edit: for the ones interested link to the tl thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=306001

Seemed to have a jagged edge? more like an axe? I might be wrong, felt the shooting was fine. Bloody idiot if you come out with a weapon, and cops are standing with guns pointing at you telling you to drop it, and instead you raise it, and pretend you're going to attack.

Maybe a little excessive, felt fine. And the guys laughing, felt a bit like "we're a bunch of friends, we laugh at stupid shit we wouldn't normally" and toward the end, almost like they felt "hmm, maybe I shouldn't have laughed this much".

But the guys were still pretty retarded, not making excusing for them, but didn't feel that bad.

So cops should have shot 3-4 shots I'd say, that'd be perfect.

And the guy filming should have done a "OHH FUCK" and a laugh right at the start, and then gotten serious, then It'd be perfect!

Quoting myself from the TL thread.

Wow no didnt see this yet! crazy

did they tazer him at the beginning and he just seems to turn around and be like AND WHAT? how can a tazer to the face do nothing?

and that doesnt look like a crowbar to me its definitely got something on the end, looks like some kind of pick axe.

the guy was a retard or wanted to die. The cops could've done the job with 2-3 short on non-lethal parts of his body.

I agree with Mariuslol and Im gonna go over the top. Im glad the dude is dead. One less idiot off the planet.

Agree with marius too
the people filming are just retards.... prolly on drugs...

Yeah I think this is barely justified cuz there's a point on the end and can kill with one swing. I wonder if there's a chart or something for this sort of situation, if the guy was holding a baseball bat I feel this would be too much force.

Try and change the scenario, I heard them cops experience so much "bad shit" so their bond to eachother is pretty high.

Imagine the same scenario, but instead of the guy turning toward a cop, he turns against your girlfriend, mother, or brother, I just feel in my stomach I'd be so glad if a cop shot him dead like this!

you can kill someone with a baseball bat...
thing is the cop cant shot him if hes too close to the other cop so obv shooting would have been fine imo
i think anyone that attack a cops deserve to be shot
its like people saying they are carrying a bomb at the airport... you just dont do that

+ he doesnt know the guy dont have a knife or something in his pocket,

Kinda middle of the road. Dude had a pick ax and was clearly an idiot, so it's hard to feel bad for him. Also the cops partner was slightly in danger, so shooting him was justified.

At the same time obviously I don't think he reacted optimally to the situation. After the first shot the guy starts falling backwards away from the officers, so its pretty damn obvious the following 9 or so shots are unnecessary, I dunno I guess you can't expect all cops to react optimally in a situation where their partner and probably friends life is in danger, so you can't really freak out about him shooting to much.

So while I think the cop overreacted, I don't think he should be reprimanded or anything.

Curious to see the victims record & toxicology report.

You can kill someone with a brick, rock, or even fists. Someone just putting up their fists doesn't deserve to die so u gotta draw the line somewhere. IMO a bat is very hard to kill someone with in one swing. Opponent can easily dodge or block and when you hit it has to be directly to the head and with plenty force.

This is sick.

Guy seemed emotionally out of control and although an idiot I can't help but feel some small amount of compassion for him. I don't know why the cops were so close to him considering they have ranged weapons. I wish they just kept their distance as this is was a tragic result.

I don't blame the cops, but I wish there was a way to manage this sort of escalation. Like even shooting him with animal tranquilizers or setting the dog on him.

Feel sort of dumb even sharing my thoughts (as they are not worth shit) on such a tragic event.

edit: guys filming this video and laughing should just both go kill themselves, i don't understand how anyone can find humor in a lost life, especially if it's in front of you. blows my mind how desensitized we have all become though.

the tazer didnt even affect him obviously on a crazy bender. Maybe even suicide by cop pretty stupid. He was two seconds away from a well placed hit to the head from killing the cop so justified shot. However seems the guy who got rushed fired off 6 rounds after he was already down lol!

why are you "lol!" about a guy getting shot up after already being shot up

wow wtf was that guy doing? did he think he could just waltz out of there and ignore the cops then bat away a tazer and keep walking? then he threatened to swing at the cop? what an idiot

The most troubling this in this video is the stupid, ignorant ghetto retards laughing after someone getting shot. "Dayummm he got murked!" Gawd why are fucking kids so fucking stupid these days...

Anyways the cops should have just stayed further away since the villain was clearly holding out his weapon out in the open. The stupid cops put themselves in range of being in danger, should have just released the hounds. The dumb criminal put his own life at risk, and with those sloppy cops he sure had shitty odds.

when a guy with a gun tells you to back the fuck off...you do it...or you face the consequences of a man pointing a loaded gun at you ;o

pretty simple. Although the guy was def not in a correct state of mind for sure.

I figured I would be like, what a dumb ass, got what he deserves. But in all honesty, wtf! Why did they shoot him 5 more times after shooting him 5 times, which clearly worked?

maybe they didn't want to risk one guy getting blamed for the kill shot.

Edit: don't remember if it was just one guy emptying his clip in the end.
