    TLDR: What is the “5 foot garden tool”? That’s all I want to know!

    So many details and blame thrown about, but suddenly vague on “gardening tool?” It was 5 feet of something. A rake? A scythe? A stick?

    It sort of matters what is in your hands when you approach police; not that that’s ever a good idea. Even with a disability, he could be dangerous.

    I’m astounded by The Guardian. How does an article explain is such detail the events of an altercation and aftermath yet space so terribly on such basic information?

      Too bad he wasn’t a big white man with a knife! Then the cops would have tried to talk him down!
