He gave this person way more warning, and time than I would have. This person was literally chasing him around his car, and the LEO kept warning.
How much does an officer have to warn a person before they are allowed to act?
Is there a certain criteria?
Come to find out later it was an airsoft gun.
That is what I think is going on, and it may and probably is costing them their lived, or serious injury.Officers are waiting too long because they get crucified by society and prosectuted for 100% justified actions.
Officers are trained to use time, distance, and barriers to "deescalate" a situation so that they don't have to use physical or deadly force. But officers are hesitating and not using any type of force because they are fearful of being prosecuted for their justified actions.That is what I think is going on, and it may and probably is costing them their lived, or serious injury.
Is that the officers discretion, or is it department training?
Crazy Guy fights remarkably hard for a dude with several HSTs in him.
Meh. All you really need is a 5 shot snubby and a Trapper Jim certificate.Wow, that guy absorbed some cu/Pb and kept going.
Mag limits my a**.
...and a leather holster with a thumb snap...Meh. All you really need is a 5 shot snubby and a Trapper Jim certificate.
Or a leather holster with a bungee. I swear to God I saw this in Lowes one day. Older dude. J frame in a leather clip holster clipped to his pocket. His retention was a 1/8" bungee....and a leather holster with a thumb snap...
It’s a tough situation. Most of the time an officer can tell pretty quickly they’re dealing with someone in mental health crisis. Getting them to the hospital for help is ideal, but that person is still a threat until then. If the person is waving a gun and won’t put it down, how do the police get that person help? There are no magic words.Getting tired of the phrase, "Mental Health Crisis." The woman is screaming, don't kill him, he needs to be in a mental hospital, etc. Well fine then, glad we reached consensus on that. Get his azz committed, so we won't have to deal with him.
It seems like for every person not capable of living safely in society...someone is living with them, enabling them to, well, live in society. It just doesn't seem to be working very well.
This was fast and came out if nowhere.
How do you train for something like this attack?

More proof that "5 fer sure" is good enough...
And I’ll bet this is the guy they were going up to confront. Imagine if they had been 30 seconds faster? They’d have missed him by passing in the elevators.Officers are waiting too long because they get crucified by society and prosectuted for 100% justified actions.
