I don't understand why Jason Van Dyke was put in prison in the first place for shooting to death Laquan McDonald who was threatening him and his collegues with a knife.

Like on the released video the Laguan McDonald is running in the middle of the (seemingly) busy street with a knife and refusing to comply with a police officer's orders who is aiming a gun at him, then he gets shot when he turns towards the officer..

I would agree that using man catcher, pepper spray or worst case scanario tazer would be more appropriate, but none is training the US police to use either of these non-lethal (excluding tazer that can be very lethal) solutions -> You can't blame the police officer for doing what they are trained to do.

.. the shooting when he's laying on the ground was also exessive.
