On a steamy August night last year, Michael Berry, 40, who had just stabbed a man, was shot and killed by a plainclothes Philadelphia Police officer. A surveillance video camera recorded the incident.

"Couldn't they have just stopped him, wounded Mike in the arm, the leg or hip?"

:wtf: Why do people keep saying this dumb shyt?

Police aren't trained to just wound anyone with guns; if they pull out that gun then shyt is about to get REAL. LOL @ asking them to try to hit a small-ass hand or leg, when they can hit the bigger chest area

Cops (should) only pull out the heat if their life is in danger or if someone else's life is in danger

That being said....I watched the video, and it looks like the cop who fired the shot wasn't in danger.....however, dude with the knife DID get close to the next cop, and he didn't appear to drop the knife :manny:

Either way.....no big loss here

while its hard to feel sorry for him because of his action I dont see how anyone can justify the officers action

He described two violations of police training procedures: One of the officers allowed the distance between Berry and himself to close so that it could have put the officer in peril, Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey said.

it never crossed ur mind to question why the police arent trained to wound instead of kill?
