Hey retard... I never claimed the hatchet was thrown...
I claimed the shooting STOPPED the hatched from being thrown.
Do you see him raising the hatchet when he's shot? He clearly raises it.
IDK if you know this... But you can't throw a hatchet when it's on the ground, And you can when it's raised up like that.
Wow that's great buddy. So stopping a hatched from being throne, is not the same thing from the action of a hatchet being thrown? I'm sorry, that might be to simple a logic for you to understand.
I see a man holding up a hatched showing it to an enraged officer rushing towards him with his gun out, escalating a confrontation, and looking for any excuse to pull his trigger while aiming exclusively for the head.
Hey you know what? You have chosen for 3 days to not deal with this information, despite me repeatably linking to it. So, I will post it here, and see if your reading comprehension kicks in. You retard.

I was almost sick when I watched the video. Is this like common practice in the US?
I found some background to this on YouTube.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office published body camera video of an officer involved shooting Friday afternoon.
First Coast News reported in April an officer shot and killed 43-year-old Kevin Mahan. JSO was initially called to the 7200 block of Morse Avenue, on the city's Westside, for a person described as mentally ill.
The video shows the moments before the officer shot Mahan, the actual shooting and the aftermath.
"Put the hatchet down!" the officer can be heard in the video yelling commands at Mahan.
"Listen man, don't..."
"Put the ax down!" the officer shouted.
The officer can be heard telling Mahan to put the ax down four times.
Mahan can be heard saying "man, listen bro..." and then the officer shoots him in the head. Then-chief TK Waters said that Mahan stood up and raised the ax. The policeman fired one shot and killed Mahan at the scene.
Former JSO Police Detective, Kim Varner, reviewed the video and told First Coast News the officer was quick to shoot Mahan.
"I'll speak just for me. I can't speak for that officer and why he did what he did," Varner said, who has nearly 30 years being with JSO. "If it was me I would've held him at bay until I had some backup arrive."
Varner said he's been involved in officer involved shootings before. Considering the man in the video was described to be mentally ill, Varner said he would've tried talking the Mahan down to put down the ax.
"Why not try and talk to the guy? 'Drop the axe' ain't talking to him," Varner added.
JSO has not identified the officer because he requested to be under Marsy's law. A police official said the officer is back to work and no longer on administrative leave. However, the investigation is ongoing.
This guy looks like he's chopping wood to me. Half of the US population claim they have mental health issues? Should Police go around shooting them? (OK I get it he holds a "weapon" of sorts but still)

Of course not. You are after all, 'better' than that.
