Calgary police shooting

You expect them to jump on him as he’s flailing a knife around and in the process of stabbing the dog?

When you sign up to be a police officer you sign up for the risks. They should be receiving training on various ways to handle all situations.

If this man was in fact having a mental episode he could have not understood the instructions of officers. So they decided to shoot at him first making the situation worse. Why not have officers approach from behind him when sitting? Seems to me the situation didn't have to end with a fatality

He could have easily been tackled by police instead of being shot from the video that was posted in post 7.The guy appears to have no combat training at all and is all over the place. For a bunch of trained officers I dont feel like killing him was the only choice

Or just shoot the useless fuck with the knife who's stabbed a dog, and won't drop the knife.

It's cheaper and safer on society this way.

Shot at him first?

So he chooses to get a weapon and leave his home. Then he chooses to confront the public with it and assault one person, police are called. Police show up, try to talk him down at length, which goes nowhere. They deploy an ARWEN twice and a taser, which don’t have the intended effect. Then he picks up his weapons and charges the police, nearly killing a police dog before getting shot.

But yeah, the cops shot him first thing and should try to tackle him.

This guy was probably a dad or a brother to someone. Have some compassion. We don't know what he was going through.
Maybe you should sign up to work for cps, seems like you fit the attitude

You're assuming he got the weapon from home, assuming you know what police said and for how long.i don't see all that you are saying in the video unless you're assuming

What about compassion for the cops who were just out there doing their jobs, getting attacked for no reason. Don't they have families to go back to?

Seems like your posts make it seem like they are expendable robots who shouldnt protect themselves and the public

Why is it that police in the UK aren't armed and are more successful in de-escalating situations over there but not here in Canada? I don't know all the details but apparently the man was a Sudanese war child with plenty of mental health issues. I'm not saying this gives him a free pass but there are ways to handle situations like this that doesn't have to end in death.

When was the last time you were in the UK?

There are police with m4's and full tac gear walking around all over London...

Guaranteed they are better off without him. Obviously.

If he does that to the cops, dog, the people at the transit stop, imagine how awful he must be at home.

Watch more movies bud. This is the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

Are you an idiot? Police officers sign up to do a particular job not to get stabbed. They aren't the mafia or Narcos. They took all the reasonable steps to allow this person to help himself not get shot while maintaining their personal safety. That's why they have guns, so they can maintain their own personal safety in extenuating circumstances, which this was.

So at work, you regularly perform tasks have a high potential for life changing injury or death? Like jumping on a guy who's already stabbed a living thing and is waving a knife around? I would imagine such a workplace could be criminally charged. They did have training and they followed it. What part of drop your weapon was ambiguous?

Absolutely nothing. There’s enough video of this that between the previous assault(s) that resulted in the call and the injuries the police dog, that I’d hope the courts would have some common sense and give them nothing. If anything, the CPS should apply to seize funds that his kids are grifting on GoFundMe to pay for the dog’s care and the training cost of the one that might be needed to replace it
