If someone charges you with a knife from 40 yards, you have a about 6 seconds at best to react. Your absurd notion of “gradual force” doesn’t work so well in the real world.

Perhaps we could re-train police dogs as Gizmodo staff writers I’m sure the results would be better than this train wreck of conflicting arguments.

This piece spent 90% of the time attacking police dogs on validity of detection, with short passages at the beginning and end regarding “aggressive” dogs. The evidence presented pointed at one point, but the statements on aggression were a completely different direction. Furthermore, these are duties held by…

“all of this public mourning for a canine life that was purposefully sacrificed by its owner, made to attack a basically unarmed man who was surrounded by cops”

It sounds like in the specific case you used to set up this entire article, police officers went through multiple degrees of force to subdue a suspect threatening them with a deadly weapon, including two non-lethal options before actually firing upon the assailant. Attempting to use tasers and then the dog are both…

So let’s see - the police chase a guy armed with a knife; what the “argument” was and why the guy ran away AND took out a knife is not given. The guy is ordered to drop the knife. He does not. The police try to use nonlethal force, tasers, to get the guy to drop the knife. It doesn’t work. The police use a different…

I’m getting a pungent aroma of C4 Corvette, especially up front in the side profile.  Maybe with the ass of a C3 grafted on?

I see at least one person texting and driving every time I leave. But what really gets me is the people driving brand new Benzes, Lexii etc, doing the Kardashian “yell into the bottom of the speakerphone” move behind the wheel. THERE’S NO WAY YOUR BRAND NEW CAR DOESN’T HAVE BLUETOOTH. LEARN TO USE IT YOU USELESS…

This. 1000x this! I’m tired of getting pulled over for 5mph over the limit or for accidentally being in the wrong HOV lane while at least three people try to kill me everyday of my commute. And THAT is no exaggeration.

That or with half a large frog hanging out of his mouth.

Can I get a holla for 1995 Tea Leoni?

I do have kids. Very well adjusted ones thank you.

I have been fortunate enough to fly on several private jets as a co-op student. I would fly on private jets in a heartbeat if I had the money.

Thank god we don’t live in a better civilization.

I love the lack of any reaction from the pedestrian standing on the corner. Not that I’m surprised seeing as this is such a common thing.

Here’s a pic of David Tracy driving a Cherokee down a country road at night:

It’s refreshing. Kinda tired of the I’m-angry-and-I’ve-got-something-to-prove faces of cars these days — especially the little econoboxes that actually have no need to prove anything. That’s why I’m holding on to my happy gen-2 Mazda5 as long as possible. It’s so dang happy — even with its aging, arthritic suspension,…
