1. Some people in higher positions had to know the real story and about the video too

They paid $5 million to the victims family early last spring and if I remember
correctly they made not asking about the video part of the settlement too.

Why did McDonald have the knife in the first place?

Did he have mental health problems?

I'm not excusing that cop one bit.
I just would like to know.

3. The first report said he had no drugs in his body.

A second autopsy report found PCP. He was slashing police car tires. He was wandering around the streets with a 3 inch knife. He had a history of theft. But, no history of violence from what I have read. The police were trying to talk him down when mcdonald arrived and assassinated him. There is no audio. I bet if we could hear what all of the police officers said after he was killed it wouldn't be pretty.

4. If they found PCP, that would explain a lot.

I got beat up by a guy on PCP, he kept saying it was "my fault" for something I never did find out what.

Same guy got busted repeatedly, and made national headlines.

7. They didn't know he was on PCP he had a knife and was walking away from them

They were talking to him. It wasn't mcdonalds right to assassinate him. The other cops and the government shouldn't have covered it up.

5. Seems 'convenient' that a second autopsy was performed and it found PCP when the first one didn't
