    Damn that’s crazy. No mention of the guy rushing police with a knife when confronted and told to pay, screaming “shoot me shoot me shoot me”.

        It didn’t magically disappear, some rando picked it up and walked away with it while the cops were dealing with the guy.

        There are videos of the whole thing online, you should watch them. Fuck the police but let’s be honest about that particular situation.

      He didn’t rush at the police. He simply had a knife. And that doesn’t justify shooting into a crowd, and with piss poor aim.

          I watched the video. He wasn’t rushing the cop, he was trying to get away, just didn’t realize that the other cop had gotten around him. There’s a noticeable moment when he suddenly recognizes that’s a cop he was about to run past, his body language shows he was surprised.
