Behave yourself. That woman was more at risk of having a heart attack than stabbing a police officer.

I think you're trolling this one, but you're doing a poor job of it.
Go study Barbos. He's the master troll here. PM him and become his understudy.

I don't mind the police shooting this woman in this instance. I would mind it if two or three of the officers empties their entire clips into her.

Is this because the 200 pound officer that shot the woman is black and the victim not so black? Is that what is going on here?
You look at the person who was shot, an overweight, short, middle aged woman who was not exactly nimble on her feet, you’re telling me that the several, burly, trained police officers could not overpower her?
I’ve had him on ignore for years. Surprised he still receives any attention tbh.

- Extremely biased against all forms of bullshit, including superstition and science denial. Oh, and lots of right-wing bullshit too.
You dirty woke moral purist.
It's. Their. Fucking. Job.
Why should Ambulance drivers work on a Saturday night? Why should firefighters risk their lives containing a burning building? This really is a fucking moronic argument you are making.
I also find it very difficult yo believe New York cops aren't equipped with slash proof vest, tasers, chemical spray and are given training on how to subdue a middle aged woman. If that's true, then NYP standards have taken a fucking nose dive since I was there last in 2018.

Taking dumb and avoidable risks? Hell no.
Sure, they'll put themselves in harms way if there's no other option. That is part of the job. But if there's no need to be brave, there's no need to be brave. Doesn't the lady have any responsibility in this? She could have not threatened the cops with knives. How about that scenario?
You don't seem to have much respect for our uniformed members of society.
Firefighters have specialist equipment just for that situation. They still don't take dumb and avoidable risks. Getting killed on the job is extraordinary for firefighters.
I don't understand why you think working on a Saturday is comparable to a close encounter with a kitchen knife?
I will chose to believe that they would have used those if there was an opportunity to do so.

It shouldn't be that risky if they received adequate training. These situations almost never seem to involve any human to human communication. Yelling, barking, screaming.
Police Officer: I tried escalating the situation and things got worse!
And there is a difference between thinking a shooting isn't necessary verses the shooting being criminal. Better Practices are always worth investigating.
If you don't think Saturday night is the most dangerous time for an Ambo I strongly recommend you actually talk to one. They can be in more danger than fucking cops for fucks sake. So as a wise man once said;

As English is a second language for you, it seems you don't understand the meaning of the word "brave". In order to be "brave" you have to take risks that will put you in danger. The woman was so low risk, bravery was not required. It would have taken her two business days to reach the officer that shot her. She looked more likely to trip over her own feet and faceplant than do any damage to any of the officers on the scene. If this was a young, well built male, then yes, things are different.
The woman was obviously having an mental breakdown. She wasn't in her right mind. It's a huge problem here in the USA.

You're so brave
Its a huge problem everywhere. Buddha famously pointed out that life fucking sucks. Some of us can't handle it. Its not going to stop

No doubt Buddha told you that personally.
