He was not afraid of the police. 

The evidence says otherwise 

If you're afraid, you don't do something that's going to make it way more likely that you get shot. 

Fight or flight and a panicked mind does not make rational decisions 

He was clearly suicidal. 

That's not clear at all 

If he didn't think his life mattered, I don't see why anyone else should. Justified killing.

That's a incredibly stupid statement

When was dropping a knife eliminated as an option?

I'll admit that 14 shots is excessive.

When is the cops giving him a reason to believe they simply going to gun him down the moment he dropped it eliminated as an option?

Running at two cops with guns when you only have a knife takes balls. He was afraid of going to jail maybe. Not afraid of the cops. Big difference there.

If you want to say black lives matter, fine, but not when it's suicide and they're putting other people at risk of harm. Then that life doesn't matter. Not one bit. He got his wish. He avoided jail.
