Hard to tell from the dash cam video and without audio or witness statements, but it appears to me the perp was striding briskly toward the cops, knife visible in his right hand. At the moment just prior to the shooting, he turns face on to them, as if to threaten. Doesn’t look like murder 1 or 2. In a different era, not even manslaughter.
Can’t agree on this one, This looks like murder or at least manslaughter, way over the top , he was not running at the police. I was 100% behind Officer Wilson and some of the others, but this is bad, should be charged with at least manslaughter. I think the bigger thing to watch was there a coverup, rumors have been out that some video was erased and other things. Rahm, going to have to show his political skills on this one. Notice another case of all Democratic run city.
