Graphic video. I can't believe they didn't shoot the knife out of her hands like they do on tv

As fast as that officer was backpedaling, I am glad he didn't trip or stumble.

Pretty big kitchen knife.

its kinda hard to shoot that precise when running backwards from a GREAT big kitchen sword

Thanks for the link - that was indeed a good shoot and shows just how fast events can unfold. Also shows (at least to me) that a person will react on instinct/training more than thought when it hits the fan.

Oh yeah, a recent episode of Blue Bloods had a reporter asking the Commissioner why the cop didn't just shoot the gun out of the guys hand.

Lol... Some folks think a bullet has a homing device in it.

There isn't any ambiguity in that shoot.

Don't think he had many other choices to end that situation. She was coming at him hard.

It appeared to be a really good shuffle step he had going there. Keeps you from getting your feet crossed and tangled.

It appears that his training kicked in very quickly. He must have had some adrenaline dump after that situation.

In one of my post-CHL classes we practiced engaging the target while doing a backwards "Groucho Walk".
