Rochester, New York State — Body camera footage released by Rochester police shows cops shooting and killing a knife-wielding man outside a homeless shelter early Wednesday. Capt.

The man also threatened to kill officers, who had reached out for an officer with a Taser. As the man got closer, several shots are then heard and the man falls to the ground. Police said the man, who has not been identified, was shot at least once in the upper body.

  1. Respect!!! They did literally everything to try deescalation but he just wasn’t having any of it i need you to not kill me for Jesus and drop the knife pretty much sums it up

  2. “Stop moving”

    I think he has, that’s just his circulatory system spazzing out as the muscles become less tense 😂 🤣

  3. I guess the thought of a 30 mph tap with the police car's bumper just escaped them…they had
    many opportunities to use their squad cars to knock him on his ass…just a little BUMP!
    40 cal. bullet ripping at 1600 feet per second vs 3500 lb. going 30 mph…what's less lethal?

  4. I wonder how many social workers with tasers and song-books we would lose per year…
    Well done officers, thank you for your service.

  5. Couple extra shots on his way down and even while down? Better off dead or alive? Does that make for more or less paperwork? Just curious.?

  6. Cops should take politicians out on patrol so they can experience the fear that cops have to experience every day. Then they would change their woke attitudes about policing.

  7. Why everyone saying an thinking was the cop thay said God damit first one giving all commands that shit him no doesn't fire not 1 shot an can hear the shots to his left om cam from distance n why he says God damit didn't want other cop shooting him an why kept said no no no don't do it an back up even told one cop rookie get back his car an go like wow must been the captain or head main dude in there department but uea was saying gd cause other cop shot him he never shot anyone

  8. Timid cops…. dropping a crazy nutjob is OK to do. This is what crappy BLM has done to our police force…. cops shouldn't have to back up for 5 minutes.

  9. I can’t believe that there are people out there that consider themselves to be intelligent and rational but come up with ideas like replacing cops with “social workers”. What the f*** would they do in this scenario? This happens often.

  10. Police officers aren’t bad people, they aren’t racist, and they aren’t blood thirsty. 95% of officers are good human beings that don’t want to inflict harm on others. It’s these idiots that pull the race card or perpetuate this false narrative that cops operate with malintent. It’s simply not true. Get this – THESE IDIOTS HAD THE BRIGHT IDEA OF REPLACING COPS WITH SOCIAL WORKERS 😂
