@earl-of-trumps saidThat means that BLM must be a worthwhile cause.
BLM is not going away any time soon.
They have chapters in many US cities and have over $1billion in funding.
That's my message, regardless how your warped TDS mind interprets my actions for me.
Now if we can only get the white supremacists to stop infiltrating the rallies....
@earl-of-trumps saidBillion dollars and they haven't helped one black business or neighborhood that got destroyed in their riots .

But they sure do buy some fancy buses and rent nice hotel rooms for their travelling "demonstrators".

@dood111 saidThe problem with this video is that it presupposes that the best weapon against a knife is a gun. Ridiculous.
You don't try to shoot someone in the leg if they are coming at you with a knife because if you miss or don't incapacitate them you're dead.
Here's an example of the Tueller Drill 21 foot rule:

What's the best weapon against a gun? A bazooka?
@shavixmir saidI've seen the video, Wallace is not just walking towards the cops, he's RUNNING at them and is about ten feet away when they finally open fire.
And you weren’t there either.
They are lucky they weren't hurt.

@shavixmir saidLOOK AT THE VIDEO and get back to us.
You weren’t there.
The officers had no choice.
You are being intellectually dishonest with that "you weren't there" baloney.

@mghrn55 saidHey, hey, hey. That's Suzianne's schtick.

I'm surprised she hasn't been in here to blame the boogie boys for all the arsons and looting. She's slipping.
@suzianne saidNo, it doesn't presuppose any such thing. That was a very stupid thing to say.

It shows that someone with an inferior weapon can still kill a man armed with a gun if they are close enough.

@dood111 saidWhy does this happen in the US... frequently... and nearly nowhere else?

Why doesn’t the cop use a taser?
I can’t watch the video. How is the man holding the knife? Is he actually running? Is he walking? Is he responsive at all?
Surely cops are trained how to handle situations like this with a minimum of force?
I’ve been attacked by people with knives (2 seperate incidents) and not once have I shot anyone over it. Or even been scratched with the knife (although, admittadely, I did manage to stab myself with my new chef’s knife a few weeks ago).
And you do realise this shooting isn’t an incident, don’t you? It’s an act with a country-breaking backdrop of acts, violence and frustration. Without even pointing fingers at who is to blame, there’s so much testosterone in the air and nobody calming the situation that every mistake, misjudgement or preceived injustice just fans the flames.
It’s so volatile you really don’t want cops shooting people at the moment. Justified or not.

@dood111 saidI’m very familiar with hand guns thanks and it’s easy enough if you hold and aim the gun correctly.
You must not be familiar with handguns, hitting someone in the leg that is running at you isn't as easy as it sounds. Even if you hit them it's not guaranteed that you will incapacitate them on the first shot.
The Tueller Drill video you refuse to look at shows that inside 21 feet a person with a knife can close in and kill a person armed with a pistol almost every time.
H ...[text shortened]... e you ever shot a handgun? At paper targets to see how accurate you are with a fast rapid fire shot?
First thing is to back off and get some distance so you can line up your shot and aim for the thigh.
Was the guy running at full pelt towards a lone officer?

@kevcvs57 saidBy the looks of photos I’ve since seen, it looks more like the man is stumbling towards 2 cops who are correctly moving backwards to create distance.

I can’t see how he’s holding a knife (or even if he is holding one). The gate of the legs is too small to be running.
The cops carry tasers don’t they?
And batons?

@kevcvs57 saidRight so there was a bunch of them and your still saying that using group fire they could not bring him down with leg shots. Utter BS.
