I watched the video. He wasn’t rushing the cop, he was trying to get away, just didn’t realize that the other cop had gotten around him. There’s a noticeable moment when he suddenly recognizes that’s a cop he was about to run past, his body language shows he was surprised.
Cops try a few times to use less lethal means, they step off the train, guy with knife sees the cop, then CHASES the cop with the knife in his hand. Stop lying.

Top of my list of ways to get shot by police? Chase one with a knife in my hand.
Damn that’s crazy. No mention of the guy rushing police with a knife when confronted and told to pay, screaming “shoot me shoot me shoot me”.
alleged knife that magically disappeared
It didn’t magically disappear, some rando picked it up and walked away with it while the cops were dealing with the guy.
There are videos of the whole thing online, you should watch them. Fuck the police but let’s be honest about that particular situation.
Is there anything more magical than the kindness of a stranger?

Shh. You are disrupting the lemmy echochamber! It’s all about the headlines and taglines. No facts
Seems you didn’t follow this story after the initial outrage.
He didn’t rush at the police. He simply had a knife. And that doesn’t justify shooting into a crowd, and with piss poor aim.
I saw the video. Are you lying or just haven’t seen it?

This is a crock of shit. Unless the guy’s blind.
We can see him look at the officer who’s wearing the cam. I’ll even link the timestamp: https://youtu.be/-EaAraFPzEo?t=956
