They know his name and he gets three minutes of "drop the knife"
But a white guy with a gun in a police standoff is given 15-20 minutes and they take him in alive... I hate this place
SMH, right? At least they released this body cam video, I guess they're trying to be a transparent as they can.

no beanbags, no tasers, no pepper spray...mind boggling.

thats a vast improvement compared to this
lets be honest, run towards a cop with a knife
your getting shot
But they aren't trying to hear you....
don't run from.....
don't run towards.....
DO NOT RUN!
Would you feel the same way if some bloods were running towards you?
Or they could be mentally handicapped.
But to bring a different issue.. Why are cops immediately going to guns? As professionals they've identified the threat, right? It's 1 man with 1 knife... Shouldn't they be able to disarm him since they are taught hand to hand combat? Don't they have batons? Pepper spray? Tasers/stun guns? There is little justification for shooting this man when you are trained to combat and not execute. I brought this up in a past thread... I watched live San Diego PD giving a white man orders for 20 minutes to "drop the gun" "be calm" etc. and this was a man with a gun near a school. He pointed the gun at them and they didn't shoot immediately. 20 minutes later they shoot him in a non-lethal area (all shots can be lethal though) and take him in to stand trial at a later date.
But when it's a black person idiots want to say "don't run... Just listen"...a criminal is a criminal regardless of race... But cops see it as ok to execute black men and let white men see justice from a judge.

Especially from a bean bag from a shotgun will stop anyone in their tracks.
Why even negotiate, knock him out with a few rounds bean bag, its only a knife.

A Black person is better off following orders than not..... or else we wouldn't have a thread like this every week...
We do not live in a post racial society sir....
- 1) whites are racist
- 2) cops can be white
-- Therefore white cops can be racist!
White cops can not or do not empathize nor sympathize with black suspects and that is why a black person is more likely to get killed when dealing with white cops...
