Police woman takes down an old woman.
The only thing was, the old lady was walking slowly around the parking lot holding a steak knife, didn't really look like she meant any harm. I think... :ninja:

I think it should be In The News.
The officer is a fucking douche?
here comes the "OH MY GOD ALL COPS ARE PIGS AND FAISTS THAT WOMAN MENT NO HARM HOLDING THAT KNIFE I HOPE THAT COP DIES LIKE ALL THE OTHER ONES"
Good, she had a knife...
[QUOTE=Thomo;16655215]I have lost all respect for the police.
She is fucking old, even though she had a knife, respect your elders bro's.
Maybe just like, 'PUT IT DOWN LADY! blargh, grab it from her.'[/QUOTE]
so if she was walking around with a gun that's ok too?
We have a right to bear arms.
Anyways, a steak knife is totally different from a gun; namely the distance required to kill someone.
The police are now officially :downs:
You don't understand how the Police work.
They are trained, when they see anyone with a deadly weapon to warn them, then drop them.
That is what they are supposed to do.
Stop being so thick.
Good for those cops. That bitch can go be old on someone else's time.
That was sarcasm, by the way.
It's because she was a black woman.
Seriously.

That has nothing to do with this.

The fact of the matter is that a knife can still be considered a deadly weapon. The cop was completely justified in this.

I could toss a kinfe for it to be leathal at the range of about 8 pickups, and im not even a pro knife thrower. Also, which is worse in your oppinion: a 8mm pinhole through your body, or a 30cm stab (thats width, not to metion depth which would be pretty guesome aswell) with a knife?
There are no codes in the law that permit anyone of age to walk around with weapons out. She got what she deserved.

Filler
She had a weapon and refused to drop it so the cop is allowed, but that doesn't mean the cop HAD to, I'm sure there could have been a few other methods to subduing the suspect.

I'm not saying it wasn't an overreaction, just that it was justified.

If you had bothered to watch the video, you would see the cop pointing at the knife obviously telling the lady to surrender it.
The cameraman sucked. I couldn't see the tackle, just the lady after she was on the ground. :mad:
Not sure what the laws are in America, but in England, a suspect is given 3 warnings to drop any weapon they are carrying. After that, the officer is allowed to use his tazer, baton, and brute strength.
Also, if the suspect uses the weapon with deadly force on a civilian or officer, the officers are allowed to shoot to kill. But only riot officer have guns here, so that never happens much.
I imagine the laws are about the same, but dumbed down and written in bright, easy to learn colours for you Americans.

Ironically, comments like yours are just as stupid and also appear in all videos concerning police brutality.
Welcome to the police force of the United States.

And Airport security.
And TAU.

Senility couldn't have played a role at all in that situation. :rolleyes:
Why was she bleeding? I'm sure by that age her menopause has already occured.
Why didn't he just nick it from her? No need to throw her to the ground like that. Bastard.

It doesn't matter if she's crazy or not, she was going to hurt someone and she needed to be restrained.
Hey look a schizophrenic man is stalking and killing people! Let's just go let him do that.
Wow, that cop is a bitch.

Uhh did you notice that she was taken down or did you just want to make a dumb joke?

You need a better definition of senility.
What could she possibly do with a steak knife? I'm sure any healthy adult could easily get behind her and restrain her without being in any harms way.
