I read this article at school just now and it reminded me about the discussion regarding tasers I was involved in.

So basically, there was an unstable male wielding a knife, cutting himself and shuffling around. LEO's tried to talk him down for about 15 minutes, but he was then shot down as he moved towards the officers whom held him at a gunpoint. The thing is, before he was shot down, officers on the scene fired tasers at him twice in an effort to save the guy's life. The barbs didn't attach though and he kept walking towards them. At six feet, officers used deadly force.

It just goes to show how unreliable they are (sadly) to work with. I'm not saying they aren't appropriate, they are. However, at situations like this, taser should only be deployed when lethal cover is on the scene, which there was in this case.

If someone was to think "they could've just tackled him or something", I recommend them to watch this.

Yay, page king again.

I agree, a guy with a knife is way too dangerous, used as weapon is very fast and deadly.

Even a martial art teacher from Argentina says that the best option is to run away if you are unarmed and have a way to escape behind. Hollywood films gave us false perspective about this, in which the good guys always stop the guy with a knife with a few punches. And probably many times this because of that many deaths happened, don't try to be a hero against a guy with a knife, you don't know with who are you dealing with. Even a pro martial arts guy could be harmed.

Here's another demo of how deadly is a knife by the same guy.

Very true^

I agree. Don't try to be a hero. I know this from personal experience...it's futile to try and run. I was fortunate enough to walk away from it, but not trying to run away is probably what saved me.

Mood enlightener:

By the way, I think I'm going to make my phone's text message tone, "CONFIRM, AN INSIGHT HAS OCCURED"

[Olanov]

That was wacky.

By the way, it actually says: "Confirm, and incident has occured."

[Skylabh]

In fact, it's " ...confirm, an incident has occurred. " ( from the missions text files ).

[VAIMAHDO]

Oh, well thanks now I know what's actually said.

[cleone]

I always knew that's what they said... I'm a bit shocked some people didn't know

DRIV3R Animations Intro music announcment! It's going to be about 30 seconds or less in the movies theirselves, this song is not finished so as you can tell it's choppy at times and some sounds that don't match will be present at incorrect times.

Hey, I just realized: The Intro of Driver is actually the Epilogue!

Skylabh, is that your dog?

[Skylabh]

Skylabh, is that your dog?

Yes indeed. She was turning 16 in March. She passed away january 30th in the morning because her heart did not supported the surgery which took place the day before. This is a sad day for me

[VAIMAHDO]

Aww R.I.P Léa, you are a beautiful dog.

[Fireboyd78]

My condolences to your dog, Skylab. R.I.P. Léa

I know that feel, i also lost a cat a year ago , you can't describe it until you feel it by yourself.

Indeed you're right. It's really painful when you lost a loyal companion.

This.
Damn shame.
I remember when my childhood cat ended up having diabetes in Feb of 2009 at the age of 14 and had to be put down.

[VAIMAHDO]

I'm in a good mood, working on my DRIV3R animations project!

With HD textures using Antilli i can't imagine the result.

[VAIMAHDO]

I can imagine the result! I'm planning to use pictures of the actual vehicles from reality, edit them to fit the DRIV3R body, and see the result! Already these visuals I've made are beautiful.

Sorry for the loss, Sky. I know how it feels like, had to put down my dog roughly a year ago. I still miss him.

Agreed. Sorry for your guy's pet losses.

My heart goes out to you.

I also have pets. Two dogs, Brazilian Terriers. I know I'll be facing the same situations in the future that some of you sadly already have. It ain't going to be easy but it is inevitable.

Thanks man. Life sucks because pets dont have the same longevity as us. So i hope you enjoy every second spent with your 2 dogs.
