Currently in Seattle, we have an investigation into the death of John T. Williams, a Native-American wood carver who was walking across an intersection with a piece of wood and a folding knife.
An officer in a patrol car saw this man, stopped his car and got out. He ordered the man to drop his knife. When he did not, he shot him 5 times in
the side killing him.
According to the link below, 4 seconds after issuing 3 rapid commands, the officer opened fire. Not only that, but evidence shows that the knife was
folded when it hit the pavement.
Many in Seattle are outraged over this senseless killing. If this shooting is judged to be justifiable, there will be a huge outcry in our city.
