A man suspected of killing three people in Virginia was spotted at large, naked, attacking people in the street.
But when police approached, the man instead began pursuing one of the heavily-armored officers, who fled while attempting to spray him with mace. The man dashed off to attack another bystander; he was eventually apprehended with the help of a police dog.
UPDATE: The suspect in a triple homicide, 19-year-old Matthew Bernard, ran toward our reporter, @KyleMWilcoxTV, before attacking a pastor and being maced, tazed by authorities. https://t.co/4OVjvg9kkQ pic.twitter.com/L5SoNfOKgW

I wonder what it was about this "very dangerous" rampaging triple-murder suspect that led a police officer to humiliate himself on camera rather than use his weapon to stop him.
