Of course not. And they were undoubtably defending more than themselves in that instance. But have you seen the video? For one thing you can't even see the knife it's so small, and for another he didn't look like much of a threat at the time as far as I'm concerned. He wasn't running after the cops, he was walking slowly and gesturing. Like the world is supposed to be terrified out of their boots.
The whole thing brings up the question of if procedure in this case is well-thought out, and if training is truly sufficient, and I think the blacks have every right to bitch here.
I saw the video and wondered about what you're saying. One thing I consider is that we didn't see all that the police saw. If the police acted wrongly, they need to be punished, but I can't judge based on what little the video showed.
I really don't want to be arguing about this, so I think I will bow out.
