how could an unarmed old man be seen so threatening that he has to b shot to kill?

Answer: When you have been informed that he is armed, has hands out of sight, and is refusing to obey orders to stop.
-
okay but wouldn't you shoot to disarm @ most given that he's older and slower than any cop 20-50 yrs younger?
-
Real life is not a movie. You dont shoot to "disarm". If you shoot, your shooting to take down
-
visit your local police academy. that's real life
-
Yea, I visit stations all the time. I bring food and well wishes to these poor scapegoats

Police did their job. Police asked him to stop and take his hands out of his jacket. Mental illness sucks, but is not an excuse
-
that's what tasers are for
-
at about 15-20 feet, few tasers have that range
-
a lot do. Its about protecting & serving , not shooting when scared or confused. They could have done so much better
-
In that scenario, they are protecting and serving the civilians nearby. Sorry, but real life isnt as simple as you wish it

again "Unarmed" does not mean your not a threat to police or others, jeez I cant believe how dumb the media has made this country
-
73 year old man 20 feet away from you is a threat? You're not going to shoot him in the leg or arm first? Kill shot?
-
Conservatives always enjoy it when someone dies.
-

will the "indiscrimate" police killing ever stop? He was 73 years, 7 shots & turns out no weapon found on him. 1 shot to disable...

then they should be trained to at least disarm 1st before killing. Disgusting all these unnecessary killings.
