    Did you watch the video? Remember: each and every blow the kid lands with that weapon has the possibility of permanently maiming, disfiguring, or killing the officer.

    Watching the video, the officer was able to draw his gun, but was not able to get it on target before the kid was within striking distance, and swinging his weapon at the officer’s head or upper body. The video ends before we see who actually fired the shots.

      That’s the risk of being in a job that isn’t even in the top 20 most dangerous jobs in America.

      As you were told elsewhere, soldiers in war zones wouldn’t act this way and their job is far more dangerous.

      You’re just encouraging police cowardice. Not that it needs to be encouraged.

        Gotcha.

        It is “cowardice” to take effective steps to stop an attacker from jamming a garden hoe in your neck.

        Understood.

          it is cowardice to conclude lethal force is the only option here.

          So there are no possible effective steps that could have been taken without murdering the boy?

          Amazing cops aren’t murdered constantly in Europe.
