On August 22, 2025, Orlando Police Department officers responded to a disturbance between roommates near West Amelia Street and Chatham Avenue. During the call, 46-year-old Benjamin Isaac Hale, who was not involved in the original dispute, launched an unprovoked attack on officers with a pair of scissors. In today's episode, we analyze the body camera footage and the critical decisions officers faced. **Key Analysis Points:** - Less-lethal weapon threat assessment (scissors vs. firearms) - De-escalation attempts and command compliance timeline - Distance and closing speed considerations with edged weapons - "21-foot rule" application in real-world scenario - Unprovoked third-party intervention during routine call - Multiple verbal warnings and use of force continuum - Mental health crisis indicators and officer response **Incident Outcome:** Officers issued multiple commands to drop the weapon and stop advancing.
