Nowhere in the article or on the video is the kid “jogging” toward an officer (where did you get that?). The article states he didn’t have a knife (he had a leatherman with the knife closed). This kid shouldn’t have been shot by the police.
I said “IF he was walking at 5 mph.”. I didn’t say he was “jogging”.
You don’t gain credibility by misquoting.
Can you tell at 20 feet if a person moving towards you in a menacing manner, described by the 9-1-1 dispatch as having a “knife”, actually has a gravity-action drop blade, a spring-action switchblade, a penknife, or a leatherman? Having been alerted by 9-1-1 that you are facing an armed, intoxicated man, could you determine his status with certainty in under 3 seconds?
I am not a person who reflexively defends the LEOs in all circumstances. Sometimes there is gross misuse of force. In this case, I think the cop was *set up* by Schultz to do exactly what he did.
