Los Angeles, California — On August 13, 2021, around 10:42 a.m., LAPD Harbor Patrol Division officers responded to a radio call of an attempt suicide, male armed with a knife in the 1700 block of Wilmington Boulevard. As officers arrived, they saw the suspect, later identified as 26-year-old Brandon Russell Mayhand Jr., holding a knife in his hand. Mayhand was told to drop the knife, however he refused to comply. Mayhand began to walk toward the officers. One officer deployed a beanbag shotgun. Mayhand remained on his feet refusing to comply to stop and drop the knife. A second officer deployed the 40mm less lethal projectile. Mayhand remained on his feet and continued to advance on the officers with the knife in his hand resulting in an officer involved shooting. Mayhand was struck and fell to the ground with the knife by his hand. An officer deployed a TASER while an arrest team moved toward him and took him into custody. Mayhand was transported by the Los Angeles Fire Department to a local hospital for medical treatment. The knife Mayhand was armed with was recovered at scene.

  1. I give this police work a 5 out of 10. Taser first with beanbag rounds! Police could of killed him but choose to shoot him once instead 👍🏿

  2. He kinda seemed like he needed someone to talk to, In my opinion the dispatcher could’ve talked him up or showed a little interest in making him drop the knife before officers got there…but that’s just my opinion.

  3. I think talking it out instead of just giving commands mightve de-escalated and no force would have to be used. Guy was obviously looking for help

  4. This is how someone with mental problems should be handled much props to these officers who were careful not to hurt themselves​ but also the suspect

  5. Brandon is talking all smooth and soft in a low tone and watches his pitch and volume and has a México lik accent talking all nonchalantly….like I have a knife, and like I'm gonna do something to myself maybe possibly I dont know but come down the blvd. The cops: Brandon show me the 🔪 knife okay thats it….bang bang bang now taser up we need to use these new tasers see what they can do Brandon dont move stay still. Well fuk after you killed the poor guy who is mentally ill and deranged and scared and didn't pose no threat and ran out away from the police like a injured giraffes running away from a pack of hyenas ( cops) i mean why there's so many cops with guns blazing on all angles just for a knife the person is not attacking them but they shoot to kill??? That's murder right there straight up. They need to prosecute these pigs. And the shit they talking like its so cool ok Brandon thanks for your cooperation in life thanks for being here and now your not
    Have a nice trip to the other side Brandon we love you Brandon take care Brandon. Like what the fuk is that???

  6. This channel is phenomenal and I hope it really opens everyone’s eyes as to the life threatening risks our men and women in uniform deal with daily
    Fund the police

  7. Whoever came up with the tactic of saying the person's name over and over again has to have been wrong I mean that would drive me insane and I'm not even crazy

  8. Caller: “I’m ready to cut myself…”
    Voices in caller’s head: “So you’re calling the cops cause you’re too pussi to go through with it huh?”
    911 dispatcher: “What’s your phone number? Are the voices still in your head right now? How many of them are there?”
