L.A. Police Commission Wants LAPD Officers to Run Away When Suspect Confronts Them with a Gun
From Daily Caller:
The Los Angeles Police Commission wants LAPD police officers to run away when a suspect confronts them with a weapon, warns the Los Angeles Police Protective League, the labor union of the city's police officers.
The organization posted a blog post critical of the commission's recent decision to find that fault lay upon an LAPD officer who used deadly force when a female suspect, Norma Guzman, came at him and his partner swinging a large knife.
"The key facts in this case are not in dispute. A female suspect, armed with an 8 to 9-inch knife, charged at officers, repeatedly ignored commands to stop, and was recorded yelling 'shoot me' as she swung her knife from side to side," the LAPPL Board of Directors wrote in a blog post.
The armed suspect immediately closed the space between her knife and the police officers from 70 feet to no more than 5 feet in less 10 seconds. At this point, the first officer shot from his service weapon.
The second officer (Officer C) involved in the incident only had three seconds to react to the forthcoming threat. The Commission stated, "It was reasonable for Officer C to believe, in the moment when the use of force occurred, that the subject would imminently assault him with the knife."
Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous?
We're losing our country one day at a time due to perception and PC nonsense.

Police Dept are promoting tactic that will get more officers killed and injured.
Even if you turn your back and "run away" a determined suspect can catch up to you.....then of course you can't outrun a bullet.
Always use original source.
