the question is how does he back away now that he has the dog all pissed off?
you cant hand cuff the dog, maybe wait until they get a pole with a snare?
iono, if i were him id be thinking "great, now what the fuck do I do?"
seconds later the officer was torn to shreds by the angered pittbull

I don't really think it was out of line what the Police did, I mean they were cornered, the man was threatening them, he had pen in his hand (But what if it was a shank), Maybe they really didn't see another option. You guys gotta remember the type of people these cops deal with on a day to day basis, just the shittiest forms of scum so they will always be on edge!
What really saddens me about this though is that the man had a mental illness. There have been a number of documented cases in the past where officers have misunderstood the handicap's intentions or that he is unable to control how he is acting.
Still sad the whole thing!
Sir! I hope the Redskins lose every game they play for the next 37 years.

All they had to do is tip the guy over.  I'm guessing both these cops are a less than nimble 300+. No way the shooter ever lives this shit down.

They didn't know it was a pen, all they knew is that this man was being very hostile and threatening the officer verbally and he was trying to stab him. When you are a cop, you are trained to act fast and take no risks, they did what they were trained to do. It was a judgement call.
Its not like he just shot him just to be an asshole, he shot him because he thought him and his partners life were in jeopardy!
It sucks and its a shitty situation! But not being in the cop's shoes its very easy to sit here online and point fingers, I repeat... day in and day out these cops deal with the lowest of the low, so they are always on edge and always have their guard up!
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME  ?? YOU KEEP JUSTIFY A COP WHO JUST KILLED A DOUBLE AMPUTEE ON THE WEELCHAIR BECAUSE HE WAS HOSTILE AND WAS VERBALLY THREATENING HIM !!! WHAT THE FUCK ! YOU JUSTIFY A COWARD COP WHO FELT HIS LIFE IN DANGER BECAUSE HE WAS CORNERED BY A DOUBLE AMPUTEE IN A WEELCHAIR WITH A PEN !!! THIS FUCKING COP IS WORST THAN GEORGE ZIMMERMAN!!!

If you don't want to die, listen to the fucking cops. Don't be a shit magnet by waving an object around. Do what they ask.

I know my opinions sound very cold hearted.... but bear with me, none of us were there to say exactly what happened and how it looked.
But the cop said he could not see what was in the mans hand... regardless of how close it was, maybe it was dark, maybe it was not so obvious it was a pen. The point of the story is that the cops felt threatened.
Sure if they knew it was a pen and still shot the guy regardless then that would be a dick move and completely unjustified. But if they genuinely believed their life was in danger then i really cant blame them for what they did. You all have to remember the situation could have been very heated, everyone is on edge, everyone is in a panic, everyone is yelling, this guy is being hostile and trying to stab a cop with an unidentified object (according to the cop).
Before you guys jump on me for sounding cold hearted , believe me i sympathize for this disabled man so much, my brother is handicapped and mentally disabled and i can see him maybe not able to control himself or his actions in stressful situations, so a scenario like that is my biggest fear regarding my brother.... but im looking at it from the other perspective.
If the cops really didnt know what was in his hands then it was a hostile situation and they acted by the book.
But if they did know it was a pen and still shot the guy, then obviously i would say they were out of line.
