Why didn't they just deploy some spike strips or do a PIT maneuver?

Of course we have to see the video

You dont expect anyone to take your word for it, do you?

After seeing the video I think the officer used excessive force on a white criminal who was stricken with the Black Brain Disease

"Instead of providing the receipt, Mr. Richards brandished a knife and said, 'Here's your receipt.'"

There are days when I think gun control needs to start with the cops.

Well thats just fucked up!!
It's not like those motorized wheelchairs are all that fast. And all you'd need to do is step up on a curb or a few steps to avoid him.
Let him go into the store and follow him in and warn everyone the guy has a knife.
Eventually the battery will die and he'll be going nowhere.

They may have been able to take him if he didn't attempt to kill anyone. Aggressive shoplifter armed with a knife in a motorized wheelchair. CNN left out that part.

The man pulled out something that is life-threatening and made it as clear as crystal glass that using it in a life-threatening way was his only intention and so why was the cop fired for doing what is supposed to be the job that they are paid to do?

God bless you and him always!!!

His superiors said that this is not what he is paid to do.

I find it hard to be sympathetic for a man shoplifting while threatening people with a knife. Im glad he is dead.

Just because somebody is in a motorized wheelchair doesn't mean they cannot walk or run just as fast as anyone else.

Hell, even the serial killer Ted Bundy used to lure his victims to their deaths by pretending to be disabled.

What do they recommend be done when an armed rodent is out there running rampant?

God bless you and the former officer always!!!

[Blues Man]

How much of a threat is a guy in a wheelchair?

If he had a gun I could see shooting him but a knife? No need for deadly force in that instance

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ Maybe that is why the officer was fired.

God bless you always!!!
