Man wielding hammer shot and killed by police

This is exactly the same thing O'Neil and Luckett went through when Mike had to shoot the douchebag with the box cutter. Coleman was saying he could kick the knife out of his hand....blah..blah..blah.

The FOP did a reinactment at the Lodge and invited the press. They had reporters in paint suits and Eddie Napier and Curtis Calhoun were handcuffed and with a red marker to simulate a knife disembowled every reporter armed with a sim gun.

Don't let these armchair quarterbacks have their say. This perp was a threat to the people in the area and to the Officers. He made the classic mistake of bringing the wrong weapon to a gunfight.

To the citizens of our community. We will defend your life and our own. Some people may not like the results, but how much crap would be going on if we weren't there to respond to maniacs like this? Until someone invents the Phaser set to stun like on Star Trek we have to use the tools that we are provided.

The Tasers weren't effective nor was the OC. He chose his path to enlightenment, not the Officers on the scene. Had he simply followed the multiple verbal commands the Officers would not have been forced into the situation they were.
