Absolutely nothing a crazed man could do with the jagged end of a flag staff....

What do you suggest this officer should have done; took his beating, dropped his gun, assumed the fetal position?

The man that was attacking him had already attacked a lady earlier in the day.

FWIW, there is really no longer a debate locally about whether the officer was justified in using his firearm. The latest issue is the FOP President calling out the "race baiters" that tried to turn this into something more than it was.
