A guy comes after me with two knives in his hands, I ain’t looking at his skin color, baby! I read that any violent perp that gets to the 20-foot mark can get you! I’d empty the clip and re-load! Better to live and be called a racist than to be dead, buried, and forgotten by the likes of BLM.

Seems like race plays a role in practically any life event for some folks.

FTA: “We need to know why Sheboygan police killed Mr. Ruffin instead of handling this in a nonviolent way,” Chris Ott, the ALCU Wisconsin Executive Director said Thursday.
We already know why -- because he attacked a woman and then a police officer with knives.

This cop was doing what hussien said to do. "They bring a knife to the fight, you bring a gun!"
the family just wants MONEY. Ruining a persons life does not matter.

If the man had psychiatric issues, why didn't his family have him under care? It would have been free for them. Allowing a psycho to assault people only hurt him, as the family found out!

I really think that they should have sent in a team of social worker to deal with this.
/s off
Ask any officer, domestic disturbances are some of the most difficult and unpredictable calls. A common situation, that officers know to watch out for, is - hubby beats the heck out of wifey, wifey calls 911. The police look at her bleeding face, and hear her story of the beating, and start to cuff hubby. Often enough, at this point, wifey goes nuts either fighting the officers or sometimes grabbing a weapon - kitchen knives being a common weapon. More than a few officers have been hurt this way.
Yeah, send in social workers. And paramedics for the social workers.

So, those knives must have had black blades so they did not glint in the dark? that's the only possibility of racism here.

#9 is spot on. I have demonstrated that concept many times in martial arts classes, using rubber knives and water guns. The student attempting to draw his gun is often very surprised when he is "stabbed." A smooth draw under stress is not always successful.

If anybody even tangentially related to an incident was black, then "race played a role". (rolling eyes)
This has gotten so out of hand that playing the race card doesn't even require some rationale to be given (for how race was a factor). The racism grifters can practically just say "race" when something happens, and *presto*, it was racism.

Thereis an ancient saying used by Law Enforcement Officers which goes, "It is better to be TRIED by Twelve than CARRIED by six"!

Since when does having 'psychiatric issues' an excuse for anything? That seem to be the favorite go to excuse for bad behavior. When someone comes at you with a knife, that's a deadly weapon and should be recognized as such. Lethal force is required. What would a social worker have done?

A social worker would hold her clipboard up to block the knife and run, screaming bloody murder!

Is another looting and arson event about to happen?

Seems like there is only one solution to the problem: all LEOs should be black because no one cares about black on black crime or black on white crime.
I think it's amazing how white people do not take up for each other, but a black man with a rap sheet a mile long can become a national hero.
