Bellingham Police have released the name of the suspect who died at the scene of a police shooting. In a BPD press release, the suspect has been identified as Manuel Gonzalez, 28. On Sunday, March 12, Gonzalez stabbed a man, age 20, in the neck during an altercation in the 100 block of E. Holly Street. Gonzalez then fled the scene on foot, while witnesses gave chase. Gonzalez ran to the 1400 block of Railroad Avenue where a second confrontation between witnesses and Gonzalez was ongoing.

  1. How are you supposed to put your hands out like an airplane when you've been shot in the neck? Your body naturally wants to hold your wounds.

  2. you know, you can put your firearm away now lady! he was incapacitated five minutes ago!! She didn't put the safety on when she holstered it either..geez..

  3. Put your hands out like an airplane..
    Well I'd love to play around, but apparently we're in a dilemma 😏

  4. There videos make me believe that there is justice in the world and that the wicked do not always prosper.

  5. HAY! I think i recognize that part of town. That looks like the Canadian port of entry in the background. I recall Bellingham being a friendly and mellow place. I wonder what this was all about.

  6. police activity please do a video compilation of sexy female cops arresting and shooting asshole criminals. please

  7. Okay.. a rarity on this channel to see a lawfully correct shooting,
    Four shots fired of which two when suspect was on the ground.
    It also appears that for many cops, their taser is apparently not an option.
    I honestly dont understand why it is always necessary to shoot so many rounds.

  8. i remember when this happened back when i was living in bellingham, i was like “he just had a knife why did they have to shoot him??” glad i’m more educated on police issues now, i’m also glad that the officers used the correct amount of force and no one more was injured.

  9. Wouldn't 1 shot have stopped him? They need to crack down on the way these situations are handled or could have been handled. I think 4 shots was a bit to much. OVERKILL I guaranteed if a regular citizen shot someone with a knife 4 times it wouldn't be justified as self defence. Just throwing that out there.

  10. Bellingham is close to the Boeing Airplane factory.
    “Put your hands out like a 747.”
    Good job cop, 2 donuts for realz

  11. Bellingham cops are becoming more and more aggressive against homeless people. Officer Smith came up to me, and threaten to write me a 99$ ticket for sitting on my backpack trying to make a buck. He chose to harass a disabled homeless man flying a sign so he can get a hot meal, instead of putting the guy in the alley selling dope in jail. Officer Smith is friends with dope pushers,and sex offenders. He told me homeless people are the reason why drug pushers have a job, he even went on to say that I should consider leaving this city cause it's gonna get worse for me.

  12. Am I the only one who thinks that chick cop is super HOT?! (Of corse I am a bit of a ‘badge boy’ and am married to a cop, so maybe it’s just me).
