Did you watch the video of 2 cops with guns pointed at him, chasing him as he hobbled away trying to drag his wheelchair? A mentally ill and terrified MAN.
Yes he occasionally turned and brandished a knife at them….to defend himself..,prob figuring they were going to shoot him. As they were trying to taze him. Which they did, 8 times, most or all in the back.
As for the reported stabbing, no medical team or victim in videos. I guess more details today.
This video is shameful in so many ways. Policing needs better tools
Everything you said is correct. As a police officer, you just don’t chase down a double amputee like that and shot him dead. That was an execution. Anybody that has seen that video may be rethinking their opposition to “defund the police”. I’m open to bringing back “cruel and unusual” punishment...for the officers.
A night stick would have worked in this situation.
