Yet another black person killed by cop after calling 911

Sonya Massie all over again?

Edit: Sounds like the knife weilding assailaint that caused the victim to call the cops was trans? Anyhow, how do you shoot the guy with without the knife and then say "Stay on the ground with your hands up?" And the cop shot him 5 more times after he fell to the ground? I get it. "Split second decision" and all that stuff. But...you can't recognize who has the knife?

Are the Officers OK?

They are fine. So, ironically, is the knife weilding assailant who supposedly was trying to "commit suicide by cop." I'm not sure why he/she didn't try to rob a donught shop.

This is extremely upsetting. I would hope that in such a dynamic situation, that this Officer's extensive training would come in, and he would shoot both of them. But he only shot one of them??

That's almost certainly against procedure.

I'm seeing that the DEI training is working in that the cop deferred using lethal force from the tranny to the next marginalized special group, the black guy.

It is almost like de-escalation and social justice ranking all wrapped up together.

See, the program is working.
