We don’t know what happened because the video stops after, *sigh, the kid pulls a knife.
If you can provide the rest of the encounter then we can come to conclusions. I will absolutely say they did wrong if there is any evidence to show any wrongdoing. So far there is not.
With the information provided there is no way you can place blame on the police. Knife in hand, guns get drawn. Day one in police academy.
so you do know cops deal with people and knives ALL the time right? Homeless/mental etc. they had plenty of time to get taser etc or all sorts of other measures.
that many cops vs a knife really shouldn't instittue filling him full of lead. To previous post by somebody else..
this is the EXACT reason for the horrible messaging of "defund the police" this kind of shit cops are terrible at they have NO clue how to de-escalate the situation etc.
and they are NOT public servant as they should be anymore.. They are militant burned out, para military with limited power. **bad combo.
Some social worker could of handled this much better, maybe 1 cop off to the side if they feel the need to shoot somebody it can always be back up.
