I don't feel threatened when someone is going away from me or laying face down on the ground.Also , I saw a video of a man approaching some police officers with a machete in his hand and he was not shot but he was disarmed. Oh did I point out that the man with the machete was WHITE
One blistering hot Friday evening in July, 1979, at the 3rd Precinct of the Metropolitan Police Department in DC I witnessed a one armed man, in a wheel chair, loaded on PCP take down 4 other cops and did 25K damage to the desk area. It took over 5 minutes to get him under control. You know nothing about law enforcement.
