[QUOTE="Samantha:1392029"][QUOTE="Hoser:1392007"]My point is, don't even take a chance. When a guy is 10 feet from you with a knife, he can be ON you in less than a second. You do not tase a guy like that, you end the threat.[/QUOTE] I worked in a residential mental health facility for several years, and I've seen how huge of a difference it can make when you make more of an effort to de-escalate people. Of course, there will always be cases when talking is not an option, but those happen less often than you think. Where I worked, it was a step down from hospital placement, so the use of chemical restraints (i.e. thorazine injection) wasn't an option. Our only option was physical restraint. With experience, it's much easier to judge whether a person is just posturing at you, or if they're going to assault you. 10 feet is a good distance. Even for someone with a knife, it's a good enough distance that two well trained people can disarm him and get him on the ground before he hurts anyone, without having to shoot the guy. Honestly, I think the police could have dealt with the knife wielding guy much better. Shooting a person should be a last resort when there is no other option. Firing 9 shots is just ridiculous. Their first mistake was to get out of the car with guns drawn and yelling. The perpetrator in this case would have likely been more compliant if he was approached by an officer who took the time to treat him like a human being and ask him what was going on. Tell the guy to put the knife down and have a calm conversation, and he is probably not going to pace around begging you to shoot him. [/QUOTE]
