Armed With Knife Suicidal Man Shot And Killed By Police In Arizona
All these LEO departments and their less lethal "toys", are what gets cops injured and or killed often times... Half these nut cases and drugged up perps are not affected by tazers, bean bag rounds etc... when I started in LE back in the mid 90d we had our 40cal Smith, pepper spray and an Asp, that's all we needed...
The American police officer must have thought he'd done another good deed and was going home to brag to his daughter and wife.
