Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman announced Thursday that two Minneapolis officers will not be charged in the shooting death of a 36-year-old man Nov. 9. Officers Ryan Keyes and Neal Walsh fired eight shots at Travis Jordan, who was moving toward the officers with a 13.5-inch knife. Freeman’s office said he refused repeated orders to drop the weapon. The shots fired were prompted by a “super aggressive step†Jordan took toward the officers during the incident. The body camera footage was released Thursday as well. It shows Officer Keyes’ and Officer Walsh’s angles of the incident. The BCA’s investigation into the incident showed Jordan’s girlfriend told dispatchers that Jordan was threatening suicide at his home on Morgan Avenue North. She had spoken to Jordan on the phone a few minutes earlier and he said he wanted to die. The two officers were sent to the house and knocked on the door, receiving no response. One of the officers went to talk to a neighbor while the other walked around to the back of the house and spotted Jordan in the kitchen. He knocked on the door and told Jordan to go to the front door, which he did not. Jordan was seen on the phone during his time in the house. The investigation showed Jordan said some expletives to the officers.
When in front of the home again, officers heard Jordan yelling, including when he said, “Let’s do this.†It was after this that he walked outside, continuing to say, “Let’s do this.†Both officers told him to drop the knife he had in his hand and to stay inside. He ignored commands and continued forward saying, “I don’t want to do this.†Jordan reached the street curb and took a “super aggressive step†toward the officer and they both fired their weapons. Officers handcuffed him and provided first aid. Jordan was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center where he died. The BCA’s investigation showed the officers and Jordan were separated by only 12 feet when the shot was fired. “The evidence shows that at the time he was shot, Mr. Jordan was wielding a large knife, refused numerous commands to drop the knife, refused commands not to come out of the house or approach the officers and, instead, presented the officers with a deadly threat,†according to a new release. Freeman said Officers Walsh and Keyes’ use of deadly force was “objectively reasonable in the face of the danger of death or great bodily harm.”

Suicide by cop
The real pandemic
I am sorry, that was murder.
The number of disturbed people using cops for suicide is absolutely depressing. The way this guy went from screaming profanities and urges to start combat to crying he was sorry was pathetic. I really really hope the officers involved make it thru this mentally.
Yes, he had a knife… but are 9 BULLETS justified? just asking
We did this..
Let's do this. Ok, *Bang, bang*. It's done dude.
SBC again.
New meaning to Life flashes before eyes. 😆
Why the blur?
The snow makes this look like a video game
No pepper spray, no taser, just jump right to lethality to "treat" a 5150.
they need a number like 811 for people who just want to die, they can dial this number, request an assisted suicide, and a mental health worker can show up to end their suffering humanely
Hell I believe they ended up doing this…
I absolutely understand the first 2 shots, the last 15 not so much.
Shot fire shot fire , jejejejeje asà se trata a un stupid
Lmfao
8 bulluts, 6 when he was already down,
LETS DO IT!!!
"Gets shot"
I dont think he wants to do it anymore.
I was watching till the end this knife vs gun battle knowing with anticipation who will lose.
Sorry!😂
The 4 more shots the police officers took after the guy died when he hit the ground the police officer said he is turning in to a ZOMBIE🤣😂🤣
"This is spartaaa!"
2 second later….
"(Crying) I'm sorry!"
No bean bag challenge?
Fuck them pigs there all bad he could of use tazor
1:02 is where it starts
Shia LaBeouf: Just DO IT!
HIM:
Why no taser instead
Being forced to kill someone cause they want to die, will make this not funny. The officer will have to live with this, it's sad.
Kitchen Gun: Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Let’s all make fun of the guy who died!
rip headphone users
