Here’s a suggestion: Don’t point things at the police, don’t try and grab their guns, don’t punch them, don’t rush them in an intimidating manner, especially if you outweigh them by 50 or 100lbs, and don’t tell them that you’re about to kill or maim them.
I guess when you got to shoot you don’t talk... you shoot. /s
Seems rather excessive.
If they really fired 80 times I REALLY don’t believe they hit him with them all.
If you aim a gun (or something that looks exactly like a gun) at cops you deserve to have your face shot off.
Schizophrenic? I bet he was a pot smoker.
Who lets a skitzo run around with a realistic pellet pistol?
Probably should not let them use such big.....errr...(clips).......
I’ll bet the .40 with the stacked mag is the weapon of choice there....just a guess..
“His grandmother wanted to bury him in a casket but changed her mind after seeing his body,”
I found this line in the story rather interesting.
Wrong !
It was an imitation pistol (firearm) that he aimed at police ..
and you don't know it is anything less than a firearm until it discharges.
This 25 second video purports to show the same incident, but from a different angle => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WmU3ChQkuU
Maybe it’s time to dispense with the handguns and equip the cops with RPGs instead. Perhaps it will help with the factors of uncertainty.

FYI PING
some people want to die but they want a cop to be the weapon of choice. Its called suicide by cop.
this is almost always my conclusion when people act out when interacting with the police. they want to die.
I am not a big fan of police.
That being said. What is suppose to happen? A cop get shot before they know it was a pellet gun? Are the cops equipped with superman type vision where they can magically scan the pellet gun to know it’s a pellet gun? I have a cheapo pellet gun that looks just like a 1911. You can’t tell the difference. Take a look at some of the airsoft replicas. They are identical in every way to firearms.
80 rounds? Well. Dead from 1 or 80. What’s the difference.
More than likely, he was shot by a couple of leo’s with shotguns loaded with double ought pellets.
This is a damn Brit reporter, who knows less about guns than our liberal reporters do.
If you want to blame someone, blame the federal judges that closed the state mental institutions and threw the crazies out on the street.
If this is the same one, I’m more concerned with them fist bumping at the end. Cops who celebrate a kill, are cops eager to kill. A lot of cops used to get sickafter a kill. Now, they fist bump.
That is just insane!!
Schizophrenics are more dangerous than the psychiatric profession is willing to acknowledge, imho. They also have a higher rate of suicide than the normal.
