That’s WAY too many cops at one location for someone with a kitchen knife. I am sure there are citizens waiting for an officer to come to their side while they all just stand around for one man with a kitchen knife.

That is way to many officers in one spot... Meanwhile tax paying citizens are calling you about disturbances and you act like you don't have a few police officers you can release to take care of those calls ... It needs to stop. This is why there is so much disrespect between neighbors.. the police don't enforce the simple things that keep us in peace, eliminating fall out and violence

@LenaSB Your aren’t the only tax payer. I support law enforcement taking whatever precautions they need to utilize in order to keep themselves safe , while responding to incidents. If it means arriving in numbers, it should NEVER stop ! May God bless all first responders and bring them back home safe to their families !!!!!
