I mean how can you shoot the kid 5 times he's so far away from anyone he could hurt!! And who was he going the hurt, the COPS? So you killed him cos you're afraid, but of what??
That’s why is not good to ask cops for help!!!!!
I will never call the police again for anything.
Why didn't they call EMS??!!
Who can you call?
I don't think Colorado has QI, do they?
"We love you too. We just want you to be safe." Yeah right. 🙄
How did this make sense even to anybody there??!!
No gun, in car by himself and cops were going right up to the vehicle window. Scared? Nope!
That not going to help give cops training when you know they will do the same thing again and again
The scariest words in the english language "were from the government and were here to help"
No reason at ALL to shoot this kid. I don’t understand though: did he have psychological issues or was he in shock from the accident?
Did I miss the part about the cop who shot him? Does he get qualified immunity?
He called for help and then they kill him, cops are so f__d up!
Why doesn't the State Legislators step up and rein in these irresponsible police procedures? Why does it take the death of someone and the uphill battle in court to effect change to overcome the LEGISLATOR's bad laws?
Training officers on "crisis intervention" is SIMPLY not enough! ALL LE departments should have "on call" mental health RN's to respond to situations like this. COPS and their 6 months of training just don't have the underlying intelligence to comprehend situations like this no matter how much training they receive. NO ONE said that he was seeing skin walkers? I didn't hear dispatch say this. This should have been communicated and EMS should have been dispatched at the same time. Also, that is likely why he didn't want to get out… if they knew that they could have reassured him. That poor boy. Police reform NOW
Did any of these cops go to jail or at the very least lose their jobs?
There isn't a situation police/LEOs CAN'T make worse.
If you are afraid of blood, you cannot be surgeon, if you are afraid of people, or cannot deal with your ego or anger, you cannot be police.
So sad to watch. The cops had no reason to arrest him or force him out of his car- he was in an accident.
He's dead. He can't enjoy it.
The instant the cops don't have absolute power over a situation, you are subject to be killed at their whim.
My parents always taught me, "NEVER call the police for personal matters, or involve them in your life! They ONLY make the matters worse!" IF people understood this in most cases their lives would be better. Call the police on serious situations that you cannot walk away from, NOT for mental health issues, medical emergencies, or family spats!
You call the police, someone may die EVEN YOU!
Such a sad and tragic story. I’m glad that the parents negotiated training and the other measures into the agreement, it proves that their heart was in the suit for their son and other potential victims and not the 19 million dollars; which I would bet they would PAY that and more just to have their son back. My heart aches for them.
Now they will train?a little too late don't you think officers!!!!
He had to shoot him five times? One wasn't enough excessive force? What will happen to the shooter cop? A medal?
Crimanal gángster thugs out to destroy lives
They murdered this guy. If you believe someone will kill you don’t get closer to them.
If the officer who shot this kid wrote an apology note . Noting this kid’s death was avoidable , including the clear video evidence showing it was a bad shoot . Why is this cop not in prison ? What was the expedient circumstances to get this kid out ? Why not step back and if he exited and felt threatened tased him ? There’s so many options here that someone with no training but common sense would have handled this better !we’re talking a knife. Not a gun ! There is no reasonable doubt in my mind this cop should be in prison. Is he still a cop and on the street ?
I'm not disagreeing this was handled poorly and the level of incompetence. But you have a mentally ill person driving a potentially deadly weapon. This country needs to do a better job handling the mentally ill. This is why we have school shooting and people driving into crowd's of people. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
The cop who shot the poor kid should be charged with murder.
I remember reading once a legal dictionary that cited case law for each definition. Under the definition of the word imminent was a case of a woman who had shot another woman who had a knife thirty feet away and on the opposite side of a campfire. The shooter was guilty because the distance from the knife wielder didn't place her in imminent danger.
The odd things that stick in memory…
If my employees cost me millions on a regular basis I may want to keep a tighter leash on them and reevaluate my training of them.
This is why you never call cops, they only know to escalate a situation.
Is anyone else himself?
Police only bring violence to any situation.
I don't understand how the officer that shot.
Did not they convicted of Murder
What part of helping this guy get his car unstuck needed to include him getting out of his car?
This makes me so mad . Most cops are stupid. He said I’ll throw them out the window and the cop said no .. break a window and use gas or a taser.. cops want to kill people . There has to be better training
HOW ??? CAN A KID INSIDE A CAR CIRCLED BY COPS DO ANYTHING ? PAID FOR BY ALL OF THE TAX CATTLE! TAKE THE MONEY AND BUILD A CASTLE WITH A MOAT AND START YOUR OWN COUNTRY ! SORRY WE KILLED YOUR SON! HERE IS A LETTER! NO CHARGES!?? BACK OFF AND FIGURE IT OUT ! BREAK THE BACK WINDOW IF YOU HAD TO AND DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD! HE CAN CRAWL OUT! BUT THIS IS POWER! " WE ARE HERE TO HELP ''!
The cops definitely violated Graham vs. Conner. The severity of the crime did not reach the standard for needing to use deadly force. They had plenty of distance away from arms length, even with a knife. They could have tazed him after the glass was broken on the pax side. Could have 2 officers for that. The idiot on the hood was already covering if he reached for a firearm. Just like a door breach. One breaks window. The other deploy tazer. But trigger happy cop does mag dump on individual.
Surprised he didn't do one extra kill shot to make sure. Get that extra pop in.
Sure, he had a knife. But he was contained in a car. He can't hurt them from inside a car. Way too many cops think, "See any weapon = shoot!"
