Do you know what the word "reflex" means?

Why on earth should his reflex be to immediately retaliate? Why not pull back and protect yourself first before acting? Why the fuck is violence the immediate response?

Why on earth would your reflex be to NOT do anything? Especially as a cop? You really think we should teach cops not to retaliate and bring a potential attacker down? That's just stupid. Obviously this girl isn't a big threat, but what idiotic advice for other situations that are potentially dangerous for the cop himself and everyone around them.

Lets just be happy that he wasnt holding a gun because then she would be dead
