Why the police shoot the non compliant

This is hard to watch. They have a lot more patience with this knucklehead than most people would have. I wonder if recent events prevented them with using batons or other tactics.

Tulsa, Oklahoma — The body camera footage from the murder of Sergeant Craig Johnson and the attempted murder of Officer Aurash Zarkeshan has been released by Tulsa Police Department. On June 29th, 2020 at 3:06 am Officer Zarkeshan stopped David Ware after he failed to yield when pulling onto the roadway, made an illegal left turn, and operated a vehicle with expired tags. At 3:23 am, 11 minutes later, suspect Ware fired multiple rounds at the Officers. Sergeant Craig Johnson died as result of injuries from the shooting. Officer Zarkeshan was critically wounded and continues to recover. The gunman, Ware, is charged with murder in the shooting death of Sgt. Craig Johnson and shooting with intent to kill Officer Aurash Zarkeshan with the Tulsa Police Department. The accused getaway driver, Matthew Hall, waived his preliminary hearing and is going to trial. Hall is charged with accessory to murder and accessory to a felony. The district court arraignments for Ware and Hall are scheduled for Oct. 5.

We care way more about shitbags and criminals in this country than we do about cops. It's disgusting and hopefully The Donald will lay the smack down in his second term.

My nephew is a cop and I see his vids of arrests / investigations / dealing with the pubic weekly and there is absolutely no way I could put up with 1/10th of what he puts up with.

Live PD really gave America a perspective of what the police deal with day in day out. I hope they bring it back.
