University of Chicago police have released body cam and dash cam video of a shooting that injured a student who charged at an officer with a metal pipe. The University of Chicago student has been identified as 21-year-old Charles Thomas. Thomas is facing criminal charges in connection with the shooting, including felony aggravated assault of a peace officer and two counts of felony criminal damage to property, according to Chicago police. He is also facing two misdemeanor counts of criminal damage to property. The incident happened about 10:12 p.m. Tuesday in the 5300 block of South Kimbark Avenue in Hyde Park. University police were responding to a robbery call when they encountered Thomas carrying a long metal pipe, the university’s president and provost said in a joint statement. He was bashing car and apartment windows, police said. When officers told Thomas to drop the pipe, he refused and instead charged at one of the officers, officials said. That officer shot the student in his shoulder. The student was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and his parents were notified, the school said. Chicago police are investigating. The University of Chicago officer involved has been placed on mandatory administrative leave pending an investigation.

Perfect shot. Hit in the shoulder, incapacitated him, but didn't kill him. The uni cop should be proud of himself for dealing with the situation so effectively.
screaming
Officer: yeah he’s mental
Cop was smart shooting him right away cuz he knew taser wasn´t gonna work on this one.
He was known for his charitable donations, volunteer work at homeless shelters and screaming F you all
At 1:18 I nearly choked on my lunch I was laughing so hard 😂
last words of a dying antifi piece o crap,,
He was shot because of crimes against fashion
Self-loathing projected onto others.
He’s lucky he isn’t dead.
Wonder what his parents think? They raised a total failure of a kid. They must be so proud.
Description says he got felony aggravated assault on a peace officer, but I didn't see an assault maybe attempted cuz he ran towards the officer but he didn't actually hit the officer, unless it was something we didn't see!? If not then that seems like a bogus charge! 🤷ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ðŸ¤¬ðŸ™„
When you don't realize the cop is backing up for your protection.
Marvin the martian
Errybody tough until that Glock goes off.
They all wanna get shot until they get shot lol
Did you forget you have two forms of less lethal? He had a PIPE close range. You have pepper spray and a taser that has distance.
Uh no f**k you!
I wonder why they didn’t tase him
Harry Potter was having a rough day, it seems.
cops really laid the pipe
He shot the repeat button
And this is the core voter for Biden, Harris in Chicago, a Democrat town.
Cop almost died from being too afraid to shoot. This is how BLM kills good people.
Antifa?
It's always best when they scream like girls and die.
When LARP-ING goes horribly wrong! Looks like the Dark Knights win!!!
Thinning the herd ! …. Love it !
Backing up like that is dangerous, the officer could easily trip and fall. He shouldn’t have to do that and put himself in danger. Then he shoots in the direction of his fellow officers. Strange?
Fully committed to the cause.
whoelse loves now US COPS cause of this channel
Big tough man trying to intimidate other people, until he gets shot, then he cries like a little girl 🤣😂
Reality hit hard for him, perhaps he wasted too much time playing computer games, still think it’s a game little boy?
Antifa type without wearing his black ninja costume
Turn the camera off and shoot again
One way to get outta finals.
I thought the Cop was going to walk backwards around the block and try tiring him out.
So many people with no actual issues in life out here causing people ACTUAL mental illness by forcing this cop to shoot him, fuck these selfish “mentally ill†people he’s not mental he just does not care.
There had to be a better way to deal with this. These cops are pussies, so quick to kill. I would have bum rushed him and beat his ass with the night stick
