Well maybe the cops should have analyzed the situation more clearly instead of just drawing guns?

If 911 dispatch says there was a robbery, perp has a knife, you find the suspect and order him to the ground with guns drawn.
He was extremely confrontational once the cops ordered him to the ground, what was there to analyze.

Is ironic how people scream and cry about cops mistreating a certain group based on the actions of a few and that is EXACTLY the same treatment they are getting...there are bad cops, there are good cops...some do their job with good intentions others let the power get to their head and abuse it...treat each case according, I know plenty of officers personally who are fantastic people...ya need to stop this generalizations based on isolated incidents.

If that's the protocol, then that's the protocol. Nevertheless, taxpayers are usually the ones going to be footing the bill once a civil wrongful death lawsuit goes to trial often time due to officer's error. Happens all the time... why??? Cause police officers are reacting too quickly and not logically assessing the situation.

Its the same with any group of people (race, ethnicities, organizations etc.) There's always gonna be that 10% or so that mess it up for the rest of the group.
And **** of here with that "taser him" and "shoot him in the leg" talk. From where the man was standing he could have closed the distance in one lunge. If he was amped up on drugs the taser might not have enough effect to knock him down. Like people have said if a cop unholsters his gun he is aiming center mass, and I'd do the same.

Another incident when a police officer shot and killed a dog in front of dozens of witnesses.
View media item 1145992
End result.. another lawsuit.
As a taxpayer, I demand these public servants to be better trained.. period end of story.

When was the last time you visited a county mental health hospital? These people are discharged out to the streets with legal drugs pumped into them, and when that runs out of their system, they become mentally unstable but you expect them to just be a normal functioning member of society?

not trying to draw a comparison...
We keep falling back to protocol when policing is a grey area.
When they're wrong from a moral standpoint, its "following protocol"
But when its right from a moral standpoint, they're just being good police?
Bet my next year's salary of that was a white woman, the situation with these same cops would've been totally different...
Let's call it what it is... Black men's lives are so lowly valued in this country.

why are people ingoring this post? why wasnt this old man with a gun shot dead?What's more of a threat from a distance knife or gun?
Going back to this, I find it comical to say the least that they took so many precautions with this man who has a loaded weapon but were so quick to shoot a man with a knife.
Like, if it isn't a racial thing then I don't know what the hell you would call it.
Its so blatant.

How many mental sane people you know walking like that talking to themselves?
I see plenty out here in Venice, CA and most are not violent however just based of my experience, small little things trigger an outburst.
Again... police officers need better training on how to deal with mentally ill people. I am actually afraid for some of these cops because there are a ton of heavily armed war veterans in our society whom have severe cases of PTSD, and taking all kinds of legal drugs. Read the stories... some stop taking their prescriptions and they become intensely violent.

Doesn't answer the question.
How would the entire situation end? What should the police have done to neutralize the situation?

Dawg ya really gonna generalize EVERY cop shooting?
How is that video relevant to this one?...is two different situations, with 2 different sets of people...you act like every cop is gonna react to any given situation the same way...THEY ARE PEOPLE JUST LIKE US

Look at the way those cops in SD handled and look at the way cops in my city handled it.
Now tell me the cops in STL didn't over-react? One shot would have stopped him but they decided to shoot 9 times

If yo dumb trolling a_ would have watched the video I posted you would see that the cops in San Diego shot the guy with a gun one time and then waited for him to move away from the gun to apprehend him.

Better training? Perhaps, but more like heavier punishment for crimes.
