It's incredibly easy to sit in a comfy chair, watch a video, and critique what some one did or didn't do.
I don't think the guy needed to die, but I would not hold that officer responsible for excessive force, he was facing a weapon, and defended himself.
If the dude hadn't advanced, if he had just put the knife down, maybe he'd still be here today.
I think I remember seeing this on the news, I think an investigation led to a determination that it was "suicide by cop".
