Law Enforcement 21 Foot Rule - Today's Tip from Lexipol

How many times do I have to say it. I don't have a weapon. Nope. Into the cruiser I go.

Mr Graham, how about you do a video on how the public can protect themselves from the threat of violence from an armed LEO if they don’t obey an unlawful order? I’ll wait.

Good, sound a helpful logical comment here. However, where ego driven, psycho/sociopathic members of what is errantly called LAW ENFORCEMENT officers, you are casting your pearls before swine, Too many officers will not hear this and have these words go in one ear and out the other, because there is little to nothing in between to stop the sound. Since you are obviously aware of internet encounters with police and citizens, you should certainly know and understand you are embarking on a fools errand and wasting you breath.

Sir, first of all, i wanna give you my appreciationYou should have a nationwide MANDATORY course for all law enforcement before taking their oath and starting their services. I think it would be a great help to all of us as a nation. God bless America and our constitution, the land of the free 🇺🇲

95% of the time the suspect with the knife is shot dead by police. Usually by multiple offers.

Why do you have to teach cops about people exercising their rights?
Don't they get adequate training?

While the 21' rule was the "golden rule" for a long time, it has been obsolete for about ten years now. Research shows the current and widely accepted line of thought statistically proves that for firearms related engagements to stop an immediate threat the distance is 3', in an elapsed time of 3 seconds and 3 rounds spent to stop the threat....and even that now is rapidly evolving in the last 3 to 5 years maybe a bit longer as the combination of training to continually fire your weapon until the threat is stopped, adrenaline, fear, and higher round capacity magazines shows a marked propensity to fire many rounds toward a threat to make sure the threat is stopped. The 21' rule no longer applies.....

21 foot rule I learned in 1996.. Took a knife fighting class in 2007. Incredible class every officer should take.
