        Good question. Fear for their lives is the excuse used for killing blacks. Take that uniform off - the job is inherently life threatening.

        Or when you're holding a knife and walking towards police, you stop after they give numerous commands to do so.

        Scout was wrong but a taser would have dropped him to the ground.There was time to evaluate the situation. Should have made a better choice.

        Probably because he was high as hell and charging the cop with a knife. Cops don't like that...

        That's outrageous! They could have subdued him with nothing, he was small, but even a stun gun would be better than killing the young man.

        I'm seriously shocked there are people defending the abuse of authority displayed here. Deadly force against a clearly harmless person, fear
