As soon as I saw the picture - "Deserved".

I'd imagine they show reruns of my little pony in hell being the cancer that it is, so at least he has something to pass the time.

The whole idea of shooting anywhere besides the torso or becoming involved in a fist fight is absurd. When someone has a weapon, behaves erratically and advances on you, you shoot them in the chest. He had every opportunity to comply and now he is dead

Be careful what you wish for.

Yep, this. Case closed.

A knife is just as deadly as a gun in close range combat. They gave that kid every chance to live, but once you cross that line, the knife becomes a deadly weapon and you leave the officer no choice but to fire.

There's also no such thing as "half-shots". When you're in danger you need to stop that person NOW, not 10 seconds later when the adrenaline and drugs run out and blood loss starts kicking in, but you've already been stabbed 5 times.

It's sad that the people crying on social media have never even given a thought about those 2 facts their entire lives.

Mix mental illness, drugs or booze in for good measure too and it's 'Goodnight Vienna'!!

Good Night

The reason these situations get debated is because of how THE REST OF THE WORLD handles these types of situations. Most cops in civilized countries make every effort to save someone's life. ESPECIALLY if it is someone that is having mental issues. But good Ol' Merica doesn't make any effort to disarm people. They just shoot them. It's understandable. America doesn't train their officers at all. American police are completely incompetent rednecks that have no physical capablilities whatsoever and have NO ability to disarm or persuade a perp in any way. American police really do have no option but to murder distressed citizens whether they have a weapon....or are unarmed. That's what AMERICA LOVES. Enjoy your ruined cuntry.

They still could have used a taser. Chances are he might drop the knife or fall to where his knife hand could be stepped on to disarm him. If he goes to lift it- taze repeatedly(greater chance of survival). But i am glad they only fired 1 shot and you can hear him wailing like a stuck pig instead of 5 or 6 bullets and instantly die. They also gave him plenty of time before they fired although they did make a fatal shot. The cops were also backing up in an X if you would call it meaning if they would have both fired it would have crossed the target in an X pattern. When backing up the male cop should have stayed closer to the female cop instead of backing up into a parking garage. Almost in range of crossfire based on the angles...Great video seems as if their training is improving but not top notch quite yet. Still laughable.

He was very intelligent from what I've heard. He called the cops on a person who looked like himself. He said that he thought the guy might have a gun in his belt. I wonder how many suicides have tried this method of reporting their own description to 911.

[horsecs]

I read that he was shot in the heart. Amazing that he was able to scream in pain. He had a strong heart I guess.

[Budd Dwyer]

At first, i thought he* will survive it, he just screamed like if it's a shot in the leg or in the arm
If he had a pistol, i'd say the shot was justified. He really pushed the limit there. But with a knife? They could taser him and if he still doesn't drop that crap then shoot him for good

*i'd say "he" because i refuse to call these misguided virtue signaling idiots b their chosen "genders"
fuck that shit
