WilshireFlorida man armed with garden shears survives gator attack before shot, killed by deputies
orcaThis is a wild story about
- how running with scissors is a bad idea
- alligator bites can’t even stop a dude on meth
- cops continue to have no clue what de-escalation tactics are
PlebcouncilmanHonestly I think in this case the cops responded as they should. They tried teasing him and that didn’t do anything and then he tried to take a rifle from them. At that point they didn’t have a lot of options.
Maybe tazing someone isn’t the best idea. There are other methods of suppression.
Also once it doesnt work, most police forces in most civilized places know how to take a man down without shooting him up, even if he is trying to take your gun. Its only in the US that cops seem to think fuck any semblance of a threat means I can start blasting people to timbuktu
How would you suppress a guy that just swam in crocodile infested waters and shrugged off a crocodile bite?
Maybe the cops should have tried to ask the erratic, violent meth head trying ti steal their rifles to calm down nicely?
With handcuffs? lol. Do you think that handcuffs just magically don’t work if you’ve been doing drugs?
I mean a crocodile and a taser didn’t stop him, I don’t think they would have easily been able to restrain him let alone get close enough to do so without being injured.
But it’s fine, I’m not gonna argue this anymore. I’m not gonna convince you otherwise, especially if you’ve never seen a psycho meth head.
It’s not PCP. He’s still feeling pain. And police in other countries manage to stop people just fine. Some 19 year old in Germany, not even a police officer, stopped a knife attack the other day. That’s an instance of someone literally trying to kill people and a kid was able to stop them without resorting to guns. It’s a policeman’s job to literally get hurt to protect the populace. If they can’t do that then what point are they. What are we paying them for? Killing people?
I used to work at a junkie hotel. I think you’re the one here that’s only seen junkies on television.
