    As much disgust as I have for cops failing to deescalate or just shooting first and fuck you for asking questions, there are occasions where it’s justified.

    Dude wanted to be shot. Don’t know if deescalation would have been on the table.

      If dude wanted to be shot and he had a gun he could have shot himself.

      This reeks of coverup and a planted weapon.

        While it may reek of that to you, the video shows him pulling something out that looks like a gun (but broke apart when hit by a bullet). It likely was a fake gun, and he ran at the cops with it to get shot intentionally.
