Cops get to go home to their families when their shift ends.

There's a fuck ton of issues with policing, but using deadly force when faced with somebody coming at them with a knife, for example, is not one of them.

It wasn't a cop.

And we don't know if the person shot was holding the knife.

And yes, using deadly force, even in that situation of it was correct, is a huge problem.

You know how I know you don't work in a setting that might get dangerous?

you know how I know you don't know the stats for cause of death for most on-duty officers or the average amount of time lapsed between when an officer initiates in an encounter and resorts to lethal force?
