this is the weirdest weapon ive ever seen someone use
I dont think thats a bed frame THAT WAS A GIANT GUN WITH A MOUNT
I get the officers did a wonderful job the de-escalating the situation really they did, but a bed frame… The taser is standard issue so highly likely one of the other officers had one. But a bed frame doesn't require 3 9mm rounds. He was dealing with a mental issues with a bed frame.
LA POLICÍA QUE REQUERIMOS EJ MEXICO
Those cops are pussies 🤣🤣 I've literally fought peopel with bats and large metal pole and was able take them down with no problem, a lot of cops can't fight worth a lick and hide behind their guns..pussies!
This is one of those shootings where everything that could have been done was. No possible excuse from the victims family to milk any money out of the state.
That was handled very very well. Good job guys.
hope the bedframe's fine.
They should have just filled the room with pepper spray. Weenie cops
That was textbook. Tried non lethal and de-escalation first.
I tohught homie had a rpg at first
Why are we paying people to shoot guys with bed frames?
I’m not saying I’m a genius. However , Imagine if we sent everyone with a low iq or people with severe mental health problems to California with the rest of them, and the rest of us can be more civilized.
Kanye, is that you?
Why do they (police officers) say just come talk to us your not in trouble knowing when you come talk their taking you to jail? I feel that's why people don't just come and talk because they know 🤷🏾♂️
Poor officers cant stop somebody with a metal frame. Get some training
This department did an amazing job- prayers for all
There are so many people these days that want cops to shoot them really badly, aren't there? 🤦♂
It goes to show, don't bring a bed frame to a gun fight.
Thanks cop for protecting the bed from further damage!
Were is this nut from.
Don’t do drugs
I think the guy was 'FRAMED' and should not have been Tased and Shot ! Why the nerve of those cops !
Should raise the rent and take welfare away.
tazers don't seem to work as well as they did a couple of years ago. perps seem to be able to ignore them more often than not
Weird.
They made sure he was safe all right, he is absolutely safe now 100%.
Bullets de-scale fastly any situation.
Justified
Absolutely no need to fire shots. Unbelievable, another unnecessary shooting. Idiots. Guy just wants help. Another taser would of been sufficient.
Booba
So if the cops would have just left and waited him out, who would have been hurt?
Look at how narrow that hallway is, tactically the officers had all the advantage to take him down with minimal force
Instead another human being put down like a dog for acting out.
Ok so in the previous video, a guy and his son facing assault charges after a homeless guy punches the wife/mom in the face BUT, police can shoot a guy for making threats and holding a bed frame. smfh.
We really need to have bed frame control
These Policemen face this stuff everyday. God bless them 🙏🙏🙏
