What Is An Ammo Allotment ?

Public outcry for federal investigations, a "community review board" of the shootings, and upcoming classes on interpersonal communications and disarming knife-wielding suspects without using your firearm.

Sounds like a load of crap. The average "Fed" or citizen has no real idea of what it's like to be a street cop. The sole mission of that kind of thinking is to head hunt cops.

Interpersonal communication might work upon occasion...If the perp is inclined to talk. Usually that is not the case.

Disarming a knife welding suspect without usuing your firearm...Well I ain't gonna die with my weapon in the holster.

I had a relative...Now deceased...That worked for Atlanta PD. He had to kill three violent offenders in his career. Atlanta is a tough city that requires tough cops. He was one.

Wow, I miss florida. I really wish people would stop complaining about incidents like this and actually take an armed self defense class and realize what police officers actually go through. My instructor in the class gave me a very valuable piece of advice: "A knife is a deadly weapon and can kill you just as easy as a gun, so if a person pulls a knife on you don't hesitate to shoot them, the one thing they will learn is to not bring a knife to a gun fight".

As far as I'm concerned, if the perp has anything in their hand the cop should give the standard "drop it" warning and if the perp charges, blast'm.

I also think every cop in America should have a taser and taser training.

I've heard they don't drop everyone, but from the video's I've seen even some big, bad looking dudes drop like a granny on ice when that thing hits.
