Not a good look.
Probably should go watch the actual video: https://dailycaller.com/2024/03/11/ryan-gainer-video-deputy-fatally-shooting-15-year-old-boy-autism/?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral
He's told to drop it, and literally chases the officer out of the house with it trying to kill him. Bodycam from 2 angles.
Edit: Ok, I read the article. Yeah, him charging at the cop with that tool was a really bad move. I still think the situation could have been handled differently. Could have.
Tasers, batons, or just run away. Diffuse the situation. Imagine a judge saying "You charged against a cop with a gardening tool? Sentenced to DEATH!"
The boy didn't get a fair trial. He was murdered with no justification.
There was a video posted on reddit, where a cop got stabbed in the neck and died because he was slow to shoot, batons are worthless
lol batons aren't worthless.
I'll believe you once you manage to out-fence an assailant with a sharp-edged weapon with your worthy baton
You never know! I may not be able to, but what if I may?
It seems like you're saying that batons are worthless for this situation, which may be true.
But your original comment seemed more general, as in "batons are worthless [all the time]," which is not true.
