San Antonio Police shoot and kill man armed with a knife with arms up in the air
In full disclosure he had allegedly assaulted a woman, he resisted arrest, police state they tried to use tasers first. The bit of video clearly shows the officers were not in imminent danger. Despite the build up, you can not excuse the police for shooting a man holding his hand up as if to surrender IMHO. The news station freezes the video at the moment the cops shoot:
EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Fatal deputy-involved shooting
video is in link.
Im eager to hear the LEOs position on this shoot because the guy absolutely was resisting, and nonlethal means had proven unsuccessful, however the officer's lives were clearly not in danger. In your department would this be considered a good shoot?
