I think a better title for this post would be POLICE TAKE DOWN KNIFE-WEILDING MANIAC.

Hahaha....Well? Why didn't they place a call to a dept. somewhere that DOES have tasers, and wait for it to arrive before acting? :::heavy sarcasm:::

When a person with a weapon charges at the police, the cops are well within their rights to shoot. If the criminal dies, it is unfortunate. I don't understand why race ALWAYS needs to be brought into the mix. God bless everyone involved in this mess, including the woman and her family.

''Sorry Scranbarre, I'm sure you're a perfectly nice person. I just get really tired of reading post after post and it always comes back to your sexual orientation and how everyone is discriminating against you because of it. Frankly, it's just not really that interesting and most people probably could care less about who you choose to have a relationship with. You seem to have little tolerance for anyone who doesn't share your views about urban living, diversity, education, and in general, you seem very preoccupied with anyone who earns and has more than you do. I lost all respect for you months ago when you started complaining about an elderly couple that took too long at the voting booth on election day and inconvenienced you. I hope you find the life of tolerance and acceptance that you want, but I think you will have to learn tolerance in the process. Good luck.""

I could not have said it better You hit it right on the head I stopped reading his stuff a while ago because I could only get half thru it before I got fed up and moved on

Then the next question is WHY? Why don't they have tasers? I'm pretty sure a number of male police officers can take down a single female. I think deadly force was overused.

No need for sarcasm. A simple, "The SPD doesn't have tasers" would suffice. They really *should* have tasers or at least rubber bullets.

I don't think it's racially motivated. I just think that deadly force shouldn't be used as much as it is.
