Yesterday's San Fran cop killing is 100 times worse than the Chicago cop killing--mho

[trumad]

So the cops say he was involved in an earlier stabbing and they just couldn't let him walk away.

“This suspect had already shown by committing a felony aggravated assault that he was a danger to others, so he could not be allowed to move away from the scene,” Suhr said.

6 cops, guns drawn---one cop steps in front of the guy--- and then bang and bang and more bangs.

1. How many shots fired do you think?

About 20 or 30? What is it, peer pressure, one cop fires, they all gotta fire?

[trumad]

2. At least--- what---no tazer?

[Kelvin Mace]

3. Panic fire

A sign of very poor training.

[Buzz Clik]

4. Holy shit. I count at least 5 armed cops, and the barrage of bullets in the audio ... !

Ok, a knife can be deadly. So .... shoot the guy once in the leg?

There is some room for debate when it was one cop versus one suspect. But this? No.

5. This is the thing my dad screams about all the time. Whatever happened to disabling

the suspect instead of murdering him?

[Buzz Clik]

7. In the cold war days, they called this shit "overkill".

One guy with a knife. Half a dozen cops, all with weapons drawn. And they cannot contain this guy? They need a new line of work.

12. They won't have to fill a ton of reports and go to court to let civilians sort it out.

6. No tazer...whatever happened to the tazer?

[Logical]

9. Or mace or a billyclub. Cops know shooting is easy and most the time no downside. Nt

[Gormy Cuss]

13. They apparently shot him with bean bags first

but how the next tactical move became death by firing squad is a question I'd like to see answered too. Of course, this was in the Bayview where black lives don't matter.

[Logical]

8. Cops want no risk. Nt

10. Clean execution

Dont know which officer actually murdered him. All should be charged

[Agschmid]

11. Let me just say "Tazer" I mean WTF.

At this point I don't even think cops should have guns.

14. That's some very selective editing.

“They deployed the standard bean bag gun several times. He did not drop the weapon,” Suhr said. Officers fired a second round of bean bags at the suspect, but he again failed to respond to officers’ commands to drop his weapon.

“This suspect had already shown by committing a felony aggravated assault that he was a danger to others, so he could not be allowed to move away from the scene,” Suhr said.

A video posted to the social media site Instagram, apparently filmed by a bystander aboard a Muni vehicle, appears to show a man limping on the sidewalk and surrounded by police officers.

In the video, someone urges the man to “just drop it,” then seconds later a number of shots ring out.

This isn't worse than the Chicago incident. This guy had a weapon that he refused to drop, even after non-lethal force was deployed several times.

15. The kid in Chicago had a knife as well and was moving away.

I'm guessing you're cool with the Chicago thing as well?

This guy was moving away from the cops---a cop moved in front of him. Why would the cop do that?

6 cops executing a guy like this and you're good.

That's some sick shit.
