DON’T TAKE A KNIFE TO A GUN FIGHT, EVEN IF IT’S A BIG KNIFE

Edward Smith, 65, of San Francisco is now the late Edward Smith. He learned the hard way that guns and alcohol and drugs don't mix, especially if you are the one who is drunk and stoned and the other guy has the gun.
The SFPD got a call about 5:25 pm yesterday reporting a man under the influence in the vicinity of Maynard St. and Mission. The cops showed up and spotted Smith, who came at them with a machete. The two officers ordered him multiple times to drop the toad sticker but he just kept coming so they stopped him with 3 rounds of whatever they are using in the People's Republic [of San Francisco]. Smith was pronounced dead at the scene.
I am fully confident the cops will now be subjected to a barrage of verbal abuse from morons who think they should have either wrestled with him or shot the machete out of his hand. Looking on the bright side however, it is one homicide they shouldn't have any trouble solving. It will help their stats.
