Governments shut down our mental health facilities en masse and things like this will occur at a higher rate sadly

Every fuck these days, blame mental health.

You're kinda right in parts but not in others.. most operational officers are specially trained in both tasers and guns.. most have access to both every shift. The taser has some limitations such as the ones you've mentioned.. ultimately it's almost never appropriate to use against a knife because of these limitations when the assailant appears motivated to use it. When you deploy a taser effectively (one barn into upper body the other barb into lower body) they are incapacitated for 5 seconds.. which means you have 5 seconds to go hands on and get them restrained, or give them another hit of the taser if the wires haven't been cut or ripped off.. either way eventually you do have to go grab them which is why it would be easier to accomplish with two officers.. officers are still trained to taser and secure someone on their own.. but generally speaking.. angry person with knife = gun.. it's not meant to be a fair fight.. it's about protecting lives of others, and your own in situations that leave you with no other option

Did they change the taser training based on previous problems?

I remember discussing it with a friend who is an officer and at the time he said that taser training was restricted to certain officers. But that was over 5 years ago and he quit the force shortly after that.

Exactly right, they all use it as a get out of jail free card. And you can bet your bottom dollar no matter what this scumbags motivation was today the government will only blame mental health to try keep the peace.

Was out on this - but had to throw another 2c. Missus is senior in health and told me a potted summary of what has been cut back in the last 20 years. Its staggering. 100% spot on.

As for those who think mental health is an excuse - thanks. Its complete fckwits as yourselves that validate the govt position to pull more resources. Because it's just an excuse.

@mods - guess we can pull the 'are you ok thread' while we are here. Don't need that shit. Its just an excuse that you have poor mental health. Why are you enabling the 'fakers'.

Cannot script this shit.

Not sure about nswpol sorry mate.. but I know QPS all operational officers are trained in both firearms and taser.. if you're not trained in both you're not operational.


I will add though.. all training is updated following incidents both interstate and internationally.

Just read that the mother of the baby that was stabbed has died, very sad

 

[liljohny]

Prayers and love to all the victims and loved ones that they leave behind. So sad and just not needed.

Breaks your heart hearing that

Hard to believe that a group of people couldnt over power him or grab a metal object, chair, table or anything to pin him down or knock him out, very sad to hear that the vunerable appear to have been left behind while everyone ran away.

I l think that I am a strong person and my instinct would tell me not to run but to offer assistance and confront danger...
But until you are actually in that traumatic situation who knows how the mind would react..
I agree with you but can't criticise anybody...

Jumping to conclusions is definitely helpful for everyone.

Some people use it as an excuse when caught doing a crime.

Or blame their childhood.

Mental health, drugs, crazy or just a fucking **** - who cares. Piece of shit deserved to die after ruining the lives of multiple families.

Imagine being the father of that 9 month old and getting the phone call that your wife has died and your baby stabbed. This hit hard, my wife would often take our kids while on mat leave to a mall and spend time with her friends and their kids. Gutted for for that family

All good, if it is mental health like some saying. They Be on the NDIS in a couple years, lol. Think there’s more to this than mental health.

 

[Cook]

Lock the c—ts up if true. Stop being so polite fmd. We used to have islands for this shit

It's drugs, mental health or both. You think a sane person goes around stabbing people like this?

 

[chemdog]

5 of the 6 victims were women

 

[chemdog]

attacker was also known to police

Which is precisely why almost the entire population is horrified by what has happened and finds it incomprehensible, it is not a sane act, it goes completely against normative human thought and behaviour to do what was done today.
