be your own first responder

When patrol officers arrived, they saw Ice standing over Ciofani. He had the camping ax in one hand and a knife in the other, Sgt. Sammie Morris said.

The officers shocked Ice with a Taser. He didn't drop to the floor, instead he turned toward the officers and charged at them. An officer fired once, Morris said.

Clevelander Rita Ciofani's friends say she had dedicated her life to helping the poor and vulnerable.

But as she lay dying, those sworn to protect and to serve used deadly force only to defend themselves.

Carry your gun.

There are two stories here:

1. She dedicated her life to helping people that turned on her and killed her. (thankless waste of time that was ultimately self destructive)

2. The cops WILL NOT protect you EVEN WHEN YOU CALL and EVEN AFTER THEY SHOW UP.

This is also very informative for the "carry X instead of a gun" crowd.

Tasing the guy resulted in him turning & attacking the cops.

Carry what works & stops the threat. Jacketed hollow points work.

Even though this slime used an ax, wanna bet the state gubmint will pass a new anti-gun law to prevent this from "ever happening again!"

Doh!

Carry a firearm, and train to use it safely and quickly. Train your mind to be much less than a victim.
