A dash cam video from the officer who shot and killed Native American woodcarver John T. Williams was released Friday, showing Williams ambling slowly across the street in a crosswalk before the officer opens fire.

"Put the knife down"
"Put the knife down"
"6 shots"
SMH
I hope one day they start making anyone associated with law enforcement submit to hundreds of psychological tests before they let them serve. And even before they go on duty they should given a gun with blanks and "confronted" by an undercover pretending to be a crook to trigger their response and reaction. Until then it will continue, cops are power hungry and are seriously untouchable in the judicial system. People need to stand up against all police and fight back until a new system is put into place. Oh, and dude should have dropped the knife, situation avoided. But police still need to learn to control their emotions and stick to the code, even if dude charged him with the knife he could have fired one non lethal shot to drop the suspect and arrest him, six is too much. Son should fired and locked up. -

Officer Birk responds, "Ma'am, he had a knife and wouldn't drop it."
Later, fellow officers talk to Birk out of the camera's view.They ask, "How you doing?" Birk responds, "I'm all right. He had it open, I asked him to drop it multiple times, he was carving up that board."... -
Ridiculous use of force...
-
Birk's badge was later pulled after a Seattle Police Department Review Board and Chief John Diaz reached a preliminary finding that Williams' shooting was not justified.
Standard police procedure is mace or stun gun for an initial knife threat, this pig is ? .
Shoulda played it safe with a black victim at night and a longer pause before gunshots. -

He'll be acquitted by a white jury

Yup, they'll find that it was merely just a case of mistaken weapon identity, thought he was pulling out his tazer but it was actually his gun, oopsie. -

And people wonder why I dont shed a tear when a cop gets blasted...pfft

^^^ u sure he white? he looks black

Damn they hosed Bushido Brown.

It seems like every other day an innocent minority is gunned down by racist cops. Like someone said earlier, a murdered cop gets no sympathy from me. For every cop killed in the line of duty, there are 5-10 innocent minorities wrongfully murdered by trigger-happy police officers. Sad but true. Hence my deep disdain for the P.D.

Smh that ? is sad..
you already know the police commisioner will say some ? about training,, hell get suspended with pay. If this goes to trial he recieve the standard slap on the wrist.. and a beer for his services..

Alot of idiot become cops.. like someone alluded to a psyche test should be standard procedure -

That cop just wanted to ? somebody plain and simply. How the hell do you just roll up on some dude walking across the street, start yelling commands, and then shoot him because he doesn't comply within the 7 second time frame you give him. Then the police wonder why the public doesn't cooperate. SMH

Sounds like the cops are going all out to cover their ? on this one....

A mentally ill, alcohol, homeless guy, who ya'll have a hard on for. Looks like they went out their way to ? with him as much as possible. Could've arrested him and avoided all this if they were so sick of him, or have him committed.
"I give him a ticket every chance I can!"
mmmhmmm -
? was wrong but wtf just put your knife down and THEN argue your point...obviously the dude didn't deserve to be shot but he did nothing to help himself. There was a gun drawn on you...put. down. the. knife.

A response i would expect from you, after all weren't you the one talking ? about the Oscar Grant/Sean Bell case without even knowing the damn facts? -

You obviously missed what I just said...I SAID IT WAS ? UP AND WRONG. Can you not read you simple ? ? Go back to coloring inside the lines ? . -
Ill argue my point all ? day you should not defy a cop with a gun drawn on you.

? with knowledge is more dangerous than than ? with guns
They make the guns easy to get and try to keep ? dumb
Target the gangs and graffiti with the Prop 21
I already know the deal but what the ? do I tell my son?
I want him livin right, livin good, respect the rules
He's five years old and he still thinkin cops is cool
How do I break the news that when he gets some size
He'll be percieved as a threat or see the fear in they eyes
It's in they job description to terminate the threat
So 41 shots to the body is what he can expect
The precedent is set, don't matter if he follow the law
I know I'll give my son pride and make him swallow it all (damn!)
? the pigs! I think the pigs killed Big and 'Pac too
If they didn't they know who did, they got to!
Who they serve and protect, ? not you
Cops shot off of ten G's but they got glocks too
Let you protect yourself, or better yet respect yourself
Straight into the hospital is where you gotta check yourself
They be gettin tips from snitches and rival crews
Doin them favors so they workin for the drug dealers too
Just business enforcers with hate in they holsters
Shoot you in the back, won't face you like a soldier
Kurt Loder asked me what I say to a dead cop's wife
Cops ? my people everyday, that's life
Talib Kweli
o yeah, ? the law
