This young man was murdered. Lets stay on topic folks.
I have a solution, next time there is an incident, how about YOU talk the person down.
Read the opening post.
It's disrespectful to the widow to be cluttering this thread up with unrelated issues.
Looks like an execution considering the police were out in the open (not aiming from behind the protection of a police car) and standing, aiming like a firing squad waiting to be told to shoot.
There seems to be plenty of time to determine if a LESS lethal force could have been used...
Actually, they're supposed to have the training to do such (use less lethal options) in situations like that.
Regardless, there are good cops and bad cops. Yet, something went horribly wrong in that particular situation. My guess, the first police shot was someone not trained properly nor a sergeant. The shots that followed were in reaction to the first shot...not in reaction to what the criminal was actually doing at the moment.
The last two shots while the guy was already down from the initial shots...those individuals that fired the last two shots should be fired and/or arrested. It looked so bad, I was waiting for one of the cops to yell that the guy "flinched after his body hit the ground/head turned away from the cops".
Edit: The police has issues with the cop firing those last shots...

It was a firing squad execution, no need to dissect or make excuses for murderers
And here I thought it was just a troll setting baitThis thread was started with a video of a eulogy of a police widow of only a few days. Have some respect.
We need more police and not to tie their hands in areas where the crime rate is high.
How it began.The man was committing no crimes bothering no one and gets murdered by 9 cops.
