Apparently he was shot over 10 times and killed.

Couldn't one of those cops just have wounded the poor bastard instead of killing him?

Even 20 feet away, if he charged one of them, he could have easily been shot in the leg.

Hindsight is always 20/20, so if a cop ever tells you to surrender, do so. Some of them may have itchy triger fingers.


Put it this way, you break into my house and won't drop your weapon I will punch a couple holes in you. You think I am going to wait and see what you do? Now, if you head towards the door, fair enough. You stand and won't lower your knife and I will not hesitate to squeeze off a couple of rounds and I will train the laser sights on your head or heart.
