@Othko, if the guy had serious mental illness, he could have been scared out of his mind seeing things. This gives you a hell of an adrenalin rush, people on that much adrenalin have way more strength than someone just regularly scared of a naked guy running at them. If the guy was on drugs, same deal. I also linked a vid showing a guy getting tasered 4 times and still throwing 2 cops about and explained why tasers would most likely be ineffective in this case.
Thanks penty good point.
@cg Very true although I don't know where the guy was shot, it just says he was shot twice, it's not like there are many places on a human body where blood loss won't be a problem anyway.
The point I was going for which has hopefully been made is that it isn't necessarily a cop killing a guy just because. It could be the case that he shot the guy for armadillos and giggles but unless the guy actually says it and there's enough evidence, the rest is bandwagon jumping.
There's something to be said for making split second decisions also but that's a petty argument.
