Following rip van biden's advice, when confronted with an 'unarmed perp with a knife', "come on maaaannnnn" simply shoot them in the leg. Sheesh. And of course the parents of the perp are obviously not happy which is no surprise. So, why weren't they caring for him? Circumstances are so vast there isn't an easy answer.

Am I supposed to take a shot every time the words “alleged” or “allegedly” appears in the article?

How dare they shoot a knife-wielding, hostage-holding bad guy!

Not really.   I don't even think there is a question.

From the family:

This could have been prevented by taking a few extra minutes or hour to talk him down if that’s what it would take. In our opinion it did not look like a hostage situation, rather Andrew leaning on his friend for support because it appeared that he was is some way hurt.

I understand that the family is in pain, but saying something this stupid should make you the subject of ridicule, no matter how much grief you are experiencing at the moment.

Good. When someone takes a hostage violently it has lost its right to live. One less worm that would have voted democrat.

He must have been doing some serious drugs - he was still standing after four shots.

The “hostage” was actually a cooperating actor, just there to make the cops look bad......”allegedly”......

He must have been on a lot of pain pills. Barely flinched with the first couple of shots.

“unarmed with a knife”

retarded media reporting

blade weapons are deadly weapons

the tueller drill scenario and facts don’t exist for no reason

From the family.

We feel that the actions taken in this altercation was unnecessary. Andrew was not in his right state of mind but he never wanted to hurt anyone. He had a history with law enforcement but that doesnt make him in any way less of a person. This could have been prevented by taking a few extra minutes or hour to talk him down if that’s what it would take. In our opinion it did not look like a hostage situation, rather Andrew leaning on his friend for support because it appeared that he was is some way hurt.

What a bunch of unadulterated BS.

The police were exactly right in what they did, and GREAT SHOOTING, BTW.

To hit the target with someone else that close and not injure her is very impressive.

And then when he was clear, they unloaded the magazine into him.

Nice work.

C’mon maaaan, He was mostly peaceful. They should have shot the knife out of his hand.
