streets I hope they don't come in my direction. I will yell stop only once and then that is it. They are not ripping a part of my face off and I will use whatever deadly force i can to stop them. If these people continue to use crap that turns them into rabid dogs then they get treated like rabid dogs.

Normally I am on the side of holding police more accountable for their actions. If you choose to put on the badge and have the right to kill then you should be held to a higher standard. That does not mean they are superhuman and can perform feats seen in movies. You have to get close to taser and these people are taking chomps out of people. In many cases these people are being pepper sprayed and shot and keep going. At that point martial arts are out of the question and honestly I would shoot them dead too.

Here is a better idea. Stop taking drugs that make you rip off your clothes and attack people.
