I remember the cops shooting at a guy for running away from him over an open container ticket. He only shot one time and missed, but he was shooting straight at a school house. It could have been bad
Most places, he would have been shot immediately when he even raised his knife. Strange to me that the officer didn't even try to engage verbally with the man in any way to deescalate the situation.
The victim seems to have some kind of mental health problem.
Follow Nevada's example
Abolish qualified immunity
Such great officers killing a guy that brought a knife to a gunfight smh! Karma will get them!
We're going to need a police force to protect us from the police force I saw that old man do nothing wrong except be crazy and tired of the police I think every one of these cops should be fired and the shooters put in prison for murder
And then the most disgusting part is handcuffing the dead man how stupid is that every single cup on this scene needs to be fired they're stupid and they're cowards and we don't need police officers like that on the streets
This poor man is just tired of being jerked around by the police you can tell he's a nut job and needs to be protected from the police
I didn't see the knife until after they killed him….
Seems legit. Less than lethal didn’t work. He charged an officer. I have no pity for stupid dangerous people.
9:95 dash cam video looks amazing
Wrong on so many points. Officer lowers the weapon to avoid friendly fire, raises it back up again. Also, this suspect committed an attempted murder of an officer, what will he do to someone else if he gets away?
Why, after shooting him 5/6 times do they still feel the need to put hand cuffs on the guy? He's clearly not going to hurt anyone at this point
I heard the limping cop say he pulled a muscle
I'm sure someone else has said this, but the bwc goes back 30 seconds from the time it's activated, but for some reason there's no audio for that 30 seconds
He had no reason to continue shooting
He lowered his weapon because he would have been shooting towards the police car and the other policeman is Earth policeman not because the man posed no threat.
If I was part of the jury I would convict the 2nd cop from the video evidence shown. End of story.
First shooter stopped firing because he apparently twisted his ankle or something. Also, he was at a bad angle and could have hit pepper-spray cop if he kept firing from that position. However. Once a person charges at someone (cop or not) with a deadly weapon their life should be forfeit. The fact that he tried to "flee" once he started getting shot is irrelevant. You say he was fleeing, I say he was looking for an easier target. This one shouldn't be up for debate IMHO. Imagine if he found an innocent bystander at the end of that parking lot and ended up stabbing them to death in order to try and steal their car to get away. Would that innocent person's life be the cop's fault because they stopped firing once the crazed knife-wielding attacker turned his back on them? Some cops make a lot of bad calls, and use force too often, but this isn't one of those cases IMHO. That guy wasn't headed to church after surviving the first 3 shots, he was going to find someone that wouldn't put up a fight.
Why do cops,after they shoot someone, and handcuff them, just stand around looking and not try to aid the person?
Sounds and looks like Tyrone biggums
Cop not guilty of anything, it all happened in an instant, not always possible for a person to process, mentally, the change from a person who was charging, to one who now is running, in a split second.
Thanks
A questionable shoot for sure, but there’s not enough there to get a conviction. The victim already demonstrated he was willing to charge an armed officer with a knife, upon fleeing, he could’ve encountered an unarmed civilian, and having already demonstrated a willingness to attack, officer could be argued to have been justified shooting to protect the public. I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s the way I think it will play out.
