5 or 6 cops vs a guy who probably isnt in top physical condition? they could have just stood around in a circle and laughed at him until he wore himself out.  He wasnt armed and isnt a UFC fighter so whats the rush, takes like 5 minutes to fight like he was until you are exhausted.
gonna go out on a limb and say you've never been a life or death situation, this is as deluded as the people who always post they should have shot him in the leg or they should have tased him( in fact i think i read somewhere that they did try to tase him first), when someone's trying to kill you you don't give a thought for that persons life

This is 1 unarmed guy vs 5-6 men who are trained for this and they get themselves in a position where he can make a grab for their gun? do you not find that a little shocking?

If the homeless guy did get a hold of the weapon then yeah they then have no choice but to shoot to kill - Its a police error if that happened though. If it were a riot situation with several people and limited officers getting beaten up under life threat that would be different.

I dont understand why you are making judgements of the situations i may or may not have been in its ad hominem, last time i checked i was human and have been in a variety of situations if that helps.  I do try to avoid putting my life on the line for sure.

Conclusion is still: bad policing. im staying the fk away from USA.
