u/lostinfury 5d ago

Oh, I don't think cops think it's hard to do. They just have a far easier method. They surgically cut tiny holes in the person from 10 feet away until the person "stops resisting." The more of them doing it, the quicker the person stops resisting. I think they call it "teamwork." You won't understand.

u/Jolly_Schedule472 5d ago

You don't think she would've gotten shot here if one of them had a gun? I know I'm shooting her. Fuck a teamwork, I'm not getting stabbed with a butcher knife.

u/polo61965 5d ago

Yeah most credit goes to the guy who goes straight to the disarm. He knew what he was doing to stop her from wildly swinging, plus the lady who synced up with him and put the attacker on a choke hold helped a lot. But you can tell that even with that, the guy still got his hand cut by the way he held the knife to disarm the attacker. This had so much potential to have all 3 killed if the attacker had a plan going in. Good thing they don't have easy access to guns or the attacker would have started a bloodbath.

8

u/RevLoveJoy 5d ago

Spot on. Those people were VERY lucky. It's wildly hard to disarm a person with a knife. The only part of the weapon you can safely grasp is firmly in their grasp and to disarm them you have to get up close and personal. One lucky swing and you have a couple minutes to live without drastic medical intervention. Those folks are wildly lucky.

5

u/MoistDitto 5d ago

I've seen video of a guy who bled out and lost consciousness in under 7 seconds. Himself and those around him didn't really grasp how severe it was before it was too late. One little cut in your throath and you're gone.

This, hitting center mass until she stops moving, people don’t realize how dangerous someone can be with a knife and just because you just put two rounds into someones chest doesn’t make them stop immediately, only guarantee in a knife fight is your gonna get cut/stabbed, in a well placed part of the body your dead in 30 seconds. Hats to these people for stepping up to disarm a public threat especially Mr. Green shirt with the Leroy Jenkins method and a rear naked lol

u/Jolly_Schedule472 5d ago

The video of that dude stabbing people at a political rally in Germany a few weeks ago was horrifying. The one cop got stabbed in the head and died a few days after. So yeah, if anyone is sleeping on the damage that knives can do, just go and watch that.

18

u/banditt2 5d ago

Yeah that dude buried that knife into that cops neck but you’ll still have the people shouting “but why did they have to shoot him a dozen times why couldn’t they shoot him in the leg” because your obvious to reality, a downside of the human condition is if someone wants to hurt others they will find a way.

u/Ashley_H1985 5d ago

My bio father in full blooded Indian and I witnessed idk how many drunken knife fights but there was a time when I seen my dad get sliced and diced up n down his back and he looked like Edward Scissorhands had gotten a hold of him. Luckily we made it to the hospital in enough time n over 150 staples. My point is knives are just as dangerous as guns are and these folks handled this well.

u/Equal_Win 5d ago

Yeah I’m sure if any of these people were armed with a gun they still would have rushed this crazed knife wielding person and tried to subdue them with shopping carts and their bare hands. That surely would be the intelligent thing to do.

Nope, Russians are pragmatists and Russian cops look for excuses to shake down the average person to make up for the several months of no pay.

Once in a lifetime occurrence for random people, too many a lifetime occurrence for cops. When you are put into those situations regularly, even just a couple times over your career, statistically you have a higher and higher chance of being on the losing end. Hence why police respond the way that they do.

u/WhyYouKickMyDog 5d ago

It helps that the attacker is a very small woman. Let's be real. Size means everything. Much less people in the public are going to try and help subdue someone that is capable of picking you up and yeeting you around.

u/Ohif0n1y 5d ago

I had the police officer for my workplace (college) tell me when I informed him about an incident in my office by my stalker to use the wheeled cart I work with as a way to force distance between me and my stalker. Good to see these folks showing how effective it can be.

He could have bent her wrist forward instead, everyone should learn that trick.

u/ifoundyourtoad 5d ago

Best way to remove grip is to try and your four fingers into the meet of the thumb and the. Press your thumb into the back of their hand while twisting and creating distance.

It’s a form of jiujitsu, but when they are holding a knife or object it’s hard. Besides that honestly breaking the hand somehow is the best and safest way.

u/DroidLord 5d ago

Pain is the greatest motivator. The area between the thumb and the index finger is also a good spot.
