Cop shoots and kills women charging at him with a meat cleaver

[Drufeus]

Good shoot. Nothing to see here. And lol at taser. Let's meet deadly force with non deadly force. Put ourselves at a disadvantage.

[iTunesBrah]

I love how people dont realize there are only a small handful of police in the world who don't carry guns. Even border officers around the world carry and are trained to shoot just like that video.

yet American officers kill citizens at a rate 70 times higher than other first world countries.

[cgh]

I love and support our police and he technically was justified.

But was the fat old lady really a threat ? Would it kill the guy to retreat and call backup ?

the dude could have disarmed her without a weapon. I have a family member who is a schitzo I hope no one calls the cops on her cause she will get shot cause she get hysterical like this lady.

Yes, it is possible he could have disarmed her. It is also possible and probably she slit his throat in the process.

Damn fine police work.

[Lefticle]

Exactly, it's clear the women's in no state to follow instructions, She couldn't even speak English too. If you can't disarm a 60+ year old women without the need for a gun, you shouldn't be a police officer.

If you are running at a cop with a cleaver and he is pointing a gun at you screaming something in a foreign language, it's pretty obvious that you should probably "stop" whatever you are doing if you value your life

[rotatoo]

Da fuk was she thinking

[Astyanax]

Meat cleaver....bitch saw one too many kung fu movies.

[holtmcg]

This is why I have zero problems when bad things happen to police officers. The policing in this country is nothing short of embarrassing.

[anonymous]

Another one goes down, one less threat normal people have to worry about. Ty based officer.

Seriously rip your nutsack right off your body if you are upset this nutjob met her end. Fukin pathetic.

This.
Could he have tried to taser her? Yes.
But play stupid games win stupid prizes. I'm completely okay with someone dumb enough or insane enough to not drop a weapon and keep walking towards a cop who has a gun pointed at u giving commands, to die.

My only criticism is he should have moved backwards and to the right before firing because the woman behind the one with the weapon could have easily been hit in the cross fire.

Only retards try to deny that our law enforcement and criminal justice system as a whole has major faults. But this video is not a good example of that.
This video is a prime example of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Really ? Really ?

Was the old lady trained in the drunken master Kung fu style?

Come on man, the lady was clearly mentally ill. Legally he was justified, but a little common sense goes along way. Legal or not that is not an example of good law enforcement.

[Tamarisky]

Easily could have been prevented...................by not going after a cop with a meat cleaver

Bingo.

lmao as if the cop was in any immediate danger, he could probably outwalk the old women. I'm not saying what she did was justified, but it's quite clear she's got form of mental illness and had some sort of episode and I don't think she should have to pay for it with her life..

But brah, people can throw that shiet too. But I get your point.

'My training took over and it's what probably saved my life,' Bloch told Fox 8 News.

[Cpaballin]

how about 1 gunshot to the knee/food/thigh?

but 5 shots....unbelievable

[40ozDrank]

Ever see what one swing of a cleaver can do to a man? If the cop retreated and she hacked a bystander, there would be two dead people on his hands

Easily could have killed the witness though, good thing she had lots of bullet absorbing fat

Edit: just threw a cleaver 2 or 3 inches into a palm tree 15 feet away, 3rd try. Try it out

[Omnivium]

You police lovers are just as bad as the police haters

police haters: everything police do is automatically excessive force no matter what actually happened
police lovers: everything police do is automatically 100% justified no matter what actually happened

Oh look it's a fat old grandma slowly hobbling towards me, better keep shooting her over and over until she's definitely dead. Whether this is legally justified or not, any person in their right mind should be able to realize that in this case it was a little bit excessive. And no I am not a police hater. Inb4 negs

that's somebody's daughter

Yes, it's actually laughable how anyone can justify the police officers actions as being normal.

[artDDP]

You go outside with a meat cleaver what do you think is going to happen? If you call the police to report someone walking around with a meat cleaver what do you think is going to happen?

[Highwind7]

m8, everyone who's ever used a gun knows cop/soldiers/whatever are trained to shoot at the center of the mass (torso), unless you're a pro you can't really aim at limbs and expect it to hit everytime. however slowly that person apporaches you.

5 shots....mmmyeaaah 2-3 more shots more than I would've fired in his situation. adrenaline works wonders I guess.

though I would've fired a warning shot at first but you can't really haggle with someone who decides to come at you with a cleaver knowing full well they'd get filled with lead.

[Rangerz91]

what happens if the police officer trips while he is attempting to run away from grandma.

[SpicyCurrie]

Brb being approached by a meat cleaver wielding, mentally unstable person
Brb better go hand to hand combat and disarm her


Cop shouldn't have to risk his life to appease the lives of people who don't have the courage to do his job.






Edit: also why does everyone think she has to be on top of him to hack away? If she threw the cleaver at him and it hit it could be a fatal wound or she could've then gotten on top and hacked away.

[ven33]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Why would you aggressively charge at someone with a knife if they have a gun?

This. A thrown cleaver, surprisingly, can do damage. But lol @ shooting while bystander was behind target. Ummm, shoot from a different angle.

[chalup]

Fukkin lol

A cop shouldn't risk other peoples lives to stop a ****ing old woman that is hobbling with a meat cleaver. BRB shoot right at an innocent bystander because my training took over, lmao full retard.

[CazU]

This again? It's funny how everyone is on the cop's side. Do you want to know why people are pissed that the lady was shot? Because it was unnecessary. She was walking at a snail's pace and the officer had other weapons to subdue her. Or have you guys forgotten that cops carry more than just a gun?

The main reason why people are pissed is because they hold cops to a higher standard, and expect them to keep calm in situations like these so they can analyze and respond in a just manner. THEY AREN'T YOUR EVERDAY FUKKING CITIZENS. They are the soldiers at home. And people expect them to act like it. If you have cops shooting people willy nilly at the slightest fear of their lives, then it affects the populace negatively.

1. They began to feel like the police aren't some entities that with stoic demeanours and who perform just actions. People need something to look up to. Having trigger happy cops leads to trigger happy people. Surprised common sense doesn't prevail

2. They began to feel oppressed. If someone can kill someone else at the slightest hint of danger, with no repercussions, but you were to be prosecuted to the fullest extent, than there is obviously a power imbalance in play. We usually accept power imbalances, when they are seen as necessary, i.e police officers remaining calm during all situations and not doing something stupid allows them to react properly. But if that person is just like you, and reacts the same way you would in all situations, but the only difference is that they're lawfully allowed to perform the action, then you naturally feel uneasy. It makes you feel that you can be dealt with in a similar manner for the smallest action. Why? Because ordinary people overreact all the fukken time. They just aren't armed with an arsenal of tools and weapons like officers are. You expect an officer to hold the moral highground and subdue you if you go off in a nonviolent way as everyone naturally does from time to time. Not fukkin stomp your face in.

I love how no one realizes that animosity towards cops who perform such unnecessary actions is justified. You all scream when Israel reacts in a way to Palestine that is over the top and uneven, but are sheep when the same thing occurs back home on a smaller scale. The latter does more harm to the structure of American society. But you fail to see it because 'merika. Lol at the lack of critical thinking skills

it's not a matter of love or hate. it's a matter of not caring that the police are killing the scum of the earth. so what some criminal/psycho gets pumped full of lead?

law-abiding and working class citizens don't face these kind of issues, so i couldn't care less if some homeless crackhead whale dies

[TrueForester]

LOL cops incompetent as usual.

Wonder how these cop dick suckers will feel when they need a cop and he ends up being useless. (Needed police 2x in my life both times they were beyond dumb and useless)

[VocelLoser]

Lol at thinking there weren't other ways to handle this situation.

Lol harder at thinking that someone suggesting not killing someone is the equivalent of suggesting the cop step within stabbing distance and try to disarm her.

Strong womanly "hate us cause we anus" argument (don't have the courage to do his job, fuk off *******), strong location, strong stats, strong everything.
