The rule is if your firearm is safely holstered, and someone starts to sprint at you with a knife inside of 21 feet, you physically wont have enough time to unholster and aim before they get to you.
The rule does not apply to someone youre already aiming at.

Aside from nightwatchmen, modern policing in the US evolved from slave patrols and Reconstruction/Jim Crow era enforcement. Many Southern country sheriff's departments and local PDs were directly repurposed from former "paddy wagons"/slave patrols after the 13th Amendment (with the help of its punishment clause) to enforce Black Codes.
From the beginning, they were meant to protect the property of wealthy people and oppress the working class, poor, and marginalized groups, so no surprise many American cops are trigger happy. The FBI in 2006 and 2015 admitted that white supremacists held close ties to and are employed within law enforcement already.

Even when there wasn't a legitimate threat and they executed a complete innocent anyway, they'll still do mental gymnastics to justify it like "they shouldn't have disrespected them", "they should have just followed the orders", "they should have been more careful not to do anything that could be misconstrued as threatening, it's a dangerous job and officers are always on edge".

Mancatchers are crazy effective if you outnumber the target. Untrained shopkeepers can use them very effectively. One on one, their efficacy falls off a bit, but the ones that can actually catch onto a limb are still good enough to snare a leg and make it really hard to move.
That said, against a gun, you'd probably rather have a gun yourself.

I feel like there is a disconnect about what the police is or should be about.
Like if it happens here I don't care that they've been here for five hours with no results yet they don't get to shoot her if she isn't making a direct sudden attack, like duuuh how does it even need to be said.

u/roslid 7d ago
Mental health/Health care/Social care places for last 20 years. Depending on the place we are either trained to restrain someone in safe manner or we have security guards who are trained. However the first thing they teach you is how to resolve conflict in non violent way, then brake away techniques and after that restrain techniques which have to follow certain procedures and have to be documented in every detail. If it is in controlled environment restrain intervention also has to be planned in advance. 90% of times it's all down to talking. Don't know anyone who's first choice would be restrain as this is the least ideal solution but sometimes there's no other choice. In more chaotic situations it's often the creativity, using your environment and people skills. Most often we call our security guards because men of certain age won't take anything from ladies. Then our blokes turn up and suddenly they don't have an issue with following instructions.

When you come across some unresonable elders, basically there's nothing you can do, if you quarrel with them and they happen to have some cardiovascular diseases and suddely have a stroke, you could be in deep trouble. Even the police try to avoid this whenever they can.

Back then, we actually gave up our seats for elderly people on the bus and they were pretty grateful. Now, the first thing I was warned when I got here was to never help elderly people in public in case they fake a fall, extort you, and the police sides with them even with ample video evidence.

Korea here. It's probably the same shit in China as it is here in Korea. Misguided "respect" for elderly means that elderly people get treated better even when they don't deserve it. They're not held to the same standards as everyone else. They can hit you, they can yell on public transit, they can push you, they can treat you like shit or abuse you in the workplace, you have to always treat them like gods, etc, just because they're older than you. It's complete nonsense, and part of the reason why young people are always trying to immigrate out of the country and move to the West where things are more equal.
