I'm not watching it, anyone want to give a rundown?

Edit: nevermind there's an article..

"The victim came flying around on his bicycle. One officer tackled him off...Two other officers kind of rushed over, and one of the officers yells, "He has a knife. One of the officers then draws a taser and yells, 'Taser, taser, taser.' He tasers him, [and the victim] falls to the ground," Doubek said. "The three continue to struggle for a second or two. Then, one of the officers stands just a couple feet above his head, shooting [the victim] three times to the head."

Oh, ok

An officer basically executed a person 4 on 1. Apparently there was a knife? I didn't see anything to suggest that, which should have drawn officers back.

Instead someone gets it in the head after they said they were going for taser. I don't buy that.

You see them throw a knife to the side when they're handcuffing his body.

I couldn't see anything in the video. It was so tiny

Looks like he may have shot the other officer in the hand too based on the video. One article said that another officer was injured but it was unclear how it happened.

Friendly dumb fuck fire
