Saginaw is just a half hour drive from where I live, and as far as violent crime is concerned, they are having a really bad year. They have had a lot of murders for a city their size. Also, there were recently at least two shootings of police officers in the past few months, so I'm sure it has them all on edge. Not that that excuses any sort of this behavior, but I'm the sure the tension between the police and the residents has been quite high.
I had forgetten about this, and when it first was reported, there was a question of police misconduct. I do not, however, remember it being reported that they fired 46 shots which definitely hints at malicious intent. Why they didn't taser this man instead of shoot him is beyond me, and I hope these officers are held responsible for this. I will not be holding my breath, though.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
