There was no risk to the public here.

The dude running after a woman with a knife wasn't a danger to the public?

Seriously?

A domestic violence incident. I mean the wider public.

Was this person not someone who deserved to be protected?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 day ago

That's my point. They killed the person they were there to protect.

The police had already shot him though. You'd think that would satisfy your thirst for punishment.
