I agree with the sentiment that cops are way too trigger happy whilst seemingly being terrible shots, but you can’t gloss over the fact that this person was armed with a knife. They weren’t just chasing down someone who didn’t want to cough up $3. Criticism is warranted, but context matters.

It's legal to carry knives in your pocket, actually, and still not a valid reason to shoot someone Maybe we shouldn't be having armed agents of the state chase people down over $3

He had a knife in his pocket, which they only learned after they Tased him. They literally were chasing after someone who skipped a $3 fare.
