[e]ventually joining the Repeat Offender Project Team.Boyd, who police said may have been a paranoid schizophrenic, has a long criminal history.
In the past, he allegedly attacked people with knives, box cutters, and
his hands, and in 2010 broke a female officer's nose, according to

Why was the ''victim'' out on the streets?
Secondly, confronting 5 (6?) police plus a police dog, men armed with assault rifles and wearing flack jackets, with a puny knife and screaming threats at them is dumb-as-dirt insane.
That said, 5 men could have clubbed the nut-case to the ground and taken him under arrest to the closest loony bin. They could have shot him with the bean bag gun. Instead they just opened fire.
The police acted with excessive force and malice. Voluntary manslaughter under color of authority -- the policemen had options other than exercising deadly force. |
