video is pretty inconclusive, the VPD claim when he ran away he ran towards a women and started stabbing her (she is in critical condition) it was at that point to cop opened up on him.

If those are the facts, seems completely justified to me.

Yup. That is what we pay them to do.

They even had a bean bag gun on hand, and that didn't stop this guy - obviously hyped up, whether by drugs or otherwise.

We had a guy come at a policewoman with two knives, and still some numbnuts protested she shouldn't have shot him. There's always a lunatic fringe on both sides on these things: one side that thinks any cop shooting is bad, the other that's ok with any cop shooting.

Right on cue:

$1:

Members of the Somali community have protested the shooting, saying police could used other means to subdue Hirsi.

. . .

According to police, officers first tried to subdue the man by firing bean-bag rounds at him, but then said they shot him after he randomly began stabbing a woman.

She remains in critical condition, while the two other victims were treated for non life-threatening injuries.

Organizers of Friday's vigil said they don't condone the knife violence, but say they need to raise their concerns that police used too much force in the killing.

"All the people are angry with the Vancouver police for their action to shoot that guy six times," he said at the vigil. "They're not supposed to kill someone like that."

Perhaps they'd be satisfied if police let the man keep stabbing the woman till she was dead, then gave him a finger wagging?

Same person came up with the usual "shoot him in the legs" bullshit.

I'm glad we are all on the same page here that this Nimrod deserved to fucking die.

Hope the woman recovers. Good showing VPD!

Glad I'm not the only one who regularly ends up thinking of bizarre scenarios due to faulty journalism grammar.

Another unfortunate headline today was this particular gem...

THe guy is obviously crazy. even bean bags couldn't stop him. He didn't deserve to die. He did deserve to get shot, and he died. No way around it, but he didn't deserve to be executed, if that's what you meant.

I think its two ways of saying the same thing. I don't think he should have been forced to his knees and shot in the back of the head.
