Whiskey
Tango
F***ing Foxtrot.

7 seconds after asking this man to drop a knife he pumps 4 rounds into this man while missing with a 5th. I have seen no indication that the man made ANY threatening gestures towards the officer, nor that he was even aware of the officer's presence.

I hope they put that f*** cop in jail and hope he gets rape by all the inmates.

That guy needs to have his balls removed! Any real man would use common sense and address the situation properly and obviously see this guy as a potential threat. The use of force applied was greater than the situation called for. That idiot could have easily called for back up!

I'M UTTERLY DISGUSTED BY THIS OFFICERS ACTIONS!

Well, its Seattle. Everyone is angry all the time because its damp and crowded.

Thank goodness for Portland.

Yeah, here it's only damp and stoned.

[themadscientist]

that's, wow.
A guy is dead now. this is messed up.

This happened last summer? I'm Glad the video of this one didn't miraculously disappear like so many other police dash cam videos.

[Loki]

I think it didn't because there's so many witnesses. I believe you can hear a pedestrian basically going "Why the hell did you shoot him?"

[breadbox]

If I saw that I would probably citizens arrest that Cop with pummeling Fists. That was dumb on anyone's watch.

Yeah right. The idiot cop shot a half deaf person for holding a knife. Don't think hes going to take lightly to being arrested by a citizen.

[breadbox]

I wouldn't take arresting a cop lightly either, but that's just F'd.

[TOMMY VERCETTI]

The Cops must think that this is the Wild Wild West.

Doesn't matter what you saw or didn't see for one very obvious reason. It matters what that fat chic saw as she will be the witness and her word is going to either put that cop in jail or absolve him.

That cop must have had a blade held against his sack when he was 9, while his uncle jacked him off.....

I appreciate the job that the police do, but wearing a badge does not make you god (or unaccountable for your actions).

It's called common sense...... damn.

[Mr1der]

Seattle seems to have a history of douchebag cops rivaling those of Chicago...

sad damn state though.

this is what makes people fear and hate police.

[Dattebayo]

I personally think the cop should be made deaf and be shot five times.

[krimsonviper]

Well, I guess that'll teach you to abuse your wood in public!

Too soon?
