My GOD man, that’s not beautiful, that’s GOD trying to get us all the free electricity that we need to run all of our electric stoves, electric vehicles, electric heaters, electric fireplaces. WE are jsut too stupid to understand how to utilize it. So Sad. Pixie Dust from Heaven and we just throw it away.
I’ll bet sexual deviants and degenerate perverts all over Washington are in tears that us Flyovers have not figured out a way to use this free electricity and save the world from global happiness.
Social engineering is as real as weather modification.
This one time at Knob Creek, a fella got to shoot a select-fire version of this after winning one of the competitions. It was very close to proving itself uncontrollable, at least in his hands. IIRC, dude got an assist from the gentleman that handed him the little HK. Seems like the shooters named rhymed with Choate.

Fingers look fine but the ear on the top girl ain''t right
Nothing to worry about here.
It's a simple repair once they lower the unit to ground level.
Note to self. Sumo deadlift is for pussies.
Certainly not armchair quarterbacking here..... but would a 12-gauge with beanbag rounds be another solution?
My nephew is a production manager for Tesla and when we saw him at Christmas this year he told us about "meeting" the new Tesla robot and how creepy it made him feel. It looked him up and down sizing him up.
That came in on Wednesday. Texas got it right.
Another one stuck. I'll be right there. Not all heroes wear capes.
There would have been a lot of solutions that did not involve killing her.
IF the person happened to have had any of those solutions on them and ready to deploy.
But if all you have is a gun and nothing else and have not prepared, well you might not have a choice when an insane woman is walking towards you dual wielding knives.
The Police are the wrong tool to use for mental illness events.
There should be properly trained and equipped professionals to help deal with mental health issues.
The police are pretty much always going to just be, kill everyone let the taxpayers pickup the tab.
I understand that. A crazy person running at me with a knife in each hand is probably going to face whatever I have in hand to defend myself. Just spitballing the idea that for mental health calls yet another solution could be available? Again, not faulting the officer she charged. She was suicidal - and knew how to expedite the outcome.
Im all for questioning cops, outing cops, anything to reel in their behavior, but being charged at with not one, but two knives......Bang, bang....next story!
I always look at it through the lens of "could I do that?".....and not be charged. Pretty sure Id be ok with that call mentally and legally.
Dept. policies gonna be to answer a certain level of force with like or greater response.
She dun escalated that to deadly force with the first knife nevermind the second one.
Too bad for her.

That's the key.
If he had chosen taser and it didn't work she might (as slow as her fat ass was) close the distance before he could draw.
Two cops on the scene where one tries a taser and the other has deadly drawn and ready ... maybe. But it's not the kind of Cagney and Lacey shit to just be making up for the first time in the real.
A successful program in a nearby city has mental health crisis calls be taken by mental health specialists instead of police. Yes, she’s a hazard but I hate seeing how this ended.
Sumo is an ego lift because the low ROM it requires very little strength to do, and it translates to nothing else. The lady in the vid is lifting near world class weight for women, but I’d bet my left nut she’d struggle to standard diddly 2pl8, simply because standard requires a greater ROM that engages more muscles with less efficient leverage.
Y'all should take your ideas to the local police academy and see if they'll let up you run it as a training scenario with you as a role-player.
How do new tactics get tested and implemented? Genuine question.
Not every law enforcement officer has that at their disposal.
And, he may have responded to a domestic disturbance and been a very long way from his patrol car, even if he did have the bean bag option in the car.
Come at me with one knife and you are getting hot lead.
Good shoot.
It's a matter of the right tools, training and preparation for the job.
The police are not what you should be using for social services.
The police are not what you should be using for mental health episodes.
But nobody seems to want to actually spend the time and money to have folks trained and equipped and ready on standby to deal with mental illness.
If you have the correct tools for the job on hand and ready to be deployed, most uses of deadly force could be avoided in mental illness situations.
Capture shields
Net launchers
Non-lethal mass impact devices
Water cannons
Tranquilizer guns
Air blast devices
The list goes on.
BUT none of it works unless folks have the items, are trained to use the items and have a plan to use them first and use them effectively.
If all you pay for is some lone guy with a gun, a badge and a bad attitude, well the mentally ill person doesn't care about the badge and the bad attitude and you can't fault the police for defending their lives the same way any citizen would have the right to.
You Could train the police to do all that, but nobody seems to want that, especially not the police who if you listen to the media, you get the idea that somehow they hate the idea of being something other than Judge Dredd. I'll bet the police unions would be all crazy mad about telling officers they can't just kill folks.
Not to mention the stupid greedy cities don't want to pay for the training and equipment that would need to be provided.
It would mean you need to pay for teams of police not just 1 driving around. It would mean you would need to pay for all the equipment to be with them and ready for deployment.
The cities and the taxpayers would need to start having to pay out huge sums of money before they will be willing to invest in such changes.
The police would need to get this vile "immunity" B.S. removed before they are willing to learn and train for non-lethal takedowns.
Also you might need a slight tweaking of the laws to say well, you were doing something the average citizen would have been fine with killing you for to stop you from killing them, so if you got a bit banged up in the process of being non-lethally stopped, we are going to slam the door in the face of your ambulance chasing lawyers...
For those that think it's impossible, try this exercise:
You are stuck in North Korea
Fat man's mentally ill son is running around rampaging with knives in both hands.
Your orders are to get him back to his padded room.
If you kill him, you and your entire family for 3 generations are sent to the liquidation camps, and fed to the dogs or otherwise dispatched.
If you fail and he hurts a bunch of folks, it causes great embarrassment to Dear Leader, and you and your family for 3 generations are sent to the labour camps.
Now that your life and the lives of your family are on the line, come up with a plan to get Dear Leader's son disarmed safely, and back in his padded room without injuring him too badly. Figure out what equipment you want to bring with you, how many folks, and what your tactics are.
I'll bet you could figure it out & have a good chance of success.
(If you need clues, I could point you to some old Japanese movies showing an idea or two on capturing folks armed with swords).
Valid points but nobody is going to spend money on training or a mental task force as long as an "acceptable" solution already exists.
You’re right. This was a job for purple haired leftist social workers.
And that's the problem.
In the end it's more convenient to just bill future generations of taxpayers on the backend for when somebody sues over wrongful deaths.
It would take someone forcing society to pay a high enough price that they are willing to pay up front to make it not happen again.
