There seems to be a virtual epidemic of violence across the country right now and while  civilians are being shot, stabbed and even thrown in front of subway trains in record numbers, it’s also the police who are victims of this crime wave. Almost every day you see a news story of some police officers being attacked, shot, or in this case-stabbed.

This is because there are radical district attorneys all over the country who are (for some reason), refusing to prosecute these violent criminals and the result of that, is even more violence. These career criminal’s feel emboldened and right after they get released from custody because of “bail reform’, what do they do? They go out and commit MORE violent crimes and the result, is an even higher body count.

It’s almost as if these violent thugs are saying to the police; “Go ahead and shoot me…I DARE you, because if you don’t shoot me, I’m going to KILL you!”. Am I lying?

Here is a written description of what you’ll see and hear in the video below:

Springfield, Massachusetts — The Hampden District Attorney’s Office released body camera footage from the Springfield officer-involved shooting death of 23-year-old Orlando Taylor III.

Police say Taylor, during what his family said was a ‘mental health crisis’, stabbed Officer Arjel Falcon in the face and neck. Shortly afterwards, officials said, Taylor charged at Officer Falcon with the knife raised, and the officer fired his weapon twice.

A department spokesperson said Officer Falcon has suffered permanent nerve damage from the stabbing and will undergo additional surgery in the near future.
