What else is there to know? This man brutally attacked a toddler.. a child.. If it were a case of the baby screaming and crying then again no EXCUSE is going to be good enough.. not for me.. There is NO excuse for child abuse... NONE.. Do you understand that?
Here's a question... Do you have children of your own? because before I had my son these stories didn't have the impact on me that they do now.. I wonder who's child this was.. Who is sitting in their house crying knowing that they will never see their baby again.. Put yourself in their shoes.. I mean.. Not a DAY goes by that I don't worry that something bad is going to happen to my son.. not a day.. And it's something I will worry about until the day I die..

there was a 60 year old that repeatedly tried to pull him away from the child but the assailant kept knocking the old guy to the ground and the officer repeatedly tried voice commands before he shot him...but the assailant kept kicking and punching the infant.

There was more than just the 60 year old.. And they just stood there. These people should have over powered this nut job..

Well, I want to know why because I'm looking at this situation in a scientific sense. Not in an emotionally charged fashion that so many of you are. I'm not trying to give him an excuse but I want to know why. It is obvious that he wanted to kill this child. If he was just raging and wanted to hurt someone he would have turned on the people that were trying to help the kid and start beating them. Instead he pushed them away and continued to beat on this child. Why?
And yes, I do have a child of my own.

One of the few cops with a sense of morality, although killing the man is not justified still, but then agian it is, kinda on the fence on whether the cop did right, I mean I'd probably do the same if I believed in taking violent action, but I'm a peacful person not prone to such things. I don't think the cop deserves any bad treatment.

My question is with the witnesses that saw and allegedly tried to stop this man why none of them thought to crack this guys melon with a tire tool or a big stick. Surely if they tried to stop this man they could have.

This guy sounds like he might have lost his mind. I also have trained extensively in martial arts, ful contact focusing on self defence, no flowery movements. I have also worked in a mental health facility in my life and i can say that even with my knowledge, when one of te guys went, it took 5 of us to hold them down and even then we struggled. Of course we wern't meant to do harm to them so it made it more difficult.

You're right, This officer not only the world a favour but did the tax payers one too.
It costs more than $1200 a day to keep an inmate in prison, And there's a good chance this maniac would have plead insanity or some other crap to try to get out of facing up to his awful crime.

I bet a tire iron to the head could have helped though? Just a little?
Robinson jumped from his vehicle and confronted the man, who lunged at him. Robinson said the man wasn't screaming and wasn't loud, but was forceful, saying "demons" were in the boy.

My son has radar for the little guy and the abused, he would have pummeled that guy, probably killed him with his bare hands.
