The arresting officer(s) chose, heroically, but possibly inadvisedly, to utilize non-lethal means to subdue this animal and the reward was for one of them to get stabbed and slashed. Police officers are NOT required, nor should they be expected, to give up their lives or their health and safety just to protect the sort of sub-human garbage that was involved in this event. I'm glad the officer was not more seriously injured and I applaud his good intentions. Unfortunately, in today's law-enforcement world a kind heart is often rewarded with a flag on top of a coffin.

As far as the perp answering to the court - look how well that worked for the woman who was stabbed. The good Mr. Walker was arrested for what appears to have been a serious domestic violence assault on her and her daughter about ten days ago and he's already on the street with a knife looking for her. Alaska has obviously decided to just give up on any attempt to enforce the law or protect its citizens.
