Video Shows LAPD Fatally Shooting Woman With Knife

[400Lb Gorilla]

Shooting someone in the arm or leg should at least render that limb unusable!

Also I have practiced krav maga and would highly fancy my chances of taking a knife off a female. A trained cop should have to train knife disarms etc a lot more than a casual self defence enthusiast.

No. Just no.

You shoot for center mass. Otherwise you run an even higher chance of shooting some innocent bystander. And trying to disarm a knife off of someone is highly dangerous even if you "practice krav maga"

[Goncho]

Great job LAPD. About time a video gets posted of cops actually responding appropriately

[Fozzy13]

So if you're an officer and you have your gun pointed at someone wielding a knife that is walking towards you what would you do? Put down your gun and try to reason with them?

have my partner tase them, if im by myself try to stall if possible and wait for backup, if all else fails then shoot

I mean fuk..there are tons of other cops in other countries who handle situations like this and are able to get it resolved without killing people...in the UK kunts are always walking around with blades and the cops didnt even have guns until recently.

[PumpedPecs]

were they really fearing for their lives when they saw a woman with a knife. theres a 99% chance they couldve wrestled it out of her hand, but LA cops are trigger happy pussies

Yeah, they should've just pounced on her and risked getting stabbed so she could go to jail for 20 or so years and drain tax payer's money and get out and try it again.

[swaptrex]

lmao, it never fails. People actually defending this criminal, smh. She got everything she deserved.

[Ausaric]

Glad they took care of her. Anyone who comes at people in public with a knife deserves to be put down. Ask anyone with some street knowledge of they'd rather be shot or stabbed/cut and you'll get your answer.

You don't come at people with weapons and not realize that you deserve to die.

[NoahFence]

No. Just no.

Lol maybe if you spent less time lifting weights and more time training a martial art you might learn something usefull

[Benny_Lava]

How do you shoot someone with a knife?

[Goncho]

Yeah, they should've just pounced on her and risked getting stabbed so she could go to jail for 20 or so years and drain tax payer's money and get out and try it again.

so just kill her instead. who was backing up 2 feet and tasing her. its a knife, not a gun. you dont have to use deadly force on something that's only deadly if you're within arms reach of somebody. they could have tased her or used non lethals

if they pulled up and she was in the middle of stabbing someone to death, that's the only time I can think of that makes sense to kill her

[400Lb Gorilla]

Lol maybe if you spent less time lifting weights and more time training a martial art you might learn something usefull

lol I am a black belt in ninjitsu, jujitsu, kung fu, crouching tiger, and drunken boxing

u jelly?

[NVious]

Does anybody know the prize for stupid games?

Heard it's quite good

[400Lb Gorilla]

How do you shoot someone with a knife?

Pulling the trigger.

stupid...she was walking with a knife...she wasnt "coming at" anyone.

And whats a weapon...what if it was a screwdriver? Or some other pointy object?


How about cops not be so quick to fkn shoot and kill people.

All due respect. Krav is nice. But it's not the same as someone trying to kill you or being lethal threat.

Shooting them in the extremities doesnt render that limb useless automatically.

I have a good friend who got in a fight because he was banging a married woman. He got shot twice in the chest with a large caliber handgun. At nearly point blank range. He ran almost 1/4 of a mile before passing out and he survived.

You would think you could take a knife off a female. We all would like to think that. Until she severed a tendon and your hands or arms never work right again. Meanwhile she continues to stab you to death.

Look up the force continuem. A police officer goes one level higher. You don't try to get a knife from someone. You command them to drop it or you drop them.

I'd like to see people on here work one week as a cop in a large city like Los Angeles.

People make me laugh here.

I've been in lethal force encounters. I've been shot at. I've had to shoot too. I've been stabbed multiple times.

It happens fast. There is no reset button.

As they say in the USMC.... Whoever does the most violence in the shortest amount of time wins.

Think about that.

[BRAHzzers]

perp uses fists > they use batons/taser/mace

perp has a knife > cops use a gun

where and when did the general public get the idea that criminals should have a level playing field with police? just lol

this is the absolute truth. the public seems to think they should get to be "equal" to the police. that is not the case. AT ALL

[Brust88]

Considering it was a 120lbs female against two trained males, I would have liked to see the cops use a taser or baton. On the other hand if you're going to charge at a cop with a knife you better be ready to get shot. She should have know better.

[Benny_Lava]

Pulling the trigger.

Knives don't have triggers.

Don't get smart with me.

[300BLK]

lol I read that as "Police USED a knife to shoot someone" so I clicked in confusion, until I watched the video and it's actually read as "Police shoot someone that HAS a knife".

Some people just want to watch paragraphs burn.

[xevolution]

Cops are morons. 21 foot rule thought up by someone with a 21IQ I'm sure predicts a lot of things, calculated by the tater tots in the laboratories of the cutting each police laboratories. Point is police value their lives more than those they are supposedly "protecting". ****ing cowards could have shot her on extremities, instead aimed for her head like she was dog. She was totally in the wrong for approaching but still many other ways to immobilize her. YouTube the cops in England I believe, who apprehended a big mental black dude running around with a machete. They actually do work as police. Not the lazy racist borderline intellectually disable college/high school dropouts that we have here. Only in America are we stupid enough to arm morons.

[Mudshovel]

stupid...she was walking with a knife...she wasnt "coming at" anyone.

And whats a weapon...what if it was a screwdriver? Or some other pointy object?


How about cops not be so quick to fkn shoot and kill people.

Dude I can't tell if you are trolling or if you are a complete ****ing retard.

Are you running out of justifications for the cops reacting rationally and within the law? Here I got one for you: "they're a pucking white male!"

[WookinPaNub]

Could've dropped that lady with a punch, kick or takedown not using lethal force

Skip to about the 4 minute mark to watch him use it.

And get back to me on knives not having triggers

so just kill her instead. who was backing up 2 feet and tasing her. its a knife, not a gun. you dont have to use deadly force on something that's only deadly if you're within arms reach of somebody. they could have tased her or used non lethals

Another internet genius. ...

Backing up 2 feet or 10 feet solves nothing. She can move forward faster than you can back peddle.

Secondly tasers are not always effective. They don't always connect. Clothing can interfere with them. Drugs or adrenaline can limit or cancel their effectiveness.

A taser is for non lethal force. A knife is lethal force. You don't taser a person with a gun or a knife sir.

What in the actual fawk is wrong with half of you?? You can't all be trolling.

[Fozzy13]

Are you running out of justifications for the cops reacting rationally and within the law? Here I got one for you: "they're a pucking white male!"

lol @ "within the law". Fkn lol...like that matters.

Dude I can't tell if you are trolling or if you are a complete ****ing retard.

You dumb? You're seriously fkn stupid. srs

[Smithers115]

. ****ing cowards could have shot her on extremities, instead aimed for her head like she was dog.

lol

ok navy seal

go to a gun range and try shooting targets in the extremity under duress with a small time frame

cops dont train with their weapon enough for that accuracy even if you completely disregard that shooting at limbs is retarded and wont stop a threat

[cookiefiend]

Not gonna lie, shooting someone with a knife is impressive. I wouldn't even be mad.
