Obviously a multi tool can kill somebody. So can a fork or a lead pencil.
The point is whether a cop with a vest and years of training is justified in killing some long haired kid with depression issues who is waiving a multi tool around. One of the points in police training is to handle and diffuse situations hopefully without somebody getting killed.
I am as big of a supporter of law enforcement as you'll find but some of the circumstances surrounding recent shootings are troubling.

Are you doubting that someone with a death wish escalated things to the level that he was shot?
Or just not happy with the circumstances that someone with a pocket knife got shot?

The kid got what he/she/it asked for! It's not hard to understand. It reported itself, with a gun and knife and didn't back down when the cop told it too.

It does raise the question of why the officer went to the gun first. They do have batons, tasers, and mace as options, too.
The shooting probably didn't have to happen, but then again, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
