A robbery suspect. You can hear the cop that tackles him say "He's going for my gun" at least twice.

Cell phone video

Local news media report

No complete story yet.

I have no sympathy for someone who tries to grab an officer pistol and gets shot.

He obviously wasn't going without fighting his heart out. So he took it to the next level and paid the price.

I have zero complaint against the officers.

Good for the cops. At the end of the day I'm going home to see my family even if it means defending myself in extreme measures

Never happy for death. Notice the black cop that got attacked and yelled about the guy going for his gun pulls back, reaches to his hip as to make sure it's still there just before the shots.

Wasn't a real person anyway. Just some homeless sub human.

Black cop shoots black homeless man, you won't hear much more about this.

I like how towards the end of the video the camera man calls the black cop a sell out as if he is supposed to not shoot the homeless man because he is black.

Death, no matter who's the victim, is never something to be happy about. But what happened is definitely understandable, and if it's clear that the cop did it out of defense, then it is what it is.
