I mean, they didn't START the war, Bush and his buddies absolutely started the war on purpose with full knowledge they were blowing up innocent people to make money and make their dicks hard But these kinds of people are the reason Bush, correctly, thought he'd get away with it

"A bad thing is happening! Time for a HERO to come in with lethal force to restore order!" On the large scale or the small this attitude has so much blood on its hands

I guess this is the obligatory part where I say that yes, I, personally, have been threatened with a knife by someone having a freakout It was highly unpleasant But, you know, having a cop suddenly shoot the person dead in front of me would not have made me any better off

("Easy for you to say, Arthur, you weren't actually stabbed" Well, sure, I suppose I wasn't killed by a stray bullet from the fourth of four shots being off-target due to recoil either, so)

I'm still shocked that people act like there aren't non lethal options for a reason. It's a knife, there's things like tasers still if you really need to keep your distance, but like,lethal force shouldn't be the default, ever.
-
Tasers are less effective from a distance. In this case, the shooting was done mid-attack. I don't see what other options could have been taken to stop it. It's still a tragedy and the system failed her long before this.

I don't see how liberals were the reason we got into Iraq, honestly.
-
Liberals were hawkish in the Bush era and before, but from a humanitarian perspective. There was an attitude in the 90s and early 00s that's much more rare now. It was centered on how we have a responsibilty as a superpower to step in if citizens of another country are abused.

I find the "if there's a knife, the cop has to shoot" particularly inept because I did manage to disarm a guy armed with a knife with nothing but my bare hands and no harm to anyone or anything except the knife wielder's pride.
