Police shoot knife thrower

Just wanted to make sure you were ok, CHUB.

Who takes knives to a gunfight?

Pitty they didn't kill him.

I thought they were supposed to shoot for the legs/arms when it's not super-duper life threatening

Guns > knives

i c the police in california just shot an arsonist

we should do the same here

lol nub forgot to jump while runnin with the knife

Really? I've always heard police were trained pretty much to only ever shoot to kill (or at least, shoot for the chest region, because its the big target)

no u shoot at the gun/knife and make it fly out of their hand. that looks so cool.

Yeah I've always heard it as If you pull your gun you shoot to kill.

got to go with trog i think, i've never seen paper targets at a gun range that had legs on them.

Jack Bauer would've caught the knife thrown at him and throw it back at the said knife thrower

To avoid being shot or zapped, do what the police say and don't throw knives.

not to mention that shooting at the arms or legs, you could miss and hit somethign that you weren't supposed to hit (like an innocent bystander).

lol, gatton

my first thought was 'OH NOS THAY GOT CHUB!?!!!1'

Plus if you shoot them dead, less chance of litigation.

anyone who is trained to use a firearm is trained to shoot for center mass, you don't shoot to wound.

its the same reason why cop guns dont have safties... if the weapon is drawn their ready to kill

BAHAHA i thought this too before i entered the thread

I thought they were supposed to shoot for the legs/arms when it's not super-duper life threatening

i don't know about anyone else but i immediately thought cops had shot a carnie

if the weapon is drawn their ready to kill

Back in my security days, when I was armed, were taught by the police trainers to shoot to kill, none of that knee capping crap. That way when it comes to going to court, it's your word against a corpse.

'guns for show, knives for a pro'

Pwn movie.

That quote reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" when they're in the VR simulator and Lister is an expert with knives :)

HAHAH Parabol. Perfect!

He was throwing very sharp knifes at a baby...
