So... Police kill resident... because. Terrible police work (assumed since the citizen died) and terrible reporting. We don't really know what happened but somebody died at the hands of the police.

Well, we know from the article that the police were called to that address, and didn’t go there just because they felt like it.

I agree that the reporting is lackluster, but there probably isn't anything else to report until the incident is further investigated.

But how can you assume that the police work is "terrible" without good reporting? If you automatically assume that every time a suspect or perpetrator dies, it's the police's fault, that shows a lot of bias on your part.

Well, there's also the fact that American cops killed the highest number of people on record for the USA in 2021.

Makes sense. We gained 20 + million people since 2010… then had a pandemic which fueled incredible division, inequality, domestic violence, and a rush on gun sales.

How many cops were killed by citizens in 2021 vs previous years?

The fact that more people were killed by police in 2021 needs additional analysis to draw any take-aways about police-work trends, especially ones that would lead a reporter to draw conclusions in this specific case.

Terrible police work but you don't even know what happened. Seems about right for this sub 🤔

Do I even need to say anything myself to point out how idiotic this comment is?

He had a knife inside his house, because that's so uncommon, and that prompted police to perform a home invasion. Upon entering, they were met with force, and decided to overwhelm the man and kill him... Is what I gathered from this terribly-written article.

You want to know who else was killed at the hands of the police? John Wilkes Booth. Say His Name!
