A Florida man was shot by police after allegedly charging at officers while armed with knives Sunday. Authorities said deputies responded to a distressed caller who claimed his son was having a breakdown and walking around with knives. When Volusia County deputies arrived, they faced a standoff with 43-year-old Michael Collmar, who refused to comply as tensions got heated. Deputies shot Collmar after he allegedly charged at them, knives in hand, before disarming him and providing medical treatment. Authorities said Collmar is expected to recover from his injuries. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie has the details.

mental illness is ignored ion this country they let law enforcement deal with them so so so sad
Ask and you shall receive
Feel so sorry for his mother and father
Florida man
Police need to stop being such fking pus sies. Stop shooting people
All they had to do was burn up and he would’ve been cool
Country need to reopen the old school straightjackets and electroshock therapy asylums.
Having these people mingling around society is reckless.
Too many bud lights
It's unfortunate the police always have to respond to lunilatics like this. These people should be locked up in a facility
This guy was bad. He was going down sooner or latter…….Its best to be sooner!! WELL DONE OFFICERS, WELL DONE
Okay this doesn't make a lot of sense if the police know the man has a mental problem why don't they use their TASER instead. The police are quick to always pull out the gun and shoot someone😂😅😂😅😂😅
Drugs were not involved (much)
they already had it planned to kill that man, so many things they could have done to stop him, but noooo the cops do there favorite thing to do, that's to kill the person, that's the only end to a situation that the cops love to have, they all want that kill on there belts
So the tazer was not an option?
Obviously he needs to be held in a Controlled Environment for his and our safety.
They didn't need to shoot him they failed in my book
Pepper spray,tasers,50,000 volt stun shield,and that's just for starters,yet they use lethal force.That be the day I call em for anything.Have a nervous breakdown and pay for it with your life,just sickens me.Worst part about it is he told them he was mental and NO CRIME was even committed,he stated in the call he just walking around with a knife.
All you needed was one cop not 4 and one commentating everything that is happening
Not sure if this is the case, but way too many people become schizophrenic as a consequence of heavy drug addictions.
I grew up in NJ. The school system in the 60s-70s was atheistic rubbish. My brother, who was three years ahead of me, saw a "man" come into the classroom and literally tear down the poster of the 10 Commandments the teacher had on the wall near the door. The academics produced by the institutions of "higher education" in this country have been the force with their illegitimate stripping of the education system of any moral standards other than their own–which it can be asked even if those standards are moral or simply a subjective ideology that forever changes therein creating fertile ground for confusing minds of all ages of what is right or wrong. But thanks be to God, I came to know the saving faith of Jesus Christ in my twenties. I spent close to ten years in pursuit of the truth from a biblical perspective knowing what I had learned was foul and false. Two degrees later, I can tell you, these children and adults are victims of an atheistic anti-Christ system that plagues this country. Parents are without excuse as well. Because this collapse of moral correctness was injected through the school system as well as the political industrial complex via legislation, the plague has been visited on generations of families. The fix? Call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Plead with Him for your soul. When you know Him, the truth will set you free.
Meth-Drath.
Hi
You can’t help people with violent mental health issues.
All these dues are all on meth from mexico.
Meth and schizophrenia are never a good mix
Feel bad for the parents to have to worry that their son could snap at any time and he could attack them. He should be in a padded room, not just walking freely to have an episode in public. Imagine that he snapped in a store with innocent people around him who have no clue what is going on until it's too late.
Always Florida 😂
Drugs again…
