On Thursday, September 24, Hyattsville police were called out to an emergency situation with an African-American man who had previous aggressive behavior. He had returned to the location and was threatening others with a pair of pocket knives.
Twenty-eight minutes elapsed on scene as officers used nonlethal methods to disarm the man: Three Tasers were deployed, Pepper spray, a bean-bag shottie, and finally a flash-bang grenade. Ignoring all attempts, the man eventually charged the supervisor on scene and was quoted saying "I embrace death" before being gunned down by the officers.
With these facts in mind, I believe that the officers on scene had exhausted their options and reasonably eliminated this threat to the public. It is regrettable that the man had to die, but these situations occur.
What are your thoughts? I am unfamiliar with Maryland law, or the department's enforcement regulations, so if anyone has experience in those areas I appreciate your comments.

EDIT: And there it is. Could it be edited into the OP? Links tend to get lost in the general thread noise if they aren't in the OP.

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

They could have just not shot things at him in the first place and waited him out. 28 minutes isn't a long time, maybe if they'd just chilled out a bit then he would have calmed down too. It seems like there was a bunch of them so it's not like he was going anywhere.
they shot him because he charged at an officer. waiting him out was not an option.

Just chill a bit in the first place and maybe he wouldn't have charged anyone.
the dude had just beaten a coffee shop worker with a metal pole.
youd have been pissed that police were messing with you after beating an innocent person?

That's just not true. The incident with the pole was 3 days before he got shot.
