The cop did a perfect job, thank you for keeping us safe!

[johnnyfive]

He drew a knife on a cop. What did you expect would happen?

[TheMarineris]

Charged for what? Shooting the suspect coming at you with a knife?

[joemorales]

This is more evidence that news channels focus on skin colors instead of actions.

[wanaraz]

He had a knife and was advancing. I don't see a problem. The trash made his decision.

[narflethegarthok]

Cop is just doing his job. Stop making these people look like bad guys when they are put in life threatening situations every day

[ppcli]

Notice how Dramatically they say Black Man.

I salute to officer like him! Thank you for keeping our street safe while the politicians try to make Bay Area criminals’ heaven

I had a friend lose his grandmother due to someone who was dropping big rocks off the overpass on the freeway. He had to watch his grandmother die. They never caught the guy. Hope this was him.

What else the police officer supposed to do, the guy has a god damn knife.

[wanaraz]

The family cared nothing for him but now that he's dead the dollar signs jumped out.

[Raven]

Why would you pull a knife on a police officer? Someone wanted to die that day.

[Standoffmuffin]

What else should he had done wait for a social worker so they can get stabbed as well?

[accent]

They low key want the officers to just stand there while the suspects kill them.

[arnoldapostol]

That knife is a deadly weapon, pulling one out to an officer is a idea.

[human]

The suspect was very close to cop.
He also moved forward with a knife.
Why would a person be carrying a knife??.
Would we be feeling safe if this suspect was this close to us or our family with a knife????.

[yardhostler]

Kids, lesson learned never bring a knife to fight a cop.

[hayabusa]

Cop did the right thing. Guy pulled a knife started advancing on the officer.

[apt]

I guess it’s too hard for him to follow the orders.
