Idaho Deputies Shoot Man Armed With Knife

1. I really think for public safety police really need to have a 5 round limmit

2. qatluh

3. so sad for the parents

4. I thought steve-O was off the booze?

5. Crazy how this dumb officer never thinks to reholster his weapon after the suspect was shot and handcuffed. instead he has his sidearm pointed down but still facing his co workers flagging them… If someone is cuffed especially if they are also shot, always put your weapon away before something nearby startles you or you panic when suspect tries to move and you accidently shoot someone else including your partner.

6. If Michael had been (unmentioned race), there'd be riots and protests in the street!

   I'm joking… election season isn't for another couple years.

7. I think what really needs to happen is we step UP the game on equipment for police and when they have KNOWLEDGE of the whole scope of the situation. We should expect them to be armed with a 40mm BATON round that packs a PUNCH. So that way we aren't just executing people on the spot. Had this been a surprise attack. All bets off. Glass em. But when they have knowledge ahead of time to the situation. They should be required to use something that knocks them down good.

8. Mental health is something no one seems to want to talk about, yet it’s the cause of the majority of societies ills.

9. Fantastic that the police were kind enough to respond to whatever mental health situation led them there and then were nice enough to give that elderly couple a front row seat to the execution to their likely only potential care giver. Go america

10. “Micheal can you hear us?”.. how? You just dumped a whole mag load on the guy

11. Did they need to shoot him 15 times? For crying out loud, no taser? Absolutely nuts!

12. HOW LONG DID HER PARTNER ACTUALLY STAND THERE POINTING HIS GUN AT HER AFTER THEY KILLED THE PERPETRATOR?
    IT'S LIKE A WORLD RECORD.

13. I don’t know how to feel, I feel one should have went none lethal

14. Another example of how police have no idea how to do with mental cases. Shoot to kill it seems. FFS shoot his legs or tazer maybe, damn shame.

15. that wasn't necessary.

16. I don't understand couldn't they tased him first. It's not like he was shooting at the police. I'm not against police.

17. After the investigation, it was determined that the knife was sharper than Michael!

18. i'm betting his "mental illness" was related to taking copious amounts of druggzz

19. A whole mag dump??? Cmon. I train to stop the treat I get it! But I don’t know! Bad situation. Sorry for all!

20. Damn there are a lot of these incidents involving family calling the cops and ending up with a dead family member. It's heartbreaking. Mental illness is certainly a thing nowadays and killing a lot of us.

21. They could have just shot him in the legs in this scenario

22. If you really didn’t want to kill him then why empty the whole mag

23. الله يلعن الخمر يذهب العقل ( الحمدلله الذي هو محرم عندنا في الاسلام )

24. Is it just me or did this man seem a little possessed

25. Dam he wet his pants while the bullets were raining on him!

26. a shot in the leg????? no, 6 bullets to the body… No other Western country does this, none… but that being said, no other Western country doesn't have voter id laws – so what do you expect when cultural entertainment is your main export to the world. These are great to watch, why we all watch them right… to see people get shot for entertainment and then say comments like, oh the Mum. C;mon you don't care for longer than a few seconds – it's entertainment. Only in America.

27. Wow… I'm pro police, but the cop's rapid fire was excessive. I know a taser would have been ineffective with his winter clothing, but they could have deescalated more. He fired like he was at the range showing off how fast he can shoot. Completely unnecessary.

28. If you're on psych meds then take your pills as prescribed. Cops do NOT shoot to incapacitate.

29. Michael could have been another Michael Jordan but he chose to be Michael Myers instead

30. there is a lot wrong with the police cold killer

31. If you asked me too many shots were fired. 2 rounds would of taken him down

32. I don't understand what the rush is; shoot him once or twice and then give him a second to reconsider his bullshit. If that fails, shoot him a few more times. I count at least eight shots in that salvo. I'm not one to bash police for this type of shit, but fuck, he's an old man. If you're that scared of being stabbed, don't go into law enforcement.

33. Why couldn’t one Officer go non-lethal and then the second Officer lethal? 🙁

34. How many of yall think they needed to shoot that much?
