My browser won’t play the video. What was this poor man’s crime? Jaywalking?

What was this poor man’s crime? Jaywalking?

Probably the murder and dismemberment of poor defenseless trees...

Next week they will be shooting patrons in the local steak house.

I think if the Tea Party movement remains uncorrupted and elections go well in 2012 then everything will be okay.

He was assaulting a piece of wood with a carving knife. Must be some kind of environmental crime against trees.

[rockrr]

Dunno. Most of it shows what seattle cops are best known for - creating crime scenes...

The shooting is off screen, but you hear the cop yelling “PUT THE KNIFE DOWN” a couple times.

[RobRoy]

Yup.

It is going to go very bad for this particular brown shirt, one way or another. He never should have even approached the guy.

I think this cop is lucky the dash cam was aimed in the wrong direction. I counted five shots in about 2 seconds, that’s not exactly a warning.

And you sure can get a cop in Seattle faster than you can get an ambulance.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ain't that some s**t.

Dude has a freakin tool of his trade, not bothering a soul, too fat to use it as a weapon anyways, and he's gunned down in cold blood.

This has become the freakin Soviet Union. Period.

Not jaywalking--walking with an open knife. Evidently minding his own business and the cop goes after him and yells hey! Put the knife down. Yells it about 3 times and then shoots at the guy sounds like 3 shots. The guy probably didn't have a clue what was happening because the cop yelled quickly several times and it wasn't more than 2 minutes between yelling the first time and shooting.

The man had just crossed the street and the cop hurried after him, so was behind the woodcarver when he yelled Hey!. I wonder if the man turned around or got shot in the back. Wonder if the woodcarver was carving as he walked along. Some people walk along talking on a cell, reading, so I guess a woodcarver might be carving.

This country has become a gulag. Let the rapists, illegals, etc go, but for God's sake pull in all the citizens walking along minding their own business--they're such a damn threat according to Big Sis Napolitano..

>>The shooting is off screen, but you hear the cop yelling “PUT THE KNIFE DOWN” a couple times.<<

Here is the rub, though, WHY was he asking him to put the knife down? Why was he even bothering the citizen in the first place?

Also, unless the guy lunged at him, nowhere NEAR enough time went by between him yelling to a guy, caught completely off guard, to put his carving knife down, and the shots.

[Vendome]

I only made it to 40 seconds.

What a M&*(_^r F%^UOPr!

[mylife]

Knives AND Pointed Sticks!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Public whittling is now a capital offense!

[GregoryFul]

So you missed the part when the other LEO’s congratulated: “Good job!” to the murderer.
