ORIGINAL: jlf1961 From what I read, including witness statements to the reporters, this person dared the police to shoot them, and witnesses even said that the officer was backing up away from the individual when they were rushed. Suicide by cop, and the surviving family members have a nice, winnable lawsuit, thanks to an American legal system where an idiot can sue a fast food chain because the coffee in a Styrofoam cup they got in a drive through and then put between their legs spilled and burned their crotch. But the police are to be blamed for not handling a person with emotional problems better. He was told a number of times to put the knife down, officers were backing away from him when he decided to rush him. What the fuck were they supposed to do, give him a hug while he cut them with the knife? The OP wasn't about whether the guy deserved to be shot or whether the police were right to do it. Read the OP: quote:
Georgia Tech Student Scout Shultz was shoot and killed by campus police but I guess it is ok since he was white. He made it strictly a racial issue from the outset, the implication being that police street execution of unarmed blacks is okay because they do the same to armed and wacky white people too.
