I think the point that some people are trying to make which is not really being heard is that yes, in Canada (or the US) with the current state of policing, running at a cop with a knife will get you shot. That’s pretty much a fact. The problem is that fact, because that is not the case in other countries (like the U.K.) and it doesn’t NEED to be the case here.

People act like it’s the only option because cops here are trained for that to be THE option. It shouldn’t. It shouldn’t even be in the deck of cards. That’s the point.
