If 4 cops can't control one homeless guy, they have no business being cops. These guys look as competent and professional as a Walmart employee.

When in doubt, just kill

In Sweden the homeless have lodging. Folks who are on the street PREFER to be there.
- believe it or not most of the people in America PREFER to be on the street as well, as opposed to a shelter or housingsublocked

yup, that's the point - how incompetent must you be to let a "dangerous suspect" grab your gun? How horrible must your training be to even let that be in the realm of possibilities??
They did look scared after. I'll bet that it was one nervous idiot and they all regroup to defend him. Ridiculous.
Someone gets killed, someone should answer for it. Someone fires more than once and there better be one hell of a clear danger, not some "oh, he was reaching for a gun". He was unarmed, and if he did get armed, that was also the officer's fault.
Crazy crazy. Something really has to change.

NRA: Good guys with guns needed to fight bad guys with guns.

Even if you don't blame the 5 officers for not being able to subdue the one man,
And even if you believe the story that the dude really did grab the cop's gun,
the cop who somehow allows a guy who has got 5 dudes on him to get ahold of his gun (which is holstered so as to not permit anyone but the officer to draw it) should be considered incompetent for even permitting it to happen. I'm sure they are supposed to be trained to prevent that from happening in a physical scuffle.
- not to defend the officers here, but we have no idea what really happend here. we cant see anything.benfal99

You can't handle the truth!
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives- I think their crime was they were getting to bell air for their status. thats a big mansion they tried to build there.yurimon

Did he grab a gun or was that just police bs? Is shooting him understandable or outright murder?...It's really hard to see from this mobile phone camera angle...

Are these the same police that pull you over for going through a stop sign or are those a different level?

What could be a potentially respected and relevant profession has been infested and transformed into the anus of America. somehow these positions of responsibility have been relegated to the lowest trash on this earth. I'm sure they could have handled it with more grace in their approach, especially dealing with individuals already down on their luck. Lets find more dumb fucks to give our tax $ money, to who they themselves deserve to be beaten for the assholes that they are..

@bklyndroobeki
totally right about martial arts. Specifically kung fu wing chun. You know i'm taking lessons since 16 months now and i know it's highly effective in close range combat; lot's of hands-arms involved to knock someone down, hurt badly and control someone. It's better to have an eye gouged or a broken arm than receiving 12 bullets.
And in that video, kung fu would have been the best possible scenario to apply it; controlling someone hitting like a crazy everywhere.
The officers in that video are improvising and are not in control at all. Martial arts IS control. They should have take a step back instead of rushing on him and then let him come and take a shot; with someone as agitated as him, i would have hit with a front thrust kick first.
