You are very one sided on this whole cop thing. There are some bad cops, no doubt. Those guys in New Orleans should be strung up and hanged. This situation seems somewhat straightforward.
The investigation will show for sure. Running from cops is not a good idea. Pulling a knife out in front of cops is not a good idea. Charging a cop with said knife in "self-defense" is not a good idea. This guy was either mentally challenged (which makes him even more dangerous) or he was a guy with intent to do some damage. Neither look very good for him in the eyes of a cop trying to detain.

Funny how he was doing just fine minding his own business before they (BART cops) showed up isn't it? It's not like they were responding to some sort of "situation". The guy was not holding someone hostage with his knife or even bothering anyone. Did it really need to unfold this way? Probably not. But you get those BART cops involved and someone is going home in a box no matter what.
But.... I've talked myself blue in the face over this shit before. People will blindly side with the police in most cases. And that's fine. I don't really give a shit what other people want to think or what fantasies and fairy-tale realities they choose to live in. This is just my way of bringing a little light to the thing, while the rest of you stroke yourselves and call this dead guy an idiot that "deserved" to die that day.
