According to BBC āpolice are yet to confirm whether the man was armedā so I think we can safely assume that the man was killed for no apparent reason. Maybe itās time to disarm the police?

America still has a lot of guns, a cop would probably be at a significant disadvantage without one. We need better training for our police force and gun control.

Whether that person was armed or not thereās just no excuse for the actions taken in that video. Literally makes me sick to my stomach.
Yeah, honestly, and I hate to agree with ANYTHING that is said on Fox news, but guns themselves arenāt the real problem. Controlling guns would curb the symptoms of the problems, but the root of it all is our attitudes. Our attitudes towards the mentally Ill, the attitudes of the police in response to any form of āresistanceā, the way our country ignores discrimination and prejudice, even our attitudes of guns themselves.

Societyās views on mental health is an abomination in the US. Insurance companies and employers treat it as if itās the common flu, or they pretend that itās a non-issue. Got some crippling disorder that is so torturous that youāre barely able to function day-to-day? Donāt got insurance? Here are some pills. Thatāll be $200. Thatās the bare minimum. It certainly goes up in other costs. The general public are quite frankly uneducated on how serious mental health can be, and they frequently discriminate on people who are suffering from disorders.
