My initial reaction to what happened with this man was one of disbelief and anger that the officer felt it necessary to use a large machine as a weapon on another human being! Next, as I watched the video, I reached another conclusion because I realized that the officer did better with this situation than many similar situations involving cops in 2016, which ended in most if not all, suspects being shot dead.
Yes, this incident is controversial because the officer used his car to block the man from advancing towards others with a knife in his hand. No, I am not saying that this would be 100 percent the correct maneuver to use in every case like this one. I am saying that at least this man; who was clearly in a confused state of mind, is alive versus being prepped to be buried six-feet-under.
Cops these days are caste as villains no matter what they do! Trust me, "I have my fair share of complaints about some of the horrific law enforcement related deaths that could have been prevented!" This was not one of those cases because the cop hit the man with his car simply to keep from shooting him dead.
