^^ I dont understand why they're shooting 9 times ???
The guy had a little knife, not a gun. Shoot him once then back off a little, the guy will surely collapse after one shot.

That's terrible.

"the guy will surely collapse after one shot."surely.
the protocol, developed by professionals from experience, is that they are supposed to shoot until the threat is neutralized. if the guy drops after one shot, cops have to stop shooting. if he doesn't, they have to continue shooting. it's not pretty, but the only way to be sure.
the video clearly shows that they did everything right. except maybe the distance, they let him close-in too much before shooting. a bit risky.
it's fucked up and maybe didn't need to happen, but the cops are the wrong people to blame, in this case.
- protocol? they shot him a minute after arriving, I'm not sure we watched the same videoGeorgesII

^ so if I approach a cop ant tell him to shoot me, he's supposed to do that? I'm sorry, but no. There is a system of excavation, part of which involves the man being armed or not.

"so if I approach a cop ant tell him to shoot me, he's supposed to do that?"no. this is only in regard to a direct lethal threat.

This guy was not a peaceful individual. I think it would be hard on his part even though I agree the cops could have handled it better if their goal was minimum amount of force to neutralize.
- I don't understand the shoot to kill mentality though .. why not aim at the legs?Ramanisky2
- obviously dude was begging for suicide by copRamanisky2
- raminisky, shooting a leg will kill them too, just ask imagineallthepeoplemonospaced

We really need to invent lazer guns. You know, being burn so bad you would say "sorry officer! please stop!"
- GeorgesII0
He should have ask them if they were part of S&B, he would have been tazered instead

We went to the Moon. I'm pretty sure we can manage to invent a tool that instantly stunt-immobilize a human.
I mean, come on!

Shame on those that make us live like this. This planet has so much, yet those in power fuck it and us over everytime.

This happened in Toronto last year... A kid brandishing a knife got shot 9 times.
I really think it's adrenaline for these cops. They let one off, and just get carried away in the moment, it only takes seconds for it all to go down and that's not enough time for these thick headed assholes to realize what they're doing.

It's the power that corrupts. Add that to the neanderthal opinion that guns are somehow a necessity and a positive influence on society and these kind of events are what you get.
America, you are broken and you don't even know it.

it happend a few time in Montreal too in the last few years. Each time people were criticizing the work of the officers involved. Just listen what they ask you to do in Montreal, they are fucking nervous.
- benfal990
police officers are often young people, 23-24 y-o. Lots of girls in the police in Montreal. (not that girls can't make a good job, but in the last events of police shooting, a couple of those had female officer shooting like 8 bullets and missing the target 7 time shooting in the air and in the near buildings. I mean.
They're kids with gunz and often, they're not from Montreal, they dont know a lot about the big city and i really think they are afraid and full of prejudice towards homeless people and other nationality.

Some of you are missing the point entirely...it's not about this specific incident or even police in general but about U.S. turning police into a military force.

Remember this one?
"To serve and protect."- they don't have to, I don't remember the ruling but nowhere except in the mind of proles that cops have to S&PGeorgesII

Cops always talk about hitting the largest body mass. Why then do so many shots end up in the head?
And if you're going to shoot someone a dozen times, why not pump them all into the legs? Surely a better outcome.
- leg shots are the most fatal, see page 1monospaced
- I'll give you a choice mono. Shot in the head or shot in the leg. Which do you choose?BusterBoy
- actually its true if you hit an artery in the thigh...yurimon
- sure...but you get hit in the head, you're going to die 99% of the time.BusterBoy
- Oh Buster. I agree 100%. See my commen on page 1.monospaced
