At which moment in time are you referring? The only time I consider him a threat was when he sprinted at the officer.
Edit: I wasn’t clear initially my apologies.
He was a threat but never life threatening I guess is the best way to describe it. The only life threatening action was the police gunfire. Him sprinting at a cop with a knife in his hand is threatening but not life threatening imo. Specially not when he just casually stopped?? Then again adrenaline and all I’m not even sure the cop getting chased knew he had stopped by the time he was firing even though it seems very obvious.
I’m not so sure in this situation that I wouldn’t call him a threat. He shrugged off a taser or two?(unsure if they hit their taser darts or whatever) sprinted at an officer with a knife in his hand yelling shoot me if I heard correctly. But shooting at him 9 times is absurd. They shoulda just kept dancing around with him tbh and never drawn their guns only tasers. Or shit find a broom and just use reach he didn’t seem to want to hurt anyone but maybe suicide by cop from the whole sprinting at the cop saying shoot me. Again if I heard correctly.
Learned about how platypuses are basically evolutionary champions yesterday and river turtles inhaling air through their assholes today. I love it here.
This would be interesting. I agree 100%. I don’t know what type of law or precedent exists against this exact type of scenario but it’s for sure akin to yelling fire in a theatre.
This is the way
