Shooting violent people that attack others with bladed long weapons is a justified use of force. No doubt there are better and worse ways of handling situations like this but if it’s racist police murdering innocent people you’re looking for then this isn’t it.
If you watch the video it’s reaching shears. Don’t make this out like it’s a sword. And he’s holding it a hand on either end so he has no leverage to swing it. You could easily tackle him and render them useless.
Absolutely a fucked up panic shoot that will get swept under the rug with the rest. Cowards shouldn’t have badges and they should face charges for playing judge dredd.
Near impossible to tell from the video but definitely looks more like a hoe to me. Also, the cop had around 4 seconds to figure out what to do and he’s literally running away from the guy chasing and about to swing at him with it the moment they opened fire at him. It doesn’t get much more legitimate from that.
Okay and still, what leverage does he have with his hands like that?
This officer also created the situation by not waiting just a couple seconds for his buddy. Instead we have two guys acting individually with just pistols.
There’s certainly no other outcome expected from a couple guys panicking with guns
I’m just saying I’ve had the shit beat out of me a few times, and based on my experience ain’t no way I’m gonna analyze somebody’s arm angle, stance, gait, wind speed, and other atmospheric conditions like I’m some fucking shonen anime fighting savant in 4 seconds.
Hell I don’t think I could’ve gotten off a shot in 4 seconds, I’d be laid out by this kid and he’d be wailing on me.
Maybe you’ve had amazing training on this front and could make such a calculus, but most people don’t, and cops aren’t much better trained than regular people.
14 weeks in Georgia, tender care of the Army. But forgive me for thinking the police should at least be able to do better than the Army whose default win mode is achieve the objective without committing a war crime.
And it’s easy to get a draw and shoot down to about 1 second. But they really should have had weapons up going in, together. They knew it was a call about an aggressive minor. They could have easily had one guy trying less than legal with guy 2 ready to shoot.
The lack of training to use deadly force isn’t an excuse. It’s a reason to disarm normal patrol officers.

Either you’ve never been swung on in your life, or you were incapable of absorbing any learnings from it.
Lmao. Sure buddy, whatever you say.
