Ex-Basketball Player Shot Dead After Slashing Cop

For those who say this is unjustified, what the hell do you expect the officer to do.

Genuine question.

[IntellectualWarrior-wg]

Skin color doesn't matter she was dangerous.

[StarStarbreez]

she gets to slash him without getting shot right away and we still question if he's in the wrong wtf lmfao

[chrishenson]

That cop had so much restraint it almost killed him.

[christopherroberts]

I saw the whole video. She was coming after him like Mike Meyers in a horror film. Kept saying, "I got something for you. And I'm gonna get you." He shot her numerous times and she was still coming. He shot her one last time, she took a step forward with the knife and said, "oh Lord or I don't feel so good" and fell backwards. It was straight out of a horror film. The cop was justified

[PrimaryBlade]

cop showed alot of restraint didnt shoot after he got slashed, gave her a chance by backing up

[ricardo]

She was taking the bullets like a terminator. I was scared for the cop for a second there.

[freddyotonielespinoza]

But here is another point, the officer cant run because he also has to ensure others safety, you cant just let someone dangerous roam arround out of sight

[RGMerkel]

That officer did everything not to use deadly force.

[imperiousrex]

If he would have ran and somebody came outside their door to see what was going on, and she stabbed them, he would have been held responsible.

[packersinhd]

FYI, the officer ran down the hall to a dead end. Thats where he started pleaded with her. He missed the hall way on his left because you know, just getting stabbed will make you panic especially when they are still coming at you. He had to run past her, where she attempted to stab him again back towards her apartment where he got off the last 3 shots and she went down. Nothing he could have done. She made her choice that day no matter what state of mind she was in. Sad all around.

Tazing often doesnt work, pepper spray often doesnt work.

Dont charge cops with a weapon. Or really, at all.

[KingMuncheez]

This was suicide honestly. Sad. She wanted to die.

[thiagots]

What if the officer runs for help and she decides to attack someone who just decided to see what was all the noise?

[joshuatempleton]

he was backed into a dead end, retreating like that could have gotten somebody hurt. the officer was fully justified. idiots saying the officer should have left after she opened the door do not understand procedure.

[melllvar]

I don't think I would trust a tazer with my life after I was just attacked and cut with a deadly weapon and the person is coming at me with that weapon. What was the officer supposed to do?
He wants to make it back home to his family just like anyone else. Its a shame she died but he has a right to defend himself.

[kevinfrombrooklyn]

In B.L.E.T (Basic Law Enforcement Training) we're taught a knife is considered deadly force, and in response, an officer is to use his gun. If she had hit him with say, a wooden spoon, then he would have to meet her at that level and use his taser. 🚔 🚓 👮🏾‍♂️👮🏾‍♂️

[aresgodofwar]

That's her fault and the cop had no choice especially when she has a weapon. She was told multiple times to get back

[bluespiral]

If that's not textbook, and i mean literal, legit explanation or demonstration of self-defense, then I don't know what is. The cop was the one that was brutalized in that incident.

[chasedyer]

Cop can’t run and leave an armed and dangerous person. Can’t match lethal force with less lethal force
