One is supposedly trained, the other is likely a clumsy oaf. Regardless of size, I know which one I'm putting my money on in a struggle. Hell, the cop should at least be more agile and be able to keep out of the 300-pound attackers way until help arrives.

I just don't see how anyone can say the best option for a trained police officer in a struggle with an unarmed man is for him to empty his weapon into him. That is simply fucking frightening.

Even trained professional fighters would struggle to stop an individual with that kind of a size advantage on them. This isn't the movies. Size wins out in fights more often than not.
