    I agree that there is a high possibility of bias based on who did the investigation. Unless there is evidence that refutes those claims, what are we suppose to base our opinions on? In addition, the video was released by the same group to show the public proof that he was indeed holding a knife.

    Did you read the report where the driver corroborated the knife or is he on the police payroll as well?

    Doing something this stupid in front of the police is just asking for it. Everyone should be well aware that police will empty their magazines into you if you make threatening gestures after ignoring multiple commands. If a cop is screaming at you with his gun out, you might get shot.

    This is basically the equivalent of seeing a bear eating salmon, and then charging the bear to steal its dinner. The guy wanted to die.

    Uh...

    No, more like disobeying orders to put your hands up and warnings like "I will shoot you," and then reaching for something (which was a knife) in a threatening way.

    You know, some people are actually asking for it. Your apparent reference towards rape victims is hilarious, though.

    Wearing revealing clothing poses a threat to whom exactly?

    WHOOSH.

    No he's making an analogy, like if you wear revealing clothes in front of a cop, & then he rapes you.

    Just saw the video...

    I like the patience shown, until the suspect went back into the truck. WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING!

    I would have emptied the clip the millisecond I saw a sharp pencil, much less a gun.

    WHOOSH yourself.

    I was showing how the analogy falls flat on its face when compared to brandishing a weapon.

    No amount of revealing clothing would justify raping/shooting someone, and the law agrees.
