Reply to comment by Vivid-Construction93 in Police shot Gilford teen allegedly armed with a knife within two minutes of arriving, call logs show by SweetFeetLivingston

I think if the cops are called, and some kids running around with a knife, there’s definitely drugs involved.

My only problem with nuance being gifted to law enforcement, is that nuance is not gifted to law breakers in reciprocation.

As for the knife thing, grappling with someone who has a weapon isn’t a whole lot different from grappling with someone who doesn’t. If you’re close to the person and have an underhook on the armed arm, there’s not a lot of leverage for them to kill you with. Definitely hurt you, but then again, there’s a bunch of other guys around you to help out…or how about this: PCP may be able to beat a taser, but not the physics of non-lethal projectile weapons, which exist.

Ehhh i understand that to a degree on the lawbreakers end but i think i mostly understand your sentiment. As far as the knife id say that also very much depends on the knife and your argument involving a bordering required circumstance of getting the underhook theres not much stopping you from catching a blade to the throat or another vital area

True, especially if the person is very tall. But still, rubber bullets. For fucks sake, they knew where they were going, and for what purpose. If someone were to tell me that there’s not a gas that’s been devolved that they could just launch in the window and go fetch him up, I would be flabbergasted.
