Houston police responded to a call of an intoxicated man causing a disturbance on May 3. When police arrived on the scene, 46-year-old Edgar De Leon went on an expletive filled rant toward officers and threatened to shoot them with his “glock.” After two failed attempts at tasing him and fearing for his safety, an officer shot Deleon. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the story minute-by-minute.

Really poor skills from the officers. Terrible communications from the one officer in particular. Telling someone like this they’re “acting like a child†is obviously not helpful. Poor use of force too. Taser thrown on the floor. Could have given CS/pepper spray ago early on. The first officer made life a lot harder for the second as well.
This video is so doctored. The man made the threat, they overreacted rather than under react. Both sides appear to be wrong but then again would there have been a right way?
Domestics are insanely dangerous for officers and I am not sure what I would do.
I have only dealt with that aggression in a hospital setting and we use very different interventions of course…
My OCD needs to have a serious discussion with the owner of this house
Edgar suffered from a twitch where he would tug at the bottom of his shorts when nervous.
gutless reporting
These little boys, are just as bad as the lady cops… … scared of their own shadows!
Cry me a river.
One if the things i noticed in a lot if these videos is the police are way to relaxed and unprofessional in their conversation with folks…bro, yo…all the tattoos image wise…like the standards have dropped
I'm so sorry for the brother who tried to do the right thing. Then the two most goofy ahh cops imaginable arrived at the scene and started with all that "COME AT ME BRO" attitude, escalating the whole situation from the very first second…
Y’all should be more respectful, coming from someone who knows the family and his wife
Edgar without an Edgar is crazy 😂
The state of that home is just shameful.
He died in his parent's kitchen. Just messed up situation allaround.
The house is an absolute mess. Good indication of mental issues of occupant.
They should go to jail not leave
Wish they went straight to tasers when he came to the front door. But i guess there is regulatory reasons not to.
this is all just fake it's on the TV it was part of a movie come on nobody acts like this in real life 😅
I dont think to plausible to shoot even after being threatened. We didnt see the auspect with a qeapon so it was a closed faced threat. They could have double tased or something
I like how the cop said come here
He threatens to shoot them in the face then says he doesnt want to die after getting shot. Like, huh? What a guy.
Why MULTIPLE shots ?
There is no situation that two uneducated armed clowns can't make worse……
Why are they blurring the brother’s hand?
In the emergency kit in my car, in addition to a tow strap and shovel and flares, I also keep a little stuffed teddy bear to hand to a child if there is ever a tragic accident. Words sometimes fail. It seems like there is occasionally a complete failure to at least try to RELATE to the little bit of remaining rational behavior that might exist in the mind of someone who is in deep distress. Some of these "worst cases" that invariably tend to appear to always end up being tragic endings seem to me like they might respond well to a COLD BEER or a CIGARETTE or a small BOTTLE OF BOURBON if offered casually and earnestly way before escalation occurs, and it wouldn't cost anything to try it. "Hey Buddy, here's a cold beer, will that help?" ðŸÂºðŸÂº – j q t –
The dude was unstable This was just a matter of time.
That officer completely sucked when it came to communication with the man who was obviously having a mental crisis. He did nothing but aggravate the mans instability
This was so uncalled for !!
This is what happens when you buy shorts that don't fit right. Dude was frustrated by the constant slippage, and now he's dead.
What's with him grabbing at his shorts?
This keeps happening
I wish the media would show full videos of things like to me it feels like censorship
He could be on Cops and Hoarders. What a dump!
They were sent there to help….they are not able to send extra help for a guy that's not in his right mind….👠😮 good job 👠👠👌 i see way they not respected..
Poor guy! By all the clutter in his home, one would conclude that he has had severe problems for quite some time. I can't blame the cops; they did their job. Whoever might have known about the mental state of this man and yet hasn't done anything – that's the person who has the biggest fault in the entire tragedy.
that's why stop drinking.

The officers should be charged
Those cops ne to be retrained or dismissed.
The cop that kept calling him Bro was just egging him on. He had already decided how it was going to go when he told the guy it didn't have to go that way.
So they go there cause they worried about him hurting himself and shoot him in his own home when a Taser could've been deployed.
Family does not call police on family bar non .. if it has to be done you have someonelse call
1 cop only trained to say bro n the other tried to de escalate could have went better
Is that a house or a storage unit😂
Why did the cops enter his house? They should've just left they knew he was drunk….. And for the cops to keep walking in and cornering him…. obviously if you corner the guy he's gonna trip but that's what they want.. trigger happy cops nowadays…
Yeah, ok, nobody knows who pulled the trigger…somehow…
I understand the man threatened them with a gun but at that moment he was nowhere near the gun they just shot him immediately. They could be charged
Why are these homes always so messy, smdh you live like that and thats what happens
Those pool noodles being mismatched where they continue on the other side of the horizontal bar are really messing with my OCD 😂
lets be honest,the police also escalated the situation knowing that he had been drinking
