I typically side with police officers in these types of situations, they have a shitty job in that they have to put up with the most out of control people in our society, they don't get paid as much as they should considering they put their lives on the line every day, and they rarely get any credit from the general public for the services they provide. There are always a few bad apples that ruin their image by being power mongers, but that's not a cop trait that's a human trait, there are examples of that in every profession. Like it or not, we NEED the police to keep the order in our society.

All that being said, anyone who can watch this video and think that this was justified is beyond me. This is a homeless guy getting busted for camping for **** sakes, the fact that it ever escalated to a situation where human life was lost is mind boggling. The cops handled the whole situation very poorly, there is no excuse for this that would justify this death to me having now seen the video.

Why didn't they just taze the shit out of him and cuff him, what the hell is with the guy who keeps shooting him while he is face down and not moving? To anyone with this bullshit story about how he was some ****ing ninja who was going to hurl the knife 20 feet into someone throat or whatever, refer to the other video a few pages back where the guy gets blown to shit for simply putting his arms down after firing at cops and surrendering (that is a much more easy to defend the cops scenario than this by a long shot). If that guy had raised his arms to even try to throw a knife they would have gunned him down on the spot. The cops were not in danger here, they flat out ****ed this whole job up and someone lost their life over it. There should be consequences.
