Why is it always a race issue?

Beyond that, Nathaniel Jones was still trying to grab the nightstick and not ceasing resisting arrest while there were 2 officers (take a close look at the video, he doesn't ever put his hands behind his back and his hands aren't coming up to protect himself they are coming up to try to grab the nightstick)

What happened after the camera stopped rolling and 5 officers were present we don't see

Bottom line - if Nathaniel Jones doesn't have any more regard for his life than evidenced by his actions (much less the lives of police officers) why should anyone have any regard for Nathaniel Jones life

If you were the police officer's in the video what would you have done?

I would have shot, and it's not a race issue -

Faced with a 400LBS purple and pink polka dotted man on drugs resisting arrest and trying to cause bodily harm (see early in the video, Jones wipes out the police officer with a clothesline) it's a matter of survival
