Do you think if the person is holding a knife, cops should use tasers rather than their guns?


The shocking video of a 21 y/o Non-Binary LGBT Pride Leader MURDERED by a cop has outraged the parents!!

21 y/o Scout Schultz, a Georgia Tech Student was shot dead by campus police late Saturday after he approached the police holding what appears to be a knife and the parents don't understand they didn't use the taser!!

They have now hired L Chris Stewart to represent them ahead of the investigation where the video shows campus cops telling Scout to drop the weapon with several warnings as the tense footage shows Scout getting closer and closer shouting "Shoot Me!".

One of the cops said "Nobody wants to hurt you" before shots ring out and Scout falls to the ground screaming in pain..

A press meeting will be held to see if the officers had training to dealing with mentally ill students as it's unclear what illness Scout had.

His father said his child preferred to be referred to as "they" and "them" rather than gendered pronounds and had been holding a "tiny knife".

The Georgia Tech Campus Police got a 911 call of a person holding a knife and a gun on Saturday night.

Scouts motheer, Lynn said they were a "nonconformist, and very very bright who had a lot of empathy for other people"

Scout was also president of the school's Pride Alliance, an organization for LGBTQ Students and Allies. They released a statement that said "We love you scout and we will continue to push for change"

Scout was studying engineering and had plans to go to grad school with a career in biomedical devices. They were born male but non-binary means they don't identify as male or female.

Do you think police should use tasers if someone is only holding a Knife?

Scout - Deceased

Sounds like suicide by cop. But I absolutely believe cops should use tasers or rubber bullets instead of lethal force, especially for those who aren't using guns.

those liars
zero reason for lethal force here. if you can't handle that situation without pulling your gun, you have no business being a cop. full goddamn stop.
Boom! That's right, this is all happening! You cannot change the channel now!
Act now! Venchmen are standing by for your orders!

No such thing as non-binary. If you can't figure it out, pick the gender that matches your genitalia. Problem solved.

knife = deadly weapon

gun = deadly weapon

Hard to say without knowing how close he was to the cops. If they felt they didn't have much time, they'll react instinctively and grab whatever is fastest and most efficient. You don't always have the luxury of having the time to think the situation out clearly and make plans.

Though the fact that they had enough time to tell him that they didn't want to hurt him suggests they did have some time to work with. Eh, I'm not a judge and don't have the information to make the call.
I used the knife. I saved a child. I won a war. God forgive me.
A knife is a deadly weapon and I can see the cops fearing for their lives upon him approaching a certain range. Problem of using a taser is that it may not necessarily stop the threat.

adult holds a weapon when they approach a cop
cop warns several times to drop it
they refused so the cop opened fire


rule of thumb if a cop says drop your weapon you better listen

and about gun vs taser he got a report of a gun wielding suspect so of course he would grab his gun.

once he and they were at a standoff he could not just say dont move while i swap out my weapon
dont know why I even have one of these

Did they try holding L1?

the TC question does not fit the story:
late Saturday after he approached the police holding what appears to be a knife and the parents don't understand they didn't use the taser!!

Fair, learn not to F*** around with the police.

Holding a knife and approaching a cop after they tell you to drop it is 2 different things!

The police aren't obligated to let themselves be harmed.
I am the catata fish.
Tasers don't always work. Rubber bullets don't always work. Bullets don't always work either, but they work more reliably than the former two options. And if you have a psycho with a knife coming at you, I will bet fucking anything you will go with the option that has the best chance of saving your life every time.

And anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or a fool who will change their mind immediately should they ever find themself in that situation.

I don't see why being mentally ill matters. It's still a deadly weapon. It's still intent

I am on the side of the cops here actually...

"They have now hired L Chris Stewart to represent them ahead of the investigation where the video shows campus cops telling Scout to drop the weapon with several warnings as the tense footage shows Scout getting closer and closer shouting "Shoot Me!"

Sorry, taser's don't always stop someone this person (clearly deranged) continued to approach in a threatening way. The cop is not obligated to try to non-lethally save the crazy person that MIGHT actually stab them...

I wouldn't call it murder because he was coming at them with a weapon, but I don't feel that police should always resort to lethal means, this being one of such occasions. Do they even bother with tasers and pepper spray anymore?

The problem is that the only effective means at STOPPING the threat are typically lethal. The police shoot to stop the threat. Killing is an afterthought.

If they had arrested this person instead, would they have had to find a non-binary cop to do the pat-down?
Why didn't they just shoot the knife out of his hands?
Should have dropped the knife

Impractical to do so. It is a small moving target and the likelihood of missing is high. Aiming for the center of mass is recommended since shots there are effective at stopping the threat and it is relatively easy to hit.

It reasonable to respond to someone holding a weapon with deadly intent with deadly force.

That's crazy close to where I live. I have several friends who go to that school.

But I can't feel bad when it's as if this person basically asked for it.

Do you even realize how quickly you can die from knives? They're lethal. You don't meet lethal weapons with non-lethal weapons. That's just ridiculous.

Don't bother. Last time there was a topic about someone doing a suicide by cop, someone actually said the words "The cops should have shot the knife out of his hand!", and people actually agreed with him.

That's what you're trying to argue against. People that don't even understand the fundamentals of the thing they are bitching about.

Shoot the knife... out of his hand...

The gender is irrelevant, a knife is a potentially lethal weapon so its a justified shooting.

Come on guys, the father said it was only a "tiny knife". I mean, sure, you can kill someone with something as small as a razor blade, but it was a "tiny knife".

Cops are allowed to shoot someone if they have a knife within 20 feet charging at them iirc >_>
