#1 This is a perfect example of the predicament law enforcement has today because of the left. Discouraging people from using firearms to defend them selves from physical assault.

If a person can get on top of another person and straddle them at the chest level, with knees in the armpits to immobilize the arms, the victim cannot reach the belt area, let alone move to deflect blows to the head. That position is a checkmate position in wrestling.

Police have deadly weapons that are now accessible only to the person assaulting the officer in that position.

Police officers, to protect themselves and the public from an assailant from access to those weapons on his belt must be able to use deadly force against the assailant if the assailant begins an unarmed at the moment, physical assault in hopes of overpowering the officer and getting access to those weapons.

#8 #6 ....and the reason you/we didn't read of it back then was because it was a black man shooting another black man? Doesn't fit the narrative for political gotcha?

#9 Russell was not charged as the state attorney's office believed the shooting was justified as a cop's life was in danger

I'm happy to hear it; now if they only reacted this way when civilians' lives are endangered.
