Lion Heart 15,041 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Atlanta (CNN)The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is investigating the fatal shooting of a Georgia Tech student by campus police late Saturday after the student was confronted about carrying a knife. According to the GBI, Georgia Tech Police officers responded to a 911 call about a person with a knife and a gun on the downtown Atlanta campus at 11:17 p.m. The GBI said that when officers arrived, they found Scott Schultz, 21, outside a dormitory with a knife. Schultz went by the name Scout Schultz, according to friends and Schultz's Facebook page. A cellphone video taken by a Georgia Tech student from his dorm room across the street shows the confrontation play out in the brightly-lit entrance to a parking garage. At least two officers have their guns drawn as Schultz walks toward them with arms down. A knife is not visible in the cellphone video seen by CNN. Footage shot by CNN affiliate WSB after the shooting, however, shows a metal, flip-open utility tool that would likely include a small blade, lying on the ground. "Come on, man, drop the knife," one officer says. "Come on, let's drop it," another officer says. Schultz walks toward them slowly and shouts, "Shoot me!" "No, drop the knife," the first officer says. The officers repeatedly tell Schultz to drop the knife and one says, "Nobody wants to hurt you." Another says, "What's going on, man?" More officers' voices are heard, telling Schultz not to move and to drop the knife. Schultz pauses briefly, then takes three steps forward before being shot once and falling to the ground. Schultz died at a hospital. Georgia Tech said Schultz was a fourth-year computer engineering major from the Atlanta suburb of Lilburn. Schultz also had a minor in biomedical engineering and planned to work on medical devices, according to a profile on the website of the Georgia Tech Pride Alliance, where Schultz was president. The profile said Schultz identified as nonbinary and intersex and preferred the pronouns they and them. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/17/us/georgia-tech-student-killed/index.html ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALITY 80,162 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 What does their gender identity have to do with anything, though? Unless their identity was a direct cause of what happened, there's not really any reason to mention it. Also, maybe I'm ignorant or something, but why the Facebook post about them? Sure, they were a member of the community, but they had a knife and they posed a serious threat. It's not like the cops wanted to shot them, but they advanced.

That's true on many cases, but for the safety of the police on this particular case I wouldn't recommend batons or pepper spray. The distance to use a baton or pepper spray is too close to engage someone with a knife, I think. I'm not too sure about the distance of, say, a taser gun, though.
