The dude was trying to get the cops to shoot him. I’m glad they didn’t; it doesn’t always work out this way. Hopefully this dude gets some help.

"Green allegedly refused to drop the knife. Green told officers to shoot him and threw the knife at them. He missed."

for all the horror stories of hearing about cops mag dumping on people for less yeah mad respect for these officers treating the situation so tactfully, with the disney ending you really want to see happen. hope the guy gets better.

The article doesn't say but I'm wondering if this was the Price Cutter on Commercial.

Is this talking about the same event?

EDIT:

I'm sure it is the same event, both happened march 5th and what other grocery store with a deli counter is on commercial?

What do you think his sentence should be? (Innocent until proven guilty)

Well they got him for a lot of stuff other than pointing a finger gun

Second-degree burglary.

Resisting arrest.

Finger criminal action.

In other news cops make up shit to justify their bullshit. Dude is clearly having a mental crisis amd cops needed an excuse to go in guns blazing. Finger gun a threat or I would have got kicked out my office along time ago

While it's possible the cops could've just lied about it, they didn't exactly go in guns blazing this time.

Seems like a decent possible outcome, in that the trespassing man was detained safely and no one was hurt.
