I suppose those of you who think the cops are trigger happy should think about this.

So young, what a tragedy! It's a shame there are folks out there cold enough to do something like this.

Yeah. Well said. Should be said more, really, because it puts it about as simple as one could put it. Debate motivation all you want, but ultimately, someone has lost their humanity to do something like this.

It's odd from the beginning for some reason I could tell which officer was going to do the fatal take down. The autistic man only put out his hand because he was trying to protect himself not attacking or in any way become aggressive towards the officer. I wonder what has happened in this case?

Peace

That's not how I saw it at all.

The autistic man was gesturing at all the officers and was not in protection mode. He was agitating.

With that said, I could tell who the offending officer was as well. Further, this is clearly a case of aggression as the autistic man was clearly no threat regardless of his pointing and 'touching'. The abusive cop is an ass and should face charges. I'm pretty sure he never meant to kill him, but ultimately, assaulting that harmless fellow was like attacking a child- it was malicious... just plain mean.

The first cop was very patient and professional. I hate to point this out, but if they were moving the man to a holding cell, they likely should have cuffed him. Doing so speaks to the value of the procedure and would have at least saved this situation.

Another good cop gunned down.

Man Threatens Suicide, Police Kill Him

In Canada, as you know, the only cops with assault rifles are ERT- specially trained to deal with volatile situations.

Does arming every cop on the block with an assault rifle and related gear alter mentalities? I never got the impression these cops were special forces.

Yeah, It's becoming a real problem. It's not that I don't think police shouldn't be properly armed, they should. But this militarization of American police forces is going in the wrong direction. I'm also worried that were not to far behind here in Canada.

^^^^^ This is not a guy who intended suicide by cop. This was a guy who was lying in bed in his own home, drunk and maudlin and regretting his relapse. He didn't call the police himself, or go out seeking them - his girl friend called the police. The whole issue of whether she felt threatened in the situation is a red herring - she wasn't locked in the house with him, she was safe outside.

Yes, intoxicated people are unpredictable. However, I've been involved with literally dozens of cases when the police successfully deal with intoxicated suicidal people. The properly trained and motivated officers have a calmer, slower, approach that builds rapport with the individual which goes a long way toward getting them to a safe place. The running-in-all-guns-blazing approach just escalates the situation.

I'm not going to lie... I looked up 'maudlin'. I annoint you the vocabulary king of the MT.

I'm pretty sure you casually tossed another humdinger out there last week as well. Your stock is soaring!

who knows what actually happened in the house, but at the moment, all the evidence points to "it's almost my coffee break....let's wrap this up".

A suburban Dallas police officer has been placed on leave after a video showed him pushing a 14-year-old girl in a bikini to the ground outside a pool and pointing his gun at other black teens.

Thankfully, he didn't shoot
