My gun would be empty but the azzhat would be full...of lead. They had a situation a few years ago in Philadelphia I believe. Some guy with a sword was on a sidewalk. Traffic was shut down for hours. The guy wouldn't lay down the sword. The cops shot him with bean bags and pepper spray. Nothing. After about 6 hours the cops started hitting him with a water cannon and an extension ladder until they could hold him down so they could take away the sword. Bullsh!t. You only need one cop to walk up to him. Point a .357 at his head and say " Hey, look here. You are going to drop the sword, voluntarily or involuntarily. Makes no difference to me. You have 5 seconds to decide." And then cock the hammer. Give him 5 seconds. If he drops the sword, cuff him. If not, drop the hammer. End of conversation and the traffic jam.
