The police also have stated he had a knife.

And they apparently have video to prove it. Why would the police say he has a knife, knowing about the video, if there wasn't one?

Didn't this guy just assault a women and a baby?

Do you see it differently?


You're a cop. Your partner and you arrive to a call about two people bleeding with injuries, unknown what inflicted those injuries. You find the suspect, try to arrest him because he has already hurt two people. He runs, you tase him and he pulls the barbs out and continues to run (Taser ineffective). He stops, puts his hands up, says, "I'll kill you, pigs". *Pause - now you already know he is willing to use violence towards others, non-lethal has been used and is ineffective.* Suspect reaches for his waist. Does he have a weapon? You make the split second decision, who goes home..you and your partner or this guy that just hurt two people? You and your partner shoot.

Where did he reach? When? Where is the weapon?

Where do you see him reach or see a knife?

I think because of how far away the camera man is, it only looks like he is reaching for something before shots fired when in actuality his hands are lowering because he was shot. It just takes a second or two for the sound to reach the camera man making it look like he was dropping his arms before you hear the shots.

At least that's what it looks like to me.

It's getting ridiculous. If the shooting wasn't justified, I'm positive these officers will be punished.

But the stage is already being set by some in the media and activist to ruin these cops lives.

Like they did in Ferguson. It was proven in Ferguson the cop did the right thing. If he didn't, the cop may be the guy who died instead of Michael Brown.

But none of that mattered, the lies were spread, and the truth ceased to matter. And a cop who did nothing wrong losses his career and gets death threats on a daily basis.

That's why it's stupid to base an opinion off this shitty video. Because maybe he was unarmed and the shooting was murder. Or maybe he had a knife and he was threatening to kill the police.

You cannot tell either from the video. So would it hurt anyone to wait for the investigation?

I just wonder, why would people (cops) knowing of previous Cops indictments, loss of jobs, and social demonetization, as well having knowledge that there are cameras everywhere, actually murder someone.

Because...they didn't...murder anyone.

All that is going on is a national (and larger) anti-cop campaign by sociopaths and for sociopaths.
