And to you non-LE types that are receiving this, this is only to put things
into perspective when you hear on the news that "The Officer(s) used
excessive force in shooting the suspect who was only armed with a knife."

===============================================
Officer assaulted with a knife


Further reason why they say to run toward a gun (I've only heard of one
guy who ever did that, and it worked) and to run away from a knife. Remember
the 21-foot rule!!!!

I received this from Deputy US Marshal Mike Fugate today and wanted to
pass it on. It is vivid proof of how deadly people who are "only armed with
a knife" can be. Some of the public think that officers should try to disarm
someone armed with a knife but anyone who has had training in knife fighting
will tell you, even if you win you are going to get cut. Keep this in the
back of your mind when confronting someone armed with an edged weapon.

Be forewarned, photos are graphic.

And just to say it again, lifting weights and doing calisthenics,etc., is
NOT combat training. Be safe.

ALWAYS BRING A GUN TO A KNIFE FIGHT..............
