He was naked. He was holding a fluorescent bulb. He was on a ledge. Does the ledge give him a tactical advantage or something? No. It gives him a disadvantage. There was no danger to anybody except himself.
Clearly, he was going to slay everybody! He could have jumped off the ledge and lunged at someone!
Training? You braindead folks keep mentioning training. Isn't this what your training is supposed to do? Do you really feel threatened by a naked mentally ill man with a fluorescent tube?
Why don't you let him jump, and when he breaks his legs, take the tube away from him?
Why don't you let him jump, and when he doesn't break his legs, use this training you speak of to disarm him?
An 8' long stick would be a better weapon than a fluorescent tube! He could have broken it over an officers head and it would have shattered. He would no longer be holding it, and the officer would be lucky to have a single cut.
He could have then lunged at an officer he was lucky enough to still be holding a piece of the tube. Oh noes! I am sure this man has cat like reflexes and agility. Oh wait, that's what your training is supposed to provide you with.
This is disgusting.
that's a brilliant tactic, letting the guy hit you with a flourescent tube and the chemicals inside so "he would no longer be holding it". way to use the brain some of us don't have.
i'm not arguing that tazing the guy on a ledge is a good idea, i'm just saying that some of you guys are very unrealistic.
