He was not violent or threatening to the cops.
It should have been apparent to them that he could not speak English. There was no attempt made to find someone who could speak to him.
They spent almost no time attempting to deal with this guy in a less agressive manner.
He was in a SECURE area of the airport, the chances of him being armed were virtually nil.
This is a tragedy brought on by poor decision making, using a dangerous weapon to subdue a man, and bad luck.
Perhaps the police followed procedure, time will tell, but if so then the procedures are wrong, and so are the tools they used.
Our cops are not exposed to the same guns and violence that some other places see, and we don't expect or accept this behaviour.
