It is unfortunate unarmed black men are gunned down to have videos to release. I don't call a 3 inch knife a weapon. People carry pocket knives all the time and it is not called a weapon. At least White People carry pocket knives. I suppose it is only Black People that carry weapons 3 inches long.
Sixteen bullets in 13 seconds over a three inch pocket knife.
I suppose there were dangers for police officers after this incident.

The FBI warned the Chicago Police Department (click here) that officers' lives could be in danger with the release of the Laquan McDonald video, according to documents released late Monday night by the city.
In a Nov. 24 email sent just hours before the city made public the video of a white police officer shooting and killing the black 17-year-old, an FBI agent said that a confidential informant — who had provided reliable information in the past — reported plans to ambush officers in retaliation for the teen's death.
"Violent rhetoric is high," the FBI wrote. "Due to the recent media spotlight on officer-involved deaths of minorities, there is a lot of anger in the neighborhood served by the Chicago Police Department."
While no known attacks took place following the video's release, the informant said gang members planned to set up outside the 14th District headquarters on the West Side and the Homan Square building, a police facility that has served as the setting for numerous police misconduct allegations in recent years. The informant said gang members intended to wait for police employees to exit and walk toward their cars — a time when the officers wouldn't be wearing protective gear or bulletproof vests....
