This is the video I am referencing:

Seems like it happened about a month ago in Lancaster, California. A man entered what appears to be a supermarket wielding a machete — after attacking one employee with said machete — and gradually kinda leads the cops on a chase throughout the store, ultimately charging them with his machete near the hair care aisle. They shoot at him, as would be logical when someone with a machete is charging at you, and he later died from his injuries at a local hospital.

When they attempt to make initial contact with this man, outside of the store, they ask him (also logically) what seems to be wrong in his life. He says he’s disgruntled and tired of others taking advantage of him, etc.

Now comes the bigger picture.
