the newscaster says ...

Definitely looks like the cops had very itchy trigger fingers from what you can see there but it's a very short clip.

... at all. If they felt threatened by one guy holding a knife and walking away, while you and your colleagues hold guns. Why the holy f.... would you shoot to kill? Even shoot at all? Why not put the bullet in the leg if you are so eager to go BangBang?

The police were called because the guy was menacing people in another convenience store. There was a real problem. But why not incapacitate him? I wonder if they even talked to him and tried to calm him down. Mental illness and addictions don’t mix well with high tension, chaotic confrontation.

We need police. But we need much better police. Better training. Better humans.
