I lost about half my left ear in the fight when he bit it off, to be sure, but be it noted, I didn't have a gun, or pepper spray, or a taser. The idea that the cop had to use deadly force to defend himself is appealing to simple minds and armchair tough guys, but if I can defend myself against someone trying to kill me without killing him, shouldn't a cop -- trained to a higher extent than I ever have been -- shouldn't that cop be able to manage the situation better?Well good for you, you are either braver or more stupid than Wilson. Bravery and stupidity are very hard to tell apart.
You didn't run away or shoot the guy and you got half your ear bitten off. Maybe Wilson didn't want his ear bitten off either, or worse.

Why is it that every time I question your stupid assertions about physical confrontation, tactical disadvantage and invading space, you just totally ignore it? This is a debate forum isn't it? Why don't you debate at all?
