Unfolded extremely fast, in a confined space. Cops went home alive, and could have easily been stabbed. Job well done. Family of course filed a federal civil rights suit. According to the family, "Harrison did not pose a threat, in part because the screwdriver he held was a small one used for computers." Which brings up the age-old question, does size really matter?

Unfortunately they had no place to retreat to. They were trapped against the car. I know we are not required to retreat but was a dangerous spot for them. Even when shot a person can in their last movements kill you.

First, if he was white it wouldnt even be news and noone would of heard of it, second, regardless of race ..Im not a mind reader so if you have a weapon ( anything that could hurt me) and you come at me and dont follow commands, you will be stopped without me getting hurt by any means I see fit in the micro second I have to figure out whats going on...If you listen to defense experts, its harder to defend your self from edged or sharp pointy objects than a gun in close quarter confrontations..the end..............

I was surprised by the suddenness of the encounter. My first thought was 'holy crap'. The camera moved off the subject just as he started to advance on the Cops. I had to watch the initial contact a few times to see this advance.
The race hustlers are able to make trouble with a video like this. It was disturbing to hear the mother, who just called for assistance, crying and screaming after witnessing the death of her son. But the camera doesn't show the whole story.
We have Mobile Crisis Teams of doctors. Maybe we should have the medical community deal with these cases entirely, then Rev Al will have to march on hospitals.

Thats a good idea and after a few liberal doctors get stabbed or shot..the public will get the idea these people are dangerous....and need to be dealt with as such...not cuddled and soft spoken too....
