Like we seen hundreds of times that having mental issues and brandishing a weapon is asking for major trouble when cops are involved as they're not trained to deal with people having mental problems and just focus on what they were thaught to do, eliminating possible danger towards others and themselves

Thats the issue maybe there should be specific training on dealing with psychosis, mental health etc as a lot of these deaths might have been avoided if better training was given .on the other hand in high pressure situations where there might be time to talk a person down would it work??

Brilliant find, lady.

What a sad outcome for something that could have been so simply dealt with.

"Christian Glass" - sounds like a religious window company!

Absolutely no need to bring a gun to a knife show. If shit head cops could keep those guns aside then lives wouldn’t be lost, he was only a real danger to himself.

He was locked in a car on his own, sure if he got out of the car with a knife it would have been an issue but what a coward shooting through a window at someone who isn’t an immediate threat to anyone.

Message in this for people is, never trust a cop in America unless you want suicide by cop

That, or don’t take up a knife in front of police or refuse to drop said knife when instructed?

(In all fairness he did ask if he should throw the weapons out.)

The tricky thing was he was no threat to the police only himself I don't believe they needed to shoot him as like somebody else said he wasn't waving the knife outside of the car towards or at the police

Operated as a "team" until they shot him through the windshield for literally no reason. The man was having a mental breakdown, posed absolutely NO THREAT to any of the officers, because he was inside his vehicle. The dipshit officer that shot him, from the front of the fuckin car mind you, said he felt his life was put at risk and thought he might get stabbed..................... Through the fuckin windshield, right. This shooting was 100% not justified at all, fuck your "take them for some nice ribs" remark. The cop that fired the shots should be fired and charged with murder. "You can hear the emotion in the cops voice", yeah, right after he shot the fuckin kid. "What do we do?" Well, nothing now because you shot the kid 5 fuckin times.

But he was inside his car. Had be been outside an lunged for one of the officers, I could understand this shooting. BUT........HE.........WAS............STILL........ .INSIDE........HIS.......FUCKIN.......CAR. The amount of time it would have taken him to either, A: Open his door and jump out and dash towards one of the cops, or B: Jump out of the passenger side door and dash towards the nearest cop; Would have been enough time for any of them to rightfully open fire on him as THEN he would be putting THEIR lives at risk. Him being inside his car with a knife, posed no threat to the cops, let alone the fucker that shot him, at all.
