First watching it, I noticed that the camera guy (and other observers) were directly in the line of fire. Later I noticed that the perp actually looked back toward the bystanders, and as though he saw the looming danger immediately moved to the side and about 90 degrees around the officers - as though KNOWING he would be shot, acting as if to direct the danger away from innocents.

Looking like straight-up “suicide by cop”, right down to making sure nobody else got hurt in the process.

One more thing - believe it or not, just because someone seems to be trying to kill a cop, does not give the cop the right to kill him back. We have what’s called a legal system. The job of the cop is to defend himself and make an arrest - not do roaming summary executions. Its a subtle difference worth thinking about. Stopping the that is one thing. Dumping bullets into a downed man to make sure he’s dead, and then ludicrously handcuffing the corpse for the cameras is something completely different.
