People here defending the guy who got fired and acting like the guys who shot him are just trigger happy monsters.

No one here knows whether they were justified in shooting him because they werent in that situation.

What I think is interesting is that the fired cop had the situation calm and was working on de-escalating and it sounds like pretty much from the moment the other cops got there, the situation escalated quickly and the guy ended up dead. Perhaps that says something about their tactics and "protocol"?

As pointed out earlier the man was suicidal and wanted the cops to kill him. One cop correctly assessed the situation and worked towards a non violent solution, the other cops rolled up and and were like "he waived a gun at us, blow him away boys."
