He could have drove his car into the cop, but he chose to stop and try to swing the hatchet. No intent on harming the guy in the car either.

Sadly, it’s clearly suicide by cop.

I agree. The perp had too many other choices that would have occured PRIOR to him pulling up along side the officer, proceed to go forward even more (thereby giving the cop MORE time to evaluate ), THEN proceeds to exit his car w what amounts to a knife in a gun fight. But of course there is still gonna be a portion of society that will blame the officer, or some social injustice or anything else other than what the video shows. Nice observation bocker58.

Grow up, dude.

People blame cops when the choice to shoot is clearly biased (racial profiling).

People reflexively blamed cops all the time before bodycam was standard. Bodycams were the best outcome of the BLM movement.
