Gotcha, cops should call swat when a intoxicated suspect has a knife and it raises questions.
And you obviously don't understand the 21ft rule, its not a rule so officers know to stay away 21ft.![]()
I've heard of the 21' rule. Something to the effect that someone with a knife can cover 21' in 1.5 seconds - basically before a cop gets to draw and discharge his weapon. You obviously know the 21' rule. Im assuming the cop knew that rule as well. So with that in mind, why didn't the cop maintain a safe distance? The guy was walking away from him and the cop approached him. And the 4 seconds that the victim was given is not enough to properly register who is yelling at you, turn around 180, get aggressive, and lunge at the cop and cover 21', esp when he was drunk (like mentioned earlier in this thread).
Obviously you think cops can do no wrong and will defend even the bad seeds. So there is no point discussing this with you any further.
BTW, I don't have a problem with cops. Majority of my experiences with them have been positive.
