or "they could have". YOU WERE NOT THERE. What's the story behind the guy with the knife? If you don't use deadly force then he will damned sure use it on you. Don't gamble with your life.

Samantha, if you worked in the facility that you stated that you did, you understand that some people just can't be talked down. Add this to a mental health recipe:

Drugs
Recent emotional trauma
alcohol

These people are not thinking rationally and will act similarly. The last people that they want to see are the Cops. Not to mention all of the ramshackle bullshit that the media likes to spread about Cops. We are in a fishbowl and Society is our keeper, as it should be. But remember, it's our lives out there, not yours. Instead of Monday morning quarterbacking everything, request a ride along with your local Department and see what one Cop goes through during his shift. After that, do some research on line of duty deaths and what prompted them. Once this is done, form an opinion. George Zimmerman would agree with by telling you that your mind will be changed drastically. Both George and I guarantee it.
