seems to be affected by drugs (could be pain tolerant so tasers would most likely be useless) not listening to commands (seems out of it, so there's no difference in talking normal or yelling) "why not run at him or tackle" (high risk to an officer getting stabbed) https://twitter.com/aleeshatl/status/1250303364723666950

Also stabbed the cars window with the knife so that's another reason for officers using the car as a protective barrier between them & to knock him down (they obviously didn't want to kill him otherwise he'd be riddled with holes rn) so I feel like its necessary force.

& yes the punch was a dick move and unnecessary & the amount of cops holding him down well from this angle they all seem to be holding one point of his body down so he cannot absolutely move in case of any harm to them.. tiring to see everybody be like "why didn't they __" das y
