Officer Mark Dial had been charged with murder, voluntary manslaughter and five other counts stemming from the August 14 shooting in Philadelphia. The case was notable in that police initially told reporters Irizarry “lunged at the officers” while outside his vehicle, only to later admit that video disproved that assertion.

Total lies. They shot a man who was conforming to police orders while sitting in the front of his car.

Dismissed because the officers allegedly thought the knife in the guys waistband was a gun.

Cops always "fear for their lives". Fuck them and fuck this rotten system.

Their instructional videos are absurd. Every scenario training exercise ends in the 'criminal' attempting to kill the officer. No wonder they're scared all the time.

Well, not that many of them are actually scared, but it is interesting to see the behind the scenes.

You're right that they're being taught this stuff very deliberately and systematically. See, for instance, perhaps America's most popular cop trainer: "killology" expert and professional dipshit Dave Grossman.
