Never call the police when someone is suicidal.
dont have a gun?
@@Tylerd838 lots of suicidal people might have weapons... you know, because they are *suicidal*
"Hello, 911, my son is suicidal, please help"
Operator; "yes mam, we will send officers out to assist in that" 🤣🤣🤣
NEVER CALL THE COPS FOR ANYTHING, THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS, NOR DO THEY COME TO HELP.........
The police were only doing what he was going to do anyway.
@@darnelljackson2160 hey buddy, go see your doctor. Cries for help like that out here on the web go unanswered.
Man: “I’m kinda sad and I’m thinking of ending my life.”
Cops: “We can help with that.”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment 😅😂😂
I feel so bad for the cops forced to end these peoples lives. Suicide by cop is not fair to the cops
@YEE YEE it wasn't suicide by cop. They murdered him in front of his mother.
@@userI3I2 He's not dead he survived
This is very hard to defend. They didn't even care about the mom they straight up fired!
He could have been about to shoot his mom. The cops only saw the shotgun
@@jamesanderson2272 Thats a dumb assumption to make. The police are already proven to be liars in this case when they said that he opened fire first and you can't see the shotgun from the body cam footage so why do you belive them?
Kind of makes you think twice about calling the police for help.
@@clanAnd123 If he's armed then I think it's perfectly reasonable to fire.
Did you ever see the video in which they shot the hostage driver to stop the car to get the thief?
This poor mother. Absolutely sickening how the police will just open fire on a person right Infront of their mom.
I can’t believe a mother, knowing her son is mentally ill, allowed him to possess a gun.
@@jamesanderson2272 guns are bad in general I agree. Still some messed up stuff
@@jamesanderson2272 Does her son look like a child to you?
@@sprizay3904 It’s sad but it was still a justified shooting
Dude pulled out a shot gun, if he had shot his mom or one of the officers then what. He made the choice that lead to getting shot
My cousin called the cops for help when her son was thinking about killing himself in the 90s. They shot him 35 times. She died regretting ever calling them. Her last words was apologizing to her dead son for calling them. I'll never forget that.
That is heartbreaking. I give my condolences for your loss.
Sorry to read that. Cops are just cowboys now. My Sympathies.
So sorry that your family had to go through this.
Most cops get very little to any psyc training. and wors some just become cops just to lliK civilians and qualified immunity is the gov way of saying that's ok.
My deepest and sincere condolences. That is such a horrible situation!
That brother got praying people in his family. He made it out and probably gained new appreciation for life.
I suffered a psychotic episode last year, and my mom called the cops three days after to help me. Instead of doing just that, the officer in command coerced me outside. (I dont even remember leaving the house but I DO remember not wanting to leave my room in fear of hurting anybody. Ironic.) He pinned me for public intoxication (it was 2 in the afternoon ffs). Never saw a breathalyzer. Spent 3 days in a concrete cell block and 3 weeks in a mental hospital. $1000 to a local lawyer to prove my innocence. Protect and serve (yourselves), I guess...
Cop= 666 inforcers
Public intoxication while at home and in your bedroom?
Lucky for you, you’re alive
You say you were in a psychotic episode
Maybe you dreamt the whole thing with the police..
You never know
"He was considering suicide his mother called the police to help"
They got there and they "helped" alright...
They need to be fired and charged ASAP
Exactly.. they definitely help.
Cops: "No don't!! Let us put you out of your misery,son."
It will never happen, they will investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong.

Who is calling the police for a welfare check?? We all know how those end up
They opened fire with her right there????? This is COMPLETELY outrageous....
Yeah idk how they can justify that, regardless of the rest.
They probably say it was an active shootout
Wow. Just wow. They could hv killed her
Not at all. He could have shot them with the gun he pulled. They have zero obligation to wait and find out.
@@shylae2000 But they didn't. What if they didn't fire and the guy with the shotgun blew her face off? You'd probably be sitting here typing "why didn't they DO something?"
There’s no way you can justify putting that lady in danger that way.
He was armed and suicidal. Cops were 100% justified in shooting.
@@stuwest3653she was close and bullets do ricochet
Well you are 100% wrong… if her son brandished a gun at cops then you can justify them shooting him
@@alanaldpal950 The way I see it is everyone stays behind at a safe distance while they order by loud speaker to the woman to get away. Its not rocket science
@@tavolorgia3472 and people are a threat while in a car not responding to police orders.
You can't have it both ways, where she is in danger by proximity but then renege all the others who were in danger and were deemed unjustified.
And you are the collective for those who repeat that.
"Their lives were in danger." My brother in christ, you pulled up on the scene and opened fire.
He pulled a shotgun on them.
“According to medical records obtained by state investigators, Mullinax told a doctor at the hospital he was talking to his mother about getting help when officers arrived, and when they arrived suddenly, he reached for the gun so they would shoot him because he didn’t have the courage to do it himself. He said couldn’t say why he changed his mind from seeking help to wanting to die.”
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk thats a misrepresentation of what happened. note the lack of "on them" in the statement. he pulled it on himself.
@@rorycannon7295 It’s still suicide by cop. He admitted to trying to get himself killed
@@rorycannon7295 ruclips.net/video/QCzho9Y2vE4/видео.html
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk thats a vacuous truth fallacy. jhust because he was trying to get them to fire doesnt mean they should have fired.
If you need help..why would you call a coward??
Note to self: If you find yourself in need of mental health professionals who can safely and effectively de-escalate a tense, emotional situation, do *NOT* call the police.
yep... been here done that. cops are never a solution.
I came into the comments with a compulsion to leave the same message.. that was an execution
Facts
Except how were cops supposed to know the shotgun wouldn't be used on them...but yes absolutely don't call police
We don’t call the police for anything

FACTS
Love how all of you people are perfectly fine with making conclusions without being seen any footage before the incident that would provide context to the officers actions.
I want to give this man the biggest hug omfg. You can hear the pain in his voice.
Cops "STOP COMMITTING SUICIDE RIGHT NOW!"
3 cops proceed to mag dump on him with his mom right in the line of fire!
It’s called suicide by cop dummy
Yeah that was wild😮
Their cover story stinks to high heaven. This is the kind of lying cops are used to doing - "he pulled a shotgun on us" even though the video does not show any shotgun. They shot him and lucked out when they found he had a gun and they didn't have to plant one.
Of course they are doubling down on the lie because it almost always works when they do.
He was a thug... he should have complied. #BlueLivesMatter. Good job officers. 1 violent thug less in the streets.

Sorry for your loss.
Absolutely horrific! I am from a law enforcement family. You Never, fire when an innocent bystander is right there! Geezes. They should all be fired, jailed, and that department needs to pay millions to that family for attempted murder charges. That's exactly what happend here. Very sad.
The other sad thing is that this type of incident puts innocent officers in the hot seat with enraged citizens. When there is a rightful public perception that many officers don't respect the safety of citizens, citizens start to return the favor, and don't care what happens to officers...they view them as occupying enemy soldiers serving their own hostile militarized organization rather than pillars of the local community protecting their neighbors... the honest and well intentioned people on all sides of this issue are who get harmed the most.
They jumped the gun for sure . They didn't give him time to respond, if he moved faster they would still of panicked, these cops should be better .
Police shoot deadly threats with innocent people nearby all the time. As long as the innocent people don’t get shot there is nothing wrong with it. This mother wasn’t physically harmed so no harm no foul
If you're from a law enforcement family then you clearly haven't learned anything about justified shootings lol. Innocent bystander there or not, he pulled a shotgun on cops. If you're from a law enforcement family, or if you even have common sense, you should know that a suicidal, mentally ill person with nothing to lose, surrounded by cops while also grabbing a shotgun is a recipe for disaster. If you're from a law enforcement family, you should know that he was a threat to everyone involved. If you're from a law enforcement family, you'd understand how ridiculous you seem with a statement like, "They should all be fired, jailed, and that department needs to pay millions to that family for attempted murder charges." What attempted murder charges? You mean when the guy surrounded by cops pulled out a lethal weapon and was therefore shot? IF you are from a law enforcement family, you'd know this is a 100% justified officer-involved shooting. Seems like they've been feeding your little mind complete nonsense.
@@squirtgargle How's that boot taste, buddy? Username checks out as well.
the woman said "never in her life would she expect to be put in danger by law enforcement" whenever you call police for anything, you're putting yourself in danger, they have guns and qualified immunity. and they're not afraid to use either for any reason.

Some of them shouldn't have neither
Now that she's talked, they are forever a danger to her.
Yeah, I think people shouldn't call the cops even if they are getting robbed that way they won't be in danger
Thats not policing thats a attempted execution. That culture of fist bumping violence needs to change. The statement from the police is disgusting.

This is literally the "Fine, I'll do it myself" Thanos quote
she is too calm for what just happened to her son right in front of her face....
acafb and they didn't even care about his mother standing right there. WHAT ELSE HAS THAT DEPARTMENT DONE TO PEOPLE
As a former law enforcement officer, this is disgusting. First and foremost, 50 shots, and only nine landed, comes to show you there’s a serious training problem. Not to mention the elephant in the room that they just open fire with another person in such close proximity. Those officers should be arrested, booked, charged and convicted for attempted murder, plain and simple. This has to stop. I can’t stand when I see my team do things like this because it doesn’t help our situation in any way shape or form
Well David since you claim to be a former LEO did you actually watch and listen to the whole video? Did you pick up on the part where he was wanted on burglary and malicious injury charges? Do you know anything about his prior contacts with LE? Did you pick up on the part where he produced a shotgun? I know NBC minimalized it, but it's there. How about the fact that the officers all engaged simultaneously when they all perceived a threat at the same time? No I think you just bought into this edited and slanted NBC report that is designed to paint the officers in a bad light. Notice how the story is absent any video preceding the shoot. And since this is a CIVIL lawsuit, the officers were already cleared CRIMINALLY of wrong doing...but you should know the difference being former a LEO. There is a lot more to this incident that NBC is not telling us. Sad that you bought into it, but hey...that's show biz.
@@benitosalazar3749 Well, tbh if you understand about law enforcement, especially in todays world, it’s all about de-escalation. It’s not up to an officer to sit there and shoot him especially when there was no real threat at that very moment they shot. Secondly, aren’t you doing the same thing you claim I’m doing when you didn’t even realize that I didn’t put my judgment solely on this video, I READ THE ACTUAL REPORT from this incident. So yes I stick to what I said before. I’ve been in many positions, including an active shooter, where I had to use restraint because if at that very moment you fired your gun, was there a actual threat, not a perceived one. Didn’t matter if he had a shotgun, did he point it in the direction of officers? Did he shoot the shotgun, did he point it at the female on the scene near to the vehicle? Was it necessary to put 50 rounds or even 40 in that vehicle? Since you seem like you know a lot, do you even know what Contagious shooting is? Yeah so if you have even been in the police training, or just use pretty much common sense, you would understand that Contagious shooting is when one officer shoots and the others on the scene just start shooting… in this instance this was extremely unnecessary. There’s a reason why training is important because there is always a way to be better than before and this is the perfect example. Not only that, if you need to reload your firearm after shooting at a stationary person then, there is a serious problem with your aim, which means you shouldn’t be in the field. Not only that, only 9 shots hit him out of all those shots…Officers like this are liabilities to the department. It’s simple. I like you support law enforcement or maybe you are a law enforcement officer, you should know better than to defend this. Police work is hard, we don’t need to make it harder by having officers like this. We can’t make excuses for this behavior.
Oh and I edited it because I think faster than I type and sometimes I have to correct what I wrote. Nothing wrong with it
@@davidprince2858 Could you be ex-LAPD? If so your perspective makes sense. Put the suspect's safety ahead of that of the officers and citizens. Seems the people with all the facts, who investigated the OIS determined there was no criminal wrong doing, disagree with you.
As for 50 rounds...how much training or experience do you have shooting through a windshield? Handgun rounds lose much of their energy and are partially deflected when striking a windshield. We had two shoots where the rounds lost so much energy they barely injured the suspect. Likely why this guy is still alive after 9 hits.
As such we trained to shoot multiple handgun rounds through a windshield for effect - in both directions. Did you consider how he might have got shot in the "back of the head?" Perhaps because he was moving around as the rounds landed, making him appear to be an active threat in the officers' minds. The upper torso/head region is a smaller target than center mass...especially if it is moving. More so if metal and laminated glass are deflecting your rounds.
As for the video, and since you "read" the report, how long were they there before the shoot? Clearly this biased news report does not want it's viewers to know. Did they tell mom to clear away and did she refuse? When you say a shotgun didn't matter you almost had me laughing. It does matter, especially when the crook is wanted and in a suicidal/homicidal mindset. Did he point it at them? I couldn't see in the video and neither could you. Did he point it towards his mom? What did the report say? Where does it say police have to wait until someone points a shotgun directly at them to use force? Nowhere. The standard is did they have reason to believe there was danger. Wanted criminal, suicidal/homicidal and with shotgun = leans to a big YES. Clearly the investigators who reviewed the case also thought so.
I lost a partner and friend to an armed and "suicidal" suspect. Don't tell me for one second people in that mindset are anything but dangerous. To think otherwise is foolishness that will get more cops killed.
@@benitosalazar3749 Ok, so I really don’t do this at all. I can’t believe I’m even going this far. One, nope not LAPD, but I will tell you I was with a major city police department. Secondly, at first, the training that they taught us about putting safety and citizens over a crook or a criminal was BS but when you dive deep in the training in the understanding of why there is such a thing, you would understand that it prevents simple things like this from happening. Thirdly, I think it’s a bit funny how you guys train to shoot through windshields when FBI experts and even military personnel’s would tell you that shooting through a windshield is one of the dumbest things you can do. And the reasoning behind it is everything that you mentioned. I think strategy, and a lot of more training would’ve had a different outcome in the situation. I think that if the officers at the scene, since there were multiple officers, would’ve been in a better position, then pointing the gun at a windshield, they would’ve eliminated the threat (if he was one at that moment) more easily. Regardless of what he was wanted for, AT THE MOMENT, what was the circumstance of the shooting. That’s how all officer involved shootings are investigated. As for the officers being cleared, South Carolina is a state that has a very high number of officers involved shootings that many other experts, outside of South Carolina what deem as inappropriate or excessive force. this has been exemplified many times before, even by seasoned FBI agents and use of force analytics. If you go look at the video in the report, it was no less than a minute after the officers got off their vehicle, and pretty much started shooting after they said, “Hands” several times. There was no real plan from the very beginning, and you can tell this was the case by the officers actions. Every law-enforcement officer could tell you by a video whether a plan was in motion or if they just sprung out and started shooting pretty much like this. And before you say that, I think I’m an expert or what have you. I would say that during my training in the Academy, plus my extra training that I received for being in a certain division of my department, I would say that this is terrible all around. Let’s say that the officers actually saw the shotgun like they said in the report, then why to officers, who were on the scene were smack dab in front of the black pick up truck that the suspect was in with a supposed “shotgun”, as a (Officer) immediately would have took cover behind my squad car and starting giving directions. These officers immediately exited their vehicle, stood in front of the vehicle, and began shooting, no explanation, could suffice the reasoning for what transpired at that moment. Even swap members if they are going to be in countering somebody with a shotgun, they do not pull up and immediately go to the front of the vehicle and start shooting. There’s a plan in place there’s cover being taken in their strategies being. I’ve been shot at before and never shot back and was able to take the suspect in custody. And yes the suspect was in a vehicle.
So again, I’m really not going to keep on with the back and forth. I really am just going to leave it as that. I respect your opinion and if this is ok with you, then so be it. Thank you for your service brother and stay safe
@@davidprince2858 Sorry, but the Monday morning quarterbacking by those with no experience and selective video editing in the media get to be frustrating. Clearly you are NOT one of those with no experience and are making your arguments from a sound background. We'll agree to disagree then, but the respect is there. Stay safe as well. 😊
Thank God him and his mom survived.
How can this be possible
Dude was already depressed, suicidal and then on top of that these people unload on him like its 4th of July. Poor guy, I hope his life is filled with happiness from here on.
In fact, had the police not shown up, he may have shot himself and he would not be around.
So many people have guns in America that the cops just shoot at anything that moves lol.

Don't ever ever call the police for help with a mental health issue. They will always use force as soon as possible and murdering or throwing someone in mental distress into jail will not help in any way
This is what we called in the Army "trigger happy" - bunch of punks who couldn't wait to shoot someone.

Don't ever call the police for anything, they're completely incompetent and emotionally stunted and there's a 99% chance they won't help you. I've seen monkeys at a zoo who were more intelligent than these pigs.

Only call the cops if you want someone to die.
Yeah it’s called suicide by cop dummy
I feel for all involved in this incident. The police did put themselves in a dangerous position by coming towards the individual and once they did that, any movement by the individual in the truck would be perceived as a threat to them.
Unfortunately, the officers should have been more patient and should have tried negotiating with him.
The fact that his mother was next to him proved he was hesitant in his suicide attempt and sadly it went awry from there.
They should but won't admit that they should have been more patient.
Not only did they shoot at him with excess shots, but the nerve for them to ALL shoot in the direction where his innocent mother was just baffles me. She could've got hurt too or even worse...
She was talking to him through the window, trying to talk him down and then the Goon Squad shows up and opens fire. Look at her grief, her pain as she sees them trying to murder her son.
And she witnessed 6 inches away the first shots into her son's head. In addition to him suing the cops, she could sue them for the trauma of witnessing the attempted murder of her son.
Eh, once they receive their payday they'll be happy with the outcome with a story to tell.
What is an "excess shot"? You've completely stumped me with that one.
If the cops shot mom accidentally, they would have charged the son
This happened to my friends brother in Modesto, CA. The brother who had supposedly bought a gun told his sister vague threats over the phone. But the brother has known mental issues so the family called the police to help them. Modesto officer Joseph Lamantia quickly arrived at the scene, yelled "show me your hands" as he has his weapon out. The brother, Trevor, immediately placed both his hands up and got on his knees, but the officer still fired 4 rounds. As Trevor lied on the floor in agony the officer still had the audacity to continue saying, "show me your hands".
Trevor pleaded for help as he laid on the ground heavily bleeding out but the officer himself provided no medical help within those moments.
Yes, getting a call about a man makings threats while in possession of a firearm is as serious as it gets but Trevor had no prior record, he was good hearted man who just graduated from San Jose State University months before and wanted to be a referee for pop warner football. Not to mention, Trevor did not have a weapon on him or anything in his hands.
Ofc Joseph Lamantia only got paid leave at first but he finally was later fired after through some intense and persistent protesting by the family. Joseph Lamantia has killed 4 people total, none of which should have been warranted when you review them, and he failed the psychological exam 14 times!
There needs to be a new law that states if any cadet fails whatever exam multiple times they should be barred from the occupation. Just like how it would be for the military.
Lawsuit !!!!
Sadly the left wants to lower the standards to become a cope ever more than they literally just did so we will continue to get more and more unqualified people on the force :(
Horrific story and seems to happen all the time in your country it’s sickening. In my country you fail ONCE you are out, it’s really hard becoming a cop in my country but in your country they just hand out badges like bubblegum. I mean 14 times, that insanity
it wont happen its only going to get worse
I'd say failing one time is enough to be barred.
This is why it's NEVER EVER safe to call the cops.
There is no law so petty that there's no officer willing to unload several clips into your twitching corpse while shouting "STOP RESISTING I'M AFRAID FOR MY LIFE" for the cameras they're covering.
This is exactly how they executed my cousin back in 2015.
He was at my parents, having a rough time in recovery. "Unknown caller" told cops he had been suicidal with a knife, so they were searching for him. Rolled up the driveway and lit him up, no REAL warning. His mom saw it all from the window. Then a parade of other cops showed up, and the smiles and fistbumping began.

Glad to see him pull thru and go after them.
It's a miracle that he survived.
Also, never call the cops during a mental health crisis.
Anytime you want to make a situation worse - call the police.
😂😂😂
And if you do call the police don’t pull a gun on them
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk He didn't pull a gun on them, that's the lie the cops are telling. Shotgun, windows closed in cab of truck, sitting behind the wheel, talking to mom through the window. They rolled up, opened fire and did zero assessment.
@@mainely8007 “Shotgun, windows closed in cab of truck, sitting behind the wheel, talking to mom through the window” Is English a second language for you or are you mentally disabled?
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk go get a life troll
His mother was standing next to him when they opened fire? She's lucky to be alive.
Never call law enforcement for help
Wow how reckless they could have easily killed her.
Her son could have killed her even more easily
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk na I highly doubt that he seem like he was just gonna shoot himself if he was gonna go thru with it
@@jaygunny8402 lol. So you’re right based on your assumption of what his intentions were? Hilarious.
@@billythekidder7182 are u assuming that he would have killed her?
@@billythekidder7182
Yes he was reported to be suicidal not homicidal.
They got a real knack for making a bad situation worse. I’ve seen it first hand where calling the cops turned into a much more tense and ugly scenario. DO NOT let them into your life unless absolutely no other options exist! I can’t stress this enough!
Stop calling
EXACTLY 💯
The cop on the right side of the screen opens fire and his mom is3 ft away. He was so eager to get in on the action but he endangered this woman needlessly. I guarantee these clowns have been to that stupid Warrior cop training class. They can't wait to shoot somebody.

@@risingforce9291 that’s perfect. I especially like how you completely left out the mentioning of the constitution and the rights of the general public.
WOW They endangered the guy's mother? Gotta feeling they'll be writing a big check on this one.
They waited their whole life to get to do that. No skin off of their back, they are law enforcement
it’s crazy how these departments are never held accountable and justify their actions
Heat Shields for a crooked Government is their Primary duty.

Except for the many times they are.
@@patmcbride9853 sure they are.
Well they did investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong. That's why.
@@mustaffa1611 Illustrating your lack of argument.
That chief of police should resign, possible even charged with something for creating such a dangerous police force.
Each of those officers should be facing life in prison for attempted murder
It is a sad day in this country when law enforcement and criminals are the same. Every one of these deputies should be charged with attempted murder.
He was a thug... he should have complied. #BlueLivesMatter. Good job officers. 1 violent thug less in the streets.
Without knowing the fact's to the case it's hard to tell who's at fault but if a cop deserves a murder rap.. it's the 201 geniuses fr Tx who allowed 19 children and 2 adults to be shot to death
They should be charged with dereliction of duty at the least!
Cops helped racist and kkk
@@firstnamelastname-jt5ci I can honestly agree with you , still doesn't change that there was the equivalent of negligent discharge of a firearm and murder honestly glad he's okay but still
0:54 "Never in my life I thought I would be put in danger by law enforcement" They behave like this everyday, it's not surprising at all.
Country people are stupid and still think cops are their friends.
You pull a gun on anybody, expect to get shot. This is what we need to teach our children. Instead we teaching them it’s somebody else’s fault… stupid games, stupid prices.
Man: I want to unalive myself.
Police: We can help with that.
Shot 9 times and survived?? Dang...tough MF
50 cent has entered the chat.
Amazing that he survived. Amazing that the mother standing by the truck wasn't killed. Geez.
The way of handling suicide people have changed so much that dude almost didn't even need to do it himself.
Open fire on a suicidal person with an unarmed civilian woman in the crossfire.
THERE IS LITERALLY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS BS!
I would never call wellness check on worst enemy.
I can't believe that the department is standing by their actions!!!!
That's how many cops are though, especially sheriffs.
LOL
They always do.
If these cops want to support this behavior, *they should be subjected to it...*
Are you a new here?
They put the life of the mother in jeopardy by firing without clearing first. Police are getting more and more out of control. 🙄
They don't care about anyone. These are some arrogant sociopathic bullies with a Mean Streak.
They just showed him how much he actually wanted to live
The last thing you ever do is call the cops for help with a family emergency.
This is an example of why I go out of my way to avoid the police.
murderers among us
@@VVVVV00 murderers and pedos are in the police departments cia and fbi , look up the news there was and officer who was active duty , he drove over state lines meets with a teenage girl , her parents sees a older guy at the house so he prob kills them and sets the home on fire and kidnaps her back to his state , and he ends up dead in a shoot out with police , this dudde IS AN ACTIVE OR WAS AN ACTIVE POLICE , LIKE DUDE WHY DID HE THINK IT WAS OK , WHOS TEACHING THESE PEOPLE ITS OK ????!??!?!?!?!?!? BUT ITS JUST A GAME TO THEM

that was insane they didn't even care about the women standing in the line of fire
Suppose he had shot his mother first. I wonder what the "ambulance chaser" would have to say then?
"pulled a shotgun" If you are in a situation where law enforcement officers are called, do not pull out a gun. It sounded like the report said a gun was pulled.
Never call the police for a situation like this.
Unacceptable ‼️The mom is standing right there!! WTH were they thinking??!!
They didn't shoot her. When police approach you do NOT reach or grab your gun. That's easy stuff isn't it? Newsbreak: Police don't have to wait until someone points a gun at them. If they say to show your hands and you grab a shotgun you might get shot. I can't believe anyone has to be told this.
Maybe of saving her life.
@Liquidmagma Probably a few of the stem cells in your brain didnt fully convert to brain cells.
@@stephenbergeron6268 You probably thought that was clever. Sorry to disappoint you.
@@liquidmagma Hi troll. How is your day?
I'm just shocked how they opened fire with the lady being so close like they have no disregard for her life all of those shots where all head level one could've easily gone right in her head
But she didn’t get shot so no harm no foul
He survived. A botched suicide is worst than suicide.
If the sherriff released that statement, then he needs to be fired. Such a disgusting police force they have going there.
Sheriff's can't be fired. ... Sadly. They are voted into office
@@shanemyrick5432 true, he needs to resign then
He pulled a gun on police. It was a clean shoot. Police did nothing wrong
He is flipping everyone off with that statement. Also the video does not align with the lie he is telling.
@@YEEYEE-dy8tk Imagine believing everything you are told.
Being awarded a couple million would cure my depression too!
You gotta take the bullets first to get the cheese.
Alright.. but I wanna see the money first, and pick where I get shot.
GHETTO LOTTERY
No it won't, Noel why would you say such a thing. Money does not solve depression it takes counseling and medication. Wow just wow
@@Horishobuok but you gotta pick 9 spots to be shot in.....that dude was lucky to even have a life after that. Those cops must have went to storm trooper shooting school, lucky that windows went opaque when they shot probably saves his life because they couldn't see him.
How nice of them to try and help the man with his suicide
Just, WOW!!! They have NO REMORSE!!! And they made it worse when they called for help.
He was considering suicide so the cops emptied their magazines.
Was he shot bb plastic pellets?
That's not why. He pulled a shotgun out, then they did overkill. He's still alive, must be a purpose for him that God has.
To South Carolinians:
Please get help instead of ever putting your loved ones through this. I recommend Marshall I. Pickens at Prisma Health in Greenville, SC on Grove Road. Go straight to the emergency room first, then if they have beds available, you might stay there for 72 hours or more. They have their own cafeteria, basketball gym, thought process group therapy, coping skills classes, you can color, put together puzzles, read books, receive guests in the evening in the cafeteria, they have beds, showers, basic necessities, televisions, arts and crafts, games, musical instruments, Psychiatrists, Nurses, case workers, doctors, therapists, etc. There are 4 wards.
maybe dont have a gun?
@@Tylerd838
The constitution states otherwise.
@@nobaddaze he didn’t pull a shotgun out, the shotgun was already out when they got there, it’s not exactly like you can hide it in your jeans
The fact that they opened fire with another innocent victim inches away, tells me these cops have no regard for the safety of the people they are sworn to protect.
it’s a miracle he is alive. seriously crazy. policing in this country is beyond awful.
You've been presented with a short, one-sided news video and you have made your judgement based off of that and you call it beyond awful.
Maybe you could be totally wrong.
The clown pulled out a shotgun. Do you expect the cops to wait and watch him shoot his mother or a police officer before they react?

@@ooneybird27 you have many opinions, which you are entitled too. However, facts are what are important. You are watching through a phone or a TV. The cops are seeing in real time with their own eyes a couple yards away. With regards to the first shots hitting the passenger side, you already said you couldn't see because of the glare. Maybe the suspect was on the passenger side. Maybe thats where he came up with the gun? Now obviously, some of what you said could also be true. But more often than not i will believe the version of events law enforcement tells me long before that of money hungry criminals.
Religious or not this proves a higher power decided to step in. Why? Cuz that was absolutely wrong.
Cops could drop kick a baby for crying and they'd "stand by their actions". That's getting old. His absolutely innocent Mother RIGHT THERE!! OMG! Totally negligent! So glad they're being sued.
Best comment and sadly true. Their arrogance is in line with sociopaths, sadists and bullies. "Yeah we stand by it, whaddya gonna do about it PUNK?"
Also the bootlickers will show up to tell us how it was justified.
Sure? They should get life sentences for attempted murder
50 mill.
Wow to survive that is a miracle
The mother should be sued for negligence for calling police for help. Who does that?
They unloaded with an innocent bystander less than a foot away from the shots...that's beyond reckless
Imagine all of the times police have to shoot deadly threats in the middle of a city with bystanders everywhere. They have no choice but to shoot whoever pulls a gun on them regardless of innocent bystanders.
NEVER call police if someone is suicidal, they will ALWAYS make the situation worse.
Never call the police
Period
They will ALWAYS make any of the situations worse
shittiest and most stereotypical logic ever but okay
@@nashoba8712 alright, lemme rob your house and hold you at gunpoint, don't call the police.
Then YOU had better not be driving, if you ACTUALLY feel that way.
@@josephgriffin2388 yeah, and man had a shotgun.
Dang… I’m glad both are fine…
Whenever big government arrives your safety is definitely in jeopardy!!
Too bad he didn't have friends in the woods to return fire. Remember that young people, these cops will chase you right into the woods, block the road and have your buddy's waiting.
Those are some well trained officers now by golly. 50 shots and they hit him 9 times. I fail too see where they thought he was a danger too them. He could not get a good shot at them while he was in the cab until he broke the window out which he did not do. Those police officers are too quick too unload on somebody and they put that innocent lady in danger.
How well would you do shooting through a windshield ? How about after the glass has taken a few shots and is now opaque?
@@bobroberts2371 I just think they was trigger happy. It seems like they are trained too keep shooting until mag is empty. Very seldom do I see a police officer on RUclips not empty his gun when he starts shooting and it takes very little provacation too start shooting
@@davidkellogg2582 Sounds like you are saying that police should only shoot after they have been hit by a bullet. And that they should shoot once, politely ask the threat if they have been hit then shoot once more if they were still an active threat.
@@bobroberts2371 He never pointed the gun at them. He was suicidal and threatening to shoot himself. They couldn't see through the glare on that windshield. They saw a movement and shot without knowing what that movement was.
@@bobroberts2371 No! I am saying that from the videos on RUclips it looks like they are trigger happy thugs that are not very well trained and not very smart and use the badge as an excuse too murder and they are way overpaid. And you are also.
