Bring your knife to a gunfight

aggressor didn't have training in those photos. Slices can be sewn up easier than holes from my training. (and don't leak as much as holes) still sucks though, still cringing from looking at those photos. We were taught to "run" if someone pulls a knife, nobody is going to win.

Slices can be sewn up easier than holes, but slices in the right places kill much quicker than holes.

This is true too.

I thought it was fake as soon as I saw it was from an email. That guy got cut up pretty badly though. I'm pretty impressed at how sharp that blade is for a prison knife.

but those pics are not of a cop, they've been floating around the net for a while.

they're on snopes as supposed photos of an airman that got in cut up in a barfight in korea.

I think they're photos of an inmate that got some cellblock retribution.

I am also pretty sure of this, however I did see photos of an officer that I knew of, but really didn't know, after a knife fight. He was pretty badly cut up. I also have a personal friend that used to work in jails and did take a homemade shank into the arm, that was also pretty nasty.

I have been cut once. It will not happen again.

This was a box cutter as i recall.

Well it looks more like a message than wanting to kill the person.

The Point of the E-mail is well taken. We are all keenly aware of the danger posed by common hand held weapons.

But who are these people who keep crafting the fake e-mails? Why can't they find actual, real world examples?

Probably the same reason that a Reality Show that featured actual reality would get canceled in the middle of the pilot episode.
