I noticed that too. It reminds me of my Mom's dementia, which this lady may be suffering from. The mind can play terrible tricks on you. It's so sad. I'm glad they were able to apprehend her w/o anyone getting hurt. Update: I've been told by @Some Rando that this woman's dementia was meth induced and she has kidnapping on her own rap sheet. Regardless, I'm still glad the police were able to apprehend her without bloodshed. I hope she can get clean and get the help she needs and be a better person.
I highly doubt someone can be so deluded by conspiracy theory and the rest, that they would say this. It’s moreso the case they are suffering from some sort of mental illness or under the influence. Tbh, I’m not sure how you didn’t get to this conclusion based on logic alone.
The fact that there are actually people in this comment section saying the cop didn’t handle the situation properly and he should have “de-escalated” the situation blows my mind. Telling a psycho in a Walmart that’s threatening people with a knife 25 times to drop it is more than sufficient. Easy to complain how he handled this when you’re watching it through a screen. Try being the cop.
I agree. I think he handled it perfectly. So many things could have gone wrong. There were other customers in sight. Let me see someone else try and handle this situation so smoothly without anyone getting hurt. Ugh. These Internet warriors 🤦♀️ I tell ya.
Exactly! Plus you'd be surprised at how quickly people can close the gap between you and them - she could have ran at him at any point. Being tasered was the kindest way to handle this woman tbh.
The officer gave her exactly 30 warnings. No-one can say that he wasn't being fair while still being extremely cautious. Just so sad. What is going on with people today??
Tazers can be unreliable. Hes smart for trying to get the knife out of her hands first. Hes very level headed dealing with a dangerous uncompliant. Forget about whether hes fair on not, this was a knife wielder he was dealing with.
The way he constantly warned her, and gave her several chances to drop it yet she didn’t is just astonishing. Cop did a fantastic job with handling the situation!
@@spamcan9208 he said drop it several times if you have a brain and think about your kid you will comply well i don't expect that thing think and the police saved that unborn child from that thing.
I remember speaking to my friends uncle who is an officer probably 7 years ago or so about body cams. He told us the problems he had with them were that the battery didn't last a full shift so you couldn't leave them on and that they took a few minutes to actually turn on and start recording, I'm not sure if that is still the case or not.
@@jcarver69 sure it’s a problem solved by a trigger on your belt equipment. If you forget the video will turn on automatically if you unclasp your sidearm or taser. Another thing is to have dispatch monitor it. If your on the scene with your camera off you get a warning and they remotely trigger it
@@hibarikyoya854 we have but there’s limits to battery energy density while remaining safe not to mention the physics of it. Imagine a cellphone battery that could power a car for a moment. Basically it’s like a full tank of gas condensed into a little 3x4 inch square. That thing would be a bomb. I don’t know if you’ve seen a Tesla go up in flames but batteries unlike gasoline can burn by themselves because of how they work the fuel air mixture that gas requires exists within the a battery. So it can combust and burn by itself. Now imagine that Tesla car battery fire attached to a little camera on your body.
This proves why body cams are needed. It doesn't only catch the corrupted cops, but it also protects good cops like this guy. Without this evidence, could you imagine how much more difficult his life could be after using the tazer?
@@HuheJass if I remember correctly the officer was holding the lady at gunpoint until backup arrived. If the other officer had their firearm out then that gives the officer with the body cam to switch to non-lethal. Now if the women tried to attack the officer when he had his taser out then the other officer would have to shoot the women with the knife. I'm only saying this off of what I remember so if I said anything wrong feel free to correct me.
@@itzyoboydex nope I think you’re right! He doesn’t switch until he knows the other officer has a gun on her, at which point he switches to taser, gives her one last warning, and drops her like the brick she was threatening people with before lol
@@HuheJass read the caption at 1:41. That's protocol of probably every PD, if the suspect has a lethal weapon, there has to be at least one officer that's also lethally armed
He waited because if the taser failed to connect and work, it could have made the situation worse. Thankfully, he had another officer come in to cover him with deadly force while he used less than lethal force.
You need to watch the video again. He initially had the gun drawn, he later changed to his Tazor (1min 45secs into the video). He couldn't change from Gun to Tazor any earlier until his colleague arrived to assist.
The officer gave her many chances to simply drop that knife. Then, after her willful decision to not comply, he dropped her. Perfectly done. Thanks Officers.
Great outcome but it definitely wasn't perfectly done. The two cops didn't coordinate at all, which led to both of them pulling non lethals out. At the end, nobody had an actual gun pointed at her just two tasers
I love how after falling to comply with the officer,being told to drop the knife, and being tasered, she STILL has the audacity to go "so your kidnapping me now?!?" What a total dingbat
@@tommygaga7117 the tazer deescalated the situation quite successfully. The police officer just shouldn't have to repeat the command to drop the knife more than once. By doing that, he displayed 103 seconds more patience than I would have.
He's wrong. Repeating the same command over and over again makes the person less obedient. He needs more training. Not shaming him, just saying. I get he's a nice person, but you must act before things escalate. Sometimes tazers fail, some people are so high on drugs and alcohol, or mentally ill that they can withstand even a bullet to their head.
I know this is serious but the way she dropped after being tased actually made me chuckle. Either way both cops handled it as they should have. Props to them
Honestly this cop is one of the good ones. He gave her around FIFTY WARNINGS before tasing her. If you don't comply you aren't giving the cops much of a choice. She had more chances to comply than most people get. Mad respect to this officer we need more like him. Edit: correction, 25 warnings exactly. I guess some people don't understand exaggeration.
Amazing how, even with clear audio/video, you manage to twist the truth and exaggerate. She did not get “FIFTY warnings”. You demonstrate exactly how misinformation is spread by laziness
You do know that the video game sound effect is supposed to sound like switching what weapon you're holding, right? The sound in real life came before the video game sound lol
The fact that the Officer bought himself time until his colleague arrived to get her attention so that he could’ve switched to a non-lethal weapon says everything about the training of that county’s police department. Well done.
@@19Frank12 well it’s smarter to use the more effective weapon to deter any more bad decisions from the perpetrator, and to also prevent harm to anyone else close by. Tasers are unreliable
@@UnkownUser2001 In a situation where nobody was harmed but you seem to have an armed person in an undefined irregular psychocologial state the police's task is not to kill them but to prevent or minimize harm done to anybody, including the armed woman. I do not see how preparing to shoot a firearm in a crowded area like Walmart would achieve that. Tazers might sometimes be unreliable but just like guns, which can clog, they are regularly examined by the police and you expect them to work. That argument makes no sense as you are basically saying I'd rather want to be sure to shoot the person than risk to fail in solving the confrontation with non-lethal force. Entering a confrontation with the highest escalation level will largely increase the risk of violence. Pointing a gun at somebody will make you their enemy while negotiating and still being able to incapacitate them will make cooperation more likely. Police is supposed to enforce public safety for everybody, not to eliminate confused and potentially dangerous individuals. There is enough footage of police in other countries defusing confrontations with gunmen or other armed persons without any violence, or non-lethal violence like batons, peppers pray or tazers. Almost all of these countries have lower crime rate, lower incarceration rate and lower casualties on both sides compared to the US. Seems to be working. And don't get me wrong. A (trained at least) attacker with a knife is extremely dangerous, especially at close range and I sure would want to ensure I'm getting out alive. But that's true no matter what I wield and claiming that immediately going for lethal force would be the right decision is irrational
The showed part of this video on Twitter. In that version, he says, drop the knife once , and then he tased her. People went crazy saying he had no right to do that, he only warned her once. I knew there had to be more. Thank you for telling the whole story.
I don't have the patience to be an officer, I would have akimbo'd up the taser with the pistol and tased after the 2nd warning. Well handled and well resolved, props to the officers.
“She’s just standing there…. *MENACINGLY* “ Also, good job for the other cop coming in for assistance so thing didn’t have to get bloody. Thanks law enforcement
She's standing there I realized she was just a Karen trying to make history. Who's to judge from her entitlement When she refused I know we both agreed. That Karens are entitled but in the end it has to end this way!
I like how she talked like “No” like she was the one making the rules, YOUR BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT WOMAN He’s not holding back because he cant shoot you its just that this cop has a patience of a saint.
That man had all the patience in the world, he did everything he was supposed to do and then some. I hope we can all agree this is the proper procedure. Good on him for being a good example
This cop tried to de-escalate as much as possible and kudos to him, cause I hate to say it as a former corrections officer you really cannot de-escalate sometimes.
I think that he did a really good job toward the end lowering his voice and calming the situation. Much better than most cops I’ve seen. I do think there was probably more that could be done. Still holding the non lethal saying things like “what’s going on? What’s the problem? Are you okay?” And stuff speaking to her, and I think shouldn’t have come in yelling esp once there were no civilians right around her, but I don’t blame the cop because we don’t even teach almost any deescalation tactics here like they do in other countries. Overall he did a pretty good job. I think making sure she wasn’t deaf or has a heart condition would be good before gazing but it doesn’t sound like she was deaf. But yeah this is prbly in the top 5% in terms of deescalation in the videos I’ve seen from America.
Pointing a gun at someone and shouting is hardly a de-escalation attempt. She was just standing there not being visibly aggressive. If this officer’s EQ was higher than 50, he would have asked her nicely and probably gotten what he asked for, before pointing his gun at her face.
@@brachson I think it was a tazer. At least it wasnt a gun. I have pretty low standards as an American lol. For an American cop, they are taught NOT to deescalate in training. it's not a bad job for an American cop. Many would just come out shooting or ask once then shoot. You're right it's not really too much of a deescalation tho. Should've calmly talked to her from further away with no weapon at first "what are you doing? How are you feeling? Are you okay? Could you drop the knife for me please?" Etc
I have to give that woman a "10" on her back dive. She never arched her back on the way down, had her toes pointed and hit a perfect landing. Knocking over the display added extra credit to the degree of difficulty.
To anyone who said the police officers could have handled the situation by trying to talk to her to determine her mental state, I say this.. she was told by both officers 27 times and yes I actually counted to drop the knife. Since these men and women put their life on the line in the course of doing their job and you are sitting in your lazy boy watching a video on TH-cam, why don’t you try to reason with a crazy who is holding a weapon and not listening to you. At the end of the day police officers ARE still human beings and want to go home to their families and loved ones.
It says right in the video he was waiting for another officer to arrive. As soon as she did you can hear the change in his voice when he gives one final warning.
This is a professional cop right here he warned her several times and smoothly and efficiently switched to the taser and made sure everyone was in a safe distance it made a proper arrest when back up arrived
@@ethanabecasis4579 Sure parts of the media makes it seem so, but vast majority of peoples issue isn't with police officers -- its with the justice system as a whole and lack of accountability when an officer is in the wrong. It's really that simple.
These body camera are not only there to provide the officer with accountability, but also to protect him in case of false accusations. It has also provides great great training tools to those at academies.
Believe or not the ACLU is complaining about body cams (their reason given which i don't believe is the only one) because it allows cops to get their story "straight" instead relying on their memory which guess defense lawyers could trip them up. Oh how i so love watching someone levy false accusations and get nailed due to a body cam
@Tourmaline Brown Not the same. When people film the police it's usually after a situation has escalated. A lot of times it looks like a cop shot someone out of nowhere, or they sent a dog after someone because he didn't do what the cop said the first two times. Even worse, some people edit those videos and release them just to get a reaction from people. With a body cam, the entire situation including what lead to the escalation is recorded. And the police will only release it with the full context. There have been times when even news agencies edit out parts of the video that shows a suspect holding a knife. Sean reed livestreamed himself running from police on facebook, leading to him getting shot after dropping his phone/camera while running away. People were outraged that police shot an unarmed back man that was running away. The media fanned the flames for weeks until police investigation uncovered that he drive by shot into peoples houses for fun, that for 3 frames in his video you can see his gun in his waistband, and that in the cops body cam he literally died shooting at police. I'm not saying that recording police is bad, but it is nowhere near as good or unbiased as police bodycams. There are countless times I've seen people recording police, screaming at them that the man they're holding at gunpoint and trying to arrest did nothing wrong. When in actuality they're doing a felony traffic stop, where they know the guy is dangerous and likely armed. Because they know who they're arresting and are looking for him specifically, or they just ran his plates. Or the guy had just finished running away from a previous crime and the police caught up to him. Don't even get me started about 3 recording bystanders screaming "HE ISN'T RESISTING," when 3 cops combined effort can't even get the guys hands behind his back. It just plays on your feelings to make a situation look way worse than it is.
When a policeman acts the way he should, it's very admirable. the patience, work and coordination to reduce the person without doing more damage than necessary is applaudable.
I love that people are still shopping and walking around as if a Cop isnt screaming with a taser raised and a Lady has a Knife . Yep just another day at Wal-Mart
It’s called drugs. Something you should NEVER do. Our society really glorifies this stuff though so it’s not really something to consider unusual anymore unfortunately
He asked her 25 times (yes, I counted) before he tazed her to drop or put down the knife. Then once after he tazed her for good measure. I'd say she was sufficiently warned.
This is exactly how every officer needs to act, I bet there are people saying she didn't do anything but that is wrong she had a weapon in hand and wasn't listening to orders it's her own fault for walking around Walmart with a knife in hand
Well that's not really against the law. So what exactly is she doing? Of course we don't know what happened before that. But if all she's doing is caring a knife, Walmart sells those. So it's obviously not illegal.
@@keithwatson8228 if she was just holding the knife because, as you are saying, she is in a store that sells them, she would have put the knife down as she was told or she would have tried explain why she was holding it. She is holding a weapon. She is a moving danger and if the officer had the same thinking as you, she could have easily hurt herself or others. So no, it's not legal to run around the store with a knife in a store and the officer warned her several times. He had the right to do it, to keep save all the other people in the store. She doesn't look like a sane person who " just holds a knife because she can do it "
I do believe the video indicates she removed the knife from the packaging so yes that's not permitted. Walmart does sell knives but they all have covers/packaging to prevent injury. Too much risk of injury/lawsuits to sell them open.
I couldn’t really hear her that well, but I bet she didn’t listen because she knew the consequences for her would have been pretty bad. The only way to delay it would be to just stand there and ignore the commands to avoid the punishment for a second longer.
This officer did an absolutely fantastic job for the situation he was presented with. Holding her at gunpoint until backup arrived and his clear headed thinking in recognizing the opportunity to switch to a non lethal option is perfect. Well done.
Isn't that something, she was a threat to everyone in that store , having a Butcher knife and yet the officer restrained himself from shooting her, Mmmm🤔
Non-lethal? A tazer? Im not so sure. I mean I guess its not certain death, but... Not so sure its "non-lethal" (Edit): I- .... I ... I get da point :| OH .... I see now, people think I'm with the crazy wamen with a knife in hand... No, I just saw somewhere that tazers could easily cause a cardiac arrest.. thats all ಥ_ಥ So I deduce that Tazers are not really lethal to a healthy individual and is "less-lethal" to u n h e a l t h y a n d o l d p e p o l. So hows' your day been goin? b(￣▽￣)d
@@shaolonmonke2791 the definition of lethal is literally "sufficient to cause death". Considering a taser is very unlikely to kill you it is considered as unlethal
@@shaolonmonke2791 What's the point of semantics like that, can I call a lego piece lethal if someone steps on it and it leads to the falling down the stairs and hitting their head? everything is lethal if we're so picky
Problem though is you can't tell if she's pregnant or just obese, and there have been a ton of cases where a perp holding a knife after being tazed end up falling on the knife and it going straight into the gut.
@@BoopSnoot It's a tough situation because no matter what you do there's danger. It makes sense to direct the danger in the direction of the perpetrator if anywhere, so this force is justified imo. If they don't tase her and try to approach her to disarm her then she may attack and injure an officer (easily fatally). If they wait for her to come to her senses (deescalate) then she could decide at some point to throw the knife, or who knows what (maybe run), and hurt someone (possibly a bystander). There's really no clean solution when people decide to create problems and martyrdom.
Reading the comments here reminds me of how incredibly ignorant some people are. This officer did a fantastic job. He took control of the situation, gave clear commands, waited until the right moment to switch to non-lethal, and then neutralized the threat without seriously hurting anyone. Idk what else people want. Edit: Because multiple people who clearly don't understand the basics of TH-cam are calling me liar, the negative comments get disliked enough that they are funneled to the bottom of the comments. Since this video has now been out for weeks, there are so many comments that finding them is going to be difficult since all the positive comments will appear first.
The officer has no communication skills at all! Lol repeating "put the knife down" over and over again made him look like a dumbfuq who didn't know wtf he was doing.
@@asilduin4594 That was a joke, pointing at all that idiotic stuff one can normally find within those YT comments sections. :-) Otherwise, I totally agree with your opinion on the officer's actions.
More cops like these please. Didn’t escalate the situation, switched to non-lethal when given the opportunity, gave many, many warnings and brought the situation to an end safely. ...and in a satisfying manner.
Tactically, the taser fails, or you miss with the taser, and the knife wielder can charge you while you try to transition to another option. That's why he kept a gun on her until his backup came. Once he had backup, he had options and was able to transition to the taser. Had she charged him at any point prior to his backup arriving, he would have been justified in shooting her. You are right, he did a good job, most cops would. You are also right that there are some cops who should have gone into another profession.
You just not understand that not all situations are like this? Of course, most should switch to non-lethal weapons but only when the officer has time to switch, thinks a lethal weapon would do the job, the criminal doesn’t have a gun, and everyone else around is safe.
@@johnjones_1501 finally someone who understands basic policing, also when people ask why police have so many guns pointed at one man with a knife, it's because no matter what they want superior firepower over the suspect
@@kimulvik4184 , that still took patience nevertheless. Waiting is to be patient. He could have handled that differently and it would have been considered just as efficient.
@@kimulvik4184 1. That and 2. You can see him switching the weapon after the subtitle states that he can switch to non-lethal after the deputy arrived, meaning he had a standard gun until that point
And he maintained a consistent tone of voice with her; he didn't start screaming at her or berating her. She doesn't seem to be in a right state of mind so any verbal hostility could have set her off and well... you know.
I personally think he should have pulled the taser out first since it's pretty irresponsible to aim a gun at something you don't fully intend to shoot, other than that he handled the situation perfectly
@@colbstinator no back up and tasers don’t always work. If he fires the taser while she rushes at him and one of the pins miss, now he has to pull out his firearm while she is already swiping a knife at him. She had a deadly weapon, he was alone, so he had his firearm drawn. 100% justified.
@@colbstinator it's a fair point, but i think the officer needed the weapon out incase the psychotic lady ran at him with that knife. As soon as the other officers arrived and the lady looked away, he felt it was safe to place his pistol back and switch out for the taser.
@@XxThePh4ntomxX I thought about that, and that's fair, but even with a taser out he still would have had the upper hand. If she ran at him, tase her, she's down. If she had a gun at her side, that would've been a whole different story, I would choose to have my gun out instead of my taser in that situation. You tase a person with a gun, they could tense up and pull the trigger
Doubtful. The description of the video talks about how she was making incoherent statements. She is likely suffering from mental health issues, like many people around the world are. But it is easier to make arm-chair statements about people you have never met versus acknowledging the issues they are facing.
Wrong! She actually woke saying I'm gonna wear shorts 5 sizes too small where they can't even zip up an inch 😂 followed with a bit of pondering how she's gonna get tased .
This officer was completely justified in his actions, he gave her multiple warnings to drop a deadly weapons, and following the use of force guidelines he safely neutralized the threat without putting any of the officers or bystanders life's in danger. Props to this officer for handling this well.
Nope I don't agree he had his firearm drawn ready to fire, there were all sorts of people in the store at the time if he missed and fired multiple times he can easily hit someone standing on the other side say in a checkout line or the subway ...
To those who say the officer is not justified, Exactly how would you diffuse the situation? (POV: Words don't work as we see here and the threat has a weapon with the intent to kill) Without even looking at the responses I can tell you would be wrong.
the officer did well, he stayed calm and gave her every oppertunity to co operate and descelate. He then switched to non lethal force once he had back up! nothing wrong with this. Well done officer!
You are 100% right. This was the proper way of dealing with this angry Karen yelling about high prices, or whatever it was that day that set her off. I'd handle my job like I was playing GTA V.
Something to keep in mind which the officer didn’t have much control over was his line of fire. Had the girl advanced on him before his partner showed and he opened fire on the suspect, there are multiple bystanders in the distance behind the suspect. In his line of fire
@@chuckem which is even more reason why holding her at gun point until back up arrived (which is probably department standard procedure) makes no sense in this situation. It took him 2 seconds to switch to the taser. The suspect was quite far from him and there was no one in knife range of her. What was she going to do if he switched to the teaser earlier? Through the knife at him like a ninja? This looks like a well trained officer following standard procedures but perhaps not adapting those procedures to the actual situation.
Wow. This was a real cop. The kind who cares about whether he shoots and kills someone or not. He gave her so many warnings and, as soon as he had the opportunity, he swapped to non lethal means. I’m seriously applauding this guy right now. That woman should be grateful she didn’t encounter someone who was more aggressive.
I’m pretty sure most officers won’t intentionally use a lethal weapon when dealing with something like this. I could be wrong but to me that seems like common sense
@@amaryllis9626 All it would've taken for that to become a reality was 2 steps towards this officer at any point in the video prior to switching to the taser, it would've been justified in my opinion but she was inches from death.
So much patience from the officer. Tasers don't always work (bad connection, some prongs not attaching, etc) so this was extremely brave of him as well! 10/10
He gets a C+ at best. He handled the situation with a good end result. But his conflict resolution skills are non-existent. Shouting only “drop the knife” is not conflict resolution. I’m happy with the end result of this incident, but based solely on objectivity, to say he handled the situation great is completely wrong.
I like how they didn't engage in her ridiculousness. Like when she accused him of being a machine (what it sounded like) or asked if they were kidnapping her, they didn't even acknowledge or answer it
Why would they? She’s pretty obviously mentally ill. Based on what she was saying, she may be schizophrenic or having a psychotic episode. Drug psychosis is another possibility
@@CeeBee781 definately having psychosis, Im a mental health nurse and she talks just like someone inna psychosis, she has lost her understanding of whats real and whats not.
Hard to agree with y’all, in nyc where I live cops harass, intimidate and use any means necessary to get an arrest. There’s a level of understanding here that’s not normally seen at all.
The other cop had flats. Maybe we need to give cops a more lax environment so they can think better. Don't take my idea politicians. And if you do... patent pending.
I think after the 12th time I'd mix it up a bit. Maybe "Drop the knife and we can talk." "What's going on?", "Why do you have a knife". "There is no good ending here while that knife is in your hand.", "We can't help you while you're holding that knife.", "If there is a problem, let us help you. But first you need to put that knife on the ground". You know... because if you told her to drop the knife 12 times and she hasn't... a 13th - 100th repeat is not going to make a difference. :| Other than that, yeah, kudos to the cop who handled this well.
1:50 I love how she was unaware of the officer exchanging his hand gun to the tazer, while the female officer kept her distracted...and he got the job done without injuries...well done 👍
I've watched this video a dozen times. It still breaks me up when I see her fall like a tree onto the floor. Hope she got a couple of years in jail, but I doubt she got more than a fine. Cops, risking their lives for what? A fine?
The patience this police officer displayed was incredible. He must have told her to drop the knife a dozen times before he tazed her. This video makes me appreciate the job our law enforcement officers do all the more!
@Daniel Garrett Yeah, the officer might’ve said it 7 or maybe 8 times. Hold on, hair number 100,231 just grew on my head, I gotta write that one down in the books!
I don't get how some people can be tased but yet keep functioning like normal but in this case she lost all control of her body so tensed up & fell like a tree being cut down.
@@GMBethHarmon Mentally ill or not, she was breaking the law. Seeing law breakers get justice is rewarding. Another scenario that is far more likely than mental illness is drugs. Drugs are a choice and the ramifications are well known. Do drugs and act a fool, have a talk with Mr. Sparky.
lots of persons who need treatment are roaming the streets, looking normal to you and me. if she was ordered to do a psyc exam by the judge she could be out of custody in as little as a few days
She seemed to have been intoxicated or in a bad mental state. The fact that he waits so long before taking action just shows the world that he’s one of the good cops we need. Props to that man.
Because people in their right mind don't do these things. The majority of encounters with people are this way. Over or under medicated crazies. Today's America.
The officer could have dropped her with his gun based on right wing theory. He has more patience then what right wing gun owners and cops would have done. They would have shot first and asked later... after all the answer for them is a a good guy with a gun. Too bad they didn't follow the right wing mantra... would have served as an example... I see a lot of folks pushing for the hard guns first response. Would have been interesting to see how they react to folks following their unspecified nonsense s6ance...
Not only was she a Florida women, but also at Walmart, and holding a knife. The most dangerous combo. Also the way she fell over after getting tasered was really satisfying for some reason lol
Have u seen the video of the officer trying to talk to a woman who crashed her car snd then was down on a beach? The officer told her to go back up the stairs and he went to follow her up, out of nowhere she turns and pulls a knife and slashed his neck, nicking his carotid artery. He is a true champion, he managed to immediately apply pressure, call for backup and help and chase her, I don’t remember if he stayed on her or if the other officers got her but he survived and the dr was shocked. We all think guns are the most deadly but a knife can kill you just the same. Knowing how close he came to death, the video is really intense
Few years ago police in Tallinn, Estonia shot the man who attacked them with a knife. It was first shooting in Estonia where police officers actually killed the offender.
He wasn't actually patient but something like that, he just was waiting for his buddy, and waiting for a moment where he could safely for him and nearby citizens switch from pistol to the tazer.
If I was holding the taser, I would have told her max 3 times. The fact the policeman was holding a GUN, changes the equation. He did an awesome job to change from gun to taser. If he had shot her, he may have been in trouble.

What color is the lady?
I like how at the end she asks the cops, “Are you kidnapping me?” Yes girl, totally. But in the real world, we call this an arrest.
I noticed that too. It reminds me of my Mom's dementia, which this lady may be suffering from. The mind can play terrible tricks on you. It's so sad. I'm glad they were able to apprehend her w/o anyone getting hurt.
Update: I've been told by @Some Rando that this woman's dementia was meth induced and she has kidnapping on her own rap sheet. Regardless, I'm still glad the police were able to apprehend her without bloodshed. I hope she can get clean and get the help she needs and be a better person.

I highly doubt someone can be so deluded by conspiracy theory and the rest, that they would say this. It’s moreso the case they are suffering from some sort of mental illness or under the influence. Tbh, I’m not sure how you didn’t get to this conclusion based on logic alone.
@@VenomOnPC Actually I was just being sarcastic. The fact that you took it that far and deep, shows that you put too much logic into it.
The fact that there are actually people in this comment section saying the cop didn’t handle the situation properly and he should have “de-escalated” the situation blows my mind. Telling a psycho in a Walmart that’s threatening people with a knife 25 times to drop it is more than sufficient. Easy to complain how he handled this when you’re watching it through a screen. Try being the cop.

I agree. I think he handled it perfectly. So many things could have gone wrong. There were other customers in sight. Let me see someone else try and handle this situation so smoothly without anyone getting hurt. Ugh. These Internet warriors 🤦♀️ I tell ya.
Drunk with liberty and freedom.
Exactly! Plus you'd be surprised at how quickly people can close the gap between you and them - she could have ran at him at any point. Being tasered was the kindest way to handle this woman tbh.
The officer gave her exactly 30 warnings. No-one can say that he wasn't being fair while still being extremely cautious. Just so sad. What is going on with people today??
Tazers can be unreliable. Hes smart for trying to get the knife out of her hands first. Hes very level headed dealing with a dangerous uncompliant. Forget about whether hes fair on not, this was a knife wielder he was dealing with.
People know the country is imploding and are acting out.
Perceived "special" status. This only happens when you think you're specially entitled to different treatment to everyone else.
She was waiting for him to tell her 31 times, then she’d comply🤔🤔
Clear case of excessive force😉😉🤣🤣
Orders, he shouted the same order at her thirty times.
The only mistake I saw the officer make was that he didn't call "timber" before tasing her!🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is why bodycams should be readily available and deleting or closing it should be prosecuted it not only protects civilians but officers
I remember speaking to my friends uncle who is an officer probably 7 years ago or so about body cams. He told us the problems he had with them were that the battery didn't last a full shift so you couldn't leave them on and that they took a few minutes to actually turn on and start recording, I'm not sure if that is still the case or not.
They were at Walmart anyways they got a million cameras in there lmao
@@jcarver69mmm interesting but I would imagine in 7 years they've made improvements but who knows
@@jcarver69 sure it’s a problem solved by a trigger on your belt equipment. If you forget the video will turn on automatically if you unclasp your sidearm or taser. Another thing is to have dispatch monitor it. If your on the scene with your camera off you get a warning and they remotely trigger it
@@hibarikyoya854 we have but there’s limits to battery energy density while remaining safe not to mention the physics of it. Imagine a cellphone battery that could power a car for a moment. Basically it’s like a full tank of gas condensed into a little 3x4 inch square. That thing would be a bomb. I don’t know if you’ve seen a Tesla go up in flames but batteries unlike gasoline can burn by themselves because of how they work the fuel air mixture that gas requires exists within the a battery. So it can combust and burn by itself.
Now imagine that Tesla car battery fire attached to a little camera on your body.
The officer displayed good control of this situation. It's a shame to see such a deadly drug like meth destroying people
This proves why body cams are needed. It doesn't only catch the corrupted cops, but it also protects good cops like this guy. Without this evidence, could you imagine how much more difficult his life could be after using the tazer?
He’s not gonna get in trouble for tazing someone with a knife….it’s killing/lethal force that people go crazy over
@@HuheJass if I remember correctly the officer was holding the lady at gunpoint until backup arrived. If the other officer had their firearm out then that gives the officer with the body cam to switch to non-lethal. Now if the women tried to attack the officer when he had his taser out then the other officer would have to shoot the women with the knife. I'm only saying this off of what I remember so if I said anything wrong feel free to correct me.
@@itzyoboydex nope I think you’re right! He doesn’t switch until he knows the other officer has a gun on her, at which point he switches to taser, gives her one last warning, and drops her like the brick she was threatening people with before lol
@@HuheJass read the caption at 1:41. That's protocol of probably every PD, if the suspect has a lethal weapon, there has to be at least one officer that's also lethally armed
Agree! Good cops need the protection of this equipment too. This officer did a great job here.
I can't believe how many times he asked her before he tazed, talk about patience , what a nice officer.
He waited because if the taser failed to connect and work, it could have made the situation worse. Thankfully, he had another officer come in to cover him with deadly force while he used less than lethal force.
ikr. Imagine this being in China
He was waiting for his back up
You need to watch the video again. He initially had the gun drawn, he later changed to his Tazor (1min 45secs into the video). He couldn't change from Gun to Tazor any earlier until his colleague arrived to assist.
Super police officer, much love to you my officer you’re so amazing.👍👍👍👍👍❤️💙
The officer gave her many chances to simply drop that knife. Then, after her willful decision to not comply, he dropped her. Perfectly done. Thanks Officers.
Drop it, or be dropped.
Nice, you watched the video.

Great outcome but it definitely wasn't perfectly done. The two cops didn't coordinate at all, which led to both of them pulling non lethals out. At the end, nobody had an actual gun pointed at her just two tasers

Let's be honest, that cop had more patience than most of us would've had
Right
U would've killed her?
Repeating a command rather than trying to deescalate the situation? Yeah, patience. That's what it must be.
@@tommygaga7117 the tazer deescalated the situation quite successfully. The police officer just shouldn't have to repeat the command to drop the knife more than once. By doing that, he displayed 103 seconds more patience than I would have.
He's wrong. Repeating the same command over and over again makes the person less obedient. He needs more training. Not shaming him, just saying. I get he's a nice person, but you must act before things escalate. Sometimes tazers fail, some people are so high on drugs and alcohol, or mentally ill that they can withstand even a bullet to their head.
I know this is serious but the way she dropped after being tased actually made me chuckle. Either way both cops handled it as they should have. Props to them
I laughed hysterically
It goes to show we can all look tough before getting tased. I laughed too.
Same, it mean but I couldn’t help it.
Ok, me too lol 🤭

Honestly this cop is one of the good ones. He gave her around FIFTY WARNINGS before tasing her. If you don't comply you aren't giving the cops much of a choice. She had more chances to comply than most people get. Mad respect to this officer we need more like him.

The fact that the Officer bought himself time until his colleague arrived to get her attention so that he could’ve switched to a non-lethal weapon says everything about the training of that county’s police department. Well done.
Its part of protocol
@@rookie693 which is my point…
Well, in other countries cops would not need to switch to the tazer at it would be what they initiate with, not a potentially leathal firearm
@@19Frank12 well it’s smarter to use the more effective weapon to deter any more bad decisions from the perpetrator, and to also prevent harm to anyone else close by. Tasers are unreliable
@@UnkownUser2001 In a situation where nobody was harmed but you seem to have an armed person in an undefined irregular psychocologial state the police's task is not to kill them but to prevent or minimize harm done to anybody, including the armed woman. I do not see how preparing to shoot a firearm in a crowded area like Walmart would achieve that. Tazers might sometimes be unreliable but just like guns, which can clog, they are regularly examined by the police and you expect them to work. That argument makes no sense as you are basically saying I'd rather want to be sure to shoot the person than risk to fail in solving the confrontation with non-lethal force. Entering a confrontation with the highest escalation level will largely increase the risk of violence. Pointing a gun at somebody will make you their enemy while negotiating and still being able to incapacitate them will make cooperation more likely. Police is supposed to enforce public safety for everybody, not to eliminate confused and potentially dangerous individuals. There is enough footage of police in other countries defusing confrontations with gunmen or other armed persons without any violence, or non-lethal violence like batons, peppers pray or tazers. Almost all of these countries have lower crime rate, lower incarceration rate and lower casualties on both sides compared to the US. Seems to be working. And don't get me wrong. A (trained at least) attacker with a knife is extremely dangerous, especially at close range and I sure would want to ensure I'm getting out alive. But that's true no matter what I wield and claiming that immediately going for lethal force would be the right decision is irrational
She's gonna argue that she just wanted a price check on a hunting knife. She was shocked at the price.

Good one!🇺🇸⚔🇬🇪
Clever, lol.....

Perhaps the price fell while she was holding it.
The showed part of this video on Twitter. In that version, he says, drop the knife once , and then he tased her. People went crazy saying he had no right to do that, he only warned her once. I knew there had to be more. Thank you for telling the whole story.

Cops have the patience of saints. I would have just shot her after the fifth time saying “drop the knife.”
In her defense, she looked like she was stuck in a K-hole and operating at about 5% of normal speed so she wasn't exactly an imminent threat.
This cop tried to de-escalate as much as possible and kudos to him, cause I hate to say it as a former corrections officer you really cannot de-escalate sometimes.
I think that he did a really good job toward the end lowering his voice and calming the situation. Much better than most cops I’ve seen. I do think there was probably more that could be done. Still holding the non lethal saying things like “what’s going on? What’s the problem? Are you okay?” And stuff speaking to her, and I think shouldn’t have come in yelling esp once there were no civilians right around her, but I don’t blame the cop because we don’t even teach almost any deescalation tactics here like they do in other countries. Overall he did a pretty good job. I think making sure she wasn’t deaf or has a heart condition would be good before gazing but it doesn’t sound like she was deaf. But yeah this is prbly in the top 5% in terms of deescalation in the videos I’ve seen from America.
Pointing a gun at someone and shouting is hardly a de-escalation attempt. She was just standing there not being visibly aggressive. If this officer’s EQ was higher than 50, he would have asked her nicely and probably gotten what he asked for, before pointing his gun at her face.
@@brachson I think it was a tazer. At least it wasnt a gun. I have pretty low standards as an American lol. For an American cop, they are taught NOT to deescalate in training. it's not a bad job for an American cop. Many would just come out shooting or ask once then shoot.
You're right it's not really too much of a deescalation tho. Should've calmly talked to her from further away with no weapon at first "what are you doing? How are you feeling? Are you okay? Could you drop the knife for me please?" Etc
@@sjk7467 I’m not an expert, but it looks like swapped the gun for the teaser only at 1:47.

To anyone who said the police officers could have handled the situation by trying to talk to her to determine her mental state, I say this.. she was told by both officers 27 times and yes I actually counted to drop the knife. Since these men and women put their life on the line in the course of doing their job and you are sitting in your lazy boy watching a video on TH-cam, why don’t you try to reason with a crazy who is holding a weapon and not listening to you. At the end of the day police officers ARE still human beings and want to go home to their families and loved ones.

Oh how i so love watching someone levy false accusations and get nailed due to a body cam
@Tourmaline Brown Not the same. When people film the police it's usually after a situation has escalated. A lot of times it looks like a cop shot someone out of nowhere, or they sent a dog after someone because he didn't do what the cop said the first two times. Even worse, some people edit those videos and release them just to get a reaction from people. With a body cam, the entire situation including what lead to the escalation is recorded. And the police will only release it with the full context. There have been times when even news agencies edit out parts of the video that shows a suspect holding a knife. Sean reed livestreamed himself running from police on facebook, leading to him getting shot after dropping his phone/camera while running away. People were outraged that police shot an unarmed back man that was running away. The media fanned the flames for weeks until police investigation uncovered that he drive by shot into peoples houses for fun, that for 3 frames in his video you can see his gun in his waistband, and that in the cops body cam he literally died shooting at police. I'm not saying that recording police is bad, but it is nowhere near as good or unbiased as police bodycams. There are countless times I've seen people recording police, screaming at them that the man they're holding at gunpoint and trying to arrest did nothing wrong. When in actuality they're doing a felony traffic stop, where they know the guy is dangerous and likely armed. Because they know who they're arresting and are looking for him specifically, or they just ran his plates. Or the guy had just finished running away from a previous crime and the police caught up to him. Don't even get me started about 3 recording bystanders screaming "HE ISN'T RESISTING," when 3 cops combined effort can't even get the guys hands behind his back. It just plays on your feelings to make a situation look way worse than it is.
Until they turn them off when it suits them.
When a policeman acts the way he should, it's very admirable. the patience, work and coordination to reduce the person without doing more damage than necessary is applaudable.
only because she wasn't of color

This is how police operate in normal countries.
true but sad tbh, this should be the bare minimum for every police in an ideal world

Well that's not really against the law. So what exactly is she doing? Of course we don't know what happened before that. But if all she's doing is caring a knife, Walmart sells those. So it's obviously not illegal.
@@keithwatson8228 if she was just holding the knife because, as you are saying, she is in a store that sells them, she would have put the knife down as she was told or she would have tried explain why she was holding it. She is holding a weapon. She is a moving danger and if the officer had the same thinking as you, she could have easily hurt herself or others. So no, it's not legal to run around the store with a knife in a store and the officer warned her several times. He had the right to do it, to keep save all the other people in the store. She doesn't look like a sane person who " just holds a knife because she can do it "
I do believe the video indicates she removed the knife from the packaging so yes that's not permitted. Walmart does sell knives but they all have covers/packaging to prevent injury. Too much risk of injury/lawsuits to sell them open.

I couldn’t really hear her that well, but I bet she didn’t listen because she knew the consequences for her would have been pretty bad. The only way to delay it would be to just stand there and ignore the commands to avoid the punishment for a second longer.

This officer did an absolutely fantastic job for the situation he was presented with. Holding her at gunpoint until backup arrived and his clear headed thinking in recognizing the opportunity to switch to a non lethal option is perfect. Well done.

If they wait for her to come to her senses (deescalate) then she could decide at some point to throw the knife, or who knows what (maybe run), and hurt someone (possibly a bystander).

That was a joke, pointing at all that idiotic stuff one can normally find within those YT comments sections. :-)
Otherwise, I totally agree with your opinion on the officer's actions.
She fell like a Lego 💀
More cops like these please. Didn’t escalate the situation, switched to non-lethal when given the opportunity, gave many, many warnings and brought the situation to an end safely. ...and in a satisfying manner.
Yeah I agree but I would also like more cops that let me dip after speeding
Tactically, the taser fails, or you miss with the taser, and the knife wielder can charge you while you try to transition to another option. That's why he kept a gun on her until his backup came. Once he had backup, he had options and was able to transition to the taser.
Had she charged him at any point prior to his backup arriving, he would have been justified in shooting her.
You are right, he did a good job, most cops would. You are also right that there are some cops who should have gone into another profession.
tazers dont work as good on baggy clothing. sometimes not at all. so its easier said than done sometimes.
You just not understand that not all situations are like this? Of course, most should switch to non-lethal weapons but only when the officer has time to switch, thinks a lethal weapon would do the job, the criminal doesn’t have a gun, and everyone else around is safe.
@@johnjones_1501 finally someone who understands basic policing, also when people ask why police have so many guns pointed at one man with a knife, it's because no matter what they want superior firepower over the suspect
This cop was actually very patient he must have said drop the knife like a million times 😂
“Drop it.”
“Drop it.”
“Drop it.”
“Put it down.”
“Put the *knife* down.”
“Drop the knife NOW.”
He told her to drop the knife roughly 25 times I counted I have no life
(26 including the one after he tased her)
So million times mean he's still saying it
Reminded me of asking my 2 year old do something. Literally have to say it this many times
Legend has it. That the cop is still standing at the same spot at Walmart and still saying "Drop the knife" ...
Just remember: No matter how bad things might be, for you, at least you aren't getting tasered by cops in a Wal-Mart.
I'd rather live in a first world country even if that means I get tased in a wall mart
Amen Captain. And thank you for my loudest laugh today. You are so right.
Thanks for the encouragement my friend!!

@@LaLadybug2011 In some places, you'll be stabbed by a security guard or loss prevention officer. Such Puerto Rico, Brazil, Mexico, or Albania.
People like this woman never learned how to play Simon says. She couldn’t obey, so she rode the light, love it !!! 😅
After him asking 25+ times to drop the knife she still wouldn't. This cop has the patience of a saint
I counted too. You’re precise, plus one more command as he was tasing her. She still had to be told to “drop the knife” after the initial tase.
Not patience. He was waiting for backup because he didn't want to be alone in the arrest. As soon as his colleague showed up he tased her.
@@kimulvik4184 , that still took patience nevertheless. Waiting is to be patient. He could have handled that differently and it would have been considered just as efficient.
@@kimulvik4184 1. That and 2. You can see him switching the weapon after the subtitle states that he can switch to non-lethal after the deputy arrived, meaning he had a standard gun until that point
And he maintained a consistent tone of voice with her; he didn't start screaming at her or berating her. She doesn't seem to be in a right state of mind so any verbal hostility could have set her off and well... you know.
The way she just stands there and looks at the cop talking to her is baffling.
Like some sort of feral cat.
Clearly she is having a mental episode have some compassion
She must be really crazy
@@ariespretty1 lock people like that up
Drug or mental
I don't see many more better ways this officer could've handled the situation. Well done.
She didn’t dropped the knife but she sure dropped like a bag of potatoes ounce taser was deployed
I personally think he should have pulled the taser out first since it's pretty irresponsible to aim a gun at something you don't fully intend to shoot, other than that he handled the situation perfectly
@@colbstinator no back up and tasers don’t always work. If he fires the taser while she rushes at him and one of the pins miss, now he has to pull out his firearm while she is already swiping a knife at him.
She had a deadly weapon, he was alone, so he had his firearm drawn.
100% justified.
@@colbstinator it's a fair point, but i think the officer needed the weapon out incase the psychotic lady ran at him with that knife.
As soon as the other officers arrived and the lady looked away, he felt it was safe to place his pistol back and switch out for the taser.
@@XxThePh4ntomxX I thought about that, and that's fair, but even with a taser out he still would have had the upper hand. If she ran at him, tase her, she's down. If she had a gun at her side, that would've been a whole different story, I would choose to have my gun out instead of my taser in that situation. You tase a person with a gun, they could tense up and pull the trigger
I am positively shocked by that officer’s actions!
So was she!
BU DU TSSS 🥁
She woke up saying “I’m gonna get tased for no benifit of my own today” and boy did she accomplish her goals. Inspiring.
Doubtful. The description of the video talks about how she was making incoherent statements. She is likely suffering from mental health issues, like many people around the world are. But it is easier to make arm-chair statements about people you have never met versus acknowledging the issues they are facing.
Wrong! She actually woke saying I'm gonna wear shorts 5 sizes too small where they can't even zip up an inch 😂 followed with a bit of pondering how she's gonna get tased .
That’s one of the most funny comments here well done ✨🌼🎶🌸🥗🍄🥂💐🧘♀️💐🥂🍄🥗🌸🎶🌼✨

This officer was completely justified in his actions, he gave her multiple warnings to drop a deadly weapons, and following the use of force guidelines he safely neutralized the threat without putting any of the officers or bystanders life's in danger.
Props to this officer for handling this well.
@@WyzrdCat nah you’re trolling this isn’t real
Nope I don't agree he had his firearm drawn ready to fire, there were all sorts of people in the store at the time if he missed and fired multiple times he can easily hit someone standing on the other side say in a checkout line or the subway ...
To those who say the officer is not justified,
Exactly how would you diffuse the situation? (POV: Words don't work as we see here and the threat has a weapon with the intent to kill)
Without even looking at the responses I can tell you would be wrong.
@@firenhell02
"With the intent to kill".
You have no idea what her intent was... Shut up.
@@WyzrdCat bruh the “innocent” girl was high out of her mind with a knife in Walmart. Ppl get killed all the time by crap like this.
the officer did well, he stayed calm and gave her every oppertunity to co operate and descelate. He then switched to non lethal force once he had back up! nothing wrong with this. Well done officer!
You are 100% right. This was the proper way of dealing with this angry Karen yelling about high prices, or whatever it was that day that set her off. I'd handle my job like I was playing GTA V.
Only US, in developed countries in Europe, the police would not have used such idiotic violence.
Something to keep in mind which the officer didn’t have much control over was his line of fire. Had the girl advanced on him before his partner showed and he opened fire on the suspect, there are multiple bystanders in the distance behind the suspect. In his line of fire
She howled like a rabis dog when she got electrocuted 😂😂 some people are just really simple in head 🤦🏻♂️
@@chuckem which is even more reason why holding her at gun point until back up arrived (which is probably department standard procedure) makes no sense in this situation.
It took him 2 seconds to switch to the taser. The suspect was quite far from him and there was no one in knife range of her. What was she going to do if he switched to the teaser earlier? Through the knife at him like a ninja?
This looks like a well trained officer following standard procedures but perhaps not adapting those procedures to the actual situation.
“PUT THE PHONE DOWN” “This is for my safety” ahh moment
Wow. This was a real cop. The kind who cares about whether he shoots and kills someone or not. He gave her so many warnings and, as soon as he had the opportunity, he swapped to non lethal means. I’m seriously applauding this guy right now. That woman should be grateful she didn’t encounter someone who was more aggressive.
Agreed
I’m pretty sure most officers won’t intentionally use a lethal weapon when dealing with something like this. I could be wrong but to me that seems like common sense
@@amaryllis9626 All it would've taken for that to become a reality was 2 steps towards this officer at any point in the video prior to switching to the taser, it would've been justified in my opinion but she was inches from death.

This cop gets A+ in handling this situation! God Bless him!

He gets a C+ at best. He handled the situation with a good end result. But his conflict resolution skills are non-existent.
Shouting only “drop the knife” is not conflict resolution.
I’m happy with the end result of this incident, but based solely on objectivity, to say he handled the situation great is completely wrong.
@@Bigmikeystan thanks, armchair policeman. We bow to your wisdom.
@@ItsMotoMatt not a police man, but I do teach conflict resolution for serious incidents.
He sure does, straight to the taser when he got the chance......nice job to the cop

I like how they didn't engage in her ridiculousness. Like when she accused him of being a machine (what it sounded like) or asked if they were kidnapping her, they didn't even acknowledge or answer it
maybe if your so crazy you cant drop a weapon when told by a cop you cant reason with them, but hey im just a guy with braincells left unlike you.
Why would they? She’s pretty obviously mentally ill. Based on what she was saying, she may be schizophrenic or having a psychotic episode. Drug psychosis is another possibility

The other cop had flats. Maybe we need to give cops a more lax environment so they can think better. Don't take my idea politicians. And if you do... patent pending.
I think this cop is a robot. no cops in my country ever repeat like thousand times after a criminal not obeying lol.
@@gigasflare He had to, in order to allow time for backup to arrive.
I think after the 12th time I'd mix it up a bit. Maybe "Drop the knife and we can talk." "What's going on?", "Why do you have a knife". "There is no good ending here while that knife is in your hand.", "We can't help you while you're holding that knife.", "If there is a problem, let us help you. But first you need to put that knife on the ground". You know... because if you told her to drop the knife 12 times and she hasn't... a 13th - 100th repeat is not going to make a difference. :| Other than that, yeah, kudos to the cop who handled this well.
Officer: Drop the knife
Woman: No
Officer: Fine I’ll drop you instead
1:50 I love how she was unaware of the officer exchanging his hand gun to the tazer, while the female officer kept her distracted...and he got the job done without injuries...well done 👍
Well duh, they don't enjoy shooting women like her as much as they like sl@ught€ring others.

That was one of the most rewarding tazes I've seen on the internet. The look on her face was priceless.
I don't get how some people can be tased but yet keep functioning like normal but in this case she lost all control of her body so tensed up & fell like a tree being cut down.
Why is it rewarding? She wasn't even responding coherently to him.
This is almost certainly someone who's mentally ill.
@@GMBethHarmon Mentally ill or not, she was breaking the law. Seeing law breakers get justice is rewarding. Another scenario that is far more likely than mental illness is drugs. Drugs are a choice and the ramifications are well known. Do drugs and act a fool, have a talk with Mr. Sparky.

The majority of encounters with people are this way. Over or under medicated crazies. Today's America.
Did according to books. Held at gunpoint until backup arrived. When had backup covering with gun switched to taser and took care of business.
The officer could have dropped her with his gun based on right wing theory. He has more patience then what right wing gun owners and cops would have done. They would have shot first and asked later... after all the answer for them is a a good guy with a gun. Too bad they didn't follow the right wing mantra... would have served as an example... I see a lot of folks pushing for the hard guns first response. Would have been interesting to see how they react to folks following their unspecified nonsense s6ance...

Have u seen the video of the officer trying to talk to a woman who crashed her car snd then was down on a beach? The officer told her to go back up the stairs and he went to follow her up, out of nowhere she turns and pulls a knife and slashed his neck, nicking his carotid artery. He is a true champion, he managed to immediately apply pressure, call for backup and help and chase her, I don’t remember if he stayed on her or if the other officers got her but he survived and the dr was shocked.

If I was holding the taser, I would have told her max 3 times. The fact the policeman was holding a GUN, changes the equation. He did an awesome job to change from gun to taser. If he had shot her, he may have been in trouble.
