None of that is relevant here. This was a man _walking away_ with his back turned. That's what I meant by nonthreatening.

- vorpalhex 8y agoIf someone threatens your life with a deadly weapon, the fact that they've turned their back for a moment and headed towards other people (innocent people, your comrades, etc) doesn't make them not a threat anymore. As a police officer, you have an obligation to keep the public safe, and that includes from knife wielding nutcases. Yes, it'd be great if cops could bear hug everyone into submission, but that's not the reality of the situation.
