        Suicide by cop?

        If he was armed, absolutely. I need more to go on before I make my personal (aka meaningless) judgement of this shoot.

        You don't need to be armed to be dangerous, but I agree. This video shows far too little to make any good call.

        Agreed. I would say unarmed should provide less escalation on the Use of Force Continuum. Even still, my initial reaction is torn. The man was clearly dangerous or he wouldn't be attacking vehicles and disobeying orders, but if he wasn't armed, I'd understand it, but not like it.

        My first thought was "where was the taser?" but if the guy was high, it might not have worked, even if deployed. It's easy to armchair QB police. If rather see his body cam (if available).

        Body cam would be great. That said, TASERs are very expensive, and contrary to popular belief, not widely distributed. When I worked for Tulsa County, no one had TASERs up until 2014, and then only about 25% of deputies carry one. I quit in Dec. of 2017, so more may be out now.

        Video doesn't show a damn thing.. although you have to be a fool to keep engaging with a cop who's ordering you to stand down and fears you might be trying to assault them.

        From the info given it sounds like there are mental health/drug issues involved. Tragic event but too many cops have been shot with their own weapon to let an unstable person continue to approach after having been ordered to stop.

        Did you see him reaching or holding a gun or are we just to allow cops to shoot anyone cause they might be armed

        When you’re told to stop and get on the ground around seven times but fail to do so and instead continue to advance, you’re subject to be shot.

        I remember the old days when "suicide by cop" required to have a gun, now all good, we just need a phone. "there is an app for that"
