There are some good cops, but the truth is most start out as punk ass wannabe cowboys. That's why whenever you watch a video with multiple cops involved, they are all practically falling over themselves to get into the action, often to the detriment of the actual situation.
Just watch any chase on TV, when the suspect finally stops, every single cop draws their weapon, even ones behind other cops. It's a joke.
Unfortunately this happens with shootings as well. There are countless cases of suspects being shot over and over again by a bunch of cops when it is totally unnecessary.
For those that applaud the cops, what if that was a family member of yours who had a drug problem or a mental problem that got shot, would you be so quick to defend the cops then or only when it's a random nobody? I doubt it, I bet you would be on GFY talking about how you are going to sue those maniac cops for shooting an innocent man.
I'm not sure I buy the adrenaline defense or any of that. In a real shoot-out, yes you are not able to pick clean shots unless you are very highly trained and experienced in combat. But this was one guy with a knife and several cops all with their guns drawn. I doubt any of those cops felt truly in danger. Imagine if you and ten friends all had your guns pointed at one guy with a knife, would you be so scared you couldn't think properly?
