I don't know what these folks expect the cop to do. This is one of those cases that's just unfortunate. Someone coming at you with a knife in such a confined space is going to result in you defending yourself and then some.

cop antognizes the situation if anything, he is not there to keep a person from hurting themselfs, he is there to arrest a person trying to hurt themselfs, he is there to put some one in jail. Id be interested in finding out if any of these officers had a college education.This is on par with the elderly man who refused to take his medication so an officer killed him with a bean bag gun. this is not how an educated person would approach some one threatening to harm or kill themselfs.

If someone is charging at you with a knife you shoot to kill. Society is taking this Brown situation and starting to be irrational. OK so maybe he didn't have to empty his clip in him.
I'd like to think the cops could have tried harder to talk the victim out of harming himself before being so aggressive. But ultimately the outrage here is from the man being killed. They warned him several times to drop the knife.

I'd also state that no level of education can account for adrenaline, a bad mental state or pure panic, or just having a crappy day, that results in bad decisions being made.

Im all for police accountability but that might not be so black and white. What I would love to see is more disarming through non lethal arms and frankly some hand to hand combat. Some basic judo or jiu-jitsu could have resolved that entire situation with out loss of life.
