I am guessing that they told him to drop the knife and get down first?

Hmm...
What will the racist agitators do this time? Ask their people to calm down and change their ways? Or perhaps blame whitey for everything wrong in their lives?

Although the moonbat propagandists report he was not armed, the giant possessed two strong arms. He was a giant and well armed with intent to do bodily harm

Shouldn’t a guy with a knife be tasered first?

It's so very nice to see the networks being consistent in their reporting. It's like local news talking about shootings that occur within a mile of a public school.

I don't think that there are very many places in my town that aren't within a mile of a school, church, public library...

The on the hour radio news is already terming it a “suicide by cop”.

Sounds like he used one of his weapons to slug the cop in the eye.

Really? You're going there? You taser a guy who won't cooperate with you; you SHOOT a guy who's trying to kill you.

I heard it was a butter knife.

And the man was trying to bring the cops a piece of toast as a “thank you” for all they’ve done to protect the community.

The cops just shot him for no reason.

I’ll bet the Perp thought Obama, Holder and Nixon told the Cops they couldn’t shoot anymore Black men.
