Wow, no context.

The suspect of the hit-and-run was the mans father, who had fled to the house. This hadn't been witnessed by officers, who saw Magdiel both matched the description and was at the location the suspect was said to have fled to.

Secondly, the "Metal Walking Stick" was an iron pipe with a leather handle that he walked around with in case of stray dogs. He also refused to drop the pipe while continuing to approach officers, who had their weapons drawn. Don't care if your deaf, if a cop has a gun pointed at you, ******* stop.

Yeah, exactly. I also heard the guy was mentally deficient, but how are the cops supposed to know that? At that point, they're focused on the guy approaching them with an iron pipe and he isn't stopping, even with their guns drawn. It's a **** situation, but to them, they were in danger. The only criticism I can levy is that they didn't try to use a taser first and then resort to lethal, instead they decided to use both at the same time?

American police is terrible. Should change their name to death squad since they just shoot random people.

Not familiar with the facts on this one but the more accurate generalization would be that American media is terrible, feeding people half truths, biased reports, even outright lies.

Things are so bad that their *********** antics may precipitate the downfall of our country. And, when we go down, we just might bring the rest of the world with us...

**** gets blow out of proportions from time to time, yes. But people still die when dealing with police in US, for no good reason. This is a good example. Best example is that teacher trying to calm a retard and police shooting him. "Why did you shoot at me" "I don't know!". Or people being strangled to death in detain situation. **** don't happen elsewhere in the western countries. We had some dumbass running around in Turku stabbing people. Three minutes from first call, he was in custody alive.

That was a good ending to a bad situation. Similar things happen all the time in the USA as well. You just never hear about them. Those stories do not sell advertising revenue, so they never get the same coverage.

Your assumption that American cops always kill for no good reason is the direct result of political and economic misinformation on a global scale. Ask anybody from England who was recently pinched for telling the truth, albeit ugly truth, on social media sites. Yes, we have bad cops. Yes, we have good cops. You never hear about the good deeds from good cops...it just doesn't fit the agendas.

Every country has an agenda, including Finland and the United States. Unfortunately, American agenda(s) are creating a bifurcated culture from within, and the world will most likely suffer from the results.

Take care and stay safe, my new friend from Finland!

And of course, many times people die when dealing with police for a good reason, even if people lose their minds over em. Still, the situation is probably not very good if people just don't question it if someone says police killed a man for no reason. Because of course it must be true!

Its because internal affairs intentionally lets cops get away with anything because they have a ridiculously powerful union and a "give an inch they take a mile" mentality and don't want to seem soft on criminals so they are mercilessly authoritarian.
