I could see how they could mistake a silver pipe for a gun, but there is no excuse for police not to have bodycams at this point

"All he did was just walk around the neighborhood," WastelandCowboy posted... he took a "two-handed shooting stance and pointed an object at the approaching officers," WastelandCowboy posted... responded to three 911 calls at around 4:40 p.m. describing a man wielding "a silver firearm" and "pointing it at people on the street" It's an unfortunate understandable situation that body cams would add needed info for. --- ...

Pretty much any inclination I had to give cops the benefit of the doubt disappeared when it turns out that guy allegedly trying to attack them with a cellphone was shot six times in the back.

I'll wait for more evidence to come up, and I'm trying to find the clips I saw on tv, but this seems pretty clear.
From what I saw he was running around. threatening people with a not-gun that looks very much like a gun. The people threatened with it thought it was a gun. I thought it was a gun from the footage. --- [ S p e e d b o o s t ] https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU ... Copied to Clipboard!

even if a person isn't actually using a gun in a crime, if the victim believes there is a gun it counts as a gun.
pointing something that looks like a gun at people, and then cops is a really dumb thing to do. i'm sure there will be idiots blaming the cops though...

Four of the five police officers who responded to the scene fired on the man after he took a "two-handed shooting stance and pointed an object at the approaching officers," Monahan said. I'm always interested in this aspect of police shootings. Why do some officers, in the same position, fire repeatedly while others shoot less or not at all? --- "You should always waste time when you don't have any. Time is not the boss of you." ...
