We ought to ask ourselves how, in a life-or-death situation, they might have orchestrated a “cleaner” kill, one less likely to offend public sensibilities.
There was no life or death situation. There were, however, 6 guns against 1 knife. They either panicked or just simply wanted to fill him full of lead. It tells me there were no cool heads there. It’s ok, until it happens to one of us.
[...one less likely to offend public sensibilities.”
Maybe if the guy had been shot 46 times in the knee? There was no imminent threat here to justify what was done. Period.
Proper training and a little patience would have gone a long way here. If not, then bust out the taser and the mace for crying out loud.
These scum with badges are murderers and should suffer a murderer’s fate.
