Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Tue, 09/03/2024 - 14:56

Officer’s use of deadly force against suicidal man was reasonable, even though man had already harmed himself when officers arrived, officers did not attempt to reposition themselves when he approached them, man was not suspected of having committed crime, but he was holding knife, was non-communicative, and failed to respond or comply with officer’s command to “drop the knife,” but instead quickly approached officers, holding knife out towards them.
