Dude was walking up to police with his hand out. They keep killing my people. It's so exhausting.

Edit: He might have a knife. I'm not sure if he does or if police are being scummy police.

Edit: Witnesses said he had a knife so that might just be true.

    stab vests are a thing, tasers are a thing,but beyond all that, deescalation is a thing.

    While I agree with most of what you said, if someone is coming at me with a knife and I have a gun, I am shooting them. For one, a stab vest is gonna do jackshit when I stab you in the neck and tasers fail a good amount of times since they depend on prodes actually hitting your skin and both have to hit. When in close combat, you are better off just hitting someone on the head with the taser then actually firing.

    Maybe it's because of where I grew up and I have seen my fair share of stabbings, having hands cut off and getting gutted, but if you within 3 meters of me with a knife, I ain't gonna be deescalating you and playing nice with you, it's life or death and I ain't taking my chances
