I think he would be keeping the stats in-country. I would also go with swords as the most legendary killing instrument ever devised. American foreign policy is quickly catching up.

Add machetes and bayonets.

An unusual event just happened in the next county south. Apparently some guy, down on his luck and having already served several jail sentences for assorted crimes, tried to commit "suicide by cop."

Middle of the night, cops pull over a suspicious vehicle based on some phone calls from residents, driver gets out waving a knife. Cops tell him to put it down, he does not. One thing leads to another, the cop fires his weapon, guy goes down, but not dead. All in the local newspaper.

Then the next day, it turns out it was a headshot with like a .40 Glock I think. The guy lives! Amazing, it seems.

A forty to the head? Ouch. Most cops carry 9mm for insurance/policy reasons, but a .40 should have done the job. They needed hydroshocks!!

Just wait and see if people start saying the cops using a gun vs a knife was over doing it! I'm kinda proud the cop was actually able to pull off the head-shot.

He should've tried 'suicide-by-stripclub-worker'. My .357 hollow points would've done the job.

And small-pox laden blankets. Rocks don't get enough credit, either.

No, believe it or not, the next day the family--a brother and sister I think--made public statements that they knew the cop was just doing his job, and that the brother was wrong for not putting the knife down.

Wrong and stupid, unless suicide-by-cop was indeed his goal.

Maybe he can straighten up and get a real job: At a carnival catching bullets with his head.

I wonder how long before all the aunts and uncles and cousins screaming "Sue!" before the family changes stances.
