These are some of the most unhinged comments I’ve ever seen.
A man stabbed two innocent people in an area prone to terrorist attacks (police officers are aware of this). He was tasered but kept holding the knife firmly, and there was no way to know what he might have had hidden on his body. In 99% of the countries in the world (even the ones you may view positively), that terrorist would have been shot dead.
Instead of praising the incredible work of these officers, who risked their own lives to save strangers, you two chose to attack them. And yes, don’t come with the nice talk claiming you didn’t attack them. By saying they should have treated the terrorist more gently, you are in fact attacking the entire police force that would have done exactly the same thing, because it was the right decision.
“He had been tasered. What happens when people are electrocuted?”… “I don’t agree with kicking mentally ill people in the head”… Now get out of your fantasy bubble and watch a real world video:
... these comments can only come from someone who hates what is good and feels sympathy for what is bad. It’s like Stockholm syndrome embodied in a person
The need to feel sympathy for murderers (and would-be murderers) is so strong that you didn’t stop to consider that, in certain situations, electrocution is not enough to immobilize a person. Some people with high adrenaline levels, who have used CNS-stimulating drugs, or are experiencing a psychotic episode, may maintain full or partial control of their body even after being electrocuted. Even when struck by firearm bullets, some may remain in control for several seconds.
He fell after being shocked, but there’s no way for the officers to know how much control the criminal will have over his body. That’s why police must take additional actions beyond using a taser. If the suspect is still holding his weapon (a knife) after being electrocuted, officers MUST do whatever is necessary to take that knife from him in the safest way for themselves. And kicking proved to be an effective way to achieve that.
It’s incredibly easy to find videos and news stories of people who were electrocuted or even shot multiple times and still kept going. You wanted these officers to risk their own lives even more just to provide gentle treatment to someone who would have killed them if given the chance.
You can deny it, and you probably will, but people like you feel sympathy for criminals and resent those who try to help others, without even realizing it.
