Difficult to watch. No justification for this overreaction from the police officer.

Are you watching the same Video? That Big man came out after being told to drop
the weapon, at the Officers. Justifiable shoot.
And being mental has nothing to do with officers protecting themselves!

Did they shoot it out of a cannon? With a crossbow?

Schizophrenic people are responsible for a lot of death and violence.
Does the officer have to make a 30 second Psycological exam and then just pray the guy with the unstable brain doesn’t kill them?

Yeah he charged the cop. You can tell by the mother’s voice that she knew he was about to make a bad mistake and he did.
Mental illness is tragic but it isn’t a special magical armor.

Should’ve handed the guy a questionaire and a #2 pencil to mark his answers...

And she knew something wasn’t right with her son as she put distance between him by passing between the cops.

Many gun and stabbing deaths are from schizophrenic people.

I’ve dumped on the cops many times for nasty shoots:
THIS is absolutely not one of them.

schizophrenic people thought block and need time to process what is being said. Sometimes it is up to 15 to 20 seconds before they can respond to a statement.

Mental illness is tragic but it isnt a special magical armor. It's not being used as a special magical armor.
That's why it's called an illness.
On the other hand, all cop badges have the number 007 on them these days, so what does it really matter what was actually going on?
A cop got scared, so he shot someone to death. End of subject. People who think anything else is necessary just don't love America.

And being mental has nothing to do with officers protecting themselves! I worked in a nut ward. One of the worst things we ever had to experience, was some nut who was off his meds. It was often times, very scary.

Good grief...seriously. How bout pepper spray? Perhaps using that big ol yeller stun gun on his hip. Hell, cap him in the thigh.
He had to shoot the guy five times? Take a man's life like that.
This is a classic example of trigger happy cops.
To: A CA Guy
Wait...what?
I’m confused.
I live with someone who is borderline mental.
My bedroom door is barred every night...
