This was brought into sharp focus last week when a Seine Byte man in the middle of an episode chopped a police officer who was trying to subdue him.

As this cell phone video shows, the man - now known as Zebedee Martir - was flailing the machete, and suddenly lunged at a Police officer - chopping him in the back of the head. Police proceeded to fire a number of warning shots, eventually shooting him in the leg. Obviously, it could have been a lot worse - and two men could have lost their lives.
