So sad
I try not overload this to ya all, sparing the worst, but this is so sad. This deserves a post.
Man having a mental crisis, no lethal weapon, 30 minutes trying to get him help........ Instead he was shot by cops, 19 ++++ times for having a box cutter and a health crisis. SO SHAMEFUL.
VIOLENT VIDEO. SENSITIVE WATCHER
Shoot more cops until such killers confess and go to prison
One of the problems is the same as the bad guys. They have high capacity, semi auto weapons. Meaning, once they start shooting, they are throwing a whole lot of lead down range. Back in the old days, when they carried six shooter revolvers, there was a good chance the person they were shooting at would survive. They had to aim and reload if they didn’t stop the person. Now, out of 19 rounds, even if only half of them hit the target, survival chances are minimal.
There were NINE cops . . .
@FearlessFly all of them with probably 17 rounds of ammunition in each pistol. Once one fires, it’s hard to get them to stop.
@Barnie2years At this point, the public doesn't know if all 9 fired their weapon.
I seems to me, that some folks hear 'shot' (pun intended) their mouth before significant facts were made public.
I agree with @BD66, based on the body cam video, he pulled his hand out of his pocket and took a 'pointing at the police' stance.

. . . suicide by cop
This is how little a life matters to these "heroes"
Turn the audio way up. You can hear the person filming say "I think he has a gun. Oh my God!" then he points what appears to be a gun at one of the policemen before they open fire on him.
What do you expect the police to do? Wait to see if he shoots one of them first?
It appears to be a case of "suicide by cop"
An atrocious outcome, spurred by assholes.
Surely we can find something better than the current police!
One would think so, but so many are entrenched and in the country's red areas this is what they want (until one day those in favor get badly treated - then they usually say "one bad apple" crap).
