The man was armed with knife, but he wasn’t walking towards the cops, he was walking away from the cops.
Could there have been another way?
The real question would be if he was white would he had done the same thing.
According to cops no.
According to reports and video footage, a Black man was fatally shot 11 times by police as he walked away from them.
The incident took place at a gas station in Lafayette, Louisiana, after police responded to a reported disturbance. An eyewitness on the scene noted almost a half dozen police showed up and ordered the man on to the ground, to no avail. In the footage, the man is reportedly holding a knife, and the police tried to tase the man as he continued to walk after their warning according to the eyewitness.
Once the man reached for the door of the convenience store, police fired off 11 shots, resulting in the death of the man.
The police department said the shots were fired just as the victim was about to enter the convenience store, armed with a knife. What they did not explain … why 11 shots?
The cops are all on paid vacation.
