I don’t understand why police officers do the stupid things they do.
Here they had a Handicapped suspect in possession of a knife that he allegedly used on a previous victim.
The suspect was fleeing on his two stumps. Instead of Deescalating the issue by Spraying the suspect with pepper spray they shot him multiple times killing him.
I’ll say this, the Police sure know how to make enemies.
In the 70s I don’t believe we had ‘shoot to kill’ except in rare, dangerous circumstances. It took one cop to disarm a suspect by shooting them in the leg, arm or shoulder. A man running on his stumps would have elicited a different response. Now it takes a group of cops, all shoot to kill for a single handicap man.
I’ll say this, the Police sure know how to make enemies.

It’s because people support cops to act this way. Many people would refuse to convict killer cops in a trial, so sick people become cops to kill. Read this thread, so many morons defending them.
