This guy was going about his day, maybe even on his way to work since he was headed toward the train station when someone he doesn't know, or even knows about, calls the police. Police show up, this guy still has no idea what's going on, he freaks out (justifiably so since the BART police are known for being trigger happy and shooting unarmed train passengers, so he runs like hell. They catch up, they tase him twice, he freaks out and pulls his knife and is murdered for defending himself against what he perceives to be a completely unprovoked attack by the police.
Stop looking through the rosy police colored glasses and try see it from this guys point-of-view. Are you saying you wouldn't defend yourself if a bunch of cops rushed you and started tasing you for what you would consider no fucking reason?
Gimme a break Sly. If you're going to lay down in the street in the pre-arrest position every time a fucking cop shows his face, then you are finished with Sheep Training School and should consider becoming an instructor.

He was going about his day but wasnt the initial call about a man armed with a knife? So I guess typically you don't mind seeing normal folks walking around the streets with a knife in their hands? And you say we're the ones wearing hte rose colored glasses.
