He had a knife… on a stick.

I’ll need to see the video on this one, officers, but for now, mark me as damned skeptical that this killing was self-defense.

      He said officers tried to calm Mora down before twice using a Taser on him. They then fired beanbag rounds before ultimately killing him, the man said.

      Sounds like they exhausted every other option to me.
