I could find you a similar picture of a cop here rendering aid.
I get it. You guys have a narrative. Push it all you want. It is a message board. I just find it funny that you cherry pick stats and videos and use the "in my experience" line to support your argument without actually knowing much of anything.
We literally know nothing about the case - very little has been released. Yet it's the same people spouting off as if they have some insider information. Posting videos of UK cops swarming a knife wielding assailant like thats an option form NA police. At one point, watching police get attacked by a kniofe wielding man, one of you yes, "oh it just scratched him on the neck, he could have killed him bu didn't". Seriously? That's your defense?
You guys have lost the narrative completely and gone so far to the side of hang 'em all that any sort of discourse is completely impossible.
Man AFC, you need to step away from the keyboard.

Why? I have just pointed out that reality is almost no police ever get killed by knives, and yet as a society, and you lot on here in particular think it is perfectly fine to allow hundreds of civilians to be killed by the police in 'self defence' when in truth the police are facing a threat so negligible as to be statistically irrelevant.
All I'm saying is a policeman (or woman) should not be allowed to shoot someone just because they have a knife, and in particular shouldn't be allowed to because the person doesn't drop the knife when ordered, as that is neither a real threat to the police and is also where most of these poor sad schmoes get killed, surrounded by 5 or 6 policeman, all pointing their weapons at them from 20 or 25 feet away.
I'm not even blaming the cops I'm just saying the system has to change, cops have to be told clearly a guy with a knife isn't a threat in and of itself, and you cant shoot someone just because they wont drop the knife and you don't know what to do after that
