They didn't feel like using their tasers?
"Still under investigation"? There's nothing to investigate.
People carry weapons to protect themselves from police and gangs and the government thinks that they are breaking the law and that they can’t have a weapon so they don’t die
Comply an live ,plain an simple. Do good an live long .
They really had to end it at the noodles waste
Good -1
My question is if the police were provoked in actually getting out of the car and investigating him or not. What did the man do first that warranted suspicion in the first place? Was he just walking around at night?? Did they know he had a knife??
Dude didn't charge anyone. 🙄 This nonsense has to stop.
The police department will pay out on this one for sure. And all you taxt payers will pay for their mistake.
All you guys are sick, lack of a better word. If you listen you will hear the young man say ok when the officer tells him to take his hand out of his pockets. If you look both his hands are out, like the officers asked him to do. As he takes his hands out of his pockets, it shows his hands are empty, he's holding nothing. Not one time do you see him put his hands back in his pockets while he's walking. He's walking sideways as 3 officers approach him with guns. I know the officers body cams are crystal clear, so why is the video shady, as if the police department isn't making it clear because " cops lie". The young man didn't bolt at the officers, he was trying to get by because the officers had him cornered. Not all cops are bad but they sure do follow suit behind the ones that are.
i still dont understand why the officers couldnt use their tasers. like why?
HORRYFYING.
Last resort is first resort kinda world
ITS JUST A KNIFE, we deal with it in bars every weekend, no reason to shoot if he is so far away as show the video ,,, many other options to stop it
Good old fresno, I miss home
I will always shoot a knife wielding threat even if the threat slowly walking towards me and around 15 feet away. Is it always better to put a threat down then let him stay up.
Fresno 🙌🤣
So the cops couldn't just use a taser on the guy? Seems like an unnecessary escalation of deadly force. I thought they taught cops about proper response.
They should have all tazed him at least 🤷🏽♀️
They killed him over a knife, why not use a taser loser’s
Cops love gun shot just for Bad danger 😢
I’m a police officer and this is so unprofessional was shooting him really necessary? I would use my taser Instead of my gun he had a knife not a gun this is sad I sat 2 year in the academy learing how to deal with this kind of situation.. USA law enforcement gets an F
Yo why u shoot? I didn’t do nuffin!
Didn't see that coming!
What was the guys crime? Seems like that should be an important aspect of this..
These comments are the reason America is doomed. How about if I pull a handgun you can only defend yourself with a knife. If I punch you in the head you can only defend yourself with words.
Would still be alive and receiving much needed treatment for a mental health condition, if the US used tasers instead of guns in most instances! It’s quite pathetic they shoot a man with a knife, different if another gun imho. But hey, just glad I don’t live in the US.
Just listen and obey you will be ok
Do they have a Taser? A clear Mental Case, Coward Safety first, No wrong doing, and Promoted, America’s Heroes.
Why don't they aim for his hands?
he's 50 ft away and 3 cops are sooo scared all 3 shoot him so many times that even L&C won't show you what they do. No one needed to open fire. All the cops have body armor.
NEVER bring a knife to a gun fight
jackson jacked his own life
So these criminals can kill people anytime they want, but They are insisting to take the GUNS from all legal gun owners. So, who's using the guns for real M.F.
people gone crazy there now. smacks a cop, insult a cop, assault a cop, shoots a cop.
The sad part? I was just at food max and forgot cream cheese for one of my favorite recipes. So tragic😢
Would like to see a bit more 'cos the commentary bears little resemblance to what we actually see.
Did you folks forget about the less-lethal?
wow, so many combat experts in the comments… some suggested the officers should disarm the guy, bare hands!!!… this people think real life is like a Steven Seagal movie 😂😂😂… and they don't like the idea to risk the life of a K9 but they are totally fine with losing a couple of cops trying to disarm the guy
Blah blah blah 🥱😴
You've got skinny Andre the giant and Mr Afraid to get too close, and yall thought shooting him was the ONLY option? I know FPD is one of the most corrupted out there but they really don't seem to care anymore. That man was just high hobbling through the matrix or something
If it had been a mass shooter they would have ran away, bunch of cowards.
So many naive comments on this video.
Go learn something about law enforcement before thinking you know anything about it. Read a book, take a class, learn something. Maybe your local PD or SO give "citizen's academies"?
Let's go
I don't understand why three cops shoot to kill in a situation like this, when the man poses no immediate threat to their lives – he's too far away and holding a knife NOT a gun.
If they're so trigger-happy, why don't they shoot him in the legs? I'm sure three policemen could safely disarm a knife man laying on his back with legs full of bullet holes.
