He pulls out a knife and jumps onto that ledge to get higher ground where he can jump down at them with a knife. What do you expect the cops to do?

I watched it and the dude deserved to be shot and killed

He is wearing a fricking sweat shirt in the middle of the summer and walking around like he is violent

in addition, he keeps putting his hands in his pocket like he has a gun

and he walked fast to the police officers like he was going to fight them or something

I have no problem with the cops shooting this man.

Those 2 officers were fortunate to have a kind upstanding citizen video tape the entire encounter.


They should buy him a steak dinner.

The guy did it all intentionally. He wanted his death to be celebrated like Brown's IMHO. This is what the media causes when they hype up and glorify suicides and other deaths. Disturbed individuals who copy cat for attention.

Holy shite that video is NUTS.

One thing about a taser...will it go through all of his clothes? Idk if killing him was the best possible outcome but if they hit him with a taser and he has on a best or too much clothing one of those cops is about to wear a knife to the neck.

If I wake up, go to work, and have to put my life in danger because YOU wanted to steal and then you come at me with a knife...your arse is going down. Sorry but I want to see my family at night.

What a dumb arse. I have no sympathy for that stupid son of a bitch. He was begging for it and he got it. The world is better off without him.

The guy shooting the video says "he pulled his gun out.."

right when the police show up. the dude says "he's backing up. He pulled his gun out.."


ETA: Maybe he was saying the COP had his gun out. Not sure

Right hand. Switchblade. Opened it up right after police is heard yelling "get your hands out of your pocket".

You can also see his wrist flick.

That was a stupid reply. Thanks.

Several posters have said the dead guy had a knife. I was asking if anyone could see the knife? I can't. Was there information released that the guy had a knife?

I took that to mean the cop had his gun out.

Do you see a knife, BHP?

From that angle, it looked like an execution.

I couldn't tell if he had anything in his hands but I didn't really see the "lunge".

No. But, he did have his hand in that pocket and he did go to the high ground and he did keep advancing.


I keep an open mind until I know more facts. But, there was certainly non-compliance and I was suspicious of what was in his hand / pocket.
