Protect ans serve, baby, protect and serve.

They literally provoked the circumstances that would make killing him technically legal, albeit totally unnecessary.
“Protect and Serve” has become “Obey or die”. They basically allowed a camping violation to escalate to a killing.
These guys are terrified and deadly in their fear, physical cowards that seem to panic at anything unusual.
“Comply or die!”
Murder or Manslaughter is NEVER charged against a government agents.
And, naturally, the police have cleared themselves of any wrongdoing. Who polices the police? In this case, no one.
Well come on man, he’s a US citizen and he has a KNIFE and he is camping! Highly highly highly illegal under The Regime. Now if he were an MS-13 gang member it would be a different story. The Regime would bus or fly him to the state of his choice, give him an EBT card and let him party it up dude!
What do I know, but it looks like murder to me.
Very poor tactics and exceptionally poor training.No supervision except their labor union.
Gee. I am surprised they didn’t scalp him , too.
“Hoh, he has a knife with a 3 inch blade.” Blam blam blam blam blam blam
Because scared!
Camping without a permit: capital offense punishable by immediate death without trial.
Murder: Not so much.
Rape: Meh
Child Molesting: 30 days
It appears that they copthugs shot him in the back!
The copthugs should be arrested, charged, tried, found guilty and summarily executed for murder.
For added impact video evidence impact, they actually put handcuffs on his corps!
THe guy wasn't moving beyond twitching his foot. He was dead. Did anyone of them even attempt to administer aid? Check for a pulse?
Nope, after they filled him with lead they went to phase two of barking out orders and cuffing him (his dead body) because they knew this was being recorded and they could then say how they feared for their lives.
This was murder.
“I’m almost going to kill you right now. Don’t give me another directive. Don’t attempt to give me, the Department of Defense, another directive,” said Boyd at the beginning of the incident.As the hours passed, Chief Eden said an APD Crisis Intervention Team officer and a State Police liaison were called to the scene. Both attempted to speak with Boyd, however, Chief Eden says Boyd continued to threaten officers with death. Police also discovered that Boyd had a violent 20-year criminal history that included multiple incidents of violence against officers. Boyd’s history also showed years of mental health related concerns.
Video shows when officers moved in on Boyd around 7:30 p.m on the night of the shooting. At the beginning of incident, Boyd can be heard saying, “In a private world, if you were down at a bar or a bus stop, I would have the right to kill you right now because you’re trying to take me over. Don’t get stupid with me!”
Video shows Boyd then began grabbing bags and attempted to leave when officers started their use of non-lethal force.
As Boyd is moving, officers then threw a flash bang and released a K9 which appears to bite Boyd in the hand. Chief Eden said officers also used a taser gun and bean bag rounds. Two officers, Dominque Perez and Keith Sandy then both fired three bullets each from their department issued rifles, causing Boyd to fall to the ground.
Chief Eden called the shooting justified at the news conference, saying officers used non-lethal force first and that there was a direct threat made at an unarmed K9 officer. According to Chief Eden, Boyd was less than eight feet from the unarmed canine officer.
“Actually if you watch the video tape, all the less than lethal devices were in fact deployed. It was when the canine officer was down directing the canine dog that the suspect pulled out the two knives and directed a threat to the canine officer who had no weapons drawn. He was handling the dog,” Chief Eden said.
A teachable moment. Now you know what murder looks like.
