God I wish people would stop trying to astroturf some anti-police reaction to this in this subreddit. Dude had a weapon, didn't respond to orders to drop it, and charged at people. Wtf did you want the cops to do??? This is exactly the sort of thing Copa should be getting called in for: someone with a deadly weapon is actively threatening people. If he'd holed himself up somewhere and no one was in immediate danger then great call for some mental help professionals.
