The lack of it being mentioned by the police is a good reason to believe that Tazers and Pepper Spray were not used. Otherwise they would have lead with that when talking about this case. On top of that, the officer in question shot this man in the back. Three times. And I'm supposed to believe that all non-lethal means to stop this man were exhausted? I highly doubt it.
And just because a person does wrong and deserves punishment does not mean they deserve to be murdered by the state. This person had the potential to be dangerous. That doesn't mean that he gets an automatic death sentence because some cop decided so. And I'd very much argue unloading a gun in a population center is far more dangerous then any agitated man with a knife.
I may not have been there personally, but you weren't either. As far as I'm concerned, it's just as valid to be critical of the police in question as I have been. After all: you've been doing essentially the exact same thing by defending the police's actions without any evidence that they exhausted all other non-lethal means.
I am not sure how pepper spray is supposed to stop someone from wildly slashing around.
Blinding someone takes out a lot of their capabilities. It's hard to hit a target you can't see. And the vast majority of people with pepper spray in their eyes are going to grab at their eyes first from the pain/discomfort. I'm surprised I have to point this out.
Been many times proven to be unreliable: Highly depends on what the attacker is wearing or which mental state he is in.
The vast majority of people tend to tense up when tazed. Some people handle it better than others, but most people are getting stopped by a tazer. And again, pepper spray is another option if the tazer failed. The gun should have only been a last resort if no other options worked and the suspect was still trying to stab someone.
Guess we should task you with the investigation, since you appear to know a lot more than the rest of us.
They literally shot the man in the back three times, but K.
Do cops in Germany not have Pepper Spray? Do they not have tazers? It seems like there were plenty of options to deal with the threat at hand without killing them. But the cop decided to take the US approach of shoot first ask questions later.
I don't argue with idiots
