Can anyone give context to what is happening apart from the ridiculous use of force and manpower?

    tldr: he had hit a parking lot attendant twice in the head with the stick earlier. The police tried using less lethal methods but failed to accomplish anything with that and so sent the dog. The headline says he had a knife but it's not mentioned anywhere in the body of the story.

    Re: knifeman in the title.

    Probably just really lazy editing and not understanding the actual story. It says he struck the parking attendant with a broken cane causing lacerations.

    I mean.... A broken piece of wood can be sharp enough to pierce/slash the skin. Lacerations usually means knife but either AI or the editor skimmed the article and modified the headline to be more outstanding and made it factually incorrect.

    It also says he was later tracked down and found wielding the 6 foot stick, so the video only shows said stick and would not include the cane from earlier.

    No, but I just wanna correct some phrasing for you;

    Those aren't men, those are fuckboy bitches. There's only one man in this video, and he gets jumped by a bunch of fuckboy bitches and their dog.

    In all likelihood, it is probable he is just a dude having a really fucked up day and somebody decided that the cops needed to be called. Whatever the reason they were called, the response was wildly out of proportion almost certainly and exclusively because of the color of his skin.
