Sad!!!! ☹️
I hope the lawsuits come out of the police department funds and Pension funds! The taxpayers should not have to pay for this lawsuit!
Let’s feel bad for a criminal who stabbed someone you know how many police officers are shot and killed imagine if we protested for every police officer killed yeah stfu
What is wrong with these people shooting people with no legs
Wow man
Whaaat? Everybody isn't meant to be a cop
funny.
Key words: "holding a knife"
Justified
Nothing more than a cash grab by the family. Attempted murderer fatally shoot after threatening cop with knife. Justified.
How about using a long objekt to hit the knife out of his hands or pockets
"He was suffering from mental health" Ah so if you are suffering from mental health its ok to stab people? Kne.. I mean Fleeing from the cops or not he chose to continue to wield his deadly weapon and could have attacked someone else with it. Plus they tried to use non lethal force with the stun guns and those failed to subdue him. Sorry I side with the police on this one. This is another case of violent criminal does violent criminal things and gets killed because of it. Case closed. This would barely be a news report if the criminal had shins…
Murder 1
All cops should have to wear body cameras. It will absolve good cops and expose bad cops. It will absolve innocent civilians and expose criminals. It's 2023 why is this a political issue?
Excellent police work 👏.
Disarm the police . This is a disgrace , like seriously. Where was the man gonna run to ? In the back of a man with no legs.. I would say that's a new low but I know for a fact it's not. It's just very sad to see police abuse their power again, and nothing will be done about it. I wonder if their family will embrace them and tell them what a wonderful job they did by taking down the bad guys or what ?.. Stuff like this is why I don't talk to police , or will not have officers as friends. They are some of the biggest bullies and think they have a right to do anything they want.
He deserved it, period.
Wow such cowardice! All cops need cameras… Cameras have been a bad cops worse enemy. This is the only way to weed out the bad officers. Then there should be a Pay raise for them to make the job more competitive. We need good elite cops with balls out there. Not lazy dumb 8th grade level reading coward idiots like these.
WTF !!!
WHEN IS THIS MADNESS GOING TO STOP !!!
Police treat white mass shooters with more dignity than black disable people 🤦🏾♀️
Swear to God if HE WAS WHITE IT WOULD BE DIFFERENT!!!!!
Abolish the Police. Abolish 2A restrictions.
After his family gets the money from the police department,the other victim family that he stabbed get to sue this family 👌👌👌
New video of this black animal who was rightfully gunned down stabbing an innocent Mexican man prior to him being killed by the police.

Prayers to his family. This is so heartbreaking!!💔💔🙏🏽😢
OK, now look. This is a man crawling away from officers with his knife on stumps. He was not a threat to PoliceMEN with a gunS. Police need to be trained to shoot folks in a non fatal way in a situation where they OBVIOUSLY have the upper hand with a gun & they feel they must shoot. Come on. One shot to one of his stumps he was hop skipping on would have stopped him OR carry a cage net for this reason. A properly applied taser would have stopped him – something is fishy about that story as well. These officers in 2023 need to be wearing body cams. Also since they knew that they weren't wearing one…they just shot him dead. Let's see that video from the MD office.
god lord, what's tha back story
That look like execution style murder to me.. how tf is he threatening them or how do they fear for their lives with guns and the man trying to run away from them not towards them.
This is just horrible police work. They could have used less than lethal force such as bean bags. Tactical: A. 2 officers armed with pepper Guns and B. 2 officers armed with less lethal bean bags and shoot him until he complies and drops the knife.
I am more than confident that a dozen rounds of pepper balls and several rounds of bean bags will have him over the edge and likely needing EMT but he will survive the critical event. Sickening how poorly some departments officers are trained.
Nothing will ever happen to these officers… just so you know.
When does De escalation ever kick in with Black and Brown people 👍
