Never bring a sword to a gunfight. Suicide by cop?

 

[namedpipes]

Cop should have used his Mace

 

[EC1]

what's the matter couldn't they just shoot the sword out of his hand? ....

 

[tuna]

Cop should have used his Mace

I see what you did there...

 

[W.E.C]

That's what police should have done to antifa in VA.

 

[CCW]

Cop should have used his Mace

Why would they do that when they can kill someone and knowingly get away with it?

 

[silversquirrel]

There can be only one.

You missed the joke

Last 2 episodes very entertaining so this is not a strong criticism but anyone else think the show has become more predictable? You knew arya was being setup, hopefully she's a step ahead of little finger. Knew Gendry would get a chance to prove he can swing the hammer etc, Tyrion strolling back to them on the beach like he's out for a Sunday stroll? Lol to get the soldiers involved.

I guess they need to be a little dumbed down to get this wrapped up. No more endless intertwined plots that never get neatly wrapped up.

They should have just run the guy over!

live by the sword...

...no

knight lives matter.

I started to post it this morning, but had issues with the browser on my phone.

The antis will count this as another gun violence occurrence.

 

[oldguy68]

That's where running him over with the cruiser puts the blame on Chrysler!

Can't Dodge' em, RAM 'EM!

 

[Al-Jim19]

Sure this isn't Texas? I hear carrying swords is legal there now.

 

[drgrant]

Cop should have used his Mace

Or a Tetsubo... aka, the infamous MA "zoobow".

 

[enbloc]

Even an Invisible Swordsman can be struck down...

 

[Dadstoys]

Anyone else see issues with this?

Officer struck in HEAD with sword......taken to hospical and released same day.....

Either it was a toy sword or.......he had nothing up top to injure?!?!?

Probably some unsharpened replica .
The real deal would split your melon, like a melon.
Suicide by cop would be my guess.
He got what he wanted.

Probably a junk reproduction sword that was as sharp as a butter knife and fast reflexes from the cop. I was having a debate with a guy at the bar last week about MA and NH laws regarding knives. He was outraged that it was legal to carry a Sword around. I asked him how many sword attacks he has read about? It was a "hmmm.." moment for him and I was making progress. Next time I see him, I hope he hasn't found this story online.

Just throw in "Successful " sword attacks.

It was just the tip.

 

[weekendracer]

I see what you did there...

I didn't, till you did, but now I do.

 

[amm5061]

They updated the article and identified the guy. Sounds almost snackbar-esq.

 

[MisterHappy]

The pen is mightier than the sword.

So's the pistol, apparently.
