Lets say yer the copper..and you got a crackhead with a knife and he won't drop it.
the Sgt has one of three tazers in the division....doughnut anyone?
it's -25 and your pepper spray doesn't work
Now the duchbag is heddin out of the ally / side street onto one of the most populated streets in Canada
WHAT DO YOU DO???
1.- yell drop the knife a hundred and one times?
2.- Say! hey!"you dropped your crack"... giv'em a slap and snatch the knife?
3.- Make the news with a bullet humm?
OH! on a side note
how much decision time do you think the cop had?
(HEY! look a parking post that should do the trick!)
all this cop wanted to do was knock the douchebag down...the parking post was a bonus.
