Cannibal attack - Interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did he think he was Shia LaBeouf and tried to eat up all the bodies?! Next thing you know he'll get down on all fours and break into a sprint!
Seriously though, really unfortunate news. Big disappointment is the comments section spouting bullshit about using tranq guns; asking the officer to attempt to physically grab the assailant to pry him off.

why don't they use tranquilizer guns instead of live ammo?

thats fair enough mate, tnx.
I live in a country were firearms are illegal,, even a stungun will bring charges under our firearms act so my views on these type of stories are, im sure very different to those from other countries.
But it just seems like madness that a cop can react with lethal force to this kind of incident and be hailed a hero.
I admit i dont have all the facts of this story and i dont mean to judge the cop here either, but he's taken a life and thats a big deal.
While I am a big Chuck fan I recognize that tranq guns in real life are likely to take several minutes to take effect. It's not like the Star Trek stun settings where it knocks a person out immediately. Further asking someone to try to physically subdue the growling cannibalistic madman. Well just reading that sentence should give you an idea why that's not a good solution either.

I can honestly see now why this country is in such a state. Having seen some of the comments on here saying just pull him off, or use tranquilizer...just proves that peoples IQ's have dropped to single digits in some cases.
A person is eating another guys face, and you expect him to be tranqualised, and watch him carry on eating it while it takes effects....I suppose you would go and get him a drink as well to help wash it down.

Some people have very weird views. If the officer didn't shot then maybe the victim would be dead. If a life of someone is at risk then lethal action is acceptable. You can't wait till a life has been taken then kill him.
How do you know he's mental as well? People don't nothing theses days.
I think the officer did what needed to be done. He took action there and then none of this playing about.
Look I'm not saying every incident with an aggressive assailant should be solved with the death of said assailant. However he was actively harming, what might be considered, his hostage. The whole point of not shooting at a guy with a hostage at say gunpoint is that there's a chance that you might harm the hostage just gunning for the guy. This guy was actively a meal for the other guy. Just, just, no the cop did the right thing.
Oh yeah and, Bath Salts - Check

So I feel like I haven't posted enough here. Will try to remedy that.
