That may or may not be true. I know it is the comment of the day to say so but I wasn't there and don't have any idea of the circumstances those police faced. Sometimes just charging in works great and sometimes those that charge in get shot to pieces. Is it worth it to have 10 cops get killed to save maybe one child, maybe five. That would be something I would not have to decide because I am known to charge in hoping for the best.
I am not putting you down at all but simply pointing out something most forget, we weren't there. Easy to cast blame from thousands of miles away. If I said that and was completely wrong I would hate to have to look a fellow policeman in the eyes ever again.

But it's never a semi-auto MASS SHOOTING in prison is it? Unless a screw flips-out but you'd expect to get some of that

I think, Mr. Trump's days of charging are over unless he was talking about using a credit card. I think he did as good a job as President as any of his predecessors and better than a lot. His first year in office is way ahead of SloMoJoe's. Having said that, I hope he doesn't attempt a comeback because his presence on a slate is too divisive. Both parties should quit all their antics and think long and hard about a SUITABLE candidate. The Dimocraps should find someone who can think on his feet instead of reading from a teleprompter, although I'm pretty sure the party hierarchy wants someone malleable, and the GOP needs to put forth someone that the whole party can get behind.

While on my day off, from working the Ad Seg/Death Row area of our most maximum security prison at the time, where all inmates in that unit were locked down 23 hours a day and allowed out only for about 50 minutes, one at a time, only. Somehow, the control room officer allowed three inmates out at once. Two of the three beat to death the third inmate while staff watched. Not because they wanted to but because prison rules stated two staff per inmate out before going in. There just was not enough staff. Again, the two inmates kicked and punched the other inmate to death. GUNS, We don't need no stinkin guns. I am surprised no shank was found as occasionally we would find one in a shakedown.
When I worked the Women's unit one inmate, just before my shift took over, stabbed another inmate in the neck over a girlfriend squabble using a ball point pen. This was about 10 minutes before my shift took over. The pen point missed the jugular vein by a fraction of an inch or she would have died. After my shift took over a cheese eater told me where the pen was and who did the stabbing. The inmate was locked up. I will always think those of us in corrections with some law enforcement experience had a leg up on both the other staff members, not all but many as well as the inmates too.

(Reuters) - Police killed Jayland Walker, a Black man in Ohio, by shooting him as he ran from officers.
Thousands of videos, thousands of news items on the radio and TV, but black men still run???????????????????
Maybe he preferred a quick death as opposed to 9 minutes of suffocation?

Either way, it was a self induced death.....

Suicide by cop does come to mind.
He fires one shot at the cops, leaves his firearm in the car along with a ring and runs...then turns towards the cops with a movement resembling aiming a gun.
Now why it took the cops 60-90 shots to subdue the threat is a bit squishy...

Threat ???? No one ever threatened me with his back. That does sound like overkill.

I think that most people, if they are thoughtful and honest, would agree with you. Sadly a great number of them seem to lack the bravery to admit this.

That is one way to look at it. Could be he did not have a gun at all, watching a lot of TV I know that all police carry a throwaway in their ankle holster. What I do not understand is why it 90 shots in less than 5 seconds to put him down, he must have been the Rambo type.
This appears to have started earlier when he was pulled over for having a Tail light and License plate light out, and I almost forgot he was Driving While Black.

Others can't admit they were duped for seven years by the incompetent leader of a failed coup.

I disagree: if you comit a crime and run and the police command you to stop, police have a right to shoot.
Running from having just committed a crime is cowardice.
If you are a thug, stop being stupid: don't run and don't disagree with police commands. It seems so simple that only the stupid wouldn't understand.
“Stupid is as stupid does.”
Moral:
Don’t break the law(s).
Don’t run.
Don’t shoot at officers.
Don’t act stupidly.

Oh C'mon Man, you expect thugs to remember that and then to actually do it in a cultural age where it is appropriate to shoot at police officers. There are Democrats who would rather the police officer take a bullet than a murderer. We are not talking normal moral people nor normal times here. The Democrat WANT division between police officers and blacks/Hispanics to support their agenda.
