I know the person that filmed this, he posted it on facebook tonight, made me sick...
an 18 year old ( more than likely dumb, and/or mentally ill ...and no that isn't a reason to murder someone ) pulled out a knife and ordered everyone off the streetcar, the cops surround the streetcar and demanded he drop the knife, when he doesnt comply, one moronic cop opens fire with 9 different shots, first 3 which down the suspect, then 6 more, there was no immediate danger to anyone...as he was trapped with a 3 inch blade surrounded by police, made no moves to be aggresive and was clearly dillusional..
the sad part for me is that police officers have no idea how to treat mental illness, as no one in their right mind does what this man did, wait him out...throw in the tear gas....shoot him in the leg...whatever, but this was intent to kill
...a family member has released a statement that Yalim had no history of mental illness so he was clearly up to no good . Also , although you have been made aware of this many times I will remind you once again that police always shoot to kill so stop with the " shoot him in the leg " nonsense every time you make one of these threads .
