Why would you come at someone with a knife if he is holding a gun? Unless the guy using the gun is invading your home and you are catching him off guard this is just suicide.
You sure are.I'm a muslim
No, I'm kidding, I'm a dick
Not everyone has the same moral code and has different weights and priorities on different aspects of their lives.taking a knife to the heart is the morally superior thing to do?
as long as you put enough AP into Perception and Agility you will have a 100% chance to make these shots.Depends where you shoot them. Headshot? You fucked up. In the leg? All good.
and this thread is a demonstration that moral relativism is a one way ticket towards getting a knife in the heart.Not everyone has the same moral code and has different weights and priorities on different aspects of their lives.
John is a former Christian pastor. He’s not mentally ill.
We need a real life V.A.T.S. Elon should stop fucking around and make one.as long as you put enough AP into Perception and Agility you will have a 100% chance to make these shots.
That's not moral relativism.and this thread is a demonstration that moral relativism is a one way ticket towards getting a knife in the heart.
That's not moral relativism.
And yet you support people that riot and loot because police did exactly what you're saying you'd do.If someone comes at me with a knife, I will shoot them and not feel the least bit guilty about it.
Am I making a judgement on which is better? No. Am I making an assessment of what is "right" or "wrong"? No.![]()
this is literally what you said. "Not everyone has the same moral code" ie. there is no objective morality and all these different viewpoints are equally valid.
you could have spoken your own morality, what you would do in this situation. instead you point at Jainists, Jesus, and "someone who prioritizes US law" as three different codes, with none of them privileged above the others.
i'm sorry, that is moral relativism. you have refused to take a stance and instead want a survey of different moralities.
Futhermore, how you think me saying "Not everyone has the same moral code" is the same thing as saying "there is no objective morality and all these different viewpoints are equally valid." is quite a reach.this is literally what you said. "Not everyone has the same moral code" ie. there is no objective morality and all these different viewpoints are equally valid.

Life has an instinctual drive to protect itself. Never seek to do harm, but you have every right to protect the beat of your heart.
Having said that, I don't own, and never have owned, a gun. And I won't ever do so. For me, it is a symbol of distrust - warranted or not. (not talking about hunting weapons) To have the best possible world, faith in one another is a prerequisite imho. Something will kill me - maybe another person, but I won't participate in any type of corrosion against hope in my fellow beings.

Or are we only allowed to shoot after we've been stabbed to death?

Dems support it and you support them so by extension you support it.Please show me where I said I supported rioting and looting.
Evil exists. No amount of wishing or hoping or trust will ever change that.
Dems support it and you support them so by extension you support it.
I meant the dem politicians. "People are gonna do what they do", "Mostly peaceful protests", "Summer of love", etc... I could go on, but you get the picture. They clearly condone that behavior because they think it serves them right now. Why is every democrat run city a shithole? Shouldn't black people be thriving in those cities with the way dems say they want to help them so badly and that everybody else is racist?A few do. Most of us do not.
A knife is a gigantic equalizer, even a 40kg woman can kill an heavyweight ufc fighter with a knife with relative ease, nobody would risk that.
You can try to shoot a leg instead of the mid section but the police is trained to do that and they almost never do that because it's still too risky.
Whoever tells you that he's not gonna shot is a moron or a guy with zero self-preservation.
If i have a stun gun or rubber bullets and the guy is distant enough i would try that before, but not if the guy is very close to me.
If I had a gun handy I’d shoot to kill people for far less then coming at me with a knife. If I felt I was in any danger that’s that and I’d sleep like a baby.
This video? Joke town. Amazed how long it took those cops to end it, unreal levels of restraint. He should be dead immediately after not responding to the first demand to drop the knife. I’d say no response within 5 seconds is more then fair.
Why couldn't one of the police officers at least try a taser with the partner using the gun as back up?
Ask yourself, did either of them have a taser? Does Philly PD have the scratch to equip all officers with a taser?
I just watched the police shooting and well ........ yeah the police did not handle it well.
The whole situation was apparently mishandled. The family requested medical help, not police. The police were not equipped to handle the situation.

Sorry, but this is not how a human should think. If you would kill someone "for far less than holding a knife", maybe you should seek help in regards to your world view if you'd kill someone for coming at you with a carrot.
Spend less money on guns, more money on tasers? There's a start.
If Australia can afford to equip officers with tasers and guns, I'm sure America can too.
Even a gun is not a guaranteed way to stop someone advancing on you. Like to see you step up and handle the next one. Show us how it's done.Spend less money on guns, more money on tasers? There's a start.

So buy a Taser instead of a gun for officers? Then when the taser doesn’t work, due to suspect on drugs, darts don’t penetrate, suspect wearing thick clothing, or a multitude of other things, now the officer is in fatal striking range of the suspect with a knife, since you have to be fairly close to use the taser, and the cop gets killed. Somehow I don’t see that being the answer.Spend less money on guns, more money on tasers? There's a start.

Why is it that self aggrandizing peons always think they get to tell other people what’s right and what’s wrong? You want to get beaten to death because “he wasn’t carrying a knife?” You do you pussy. Don’t come at me with I’ll intent unless you want to haunt me from whatever imaginary afterlife you plan on living.
Thanks for demonstrating you don't understand how American cities are run.

Lol'd at the edit. 'Mate, could you hand me that knife?' *BANG BANG BANG*Legally justified and morally obligated.
Edit: unless you gave them a justifiable reason to come at you with a knife.
Shooting the leg is worse:

Donut Operator did a good video on how tasers don't always work and how quickly a knife wielding man can get on you:
1. Lock all doors and set the house on fireI live in a 4 story home. If someone breaks in the first and my cams and motion sensors alert me I'm calling the police.
I'm sitting on the third floor waiting on them to get there. If someone steals something and leaves then the police get the tape. If they make it to the third floor they're fucked. I wouldn't think twice, blink, or try to wound them.
How many british cops do you need to block a guy with a machete?

Joking aside, a couple of guys squeezing the guy with a knife with plastic shields seems the safer option to get the job done without victims.
