It seems to me that the Conway PD need some more range time, or maybe open thier eyes while shooting. I have a hard time believing that two officers shooting did not kill this idiot. Knife to a gun fight.

Based purely on the story from Fox news it would seem that the officers are well justified in the way they handled the case. But I am a bit concerned if their aim is so poor that bullets from their firearms were penetrating surrounding complexes. This lack of weapon control needs to be addressed and some target practice should be mandated.

Musta been a nice cop, if I would have shot him, this headline would have read -"suspect dead after threatening a Conway police officer with a knife"

They tazed him and it had no affect on him. Makes me wonder if he was on something. I cant say I blame them for shooting him. Come after me with a knife, I'd shoot your ass as well.

And that my friends is the result of pure stupidity, alcohol, and showing up for a gun fight with a knife. The moron got what was coming, good job Conway PD!
