Totality of circumstances.

Travis It's that simple....... I guess I'll base my future actions on my own knowledge/experience (rooted in years of wisdom from those who have BTDT) rather than the rantings of those who could've/would've/should've........

Unless you're refusing to read it out loud, it'd have to be a moot point. Bluedreaux is as confused as ever, so nothing has changed there...I can see where reading aloud is a benefit to him. How exactly am I confused?

If he wasn't acting threateningly why did they suddenly retreat right before shooting? to avoid blood splatter. And, based on their girth, a head start for the local Taco-Tuesday especial.

There are a lot of unanswered questions and if this was so cut & dried like many here are espousing, why are other police officers troubled by the video?
Did they have a legal right to shoot to kill him? Maybe. That doesn't make it any less irresponsible- I'm still waiting for the answer as to why they acted when they did...
The video clearly shows he wasn't attempting to approach them. He was standing there holding up his hands.
WE don't know what was being said and will now get only one side of that story. He must have been really good at telling scary tales, because his body language at the time of the shooting doesn't indicate he posed an immediate threat to those officers or anyone else.
I like cops. I really like responsible ones.
Or to paraphrase: "I don't have a fugging clue about what really happened but I know it ain't right because I watched a cell phone video taken from 200 yards away." You're a walking Einstein, dude.  Nothing of substance to add. Unable to comprehend or refute what is clearly visible to everyone = stupid response. Bet that tiny nerve bundle of yours was working in overdrive to crank out that penetrating reply. Laffin. I think you take the Einstein title by 4 lengths. Please know that I value your opinionated opinion highly. I can't imagine how great you must see yourself to know exactly what happened. You're my hero.
It's official. I missed the selfie deadline so I'm Maser's sock puppet because rene and the Polish half of the fubar twins have decided that I am.

Looks pretty bad. The guy is running around aggressively and finally stops and puts his hands in the air and is immediately shot? What ever was in his hands after they were raised was in his hands before they were raised when he would have been more of a threat. I predict the cops are in deep shizzle.
I don't buy a motionless guy with his hands raised is a threat to two cops with guns drawn and leveled. In practice we could draw and shoot a target 25 feet away in .5 of a second. With their guns leveled reaction time would be a tine fraction of that. Around here cops with the drop on a guy with three guns waited to shoot him until he leveled the gun to shoot them which is a much more reasonable standard.

A half second draw out of a cop holster would be uber. Bob Vogel would blush. It's more like 1.5 seconds for LE average then add about a .75 sec reaction time to figure out you're in the Shiite in the first place. Pretty sure my old ass can cross 20 feet in 2.25 seconds.

don't be confusing the issue with facts Mac
still think Jim/EvilTwin has the right take on it.
azzhole with a knife is standing in the way to provide aid to those he's already harmed.
taser didn't work, well the firearms did
as it should be.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

With their guns leveled reaction time would be a tine fraction of that. Many people are aware that the US Army first adopted the 1911 .45 ACP because their .38 revolvers weren't dropping charging Moros with sufficient regularity even with good hits, the mortally wounded Moros living long enough to inflict mayhem with their edged weapons. What isn't widely reported is that the .45 didn't work much better. Around here cops with the drop on a guy with three guns waited to shoot him until he leveled the gun to shoot them which is a much more reasonable standard. Ya, levels the playing field, fair play and all that....  Birdwatcher

The local paper had a story on the background of the deceased going back twenty years. Father IIRC is a retired Cop. Long history of drug use, forcibly evicted from parent's home in early twenties due to drug use and violence, including towards his mother.
Had even charged a University Cop with a knife more than ten years ago with the stated intention of getting himself shot, and that was just for a noise violation on campus for the sound system in his vehicle.
Had some years previously perpetrated an armed robbery at a McDonald's by climbing through the drive-in window and holding pruning shears to the throat of an employee.
I have no idea what twist of fortune gave this guy a wife and then a child (three weeks old at the time of this incident) but if there was ever anyone determined to f&&k up, it appears to have been him.
That weren't his house, he went off when they told him he couldn't be there.

Finally, the only appropriate response to this drivel on whether a non-compliant armed felon within lethal distance of 2 officers carrying out their duty constitutes a justified shooting. And all this from a supposedly conservative group that should know better? Sherifff David Clarke needs to be considered as the next US Attorney General or at least FBI Director. It's time to get sanity back into the discussion about policing the criminal element. SPOT ON!!
