WATCH: Police gun down Michigan man with 46 shots in 5 seconds
Shocking new footage has surfaced that shows six police officers in Saginaw, Mich., shooting a disturbed man 46 times in a period of five seconds on July 1. An investigation is underway.

Why haven't those cheapskate Feds issued these poor, outgunned officers some H&K MP5s and a Lenco BearCat with a dual Ma Deuce rotating mount?

If it's true that "assault weapons" are "weapons of war" and don't belong on the streets of America, why do the police need them? Who are the police at war with?

Imagine how many missiles they will launch when they get a few wings of drones..

pretty much a firing squad. I wonder why they had none of those fancy tazers?

Took a few steps AWAY from the cops and then they open fire.

The cops should have just let the guy go about his business and left him alone.

If the cops tried to take the knife away, they surely would have been stabbed and/or cut. Cities no longer have the money to pay for workman's comp and the hospital bills for gun-ho cops who think they are Chunk Norris.

The best course of action was to let the store clerk who called 911 and the knife wielding victim settle their differences without government interdiction.

This has nothing to do with that. This is about six mentally disturbed people killing another.

Here's a shot list of more human ways to disarm a crazy guy who's not aggressive:
1. Hit him with a long stick.
2. Tase him.
3. Tranq him.
4. Shoot him with a bean bag or rubber bullets.
5. Hit him with with a police car.
6. Shoot him in the leg with a single shot.
7. Get one of those dog control poles and pen him down.
8. Toss a net on him.
9. Use pepper spray.
10. Shoot him once, not 30 times.

Part of being a cop means taking chances in order to protect the public. These cops act like they're judge dread.

Previous work by jack booted thugs dictate that 46 shots should yield about 0.4 actual hits against the target. Sounds like the police might have gotten lucky on this one.

I guess we know why the Feds recently put those 3 orders in totalling over a BILLION rounds.....LOL

It's not gonna be one round per citizen, it will be 40 rounds shot into each citizen.

Makes perfect sense now....

Last year they did a similar thing in Portland OR. The justification for the "firing squad" in the guys front yard was that he was too far away to tase. Similar deal he was walking away from cops.

Well, ya know, walking away is disrespecting their authority.

Pepper spray is only for those who are sitting passively.
