It's interesting how the caller acted at first like it was just "some guy" at his door and not his son-in-law. I think there is more to this story than we are hearing.
Always is
@@GeorgiaNFA ALWAYS INDEED !
The caller may consider not calling the police next time now that he has learned that calling them only made the situation worse.
He was ready to shoot him
@@alanh2116 The point is the caller may have done that on purpose intentionally
I've seen probably hundreds of police shootings between this channel and police activity that were justifiable, and I can say in all honesty that this was an unjustified shooting. Not once did the guy brandish the object he was holding. Non compliance is not a justifiable reason to use deadly force. No attempt was made to de-escalate the situation. This cop needs to be charged.
dude, seriously. He was about to walk back into a house where he had previously threatened to kill people and he was armed with a deadly weapon. You don't let that happen... ever.
@@RobertPilla he could have easily been tackled by the 6 cops there... i mean, he was moving sloppy and slow, he was not a threat. police are far too fast to shoot
@@RobertPilla thats speculation at best. We don't shoot people on speculation. There was no indication of hostility, no provocation, no erratic behavior, nothing. A handful of steps to the right and he had bullet holes. That's not how police are supposed to handle things. IF he had made it into the home you'd have ground to stand on but he didn't and you don't.
He also was unfazed by tazers and ripped them out. Im guessing he was more than drunk.
@@RobertPilla
Save your breath bro. These people (mostly kids i'm sure) are obviously off their rockers
call the police and tell them you are in fear of your life from a family member and then see how it ends up when your family member has a weapon and refuses to stop; what do people expect?
That moment you realize it's a Law and Crime video and not Police Activity where the entire scene is blurred out.
As a 20 yr veteran cop who was also a SWAT Operator and Defensive Tactics Instructor, all I can say is this was a very bad shoot. The guy was obviously drunk and could have been taken down easily, even with the tow hitch in his hand. He probably wouldnt have even noticed if one of the officers came up behind him. Not to mention they have pepper spray and batons which could have been utilized. I dont know if it is fear, lack of training, these days or even just looking for justification to shoot someone. But these kinds of incidents is what fosters a lack of trust of law enforcement and even hatred.
One of the biggest problems that happened in CA in the 90's was how police departments were so terrified of lawsuits that they started firing officers over the tiniest policy violations. They went overboard with the internal investigations following Rodney King in order to show the public that they weren't covering for their own. The problem was that when they did that it backfired. Basically when you immediately fire the officer for any violation, however slight, you are basically admitting that your employee did something wrong. This bites you in the a** when it goes to civil court in a lawsuit. So they learned the hard way (financially) that it was not the way to proceed. So what you have now is that no matter how egregious an officer involved shooting is (even when caught on video), they department will announce that they back the officer's actions and find that he did nothing wrong.
Hit the nail on the head. One guy with pc of steel, three guys w/all kinds of stuff. I HATE seeing this crap!
Very well said.
As a former LEO myself, I echo your comments Sir. It’s a sad state of affairs
killed a father, brother, step dad, uncle, a person who probably could or was a leader of someone who looked up to them. All over a bad day and too much alcohol. How wonderful it is for cops to show up and shoot like its a shooting range. Don't be surprised when the same course of action is taken out on you guys and you end up in body bags.
I agree with bad shoot. But civil suit? LOL these cops rely on qualified immunity. And to be honest, why wouldn't they? You can shoot pesky citizens you're protecting and serving the f*ck out of all day long and not be held accountable for it.
It's a good gig if you can get it.
21 ft rule with a blunt instrument that cannot possibly cut arteries? Yeah, seems legit.
if that was you or me who shot that drunk guy, we would be sitting in jail for murder
Legal murder with a badge, yes.
What should they have done leave? And if he strikes and kills or injure someone, the police still get blamed, the dude brought that on himself
I really hope that this cop will face murder charges
Bingo
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 it's really too bad that we live in a world where cops only have two options, kill or leave.
California really should rewrite their laws and allow police more time to wait on a drunk who isn't actively attacking them instead of saying all calls must be resolved in under 3 minutes.
The long pause by the 911 dispatcher after the caller said: "no shirt" indicated that the she knew this was going to end very badly.
Total überinterpretiert
“Sir, sir If he had to watch a movie 10 times what movie would that be”
Is it me, or is 911 protocol sometimes utterly infuriating and ridiculously time consuming?
I just skip to the action. You know it's bad when they blur out dude before they even shoot him.
what do u mean ?
They would already be on the way even with the 911 operator on the phone with the caller. They would be updating police as they drive
It's all a part of the gathering of information. Police are dispatched immediately but 911 begins the process of gathering as much info as possible for them so that they are more informed when they arrive on scene.
Right like why would they want the full story and description or if has weapons..the people calling 911 are usually useless
Little quick on the trigger there for someone carrying a tow hitch. I've seen cops wait longer to shoot someone whom they suspected of carrying a gun. Crappy situation all around.
what do you think would happen if that trailer hitch connects with a guys head?
Key word "suspected"
im going to become a cop so i can shoot people, got to love this country not accountability if your a cop
Well the taser was working and the suspect could flee so they put 2 rounds into him
We watched a city full of cops not kill a school shoot this fast
This is exactly why you should never call the police on your loved ones who are acting crazy or being aggressive. All you had to do is defend yourself and probably use a taser and pepper spray to subdue your loved ones.
One of the few videos on here where I say unjustified shooting.
It reminds me of the cop who shot the drunk guy in the hotel who couldn't waddle on his knees appropriately. That cop fled to The Philippines and has evaded all justice.
@@hopeseekr Didn't he get found not guilty? I don't think that's true.
@@hopeseekr it reminds me of the cop that shot a guy 7 times in the back who had a pocket knife and was going 2 mph in a mobility scooter. They were too quick to shot on this one.
Weapon and approaching officers after caller said he was breaking in and caller was gonna shoot him.
@@BudsCartoon He was actually walking away from officers before they got in front of him and he stopped and was just standing there. Go to the eye doctor.
i guess police only choose to stay back and not shoot when there's a mass shooter like in Uvalde. But a random drunk guy in his backyard is enough to do it.
Pro tip for any criminal: put children in danger and the police will be sure to value themselves over the innocent lives and let you cause as much damage as you want.
@Aluzky So you believe our only two choices are useless cops or trigger happy cops? SMH
true dat. Because they afraid to die in the line of duty to acutally protect.
@Aluzky It's not obvious because that is arguably the majority of cops yet you failed to mention them in your previous comment. I guess you are not as smooth brained as your first comment made you seem.
Wow he actually stayed up for about 10 seconds 😆
Can't we hold those who are being violent accountable for their decisions sometimes?
That's the most overstatement ever imposed on RUclips audience.
It was an unjustified shooting .. end of story
@@ShawnLamont1997 I would like to know where you received your law degree, so to make sure i do not go there.
@@ShawnLamont1997 You would say that, living in a gated community with guards
@@rondodson5736 If this was a citizen be citizen encounter, the shooter would be in jail for sure. There was no immediate deadly threat.
In this case, I didn’t see the dude being aggressive to have warranted to fired 2 rounds at him.
Yeah except for ignoring lawful commands to drop a lethal weapon and ripping the taser cords out of his chest. Other than that totally unagrressive. Oh and if you count the death threats against his family that made them call the cops in the first place, but other than that a real gentleman napping on the neighbors grass minding his own business carrying a trailer hitch for no reason.
@@rmsg7504 he looked confused. You’re a psychopath.
@@rmsg7504 And what's to say that story is 100% true? That's part of why they are there, to find out what is happening, from the accused and the accuser. You don't know the facts, I don't know the facts, we just have the video. Going off of what I see in the video, no reason to escalate to lethal force. I've seen cops take a lead pipe to the face and still take down the criminal without lethal force.
@@DudeMcGuybro Gather around the fire everyone and put on your tinfoil hats, its a conspiracy now. The whole thing was a setup..... Lame. Actually if you watch the video all the facts are right there so we BOTH are witness to the facts. Both visually and auditory. IF you don't want to accept that facts or you disagree that's fine, but they are there that is why the police released the badge cam video so people can see what exactly happened. It doesn't get more clear cut than this. CCTV and 2 badge cams with audio.
911 operator: (questions she missed)
what's his mother's maiden name?
What's his blood type?
What high school did he go to? Did he graduate?
Does he have any pets, if so, what are they?"
In the meantime, she hasn't put the call in putting everyone in danger! What a buffoon!
You forgot "How many facebook friends does he have?" While this is actually a pretty funny comment, I think they ask all those random questions to try and distract the caller a little since he said he was thinking about shooting the guy. She a very tiny window into the situation and since the caller sounds relatively safe, she is probably just trying to distract him from engaging the drunk guy until the cops show up (just a guess, I could be wrong). Unlucky this cop showed up. I generally err on the side of giving the cops the benefit of the doubt, but this one is pretty bad. I don't want that guy to show up if I call, yikies. At the very least his cop career should be over. Poor judgement.
Dispatchers are notorious for asking questions that were just answered by the caller! THERES A GUY WITH A GUN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. Ok so youre saying theres a man outside sir? YES.. ok and does he have any weapons on him? YESSSS!!!! Jesus.
Omg, I hope those aren't protocol questions. Someone would get hury while answering questons. I have questions.n
Oh you forget the question what's his zodiac sign and what's yours?
What do you mean she "hasn't put the call in?"
Comply or die. It's the law.
That woman’s scream is heart breaking
Just like George Floyd's mother. 👌
I thought it was pitiful. Drama queen. It was someone in that household who called the filth! Sounds like he was a wrongen
“Wielding” or holding? It’s not a weapon and he wasn’t brandishing it. Unjustified shooting.
To be fair, a tow hitch is a blunt object, and can be used as weapon the same way a bike lock can. But in this case, he didn't pose a threat, so I agree with you on the terms of unjustified shooting.
@@seancombs1188 he was uncooperative. Had an item he'd threaten someone with. He was dangerous. If they had waited a little longer and had he ran towards a home, neighbor, or an officer. It's totally justified. This was too quick but never assume someone is not a threat because of their appearance. Ever. Cops shouldn't operate that way in my opinion. They need to be vigilant and cool headed.
@@KhamTVinc While I agree with you that cops need to be ever-vigilant (ESPECIALLY nowadays), there was no need to shoot the man in my opinion. To be honest, this video is muddied with grey area, since they fired the taser to no effect, and only had live rounds left as their only means of defense. However the man wasn't near anyone else, and didn't seem to have any intent (or ability, based on his stumbling) to charge them effectively. My opinion doesn't really mean much though since I wasn't there, and don't know how I would've reacted in the same situation.
@@seancombs1188 he was high out of his wits and didn't comply with orders. the taser didn't faze him so the only way to put him on (in this case "in") the ground was bullets.. even then it took a while before he dropped.
@@seancombs1188 oh for sure he didn't need to be shot. The prerequisites for that reaction weren't all there. That is what I meant by it happened too quick.
This is exactly why I will never call the cops on family or someone I actually care about, having a crisis.
Exactly right in situations like this especially with you know the person, calling cops is worst decision you can make..
No doubt.
I don't get your comment. The father wanted someone else to execute his son in law so he called to cops. Right decision.
@@lennykump8396 lol yea dude was surely a worthless pos who needed a little lead poisonin
The caller said HE was going to shoot him.
Got to admit that cop was a little quick on the trigger 😮
Never call the police unless you want someone to die.
A police officer should never bring more aggression into the situation than the situation is. Paul was calm and showed no aggression. The shooting was groundless and unjustified!
So the officers should've waited for him to attack them? No way! He didn't listen to any verbal commands. Would you wait for a wolf to shred you to pieces before you shoot it? I don't think so. The officers gave him more than enough chances to drop the weapon, he didn't comply and got shot. Very good reaction from the Officers!
@@mista__g__
It is only your assumption, and theirs, was that he was going to attack them. Clearly the man was inebriated to the point where all the officers had to do was out-finesse him and quickly apprehend him. When the taser had no effect (as is often the case with drunk people) the cops' adrenaline level was the only thing that got out of control.
No violent crime was committed other than the senseless killing by cops, who don't wear bulletproof helmets because they don't want to intimidate the public with a military-like presence, but will shoot a man simply for being too drunk to immediately comply.
Ain’t gonna lied, sometimes when you call cops to solve a problem it’s like you should have never called them.
I agree. Social workers with clipboards are the best way to deal with belligerent drunks.
@@bunsonhoneydew9099 I hear u but let’s be real here. This is the first shooting I’ve seen that I’d consider unjustified. They could’ve at least tried to deescalate the situation more before shooting the guy. Plus he looks so drunk they probably could’ve just tackled him
I wonder if the screams and crying are from the house that called 🤷♀️ probably couldve ignored this drunk inside the house
Coming from the person who PROBABLY has a few bench warrants. Law abiding Citizens call your weird as$es in all night long. You should be ashamed and embarrassed: "Ain't gonna lied" ...haha WOW
@@ryan19754 if this the first unjustified shooting you seen you either live under a rock or are actually a r e t a r d
That poor woman screaming after asking "did you shoot him?" OMG 😭😭
His momma :(
@@danos3284 it was her son in law not her son. Still heartbreaking
Maybe she could have done something beforehand, to avoid such kind of situation. It was an unjustified shooting, no doubt about that, but often people dont think ahead...
@@alizaepstein6567 thanks yeah terrible situation
It's kind of disturbing how quick American police are to end somebodies life.
Act right then.
@@777SFINN777fr
The sky was allegedly blue and the grass was allegedly green lol.
as a law enforcement supporter, this shooting was unjustified.
so you admit theres a huge issue with law enforcement training right ?
you can now be killed for being drunk and uncooperative. this video is disturbing
@@Jordan-vx2ly thats not an admission of anything bruh, justs saying this is unjustified
I agree 100%. There was no reason to shoot him.
@@Jordan-vx2ly The only thing law enforcement does wrong is refuse to arrest bounty hunters, security guards, bouncers, loss prevention, and other wanna-bee cops for battery.
Officer who fired his weapon, didn’t even communicate “fire shots fire shots” to dispatch. Unjustified killing. Officer should be in jail for taking away this guy’s life
Assahbi you live in Murrica?
Ooohhh so it's just the reporting of shots fired that determine whether it was justified or not? Makes sense. Also It's "shots fired" not the other way around
@Justice Forall a little gun happy are we ?
You may want to listen to the audio again, both officers tried to put it out and got the busy tone... I just laughed because that was your reasoning on justification...
Seriously. WTF ???
A child could have sneaked up on this poor soul.
This is bad training and in my eyes plain murder.
A criminally bad shoot, of course, but you clearly do not know the legal definition of "murder."
Another fantastic example of where a taser has little to no effect on someone. He simply pulls the probes and keeps walking. Amazing.😧
Victim never raised a weapon, simply intoxicated.Didn't deserve to be executed in such a brutal manner!Shame on the Modesto Police Dept
From Adelaide South Australia
Too drunk to comply
What do you expect? It's California.
I think it was a justified shooting, the guy clearly was in for a attack. I hope his family learned there lesson and keep there drunk or drugged-up family members off the street.
@@VicGreenBitcoin should take a lesson from the police in the uk they seem to tackle people armed with knives and all sorts of weapons just fine and they dont have guns, you dont need to shoot everyone you see they could have easily took him to the ground, American cops are ridiculous no wonder there is so much murder there
THIS IS AMERICA DUDE. THE LAND OF THE FREE (TO SHOOT AND KILL INNOCENT CIVS). THE LAND OF THE HOMELESS, AND LAND OF DRUGS, AND BOMBING INNOCENT CIVILIANS OVERSEAS.
This was one unjustified shoot if I've ever seen one. Cop should be in a cell. Period. This is just wrong
He was advancing at officers with a weapon. He may not have been running at them full force, but he was tased and when it didn't work he picked up speed and continued to advance at them. Should they wait until he's swinging a solid steel pipe with a 5-10lb metal ball on it at their heads? Cops (and normal civilians) shouldn't have to wait until they are in mortal danger to defend themselves. This guy made the decision to get drunk , go out and get a weapon and threaten people with it. The consequences of his actions are on him.
@@AdoreYouInAshXI why copy and paste?
@@AdoreYouInAshXI you talk like advancing was him running at them. Let this happen to you with someone you care about. Guess they would deserve it, according to your flawed logic.
@@AdoreYouInAshXI The officers weren't in danger though the guy is clearly struggling to even walk properly. They could have extremely easily tackled him but instead used deadly force when it was very unjustified. There is no possible way that you could justify this.
What weapon ? tow hitch is not classified as a weapon .. he's not doing any swinging action with that thing that can make the cops feel threaten.. the pepper spray and baton is more than enough to tackle a drunk men to the ground.
Do not shoot towards a house folks. Know what is behind your target.
That cop murdered him man. I mean a warning shot was all it would’ve of took to probably rattle the guy enough to calm down. But that cop straight up point blank fired off 2 rounds into that guy’s chest or head perhaps it looked like. That was flat out murder if you ask me.
No one asked you. You weren't there. And two shots fired. Two hits, and he still didn't follow their commands to get on the ground until he collapsed a full 20 seconds later. With his behavior, he'd have eventually hurt or killed someone another day.
WHEN POLICE POINT A FIREARM AT YOU AND GIVE COMMANDS, STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD. YOU'LL LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY.
Definitely murder.
@@828enigma6 The point is a cop using there service weapon should always be a last resort thing. He didn't have a gun just a tow hitch which can be deadly but only at very close range. He was far enough away and moving slowly so they had plenty of time to use other non lethal methods to get him down. That cop was to trigger happy. The only way i would have agreed it was justfied to shoot that soon was if he had a gun or other longer rang weapon then then what he had.
Should be in jail 15+ years for that. Pure insanity and blood thirsty.
Now imagine that was you in your front yard and you shot someone like that. You would be in prison for the rest of your life absolutely without a doubt
And he was shooting into or towards that house where there could be children or anyone else !!!!
If it was you on your own property its most likely self defense, and the only way someone was getting hit was if the officer missed, those rounds aren’t going to pierce through him🧐 and he will almost never miss at point blank against someone moving like a sloth, but in the end it was unjustified.
@@thiccnsaltytv998 In a lot of states unfortunately, if you assault or kill someone on your property; you go down because you were "supposed to retreat or avoid the individual as best you could" before lethal force is used. You actually have to wait for them to come into your house. It call all be argued if you have a good enough lawyer though.
Civilians can't do things cops can. You are comparing apples and oranges. Instantly your argument falls apart the second you type it out. Police have law enforcement powers civilians don't have.
@@thiccnsaltytv998 def could have passed thru. I've had the smallest caliber do a in and out on me .
I've been tasered once when I was a kid while running from the cops. My muscles immediately lock up like I was frozen stiff and I couldn't breath. I fell face down with my arms and hands underneath my body. The cops then told me "Put your hands behind your back or I will shoot you!" while pressing and holding the button for 10 seconds at a time then releasing it. I tired to reply back but I had no air in my lungs to speak. After about 30 secs I was finally able to move my arms and put them behind my back. I was very close to being shot. They hit me right next to my heart. The next day I had a base ball size lump on my chest.
Thats quite excessive from a bystander prospective.
I had written a long paragraph but then I deleted it, I noticed who am I to judge someone you made a mistake so I am going to keep it like that, God Bless You both this was uncalled for.
Funny how holding a tow hitch can get you shot, but for looting and burning there isn't even a misdemeanor charge.
You are like the saying "one step forward, two steps back".
What are you talking about? Looting and arson are illegal.
How was that slow moving man a threat? Back in the day cops would've tackled the guy and had him in cuffs no death needed.
Back in the day? Lol I just saw a recent video of officers tackling down a violent individual. Don’t let one video convince you that something isn’t the same anymore like “back in the days”.
bruh he has a weapon and wouldn’t comply wtf are they supposed to do
There is an attack on masculinity. Anybody who questions authority is to be taken out of the gene pool. I wish people saw these signs for what they are.
@@elijahluke5233 The weapon was down by his side. They shoulda done what he suggested,......tackle the drunk guy.
@Elijah
Not commit murder would be a good place to start
That was completely unnecessary and the cop definitely should NOT have shot the guy
If you want a family member dead just call the police and tell them you're in fear for your life.
It's like, most the time I'm on the cops side and then there's situations like this where I'm just completely baffled at their actions.
Dudes uncooperative the tasers not working, he’s still walking to the officers it’s been proven a person can close a 20 foot distance to you before you can I holster your weapon and fire if you don’t they’ll already be on you. A guy with a blunt object can kill someone
Lol so kill them before they try now?
Same here
So what exactly did the police do wrong? How come bounty hunters were allowed to shoot Walter Hutchins dead, but a police officer can't defend himself against an aggressor?
For the record, I HATE the police since they arrest people for "robbery" if they defend themselves against retail loss prevention and allow bounty hunters to break into our homes, but I'm sick of Police Academy dropouts like bounty hunters, loss prevention, bouncers, and armed guards being allowed to use lethal force when the real police aren't allowed to do the same.
Same here
This is why you only call the cops as an absolute last resort when dealing with family arguments/fights.. too many times stuff like this happens
and it only happens in the USA, your police seem either incapable or unwilling to defuse situations without killing suspects, its amazing to other forces across the world that you have such little concern for your own citizens.
@@mariadowler1279 You speak freely for so many other countries that it denies your credibility.
so, all those “snitches” stories save people? I absolutely disagree with your premise. If the criminal won’t listen to cops who will they listen to? Get the cops there BEFORE it gets worse. “Last resort” has got to be the most dangerous advice I’ve heard. This guy in the video had a weapon and was breaking stuff. I dont think the cop should’ve shot him the way it happened but I’m glad they called the cops.
@@mariadowler1279 only in america are so many people ready and willing to kill cops or die trying
@@mariadowler1279 -- That's a good point, MD, but keep in mind that this type thing only happens a few dozen times a year in the U.S., in a country of three hundred million people.
He was literally saying “it’s chill it’s chill”
That was a murder. The man was clearly drunk. This could have been de escalated
Caramels was he saying, or was he literally saying 🤡
Does the shooter= murderer fear one second about holis life??!!
They just killed a man that most likely had more curage and heart in his little finger than these cowards have in their entire body's.
Shots were premature, but so crazy how he just stood there after taking lead to the body.
I think the taser and bullets made him stiff. His right heel never touched the ground in that moment.
Shock and adrenaline will do that to ya
It probably didn’t register. Similar to the commands.
Apparently people usually only fall after being shot because they've seen it in movies. Generally a bullet won't knock you down, but it also depends on the weapon used and the victims state of mind.
@@icarusalchemist1398 I was gonna mention the fact he didn’t fall. Which is what made it strange...
That cop is a murderer.
He didn't do his job right.
He needs to go to prison.
He got scared like a chicken
That cop protected the caller from the drunk. He did his job. IF you have a weapon in your hand and don't drop it, cops will shoot you.
@@rmsg7504 you must not understand what being drunk does to the mind
@@Darkfoot21 I understand it just fine, doesn't take a genius. IT doesn't excuse his behavior otherwise NO ONE would ever be charged with a DUI. Suddenly being a drunk is a get out of jail card? Get real.
@@rmsg7504 never claimed it was a get out of jail card, the point is the guy never went to jail, I wanted that guy in jail, instead he was just killed
Also DUI's are a thing BECAUSE it changes your behavior
Wow...that went too far way too fast. One taser shot, no threatening actions, aside from non compliance, and he's shot in the torso two times? I think this defines excessive. It's absolutely wrong to no not comply with lawful orders, but was this worth executing him?
Here’s the deal. What he had in his hand could kill someone pretty quickly. Although some departments would have backed off and continued shouting the same thing at him I don’t really think that’s something they should be expected to do. When a situation like this is prolonged the danger to the public and officers present just grow. The guy had an adequate chance to determine that these officers saw him as a threat and to listen to commands.
Huh. Are you high? Or blind
Note that the taser was not effective, so they went to the next level.I agree with you. From the father in-law call he also felt threatened enough to tell the dispatcher that if he enters his house can shoot him.
If t you listened to the tape the Father-in-law asks the dispatcher if he comes into my house can I shoot him? So the father in law knows that his son-in-law is a threat. The taser was ineffective and he was holding a weapon that could kill.
Well, you guys combined have a whooping 1 like. I have 17. I’m going to stop trying to convince you three that execution wasn’t necessary at that moment. Take care.
Comply or die seems to be the motto here
It's pretty bad when cops clearly have a drunk man that can barely walk and instead of taking him to the ground they just shoot him. Unbelievable!!!!
They're cowards. It's practically a job requirement.
Cope and seethe
nobody wants to get bludgeoned by a tow hitch
How about you taking him on with a wrench in his hand.
There was no rush, he wasn't going to get away. They should give the guy a minute to realize the situation, wait for more backup, and go hands on.
Videos like this might actually end up deterring people from calling police for help with family members..who’d risk receiving trigger happy police when it’s your own family?
That cop was WAY too quick to use lethal imo.
it wont because not every caller sees these videos, ever see the cop murder the deaf guy who had a pen knife and was sitting on a bench whittling ? the cop told him to put the knife down three times then shot him 16 times for not obeying the guy didn't even hear the gunshots . someone called the cops on him
There was a case here where I live, a family with a mentally I’ll son refused to call the cops when he acted up out of fear that the police would shoot him. The cops here are trigger happy too. The kid ended up beheading his own father in the kitchen one day.
what ever happened to comments like "if he'd complied with the officers he'd still be alive?".... oh wait never mind, i see his make up
Yup
Everyone has the opinion cop is too quick to use lethal, until they are in jeopardy then they complain the cop didn't use lethal fast enough.
How is a tow hitch called for shooting a drunk shirtless man twice? Cop should be ashamed.
"that's my son did you just shoot him??"
"Yep."
That cop was a coward he didn't. Even charge at them he just wanted to shoot.him because in all.his years he never discharged his weapon so he didn't want to retire until he had a story to tell his wife and children what a coward
He didn't drop the weapon so was shot. End of story. Coward, no. Who wants to be hit in the head with a trailer hitch? That's not cowardice its self-preservation; but he took the shot to protect the family that had been threatened with death threats by the drunk. If you were paying attention the drunk starts heading back there when the cops show up.
He didn’t deserve that.
He did, actually.
The person/people who he threatend to beat to death probably disagrees. I don't think anyone should have to put up with someone coming onto their property and telling them they're gonna kill them. Maybe don't drink if you're gonna have murderous tendancies, just a thought. Looks like the universe gave him the ol uno reverse card. You don't get a free pass because you married into the family. It is never alright to threaten others and even more messe dup when you do it to family.

@@Wuh1988 Unjustified and is sad that you think that he deserved to be murdered.
No effort to de escalate the situation. That was murder
Calling cops should come with a general surgeon's warning of "may cause bodily harm or death."
This is MURDER BY COP.
CHARGE THEM.
There was NO THREAT. NO IMMINENT THREAT. There had BEEN NO THREATS.
Cops are not permitted to just kill people who disregard their orders.
I'm crying here.
Yeah I agree with you for sure on this one. I think many cop killings are justified but this one was CLEARLY UNjustified! The man is allowed to be carrying a hitch. The man is allowed to walk. He was in NO way acting as if he was going to hurt any of the cops. His last words before getting shot by them was "its okay". There were no sudden movements by him or anything. They literally shot him after telling him a few times to drop the hitch. That's murder. Just because you are a cop doesn't mean you can shoot someone after they fail to cooperate with your orders. That's NOT a license to kill. The cop who did this is just a pathetic murderer with a badge and a disgrace to humanity.
Yeah, brother got shot?
I watch these all the time and 99% of them are justified. This is definitely one where it seems like they went from 0 to lethal in no time at all. It’s gonna be hard to justify this by saying they felt in danger. They had distance, there wasn’t anyone else around to protect. He wasn’t moving towards them. He wasn’t complying, for sure, but he wasn’t a danger at the moment he was shot. They didn’t even warn him he would be shot if he didn’t drop the hitch.
Yeah cuz normal family members threaten to kill eachother drunk. Right on dude
I kind of agree with you that it’s stepped up pretty quick but you have to understand they taser it had no effect they gave him multiple commands he is the one at fault no one else. If you’ve got a gun pointed at you and you don’t comply it’s your fault if you’re shot. I told huge hitting someone in the head with that killed him instantly. Can you imagine if he hadn’t gotten one of the officers obviously he was feeling no pain the Tayser had no effect even being shot twice had no effect for several seconds. The bottom line is the cops are going to make sure they go home and they should. They’re just they’re trying to enforce the law this guy is not complying.
He was actually moving towards the cop who had tased him. Was that justification to shoot him? I don't think so. At the speed he was moving, the officer could have back pedaled at the same speed to keep his distance.
If the man had lunged at the cop, I would say that the shooting was justified.
They only said "put it down" dozens upon dozens of times.
Shooting still not justified, but they told him to put it down, and "IT" was in reference to the hitch.
while i can agree with you on most of these points if you've watched enough of these like you said you have then you would know that allowing a subject who has threatened the lives of others to go into a house will lead to a hostage situation which is DEFINITELY not what you want, is it fully justified because of that? no but you fail to even take into account the potential hostage situation they resolved by not allowing him to go into that domicile (i dont even know if it was his house he was found laying down in the yard of the domicile next to the one he was attempting to enter when walking away from officers)
I think he was so stunned that he got shot over holding a piece a metal lmao
Cop has no communication skills. He escalated the situation making thing worse than they could’ve been
Thanks Mr cop dude, for saving us all from that tow hitch.
cali cops.
Deadly weapon
@@christ9467 A pencil is a deadly weapon. So shoot everyone then?
Outlaw tactical tow hitches
@@christ9467 that cop probably still shot if he was holding chopsticks.
Never call the Death Squad on someone you're not willing to see killed
@Ryan666 you're the same kind of redneck that wants to open carry a hunting rifle in public without getting shot. Make up your mind. Besides I'm talking about calling the police on your own family, mind your own
When you finally get rid of them, no one is going to protect people like you from people like me. Good luck!
@@somewhitman4040 some of us are still getting the job done with them around. Where you at?
i mean dude just swatted the taser after it was deployed like im not even mad, im impressed lol
This was a case of horrible training, plus a guy who should never have been a cop.
The police shot him pretty quick. I understand that he was drunk but they didn't try to talk him down or anything. I know the taser didn't work, so they immediately went to shooting him. I normally support the police but not on this one.
I agree with you on this, but let's be realistic here . We are nothing but a bag of choices , he made a choice that day of drinking and causing commotion , and the cop made the choice to shoot .
Aint gun culture grand?
I’ve never seen someone shot and freeze standing up like that
they missed him twice
@@PHlophe lol that man is dead
You still haven't. It was blurred.
Probably the 11 thousandth comment to say this was an unacceptable use of force
Some bureaucrat blurred out the video. Why?
cop, he should go to jail immediately for this shooting!
He had a grudge. This is obvious by the way he told 911 "some drunk man" was at his door, when the truth is it was his son-in-law. He called a gun to do what he himself wanted to do, but couldn't.
im pretty sure he woulda smoked him he was asking the cop if he could shoot him, dont know why your making asumptions about someone you dont know
wtf are you talking about
Good shot! No more problems! ???any questions
His question to the dispatcher was pretty odd, too: "If he comes through the door, do I get a chance to shoot him?" Says a lot about his state of mind.
He clearly states to the dispatcher that it is his son in law.
“Do I get the chance to shoot him” is all they should have needed to hear to arrest the guy making the call
This police officer should be fired. Not a justifiable shooting. 3 cops and one drunk guy with a tow hitch. Just another poorly trained police department.
I’m not a law officer and I’ve never been in that situation. That being said I’ve seen other videos where officers were confronted with even more aggressive individuals and they held off shooting and made the arrest. It’s all a judgment call but in this situation given what I saw from my layman’s perspective, I don’t think the shooting needed to occurr so quickly.
It wasn’t a gun and he wasn’t moving or making any threatening gestures towards the officers and his hands were in full view the whole time it’s not like it was done at night with uncertainty. They should’ve tried to use another taser Or perhaps a beanbag gun. That being said very unfortunate that it had to happen
I agree, there were two officers there... even tackling him to the ground would have worked. It was clearly a tow hitch and not a knife or gun.
Have you ever been hit on the head with a solid piece of steel? It will kill you. You guys have no idea what you’re talking about.
Senseless.
his last words were 'Chill, Chill', definitely menacing and I feared for my life.
Not to mention the officer shot towards civilian home that was occupied bad decisions all the way around
wow he shot too fast, honestly this was not justifyable, he wasnt listening, but made no attempt to charge, swing, or attack in any way
He was listening because he said no when they told him to put it down. The fact that he pulled out the taser shows that if he charged the officer he would be hard to stop. I back this shoot. Even after shot he stood there for a hot minuite,he was on something that he didnt feel pain. You dont take a chance with those people.
They literally shot this man was still tasering him at the same time. Pulling a gun on a person that's showing no threat towards should be your last option especially when you have pepper spray
And bean bag guns
2 cops cant control a drunked men ??? WTF are you learning in Police school, who has the biggest Kill Streak or WHAT ???
The fact one cop pulled a taser and kept his distance even after using it and the other pulled his gun and went forward shot twice at a man who wasn't even looking at him says it all really.
Happens all the time. Tasers are known to not affect people.
@@ARDG89 better way of saying it is tasers don't work on some people because if both of those hooks don't make contact in his flesh then there isn't any current, meaning it wont do anything
Police officers are allowed to use force to protect themselves. You obviously don't know anything about policing.
@@truthspeaker7553 right But not this I mean dude look the cop was nit in danger there’s zero sign normally you’ll shoot after they start running at the cop in this case they didn’t
@@truthspeaker7553 you need to change your batshit name because you're talking some untruths.
That's medieval execution, that guy was just standing there, never charged at the officers.
I honestly don’t blame you for thinking that. With 1 brain cell it’s hard to comprehend such things.
@@SGvalentine you're the minority here. Just because you love the taste of salty cop hog on your tongue doesn't mean anyone else does. Feel free to fk off.
@@SGvalentine Well I'm sorry if I don't share the same killer mentality like you, be careful when you go at a resutaurant my guy, the chefs usually hold knives in their hands.
Is that the same screaming woman from all the shooting videos, or are they on a rotation?
All I can think of is my hunter education class and “know what’s behind what you’re shooting.”
I’d never call the cops on someone I cared about. We deal with our own because this is always a possibility once the cops arrive. To many trigger happy people out there.
@Xiao Wen Zhao is someone that acts like this really family?
And if someone cared about you, they wouldn't be acting like that.
@@djayt1215 Act like what? Drunk?
@@djayt1215 Yea if someone acts like this they are still family. The guy is Drunk? Have you not seen a drunk guy before?

he looked so drunk he wouldnt even have a chance to swing at the cops. this is sad to see him go like that
They should have sat down and had a few more drinks with him. Poor criminals :(
Well cops aren’t taking that risk and I don’t blame them that man could’ve swung at them and done some serious damage good cops
Criminals get more privileges than people who actually work
@@goodvibes3237 they need a job there qualified for than.. being a cop use to and still should and does to most require a little tuffness. They get trained have all body gear. No excuses. There cowards that's only who they hire.. most older cops would have handled it with out issue. Not sure there any left but it shows it's very easy to do.. imagine hiring a plumber that's not gonna take a chance on unclog your toilet... you would not stand for that... nor pay for it
Sad? Its great.
Oh by the way do you know if they muted their their conversation so they can make up their lies
Tough guy vs taser. Tough guy wins
Tough guy vs bullet. Tough guy looses.
This was literally an execution. Disgusting.
Afraid so. They probably feel like real men for killing a drunk.
👍
@@jorgearagon2035 LMFAO dont get drunk and pick fights. - a drunk
If my cop can’t take a drunk man 1 on 1 I don’t want him being my cop … scumbags
One on one? What is this the 16th century? The guy had a 4 pound trailer hitch in his hand. So if some guy was walking toward your family with a weapon you would just charge in and get struck in head in a very manly way so that the guy could then beat your family to death one by one while you lay on the ground dying watching the whole thing?
Wow you need more training. You blew this one. Fired
dispatcher takes waaaaaaay toooooooo long to take some action...
Just remember when calling the police, this is a very possible outcome.
Not if you live in a civilised country.
Even the father in law told the dispatcher if police didn’t arrive quick enough and the drunk broke in & touched his wife he was going to shoot him. Watch the whole video from start to finish.
Our Lovely Police Are Angels Sent From Heaven!🥰
I'm glad it is. Putting more garbage in the ground instead of wasting money rotting in jail just to be released a couple of months latter.
I don’t think dad will feel too guilty about the man who was clearly an abusive drunk being out of his daughters life.
"Do I get a chance to shoot him?"
You reallllllly should not be this eager to kill someone unless they've done something insanely bad.
Wooooooah, that cop should be in some trouble, that was insanely early with no sign of an attack.
He was going straight towards the people he was threatening to kill.. with a weapon, not complying & a taser didn't phase him.
@@Mandy-nt2cs Some drunk fool with a tire iron surrounded by the police was posing that much of a risk? We can't just shoot everybody like that.
Maybe you can put on a badge and wrestle the next crazy guy with a trailer hitch and let us know how it goes. The guy has every right to protect his home.
You apparently haven't had to be in that type of situation if they give him a lawful order to drop the hitch and he keeps advancing in their direction i would have shot to probably until the target dropped.the police made a good call if he would've thrown the hitch he could've knocked the cop out and he possibly could taken his gun and then what .....just think about it that way they do the dirt for you everyday so you don't have to kill that thief that breaks in Your house and raps your daughter or even worse ...blue lives matter to
@@Mandy-nt2cs The officers didn't get any first hand evidence of that threat so it should be worth about 0 in this situation. The fact that the taser failed doesn't necessarily mean anything regarding the guy - there are a lot of things that have to happened right for a taser to work properly.
Bro he just take off the taser ammo like it was just a fly
You ever smack you shin on a tow hitch? Those things are deadly.
I'm entirely baffled this escalated so quickly.
Are you really,, did u see the shooting at the wedding reception, smh
guy got shot for being drunk and doing what drunk people often do.
the cops weren't in the mood to wrestle a drunk guy to the ground.
Escalated so quickly, BECAUSE of ONE BAD COP!!!!! 👎 😡
@@loumcboy did you forget the several pound metal object in his hand?
That was an execution of a drunk person. Not a justified use of force by any stretch of the imagination.
@rub my conservative pee pee 🤡
He refused clear commands, did not drop the hitch, and was unresponsive to the officers.
Bull S### He disobeyed the officer’s commands and had tow hitch - he could’ve had other weapons on him as well. They tazed him first and he still didn’t comply. He’s the one who decided to ingest alcohol - he’s not innocent in any way
Those cops need to be in jail in general population
The dispatcher is a real life NPC.
