What a bunch of live ins. A knife is a very deadly weapon, if it hits a artery you are probably dead unless EMS shows up in a timely manner. All it takes is one stab and your dead if it hits something vital.
The result of consooming too much vidya and movies where the characters routinely survive curve-bladed stabs and the knife gets yanked back out the way it came.

Ah the ever popular "just sneek up and disarm them bro, no chance you or anyone else can be fatally wounded in that. It's not going to escalate things honest" take. Plus of course we have Johnny dipshit with his "fire a warning shot" take without thinking of where a stray bullet might end up (plus the fact it would be illegal).

I think the first poster needs to preface their "I totally disarmed a load of dudes who were running at me with deadly weapons" with the fact it was in a video game and they haven't left their mother's basement in 5 years.
 
Grab her you absolute fucking idiot
She had a knife, dumbass, and if you grab someone with a knife you have no idea if they will stab you with it or not.

...her ability to stab me at that angle seems pretty unlikely to hit anywhere serious
Where is this armchair doctor getting their information? She could stab you in the arm or the chest, and those are places you don't want to be stabbed, or you could get stabbed in the neck and your carotid would be severed. There's a reason cops don't run up to people with knives.

tl;dr - Armchair lawyers doing their thing while circlejerking over how evil cops are. Never change, ResetEra. Never change.
 
I can't watch the video but it was tots preventable you guys.View attachment 2105430
"Disarmed a man with a sword and an axe." Come on. Everybody knows whatever literal LARP mall ninja shit story behind that is dumb bullshit. Probably talked down an over-Mountain-Dew-ed obese friend with master replicas of Lord of the Rings weapons from pretending to off himself.
 
"If you are carrying a firearm, why not just fire a warning shot?"

I only got basic safety training with firearms and never fired one or trained to be a cop, but isn't there a chance that the 'warning shot' may hit one of the other people at the scene? Wouldn't that be a VERY BAD thing especially if you probably have to shoot the threat anyway, meaning that the injury was avoidable? The reason why I say this is because I'm assuming by 'warning shot' they mean a shot aimed at nearby dirt or the ground which may ricochet or bounce or something. But they may be implying that bullets shot into the air disappear instead of injuring someone far away, meaning any EMS showing up would have to find and treat them as well.

Typing it out makes it sound like any warning shot seems unnecessary compared to just shooting and neutralizing the threat but SURELY ResetERA wouldn't talk about things they don't understand fully like me, right?

Warning shots are illegal almost everywhere and I can tell you without going into power levelling that all serious training tells you not to do it. Pure Hollywood shit.

Naaahh, what're you talking about. It's not like warning shots could warn them of danger and make them more likely to do what warranted the warning shot, thus making it a detriment should the next shot not be lined up after. Next you're gonna tell me that semi-fully automatic magazine-clips 'don't exist' and 'shooting in the legs could result in hitting an artery and killing them'. I'll trust The Experts™️ on ResetERA that have watched people play games that have guns in them thank you.
Really though this ignorance of warning shots on ResetERA does make me really scared that the defund the police crowd could get those laws undone.
 
These are the peers part of "jury of your peers".

We're fucked.
I'd appeal on the grounds those smooth brains are a long way off being my peers.

In reality though after yesterday's verdict I'm resigned to the realisation that yes reddit, twitter and Ree are in fact representative of the current generation and that's fucking scary.

Just remember fellow Kiwis look after your health and kill yourself before you become too infirm to do so otherwise you're going to be in a nursing home with these screeching idiots, a load of cockles deranged men and a generation of nonwhite nurses who were taught with everything rinsed through critical race theory looking after you.
