So, they should just accept that they can be stabbed by a person with a supposed mental condition?

they would have been advised before going they were dealing with a person with mental health issues.

and they also have an option to take a step back and use a taser, but they wouldnt want to give up a chance to be heros and shoot someone

"Superintendent Michael Brady said the situation immediately turned violent and the officers opened fire after the 33-year-old suspect lunged at them with a knife." That's what the police have to deal with.

That would only matter if he had the knife held with his feet?

The other guy had prosthetic legs, which became detached when they tried to arrest him.

The absence of legs didn't stop the man from being a low life thief.

If he wasn't a thief resisting arrest this wouldn't have happened.

Each of the stories mentioned on this thread are about people who failed to co-operate with police.

Their own dick head behaviour changed their own lives.

I recognise inept behaviour when I see it.

Have you had a bad experience with the police donna?
