Quote:You paint the picture that the cops had to shoot him (mind you multiple times at point blank range) while simultaneously admitting the footage is inconclusive regarding him actually going for the weapon. Then you cite law about a fleeing felon when the perp was not fleeing. You are not a lawyer. Either the video is clear or it is not. You also have no proof they knew he was a felon.

That section of law was on the use of force.  The perp was resisting .  I am not a lawyer.  Either the video is clear or it is not?  the video has gray areas we do not know.  From the angles given we do not see a gun, we only hear about one.  Then after the fact we see it.  


I don't have any proof they knew he was felon.  However the first call they got was a large man with a gun was threatening a person.  When thats how you are described a situation thats how you deal with it.  You are dealing with a large person with a gun threatening people.


I see more suicide by cop than I see murder.  The man had numerous opportunities to go down quietly for the arrest.
