    seemingly anywhere else a knife-wielding assailant can be subdued without blood being drawn,

    Where has this actually happened though? I very much doubt it’s standard practice for any police force.

      My mans knife attacks are the primary deadly assault weapon used basically anywhere else on earth that you cant get guns from vending machines. I know that is hyperbole, but only just.

        So my first reaction is scoffing at how ridiculous of an idea that is, but then I think about the US and it’s not as unlikely anymore.
