Im with chief on this one, and frankly am sick of all teh cop bashing. This lady did her job. She protected that lady from herself. Now imagine that they had not disarmed her and she had approached a CCDW holder with less intelligence and restraint and she had been shot to death. These cops protect people from themselves. You guys can monday morning quarterback all you want, but this lady did teh right thing, and if anyone is criminally liable its teh moron daughter in teh walmart while her 93 year old mother withe the mentality of a 6 year old is left alone with a freakin knife.
And teh belief that society can function without police is the same moronic mindset that contributes to teh idea that gun control will reduce crime. You believe that people are naturally "good"... People are naturally animal, and what sets us apart from apes is law.
Yes, the lady did her job. But protecting the knife wielder from herself? Please. I
guess firemen, to protect people from burning buildings need to throw the occupants
out the window come what may, to protect them. :banghead: Any normal person who
thought she might be a danger to herself or any other would try to disarm her,
yes i said try, and if she had fought back, how would you not be able to disarm a
86 year old lady. Possibly then, she would have been thrown on the ground, not the
way it was done on the video. And please, give the people who are licensed to
carry the benefit of the doubt, we know we're targets, we know that the bullet we
fire has to be able to be accounted for, we know we are liable to be sued for any and
all things imaginable in this, today's society.
Don't take this wrong, I AM NOT COP BASHING, i may be monday morning quarter-
backing (but hey, it's sunday, lol). And yes, i am with you, the daughter should be
held liable for leaving her mother (?) alone like that, she (the mother) definitley has
some issues.
