I would LOVE to get a look at the autopsy (after viewing the video). It seems fairly obvious to me that the hero with the video camera shoots him twice in the back - perhaps in the spine. Of course when the guy hits the ground he can't move. His spine has most likely been severed and he is dying. Real American Heroes. You know, I would like to believe that there are good cops out there, but I'm starting to have my doubts. God, I wish I didn't feel this way, but unfortunately I do. |

I bet if I pulled two kitchen knives on any unarmed CP member, they could disarm me with rainbows and paper airplanes. Because they'd know I only have about 1/16 of a chance to hit them with a thrown knife at ten feet and 1/4 of a chance to cause serious bodily injury with a slashing strike, if they were within 10 ft. Hell, the cops get paid to take those odds. Who cares if jr grows up fatherless, dad should have just picked a different job. Besides, the dickhead cops probably gave the guy the ****ing tent, out of boredom and bloodlust |

This is Bullshit and you know it. You pull a knife on me - 10 feet away and you are turning AWAY from me - I WILL NOT shoot. OR, in the event I DO feel threatened - six cops holding weapons at the ready - I will shoot you in the leg. PERIOD. It is cowardice. Pure and simple. Rifles at the ready - what the hell were these heroes afraid of? Was the guy known to be a knife thrower in the Circus? Don't let it alarm you - these guys will skate. You know it and I know it. Hell, they get to lay about on paid admin leave for a couple of months! Then they can return to duty and scope out their next victim. Shit guy! All is well in the "Law Enforcement world"!! It's cool! They have the "law" on their side after all! Just like you said earlier - you don't get paid enough to take chances. Shoot the damned suspect. Sure, it's a lot of paperwork but damn!!! The RUSH!!! Absolute Bullshit. |

Six, supposedly well trained, armed men against one man (obviously out of his mind). YEAH the cops are the bad guys here. Here is what I will promise you. If these events were turned around and we were in a combat theater with me as your Platoon Sergeant - every one of those men would be facing court martial right now. It was a cowardly act by "heroes". Period. |

Maybe you didn't read the whole thread or all the "presented" "facts" we have available here, I don't know (I bet we don't know everything and I bet you weren't there). But only two officers fired lethal rounds. Both at the same time, triple taps like that's their training. They took the shots right after the poor crazy guy took an aggressive stance with two knives, while the k9 officer was right in front of him, without his weapon drawn. Within a 10 foot "danger zone" often taught in police departments knife training curriculum. The poor crazy guy made a sudden movement with those knives in a very intense position, did he trip? Did he turn? Was he about to throw the knives? Was he about to do something else? We'll never know his intent in that second, but we know he pulled two knives on advancing officers after stating he would kill them if they advanced. That is at the very least showing some intent. Intent to be taken seriously. And if you were my plt Sgt trying to court martial me or my squad for performing in such a manner, my first sgt would kick your ass at the suggestion. |

It's also hilarious that you guys bring up the "he didn't drop the knives" after he was you know.. paralyzed and shortly DEAD. It takes more than bean bags and a dog to force a dead man to drop something. |
