    I counted five seconds between officers realizing a person had knives and that person dying. Multiple officers shouted over each other as they ran, no one giving clear instructions. The video doesn’t show the man “charging” anywhere until the herd of cops charges at him. It is legal to open carry knives in Ohio.

      Which are all good points of discussion, but still paint a very different picture of what happened than your initial comment which made no mention of the knives or surveillance footage, instead focusing solely on supposed witnesses talking to reporters. It suggests that you’re trying to drive a specific narrative rather than find the truth.

        You can see for yourself what happened, from two angles. Two witnesses saw what happened. A bunch of cops got scared and killed someone. Of course they are going to craft a narrative that makes them heroes. Their BS doesn’t deserve any air time. Are eye witnesses less reliable than cops who are reliably liars, even when their asses aren’t on the line?
