What exactly happens if they have no arms to put behind their backs?

Uh, they aren't much of a threat. Can't remember the last time I saw someone get arrested with no arms.

(Funny)

The letters C O P make this murder legal. If it would have been an ordinary citizen pulling the trigger, he would be up on murder charges right now.

No he wouldn't!

That's what the "Stand My Ground" law is for!

I would expect to be shot if I took a knife to a gun fight. I am from Miami, I know what happened, he didn't "Throw" the knife at the cop, while he was beating another man up, he stood up when the cop told him to get on the ground and charged the officer with the knife. What are you going to do? Run away? Take the chance of trying to spray someone and getting cut? Everybody would of did the same thing! You can't judge a person until you have did the exact same thing and walked in his/her's shoes. He did what was right and justice was served. At least get the story correct if you're going to gripe about it. The knife was not "Thrown" like a baseball or something. I'm not a big fan of cops myself but they do put their lifes on the line everyday for little pay, what happens when you need something? You say "I'll call the cops" because you can't take care of yourself. Give the guy a break, he did his job exactly how he should of, if we had more cops like him then we wouldn't be seeing little kids getting shot in drive by's and meth taking over our state. People would be think twice before they broke into someone's house. I applaud the cop for doing his job and so should all of you.
