#4 More from PJ Media:

30 Police Officers Injured in Philadelphia Riot After Officers Shoot Armed Black Man

How many of those shot by police have turned out to be mentally ill and off their meds or mentally handicapped?

#7 Too many of these suicide by cop situations going on. Why couldn't they have had a beanbag cannon to knock him on his a$$?

#8 More crap for officers to lug around with them. Can't work as most of these type incidents do not occur with a set appointment.

#9 Because when an unarmed person with a knife is coming at you should shoot them in the leg.

Lot of drugs out there nowadays don't give a crap about bean bags.

The bolo thrower looks effective until the lawyers get involved.

#10 I understand but shooting the perp in the leg is another option in these situations. As opposed to firing a few dozen rounds into him.

#12 #10 WTF, are you and Joey serious?? You miss the legs, ricochet into an innocent person. What happens then? Oh, I get it you should have shot him center mass. Have you seen the videos of this and other incidents? You do not have minutes to analyze. You are lucky to get a second or two. Most officers have been trained to retreat and they do!

#13 I just saw Tab Hunter shoot a knife out of a guys hand yesterday. Ping!

#14 Sawed off shotguns? Then you can sort of aim for the legs. Call the perp Stubs later.

Yeah man, I lost the leg in Philly Afghanistan.

#17 Mentally ill, on drugs, open to suggestion but unlike during the Obama administration they can't get their hands on assault rifles.

#18 With Walt Wallace Jr. interred,
The plans of his clan were deferred,
But he left his wee son
Some advice: "Use a gun!
It's more fun, Walter Wallace III."

#19 From what I’ve read, most police can just about hit the broad side of a barn. Legs are for sharpshooters. A gun plus a taser is really about all they can handle in the middle of close situations, never mind a third option.
