Gardai acting quite aggressively

[blackjack]

@glasagusban

Do. A Google will throw up numerous examples from the UK of police subduing people with knives. It often makes the papers and the police are commended for not acting like the vigilantes they call police in the US.

My own view is that 15 Gardaí should be able to subdue a guy with a knife without shooting him dead.

Are there any examples of Gardai subduing people with knives without shooting them or any examples of UK police shooting people with knives per chance?

Or are you just using examples that suit your narrative…

@BruidheanChaorthainn

Doesn’t anybody that goes waving a knife around the place have some sort of mental health issues nowadays ?

Its like when people who are caught doing something “fell in with the wrong crowd”. Nobody ever is “the wrong crowd”.

This “suit your narrative” phrase is one of the most overused and misunderstood phrases on TFK.

What I posted were examples that demonstrate that it’s possible for police to subdue a person that is attacking them with a knife or sword without shooting them to death.

Quite simple.

Defending his death? What does that mean?

Saying someone shouldn’t be killed is not the same as defending them.

You may not agree with that but it’s a fact in this country because we don’t have the death penalty.

We also have a right to use reasonable force(in this case lethal) to protect ourselves no more so than our Garda units. This is the real world the one you, count von… pause count and the imbecile publican refuse to accept. There would be two dead yesterday if the Gardai shared the same thought process as fuck heads like ye but thankfully they don’t.

Agree to disagree.

15 Gardaí should be able to subdue one man with a knife without killing him.

None of your ranting and raving will change that.

[blackjack]

What do you say about these examples then @glasagusban?

[blackjack]

Avoiding the question I see. Carry on.

The intelligent general public are behind their actions 100% and all your liberal wailing wont change that which is all that matters.

Your the one following me around, you want to thoughtfully take on my posts since last night go right ahead please do. If you are incapable of doing so which clearly you are then fuck off.

But what can they actually do when tasing doesn’t work? Charge him and risk getting stabbed?

Snide little quips from the cheap seats? Ya that’s why I stopped taking notice of you here over a decade ago.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Why wouldnt tasing or pepper spray work?
are there ways of shooting someone in a non lethal way too?
