The City Of Brotherly Love.

Indeed...some love to assault and injure police officers.

Indeed...some love to assault and injure police officers.

Actually, some parts of it are pretty cool. I've been there more times than I remember.
My cousin is a retired Phila. cop. Haven't talked to him in a month or so. He's glad he retired and moved back here.

This guy had a knife, and not a fire arm, why couldn't the police have used mace on him??????????????????????????????

Mace sometimes doesn't work, Trumpet.

A gun usually does.

Why are you more concerned about the perpetrator than the police officers, Trumper?

Earl, deadly force should only be used as a last resort.

The thug made a choice. Why do police have to defend themselves by your rules? It's irrelevant what he used.

[CFM]

Earl, deadly force should only be used as a last resort.

Are you claiming a knife isn't a deadly weapon?

If a thug comes at police with a deadly weapon, there is no problem if the police respond to that with a deadlier weapon.

Trumpet must believe a knife isn't a deadly weapon.

If a thug comes as police with a deadly weapon, there is nothing wrong with police responding with a deadlier weapon.

[Earl]

Earl, deadly force should only be used as a last resort.

Yes, Trumper and the police officers on the ground, facing a man with a knife have to make that determination, not you Trumper.

You just get to sit comfortably in your home, not threatened with a violent death by a thug with a deadly weapon.

Why do you always show more concern for the perpetrators than the police who are trying to defend us and themselves?

Indeed.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

[CFM]

Indeed.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

The only ones that support doing that are those that want to get shot and their supporters that want to justify being thug rioters, looters, and arsonists.

[Trumpet]

Yes, Trumper and the police officers on the ground, facing a man with a knife have to make that determination, not you Trumper.

Earl, should the right wing fanatics the likes of Boogaloo and the Proud Boys be treated the same??????????????????
