The way I read it, he was scared, and fear causes people to do stupid things. Police are supposed to know how to tone that sort of thing down, and all these guys seemed to do was escalate the situation.
Pretty lame excuse in today's world , how are police supposed to know if he had weapons hidden in his car or not? Most of the people who get killed by police are killed because of furthertive movement.
He told the 911 operator he had hammers, rebber mallot and a knife. Clearly he was having a mental issue when he indicated that he feared "skin walkers" ???? would attack him if he got out of the car. How in the hell could he harm anyone when he is seatbelted behind a steering wheel with both hands on the wheel until 'killer cop' jumps on hood pulls his weapon and aims it at the confused man who now has his pocket knife in one hand while the other one remains on the wheel. The confused man clearly is more agitated and fearful. At his point several pain causing, non lethal, bean bags are fired at him, hitting him in face, head and shoulders miliseconds after he was tazed. You see his face demeaner change as he moans in pain. This is when the window mear inches from his head is broken sending glass at his face causing a mechanical self defensive reaction to swing hand holding the pocket knife toward the area of the attack. Please convince me that this man who'd called 911 because he was trapped inside his car and imagined preditors aka "skin walkers" were outside waiting to kill him was a serious threat to any of those officers who had themselves become in reality the dangerous preditors. Whether caused by drugs or a medical/mental condition there was no reason this man should have died.
Why didn't he just cooperate with the police instead of being an ass?
