What I find interesting is a few here wanted this officer to perform like one would expect in military combat. Shoot first, protect yourself and deal with anything else later. In combat it's kill the enemy quickly. And it should be.

You can be confident that same exact us vs them, military combat attitude is the reason why so many in America no longer has any faith and have lost all trust in government/ law enforcement. Those who understand know damn well wide spread lack of trust can eventually destroy an entire country.

To make this point, how long before the next video surfaces of a cop entering a residence or in a traffic stop which depicts the cop shooting someone to death who wasn't even exhibiting a threat?

I give a couple of days or so.

“Was the officer not previously informed the suspect might want to commit suicide by cop? Yes he was.”

You keep repeating this like it was some kind of guarantee that the suspect had no intention of drawing a gun on the officer, and therefore he had nothing to worry about. If that’s not what you meant, then stop saying it to try and make your point.
