1. If someone runs at you with a knife in an aggressive manner would you let that person keep coming at you if you had a gun uh no

2. Good I'm glad the police didn't get hurt.

3. Don't blame 911 there not supposed to take life history there supposed to get help for the public safety as soon as possible

4. 100% clean shooting.

5. The US police got to be better. all this money , technology and knowledge just to treat people like animals. Look we just lost Afganistán wtf are you doing government yeah slowly the dollar will be worth nothing

6. Call me crazy, I'm not even a cop. But if a guy comes at me with a knife I'm gonna draw and if he charges I'm gonna drop him before he buries the knife into me. We shouldn't blame those cops for self preservation.

7. Nice thumbnail, ABC

8. Thank god Phil and viv took will smith from West philly

9. "You heard the wife shouting he's mental"
   You also heard the cops say put the knife down

10. Japan…

11. big lips matter

12. police officers had no choice, wallace was 1/10 of a second from slicing up the cop.

    the family is the one to blame, not the cops.

13. Dumbest people in these comments I have ever seen. This news piece is a load of crap as well.

15. So tasers dont exist now huh?

16. Funny they don't mention he was on probation for aggravated assualt with a firearm and robbery (to a woman). They didn't mention he was convinced of punching a police officer in the jaw. They don't mention he beats his mother when he doesn't take his meds. He had a knife and threatened his mother and others on the street. If his own family couldn't calm him down how could two cops? While he's armed with a knife?

17. They stay going straight for the gun… stun gun please man damn

18. office did what he should from what I saw so let's see the whole video

19. run at a cop with a weapon and you get shot am I missing something? mentally ill means he would have killed a cop no problem sooo

20. You bring a knife to a gunfight with the police and you going to learn what every 5 year old knows. This guy was a dumbass.

21. The police did their jobs.

22. It's easier to kill someone than to help them. It was a teaching of warfare an the police department adopted the tactic

23. So if his stabbed a neighbor then its okay?

24. What went wrong is nothing. If he had a mental issue then the knife in his hand was dangerous. The cop did the right thing. Was the cop supposed to get stabbed or somebody else?

25. It was a 'mostly peaceful' attempted knife attack.

26. WHY in clawds name did these cops NOT call someone when informed that he was mental…😕

27. I dont understand why police in America are not taught to shoot someone in the leg if they feel it necessary. This is terribly sad. Why does America have so much violence? My condolences to the family.

28. Interesting mom is protecting her son that has a knife, yet you have a gun 10 feet away and you kill him. This is more than a lack of damn training!

29. This was a fucked up situation , RIP

30. Didnt cop said kill him

31. Why sister call 911. N give out too many info..why not mom n dad call 911 or take him mental hopistal

32. never call the police unless you want someone dead.

33. You need 2 comply or u can die
    u choose your Destiny nobody but yourself
    he got what he had that coming 2 him

    play stupid games win stupid prizes

    so ya'll know what happened

34. Door dash ad in the middle was real twisted

35. Never call the cops for help if you are not white, the truth.

36. I AM SO SICK OF HEARING ABOUT ANOTHER BLACK MAN HAS BEEN MURDERED BY POLICE!!!!! My Bi-racial Son has bi-polar disorder & I am SCARED EVERYDAY about his safety if he has a mental health crisis. Why God, why?!!!!

37. Could’ve shot em in da leg he would’ve still had his life these cops are just scary.

38. Police chief the woman in the video works for the wide establishment and they protect police officers it's nothing she can do and if it was she wouldn't do it anyway

39. Why they did not use the taser?

40. Stop calling them, period
