Is there a video? This sounds like a horrible injustice.
Did police ask him to drop the knife?
How is waving a knife not a threat?
Was he waving it nicenicely or in a friendly way?
Again i would like to see a video or get more info before creating an opinion.

because one or another group’s perceived grievances!
Please: more police brutality at dispersing these “happenings”!!!!

You guys are so freaking Racists ,you call them Ethiopians, do you refer to other ethnics with their origin like Russian, or Polish etc, gee what a freaking racist State

Simple two question test.
1. Who was/is Gilad Shalit?
2. What are the names of the three Israelis currently held captive in Gaza?

Israel has a reputation of mistreating groups that are not lillie white like Ashkenazim. I wouldn't be surprised that the same applies here.

It is shameful. How can Israel be taken seriously vis a vis Israeli arabs when it can not get along with minority jews?

But copying the actions of Afro Americans is not the way to success. It is a sad indictment of their 'leaders' that they think it is.

to the Jewish people. Many Jewish communities don't recognize them as Jews.
They show ingratitude for what Israel did for them. Most of them are Ethiopian Christians. It was a big mistake bringing them over here.

Person with knife - 1. Call for Backup. 2. Pepper Spray Jell 3. Taser
4. Bean Bag Shotgun 5. Baton 6. Foot in Groin

I rarely had to pull out my Glock after rationally explaining a suspects
options and pointing to my large can of Mace or Pepper Jell. An officer must be
confident & in excellent physical condition. Body Building & Zumba helps!
