    The way you defend against a reach weapon is by closing in, not giving space. Unless you have murderous intent.

      Unless you have murderous intent.

      I think it’s safe to think that would always be the case, if someone comes at you with a weapon.

        *child *farm implement

        And by you I meant the cop. But I agree we can assume they’ll always have murderous intent. That’s the only thing they’re trained to do. Mental illness? Murder. Acorn fell? Murder. Child having an episode? Murder. Suspect complains they can’t breathe? Murder.
