Ever wonder why cops shoot people armed with knives, broken bottles, glass shards,, etc?? If an experienced knife fighter gets in close,, you may not have the opportunity to use the handgun before he can do damage.
Remember the 21 foot rule??
Well, don’t forget the “Ego Rule”…….
These photos are of an officer trained in hand-to-hand combat.
The officer figured that due to his size and fighting skills, he could disarm a knife wielding aggressor.
To all the idiots out there who always say, “Why did the cops have to shoot him? He only had a (insert your choice of weapons here, I.e. Knife, bat, club, whatever). He didn’t have to be shot.
If an officer tells you to drop your weapon, just drop it.
If you’re a retard, stupid, on crack, mental or just “scared”… Too bad. No one deserves what this cop got for just doing his job.
This is vivid proof of how deadly people who are “only armed with a knife”
can be. Some of the public think that officers should try to disarm someone armed with a knife but anyone who has had training in knife fighting will tell you – even if you win you are going to get cut. Keep this in the back of your mind when confronting someone armed with an edged weapon.
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.
THIS IS WHY I AM ARMED.

What’s your point’ Winston? Are you saying that all the stupid people who question these things are wrong every time? Are you saying there are no unlawful police shootings? Are you saying lethal force is always justified when a cop says put down the weapon, always?
While the pictures aren’t showing up here, I’ve seen them before.
Mikeb302000, if you had actually read the post, you would understand.
This is about people defending their lives against those without a gun.
The pictures are very graphic — very deep and life threatening cuts. On a cop who was probably wearing a vest (some protection against cuts ) and was trained in hand to hand combat — especially subduing a suspect.
He was cut up very badly.
Your stated goal is to reduce the number of firearms available to the law abiding citizens — in the vain hope of keeping criminals from getting guns — and these pictures show that a criminal doesn’t need a gun to be a threat.
Your stated goal is to make those types of injuries or worse more common because the average person will lack the means of defending against knives effectively.
By the way, why did you illegally own firearms if it wasn’t for protection?
I agree with the article. Why should the police try to disarm an assailant and put his/her life in danger? The police have a right to defend themselves at all costs just like anyone else. If you are armed and the cops say “drop your weapon!” do it or expect to get shot more than once. The end.
