multiple police officers fired several bullets at the kid who was wielding a knife. They just got tasers for that exact scenario. :acab-3:

    the US is far preferable to europe in this regard

    in the US you can at least purchase weapons for yourself

    in europe they'll just accelerate the police state while keeping the civilian gun laws the same

      counter-point: Americans are either insane far right types who side with the cops, or lobotomized libs who aren't going to do anything with guns anyways

        Fake fentanyl is our best weapon against the police. Always have a handful of powdered sugar ready to throw in the air for a quick getaway as they lay writhing on the ground

        "Among men of all races, ages 25 to 29, police killings are the sixth-leading cause of death, according to a study led by Frank Edwards of Rutgers University, with a total annual mortality risk of 1.8 deaths per 100,000 people"

        This is an article from 2019, I imagine things have gotten worse but not sure if that has happened by an amount that would change this.

          Our models predict that about 1 in 1,000 black men and boys will be killed by police over the life course
