He had a knife… on a stick.

I’ll need to see the video on this one, officers, but for now, mark me as damned skeptical that this killing was self-defense.

    Yeah, that’s why I was careful when writing my own. The article only gives a vague description of what happened. Even then, most of those descriptions come from people who need their actions to look justified, so they don’t lose their jobs or face charges.

      Yeah, that’s the truth. We don’t know the truth, except that someone’s dead. Won’t know the truth until the cops share the video, if they do.
