Newport Beach, California — On Thursday April 17, 2025, at approximately 9:15 p.m., a Newport Beach Police Officer was traveling eastbound on West Coast Highway. The Officer stopped at a red light in the number one lane at the intersection of Superior Avenue and West Coast Highway, when he noticed a motorcycle was also stopped at the red light in the number three lane. The motorcycle then continued through the intersection, disregarding the red light. The officer initiated a traffic stop and the motorcycle pulled over on West Coast Highway, East of Superior Avenue.
The motorcycle rider was later identified as 45-year-old Geoffrey Stirling. After the stop, the officer exited his vehicle and approached Sterling on foot. As he neared, Sterling got off his motorcycle. The officer issued multiple commands, instructing Sterling to sit down, but he failed to comply. The officer then radioed for backup and at that moment, Sterling advanced toward the officer and a physical altercation occurred. During the altercation, Sterling struck the officer several times in the head and then removed the officer’s taser from his duty belt. At one point Sterling placed the taser against the back of the officer’s head. The officer was able to break free and as Sterling pointed the taser at him, an officer-involved shooting occurred.
Seconds after the officer-involved shooting, additional officers arrived on scene and formulated a plan to take Sterling into custody and begin administering medical aid. A few minutes after the shooting, the Newport Beach Fire Department arrived on scene and took over medical treatment. Sterling was transported to a nearby hospital where he passed away. The officer was later treated and released from a local hospital for injuries sustained during the incident. A civilian police employee was on a ride-along at the time of this incident who remained in the vehicle and uninvolved.

Some people are just far too stupid to be on this Earth.
Went from won't sit down to laying down.
I could tell as soon as he got off the bike that it was not going to end well.
The cop should have just pulled his taser out instead of getting into a scuffle with no backup and took the key out of the ignition.
It's almost like departments should spend WAY more on de-escalation and hand-to-hand training or something. This was like watching two toddlers fight.
Did he shoot the taser out his hand??
He did his imitation of swiss cheese
Tkzz for sharing,.,..,peace
These people never cease to amaze me. It's always THEM. And as usual, Scott Adams could not be reached for comment. On another note, that officer must didn't learn how to do knee strikes at the academy.
Sounds like it worked out. Sorry the officer has to deal with the aftermath.
Instead of "THE FOLLOWING VIDEO CONTAINS……MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME ETC." It should say: "THE FOLLOWING IS HIGHLY ENTERTAINING AND IT'S ADVISED TO PAUSE NOW AND MAKE POPCORN BEFORE CONTINUING."
Ah yes , you know your judo well !
Thank you, Officer for your tremendous service. I’m sure this was a miserable situation for you but thank you for fighting for your life and winning!
Found out
Found out
He didn't have to shoot him that many times he dropped it after being shot twice so wtf happend there
He had a civ police employye with him and they did not attempt to help.. are they not allowed to help or what??
"Would it kill you if you sat down so I can talk to you?"
"No, but this right here will!" [takes the taser and gets killed]
😂😂😂 nite nite bud
No drugs on him? No warrants? He escalated a red light ticket to death sentence because…?
Once again stupidity reigns supreme and Darwin is smiling
super funny…… kinda sad, but super funny
DA Chris Becker would probably choose to charge this officer
Stupidity has consequences, as this idiot found out.
Darwin award winner. Fatal case of delusional entitlement.
Why i just drink my beer and go to sleep
C'mon everyone's had an uncle or a mom that drunk at a wedding. He got killed for being drunk. The cop shoulda tazed him from the moment he didn't obey but the cop choked and hesitated and now the poor dude is dead.
He turned a bad day into a permanently bad day!
He was so drunk if he had lived to the next morning he wouldn't have remembered even talking to that cop – that was blackout drunk – now he'll never know what he wouldn't remember
Poor orphaned bike…
Running a red light, being an cooperative, drunken smartass and assaulting an officer of the law, just earned you the prestigious Darwin award.
sit down or lay down your choice
Is the behavior of the motorcyclist what is commonly referred to as a “Chad”?
but the news says cops are only allowed to shoot black men….
Motorcycles fault
Different day, same demographic
Now the dude is only a part of a story being played on YouTube.
The whole argument about sitting down! Just wow!
Cops have a lot of discretion. Your attitude might be the difference between a ticket or a warning.
Apparently he thought peeing on himself would be a deterrent.
Thank You 😊 For your service.💙💙
💙💙💙🚓 👮🏻♂️ 💙💙
He didn't want to sit down, and ended up lying down for being an asshole.
Stupid 😂
And nothing of value was lost
Why would he think grabbing a cops taser is a good thing 😂
