Help me out guys, what am I missing? I admit I could be missing somethkg
You realize that police dont just shoot once, reload, and shoot again. This lunatic was charging at the cop, and the cop discharged his weapon 6 times (probably all at once). This is what happened to this man when he charged at the police. And how would the cop know that he was unarmed? Cops dont wait for the suspects to show their weapons. If a cop makes a command, and the perp does not adhere to the command - then the cops will shoot if charged at.

Standard protocol.

Some have called it suicide by cop.
