You dont have to be a cop to be justified in using lethal force . Let me guess you are those types that THINK they would tackle someone who is armed with a knife because they have MMA training ? Well that is bullshit . I have been thru 200 hours of force on force training and even using marking knives in quite a few instances . Not once has a instructor said to use hand to hand techniques to disarm someone with a blade unless it is the absolute last resort . The thing to remember is 21 '. An attacker can cut you in one lunge if they are within 21 '. Also it takes about 35 minutes to bleedout if a blade cuts an artery . Would you really risk that because you think you are a badass ? I would hope not . <| sep |> she even promised .
