According to the news CPD was helping Moberly PD with a case. They get there. A woman and kids were inside. Guy had a knife. SWAT and Crisis Negotiating Team were deployed. Guy came out of the house with a knife. Officers were incompetent with non lethal options. K9 injures one of the CPD officers. SWAT kills Guy with the knife.
CPD is incompetent. They could have used pellet guns. They could have used tazers. They could have used the BOLO wrap. Did they? Nope. They were the ones who brought an army of guns to a knife fight... and someone died.
THEN they try to blame the guy with a knife on the officer getting injured by the K9. No.
To be very clear, I don't know what happened in Moberly or inside the house. I do know though that the news said he was outside with SWAT and SWAT was so poorly trained that he died. Kinda reminiscent of the naked guy with a knife at the trailer park last year. SWAT killed him, too.

Did you read the article?
"Shortly after 10 p.m. the suspect came out of the house armed with a knife and did "not comply with the officers' commands to drop the knife," according to Schlude. Officers at the scene then tried to apprehend the suspect using "less-lethal impact munitions" and a K-9."

I’d wait and see if more info comes out before I go straight to mmm Cops bad. Cops have to be held accountable but I am not going to jump to that conclusion. They were there for a murder investigation and the woman inside said she was in danger. All things that might indicate a violent person. For all we know he was on amphetamines and non lethal methods didn’t work.

Yep, hit him in the leg with a pellet so he can get angry and go inside and stab some hostages.

Maybe people should stop wielding knives while being wanted for a homicide instead of surrendering peacefully.
But no, the cops are wrong here.

I once saw a guy get tazed more than 20 times and not even blink while working EMS. They kept trying non-lethal force and he put 6 cops in the hospital before he stopped.

Incompetent, no. But they used to teach to match "force for force." The "match-all-force-with-gun" is a relatively new training that came about with the popular pop-up cop schools in the early 2000's- where they churned out "graduates" with enough credits to be cops but the training was substandard at best, criminally culpable at worst.
If the community wants better, they need to demand higher standards of training and be ready to pay for the better quality candidates.

Hmm, I’ve never been shot by police.. I guess it’s because I don’t hold weapons when I talk to them.
