No I don't. Do you? The difference is that I am not suggesting alternate outcomes or judging based on that unknown.
See above.
Based on what? He literally assaulted members of the public, was holding a knife and creeping behind a pole. Lower risk? WTF.
Yes, the Chief of Police talks about that.
That's the nature of the incident. It's not ideal. The alternative is what? Put the guns away? Walk away?
I guess that's the point I am trying to make. And the Chief of Police says this in his news conference. This is a police call. The public phones the police because of an assaultive male with a weapon. They expect the police to go and deal with it. What kind of non-police presence are you suggesting?

Well, that escalated quickly. I’m done and have offered my opinion and you don’t agree. Cool. I’m not alright with a man getting killed in a situation that appears as though it could have been handled differently.
