Bunch of armchair quarterbacks online here that use hindsight to simplify the circumstances. Why don't you join the force if you are really that much better?

Brilliant post. Much effort or did you just start typing?
I have several good friends that are cops. Two of which I work out with regularly and we discuss topics like this often. I can tell you this, Police are HUMAN and as such will and do react differently. And none of the guys I know would be cursing and shouting profanities at individuals like this guy did.
You never know if the individual/suspect is suffering from emotional issues dopped up to the point they can't comprehend commands. The screaming and profanity, I and others do not believe helped matters. Just like you want to say the cop has split second decisions to make, the individual may be afraid to move a finger for fear of being shot. Who knows...
We do know however, that the suspect now deceased was unarmed.
