Which is stupid.

I've had bad experiences with police officers; many of my friends have had worse experiences with police officers. I'm far from a police apologist, but if you're charging at an officer, weapon in hand, actively trying to injure or kill them, I'm not going to blame the cop if you end up dead.

I could understand if it was a set of nail clippers, but we're talking about a machete here.
