I know, it's difficult to believe... Here's the story.

Mine is that I'd have dropped the guy, too.

he was out of bullets, cops were cowards in that instance. They have many tools at hhand, tazers, OC spray, 10 on one/overpower. the street is not a courtroom for sentancing to death.
So they have less of a right to defend themselves than us? Meet deadly force with deadly force. The guy had already shown that he was willing to hurt people, if they felt that their lives were at risk then they were justified. Not every police shooting is a bad one...
Its a good topic, but I dont think a guy with a knife is any match for (Im assuming) several police with the aformentioned tools at hand, therefore I dont belive the police lives were in danger. If it were you or I, that would be different; I dont carry a tazer or OC, and have 9 pals to back me up.
So, new information in this article. It was only two cops. One was off-duty and likely only had his pistol. The other was a detective and likely only had his pistol and handcuffs if he was travelling light. Does this change your opinion?

I guess you like to pay for thies pieces of trash in jail. There will be one less we tax payers will have to support.
I can't believe we actually agree! There's too many variables to account for and hindsight is 20/20, most people have difficulty seeing from a different perspective. It was a santos situation, on this case I'm ok with leaving it to the officers to decide how best to end the threat. Just as I would for anyone else.Ridiculous.
You mean the photo taken a while after the killer was shot?With the facts presented by the OP, and the picture accompanying the story showing many police and police cars. i stand by my original statement of a cowardly shooting. If I were with several pals and we were all armed with tazers and OC spray, I wouldnt even consider shooting the guy. Especially being a cop, cause your just setting yourself up for (more) public scrutiny.
