It's an ego thing the cop says "drop the rake" the guy says no.. kiss my a$$" .. then rather than suffer the "humiliation " of being disobeyed and looking for a way to calm the situation

There is just not enough information here to draw a judgement. We aren't told the size of the rake, whether the officer was hit with it, how long and how many the tines were, etc. A rake could make a pretty effective stick weapon, though it seems unlikely. I suspect the guy was drunk, or maybe it was suicide by cop. Once men get into the whole "domestic violence" system, their options get dramaticly reduced, they tend to be assumed guilty, and many become suicidal after loosing everything.

Any Freeper who thinks that the police were justified by killing a 140lbs man with a rake has pure EVIL INSIDE.

I'm sick of the police killing everything that feels like a threat.

In this case a Taser would have done the job!
