Cops get called to a report of some maniac waving a Katana around

Pop him with a couple beanbags and decide that walking away is better then trying to subdue him. Breath of fresh air from the portland police.

surely this has to be a happy ending, let's hope there's no body count that follows this guy. it also shows us how ineffective there 'non-lethal' rounds are against the average joe. it certainly raises my support to move away from nonlethals when it comes to violent criminals

So this is my take. This happened in portland, the katana weilding maniac was obviously on drugs. Maybe some hallucinogen, maybe the waterfront and his katana made him feel zen and shit. All I can think is what did that seem like form his point of view possibly twisted out of his gourd. Dudes show up fire god knows what at you then dip. wtf

What alternative are you suggesting? Should walking away become the norm for situations like this?

dont project your desires on me. to be honest, the cops needed to simply be ready, shout to the guy "hey, what's up with the sword bro, we're a little concerned", maybe request to have a conversation, maybe a cup of coffee and an ear to bend. the guy wasnt hurting people, he wasnt an immediate danger to anyone that we're aware of so the cops shouldnt have even fired be beanbags but after hitting him with 5 rounds and it barely phasing him, we see these are tools that should only be used against the very weak and feeble bodied protesters that gather at various functions
if walking away today leads to 6 decapitated bodies tomorrow, we know this walk away policy isnt always in the best interest of the public

What a bunch of faggot cops. So an obviously deranged lunatic with a deadly weapon is roaming the streets of Portland? That is called dereliction of duty. The whole force should be replaced with real cops

what duty? the duty the cops have to protect you from sword wielding nutbars?
they have no such duty
the duty to shoot someone because he has a weapon outside of his house?
well, I can think of a lot of people that must need a good shooting

I do believe the "nutbar" designation is the relevant one.

Sounds like the police assaulted an avid knife/sword/mideval weapons collector and the. Fled the scene.
Is it illegal to walk around with a katana? What if he just bought the katana from another private collector and he was just walking home with it? What if it was a fake used for a costume and he was on his way to/from a party?
Did anyone actually get threatened with the katana, did he swing it at somebody? If he did, hen how did they get away? And who are they?
If he was a real threat they should have arrested him and taken the sword, not commit a drive by beanbagging.
Police should never just walk away, unless they get called on me of course.

It's Portland. The cops were running late to their bikram yoga & kava bar meetup.

They should be fired for not killing the maniac like any respectable cop would.
