Edit: n/m didn't know the guy had a knife.
He's rushing at the cops with a knife, that doesn't seem like a threat to you. There's about 15 seconds from the time they get out of the car until they shoot as he is upon them. That's not a lot of time to decide oh gee that's a knife and I think I can use a taser instead of a gun so let me holster my gun, get out my taser, take aim and fire it.
Anyway, just another dumb that got himself shot.
Edit: n/m didn't know the guy had a knife.
There's plenty of videos out there of police getting stabbed for the " knife isn't a deadly weapon" crowd.
I honestly didn't know that the guy had a knife. If he did that changes the scenario entirely. Let me watch it again.
Defiance comes at a price but stupidity is paid in full.
Looks like it's a relatively quiet night in ferguson according to twitter. everyone is exhausted I guess

from political forum. this old piece of was armed and aiming at citizens. cops came and DID NOT KILL HIM. happened on tuesday.
this happened yesterday in missouri
PLATTE COUNTY, Mo. — Authorities with the Platte County Sheriff’s Department and Missouri Highway Patrol responded to 43 calls of a man pointing a firearm at traffic on Interstate 29 shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday. Forty-six-year-old William R. Elders Jr. of Cottonwood, Idaho was taken into custody after officers had to use a Taser to subdue him.
On Wednesday he was charged in Platte County with one count of unlawful use of a weapon, a class D felony. He’s currently being held in jail on a $35,000 cash-only bond.
The Platte County Sheriff’s Office says Elders was walking along the area of southbound I-29 about a mile north of the 273 Highway exit and allegedly pointing a rifle at passing traffic. A probable cause statement says officers arrived to the scene and found Elders with a shouldered rifle pointing it down the interstate. A deputy said Elders began a scanning motion and pointed the muzzle at a passing vehicle before he was subdued.
He was then taken to a hospital for evaluation and was later booked into the Platte County Jail. Officers said they recovered the rifle at the scene.
A check of court records in Idaho only show misdemeanor infractions where twice he was found guilty of failing to provide a driver’s license or proof of insurance and once where he was found guilty of disturbing the peace. Online records don’t show when he’s due in court to appear for the charge filed against him Wednesday.
The sheriff’s office says it doesn’t have any evidence that indicates Elders actually fired the rifle at anyone. While the investigation continues, if you witnessed Elders in the act before police arrived or know anything about the incident, you’re urged to call (816) 858-3521.
If I'm a police officer and a white guy was running at me with a knife you sure bet I'm going to shoot him dead. It's not always the black playing the "I'm black and you are discriminating me" card, homie. Sometimes you gotta look at their actions
he didn't run at them, did you watch the vid???
anyways, its not about playing cards. its real life. that chart is real. the people who were murdered were not committing crimes and were murdered, meanwhile the white men and women were killers and were apprehended with tender care. if you can't see the systematic racism then i don't know what else to tell ya.
i stand corrected, eric garner was killed for selling loose cigarettes smh
so those are the only 12 people involved in police shootings/apprehensions?
Is this your way of inviting chumpdumper to get a room with you and sanityannex?

According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports from 2000 to 2004, police-involved “justifiable homicides” kill about 350 people a year, 99 percent by shooting. Virtually all police-involved killings, most for good reason, are categorized as justifiable. Of those killed by police, 32 percent are black and 64 percent are white. While the percentage of blacks killed is high compared with the black percentage in America (13%), it is low compared with other indicators of violence, such as the percentage of homicide victims and offenders believed to be African American (both 48%).
Perhaps it is more useful to compare police-involved shootings with those killed by non-police officers. Among “justifiable homicides” by regular citizens—about 210 a year—African-Americans are 40 percent of those who kill and 56 percent of those killed. Compared with these numbers, police seem restrained in their use of force toward the black community.
