ridiculous, isn't it? toss them in prison and make them pay. backwards hillybilly america strikes again.

Is that a taser I see on that cops belt?

I mean, the cops did have a reason to shot him, but they should have used non-lethal force.

I can`t fucking believe that these stupid fucks were not trained sufficiently. you can`t fucking start screaming at a psych patient because it confuses them and just like the video shows, it escalated......end result........a man is dead. What I want to know why he was not on meds.

Every situation is different.

Just because you has success once or twice talking so done down doesn't mean it always works out that way.

Bi polar and skits is a bad, bad situation....... If the voices were telling him to kill, that's what he's gonna do.

Oh no, the big bad man! Cops obviously terrified he was going to use that screwdriver to tighten the loose screws that more and more of American society and police seem to have of late. If your first response to a mentally ill person with a toolbox is to KILL them, you're in the wrong job!

A man who killed a police officer in my city with a stolen snowplow two years ago was found not criminally responsible. People with mental illness can be very dangerous when not on medication. Crazy vid!

And where is the proof that he heard voices wanting him to kill ? Not all Schizophrenics are violent or murderers. the pigs escalated this one to where it was out of control on THEIR part. Did you not hear him say to the officer " hey, what`s up man " ?

Ok all you sticking up for the pigs on this one. What if I was at my mothers home preparing dinner and me and my mother have an argument. She calls the cops ( some idiots call the cops for nothing but an argument ) and let`s say I was cutting up onions when the cops arrive and unwittingly had a knife in my hand and I walk over to the door and the cop tells me to drop the knife ( I look at my hand and oops, I see the knife ) then the next fucking second the pigs shoot me dead. Justified ??? NO !!!!!!!! Trigger happy fools with the IQ of a pig. Oh, maybe I should have put on blackface, then it`s justified to the racists on here.

How the hell do you know "he came at them with a screwdriver " ???It was out of camera range, and you are just going by what the DFWPD is saying.
