"Obama to send aides to Ferguson funeral"

9. Cause he was holding a knife. It was reported he had two. He was attacking them. For sure there

should be some other protocol for the mentally disturbed. Don't know what that would be. Unfortunately if you run at the police with a weapon and get to within two seconds of them, you are going to get shot. I don't know why the police have to unload so many shots. That seems to be the norm...to empty your weapon if you are the police. But I understand that tasers are not that directionally accurate. So they are not an option when you are being attacked. It is so sad. There was a small demonstration in Ottawa today in solidarity with Ferguson and a woman there said the police and the people have to get together and mix with each other so that they get each other. I thought that was a nice sentiment.
