Brown and the word "robbery".....

Yup. Don't know what kind of world Drippy lives in, but in the civilized world, slapping someone wouldn't be justification for "placing your life square in the hands of an armed man".

So would either of you care to describe a rule to teach to policemen about being attacked while they are armed? Currently the cop is taught that he is not to let an assailant gain control of his weapon, so that any serious attacks on himself are to be met with deadly force.

How would you change the rules for cops? What rule should they be taught for violent attacks on themselves?

See "necessary force" and "escalation of force". The rules are decent in and of themselves, it's just that people tend to either ignore them or twist them to make any reaction they want seem like the right reaction. Which is why we're supposed to have oversight committees and investigations.
