For context, police weren't serving a warrant in this case. There also was no police standoff and no SWAT involvement. Apples =/= oranges, imo.

People are saying that cops are out of control. But could it be that some of the public is out of control as well-which helps trigger these kinds of reactions?
I think there needs to be some context, for what often happens when officers go serve warrants at homes:

None of this is to say that this victim did anything wrong. I am just saying that the situations are automatically tense and explosive and when someone approaches cops while holding a potential weapon, things can go sideways fast. JMO
