Police Officer Shoots Crazed Knife Attacker

[tirwin1]

An excellent video that brings home just how little time a person has to deal with someone attacking with a knife. A cop was forced to shoot a woman who came after him with a knife. Unfortunately she was able to strike him a couple of times before he shot her.


Personally I think he should have shot her before she got that close to him but my guess is either department policies or fear of political repurcussions made him hold back until she actually started slashing him.

The crazy lady with the knife was a former georgetown basketball player so of course the usual crowd is insisting this is murder. I feel sorry for the poor cop.

That point was driven home at every training session we had for the 30 yrs I was in LE. Via various staged re-enacted vids, there were no body cams at the time.

First time I watched this vid, it started in the middle. Just watched the begining and that cop should have shot long before she touched him with that knife.

Thank heavens for body cams, or they'd be spinning this into George Floyd 2024.

And then of course insult to injury;

Georgetown under fire for honoring Sydney Wilson, former player who slashed cop with knife in fatal shooting

Wilson played for the Hoyas from 2010-13. She appeared in 31 games in her senior season and averaged 6.5 points per game.

He did an ok job in this IMO. He let the suspect get way too close and should have shot her 10-15 further away. Also should have dispatched the situation if able to quicker. He should have been scanning for other threats as well. Easy to say sitting here.

I'm not upset about the deceased. Is there something wrong with me?

This country is upside down.

Low SA (backed into a dead end) and forgot the 21 foot rule, which is still too close to initiate a kinetic response, IMHO.

Damn, she came out of the door ready to rock.

Perhaps there were some illegal substances in use?

Knocks on door and huge woman answers with a shiv in hand and he asks "How are you?".

But, but, but, why didn't he shoot the knife out of her hand!?!?!?!?!?!?

We have all seen the 27 foot attack for officers in training. I always wondered why an NYS officer could consider a person with a knife, coming at them or not at distance, a threat and use deadly force while the NYS citizen receives only 6 feet to deal with the same situation.

Where does it say we have 6 feet to deal with a knife attacker? We have a duty to retreat but never heard the 6 foot rule.

Feel free to provide the section of law that states 6 feet.
I'll wait.

Precisely why it's been taught...."you made one mistake: you let me get too close."
