Arizona police shot and killed a transgender man who gained viral fame last year after uploading a video showing his service dog calming him during a meltdown.
The 24-year-old, who had Asperger's syndrome, was legally known as Danielle Jacobs, but identified as Kayden Clarke and hoped to transition from female to male, friends told the Arizona Republic. Police were at his home Thursday morning after being alerted to a suicidal email he had sent out, according to the Associated Press.
A pair of officers tried to talk to Clarke through an open doorway as a third officer retrieved a "less-than-lethal option," a Mesa police spokesman said Friday, according to video uploaded by the Republic. Clarke came to the door with a large kitchen knife in hand, said the spokesman, who referred to Clarke as a woman.

Well, the moron got what it wished for!
You don’t threaten a cop with a knife when they have guns!
The only other question I have is this: “Who alerted the police about the suicidal e-mail?” Was it a friend that received the e-mail or is it some gubermint e-mail monitoring software?
"There is no situation so bad..."
Gotta be a movie here somewhere.
Yikes, that is a nasty headline.
Was the "transgender" a muzzie?
good question.
she wanted to be a dog ???
is that there a himim or a herim ???

My nephew is applying for a state job. I told him to claim he was a black, confused LGBT.
Police 1, Transexual 0
“Gender Dysphoria” = Mental Illness (not something natural or normal)
The FReeper brigade of “The cops can clean up anyone at any time for any reason” will come to this thread and get all turgid over this.

Nope just curious
I didn’t catch what distance the dead guy was from the cops when they dropped him
An obviously very disturbed person making threatening moves with a lethal weapon? Hard for me to get all tore up about this.
then they will black ball him till eternity for lying on a gvmnt form...Best to move on
A woman with two kinds of crazy, probably 3. Sympathy for the dog.
Im so confused. Is it a man or woman?
It helps to remember that the news media always identify them by what they want to be.
