Taser does NOT always work. He had on a heavy coat. Might have been high on drugs.

Why not say "pretty please" as he stabs you?

That's one person I know won't be stabbing me.

I guess I get it, all those extra pounds of fat combined with body armor would certainly make it hard to get out of the way of an assailant who is 15-20 feet away

Gladiators were not allowed to use them in Roman Civilizing Society.
Roman Officers thought very lowly of such a civil remedy (tactic).

Actually they killed him so that he would not stab you. They did not know that you are actually Spiderman and could simply step aside if he attacked you.

How about an assailant who is about to shoot you. Did they all have sufficient ability to get out of the way.

Perhaps next time there is a shooting the authorities should just say well he was 15-20 feet from you, ya' too fat to get out of the way?

No he didnt have a gun but he pulled an object from his pocket that looked like a gun. You got 15+ cops surrounding you, you dont pull something out of your pocket. I guess cops should wait until there are actual bullets flying before they react though.

What did the police do to you that makes you hate them so much? You would rather see them die than a criminal.

The guy was walking away from them when he was shot. The cops regarded that act as a snub.

It seems like this situation lasted for a while if that number of cops were able to mass up. I'm hoping they made some attempt at de-escalating the situation given that they had the safety of overwhelming force.
