That turned more rant than expected. To be clear I think the officer feels bad about it. I think he would do things differently today. I don’t think he should be strung-up. However ASIRT should’ve placed the blame for using possibly the worst tool at his disposal. There should have been fault pointed out at his decision making. As I said so now in future incidents officers will be hesitant to use their knife as ASIRT deemed it impractical, when in fact it’s their best choice if they feel a firearm is unsafe.
Not sure if that concept came out of my last post.
