I mean dude. 1 guy with a knife. 2 cops with guns. And you *have* to shoot to kill? Maybe we need to teach these cops karate. #Ferguson

@ZerlinaMaxwell Wouldn't it be easier to teach folks "not to go after cops (or anybody, really) with knives?"

Hi @ZerlinaMaxwell, it's Kanko. Do you know what happens when you try to shoot at an arm or a leg? You usually miss. This isn't Hollywood.

Maybe they should carry swords! Possibly halberds, maybe a poleaxe special unit…Ooooo and nunchucks! @ZerlinaMaxwell @NoahCRothman
