Don't even have to read the article and yet it's obvious to you?

Dude, the cop shot the guy, who was about 10 feet away from him, 16 times in about 14 seconds. The first shot dropped him so the next 15 were while the guy was on the ground. 9 of those hit him in the back!!!!

And his only "weapon" was a knife with a 3" blade. He was not threatening or approaching the cops with it when he was shot. The dash-cam video is out there but it's ridiculously disturbing to watch.
