43 yr old male stabs a 77 yr old make who confronted him about not wearing one. Dumbass 43 yr old flees, later to be confronted by a sheriffs deputy. He draws a knife, and doesn’t drop it when ordered and the deputy promptly removes him from the gene pool.

1. Dear god, this is why we don't get nice things.

[Aristus]

2. It's Mississippi.

One less Mississippi idiot can't be a bad thing...

[roamer65]

3. Rural Michigan.

Sadly. It’s pretty red out there.

[Aristus]

5. Oops! Sorry.

Still, a Trumpster state.

I am not moved to tears...

[roamer65]

6. In the rural areas, yes.

The cities and suburban areas are very blue now.

[llmart]

19. No, it is not a Trumpster state.

Take a look at our 2018 election results. It was a blue tsunami. The idiots that get all the attention are mostly from the rural, less populated/less educated areas and there are many of those areas in Michigan.

7. Jyeah, but whatever happened to shooting a knee out and then disarming the guy?

Or is that only on tv?

[ProfessorGAC]

8. TV

You don't really believe;
a). All cops are good enough shots to hit a 3x3 inch target, under duress?
b). They are not trained to target center of mass?
That wounding the leg thing is mostly TV & movies and limited to the best of the best marksmen.

10. Center of mass

You aim for the center of mass, it's the safest way to assure you hit them. This guy was totally unhinged charging an officer with a knife in his hand, this was a just shooting, you just wish he could have survived.

[TeamPooka]

12. charging an officer with a knife and the cop knew he had just killed someone with that knife

rarely are police shootings this clear cut with justified force.

[drray23]

17. Actually the 77yr old victim is alive in stable condition

but your point still holds.

[LisaL]

11. That's only for TV.

How easy to do you think to try and shoot someone who is moving in a small target like knee?

[miyazaki]

13. That cop needs to be charged with first degree murder.

wait for it,

[irisblue]

15. TV. Cops are not John Reese

[stopdiggin]

18. Like you said, that's strictly TV.

You might find a rare officer, or a rare incident -- but mostly they're gonna' get their ass chewed for not following training. And anything that is moving is damned hard to hit, period.

[Initech]

9. No argument here!

[drray23]

14. Saw the video.

The guy clearly charged the deputy. She asked him to drop it several times he kept advancing and lunged at her. She backed away and started shooting. He kept coming at her. This guy must have been on pcp or something. It took many bullets to stop him.

[roamer65]

16. Almost sounds like suicide by cop.

[LisaL]

20. My guess the guy was on something.

Autopsy will tell.

[Siwsan]

21. I just watched the video, too

Wow. He just didn't stop.

[roamer65]

22. I think LisaL may be right.

Probably on meth or PCP.
