whoa! that much firepower for one close-up weapon bearing guy.

All I can truly say about the scenario is that none of us were there.. All the intel we have is on the video. It was even a shitty lapel cam at that.. None the less, we don't know the complete extent of circumstance in the scenario that escalated.

I do know one thing.

If I were the officer and I thought he had a gun in his hand???

EASY CHOICE... Im going home tonight ALIVE.

Where are all the dead cop videos? I want to see a pig bleed.

I found it funny in a way how they still cuffed him.

Too many hesitant cops have been killed. There is simply not enough time (In the heat of a moment) to make an accurate determination as to weather an object is a weapon or not.

And the guy knew this; he wanted the cops to shoot him. It's called "suicide-by-cop". But since he woke up in the trauma center he filed a lawsuit, because I'm sure now he figures he'll make some $$ out of the deal.

Hope he doesn't make money out of this, he wanted to die so to then sue them is just bloody ludicrous.

Knife, brake-pad or gun. Having known several cops, If someone is pointing something that may look like a gun (especially after threatening with a knife), that bastard is going down. Easy to judge a cop when you essentially have no fucking clue what they do day-in and day-out. Fuck off cop haters.

They'll say the shoot was justified, probably give the cop a medal of valor or something for shooting a kid 100 feet away from him that was holding a knife that he did not even get a chance to drop before johnny law started firing. Even if the shooting was justified, the cops treatment of the dude sure wasn't. I counted 18-19 shots but with two shooters its hard to tell. I wish we could see the coroners report--guaranteed if there were 18 shots, 16 of them hit the kid when he was already dropped. Holy shit already--enough is fucking enough.

I'll holding judgement till the Chief gets back.
