EPTDon't look down on America, it's different there and America will never be Europe. I'm sorry to the man, but it's evident that his life choices that he made put him in that kind of situation.

That's one of the worst situations to be confronting someone. You don't know what they're doing with their hands, you don't know they're taking something out, and if they're going to make a sudden movement it's very hard to see the body language beforehand. Turning around and hiding your hands is one of the stupidest things you could do when the police are pointing weapons at you. And to everyone saying "he was complying with the officers", try reading the article. There reportedly was no "agreement", and him picking up his bags and walking towards them was entirely of his own accord. You can even hear him in the video, talking about how he "has the right to kill [the officers]" and how he can "keep the [officers] safe". | ||

I already know the tueller drill. what this drill doesn't include is the fact there are 5 other men with rifles...look that up. 1v1, I can understand him shooting if he pulls a knife. But 6v1? The guy would have got riddled the first step he took with that knife. | ||

I wonder how other incidences when an armed suspect with a knife is taken out. I guess every other cop has just shot the fuck out of them in cases like this. Sorry bro, police are trained to deal with situations like this in a far more controlled manner. Those are acts are simply not on the front page since it's usual protocol and not a fucking human rights violation. Maybe you should understand that the reason why this video has drawn so many hits is because this is NOT NORMAL. | ||

Also note the fact that drill is about the time it takes for you to draw your weapon etc. Here they already had the weapon pointed at the guy, THAT is the big difference here. | ||

The responses from the OP is also irritating the American and European perspectives on police brutality is different, our cultures are different though it may seem that western cultures are very alike. Across the Atlantic ocean it is different, America has probably the most armed population in the world, these police endure stressful events on a day-to-day basis. Don't look down on America, it's different there and America will never be Europe. I'm sorry to the man, but it's evident that his life choices that he made put him in that kind of situation. The guy was mentally ill. | ||

No, he was only shot when he turned around without his hands in a clearly visible location. | ||
