This guy is clearly another product of a failing system, institutionalised for mental treatment for over ten years then allowed to leave and end up living on the streets, If he no longer satisfied the legal requirements for being in the hospital then he should have had the proper release counselling before being discharged, continued psychiatric examinations and provided with somewhere to live even if it was some sort of hostel.
As for the incident, if he did try to grab the gun then I suppose the officers do need to defend themselves although being killed for it is too severe, I really have no idea why these officers keep on shooting to kill, however the guy recording the video claims the man never had any gun at all...

At least one of the officers had a body camera on and as yet they haven't released any information from it to go on so I will take the guy that was standing there at the scene watching as a reliable witness for now.

What annoys me is that people who have NEVER been to the US act like it's one of the worst places in the world for blah blah blah. Most of this stuff is just exaggerated in the media. There's nothing more the media loves than slagging off America. What I find even more disturbing is that people like to film these sort of events.

Likes cars that go boom

It was an execution the other officers would have had to step back so the guy could be shot 5 times to avoid being hit. There was no attempt to taser him.

I think the real issue is how we criminalize our mentally ill in this society.
This isn't a man who could have been working and participating as a contributing member of society as Arista would claim he needed to be doing to be of value... This is a man who should have still had medical help for his mental health, and was turned out on the streets to fend for himself. The outcome of his story was never going to end well. That being said... 5 shots to kill seems excessive for this situation

They are human beings, not burdens placed on our streets. I am fairly certain they didn't chose to be homeless.
