a bunch of blithering horseschitt from the usual suspects.
u guys got anything better to do than stir the schit pot?
A badge is not a license to kill; there was a mindset by all 3 LEO's to shoot the guy...........because they could; & they did, all 3 of them. There was no intention of doing anything else.
And they liked it & they will do it again.
There was never a chance the guy was going to get out of that situation alive. Not saying the guy who got killed was either right or very smart, but this was way over the line.
You can rationalize the outcome any way you like.

Put yourself in the officers shoes for just a second. You respond to a call of a man who's reported to be acting "erratically" and the man is armed. You arrive and tell the man to halt/lay down/stop etc and he does not do what you asked, but instead, draws a weapon and points it at you. Would you shoot the man or wait for him to shoot you ?
