Some of you are probably wondering what happened with the video I posted a couple of weeks ago on this incident. That would be understandable, considering that not long after the video went live and had thousands of views I took it down without any warning or explanation.
So, what gives?
The answer is long and I don’t want it to take away from this video. If you are interested, you can read about it on Patreon: http://tiny.cc/lakemoor. (Summary: I brought someone on part-time to ease my workload… and they didn’t do the one and only job I assigned them.)
This video offers a rarely-seen window into the experience of an officer in the immediate aftermath of an officer-involved shooting.
About this video:
On July 23, 2018, Kenneth Martell tied, robbed, beat, and stabbed to death 88-year-old Theodore Garver in his Beaver Township home in Pennsylvania. After the murder, Kenneth Martell abducted other individuals at gunpoint and forced them to aid Martell in the disposal of the manΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’s body. Martell eventually dumped the body in a lake near GarverΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’s residence.
A warrant for murder was issued for the arrest of Kenneth Martell, and that warrant was pending on July 26, 2018 when Martell was shot and killed by Lakemoor Police. This video presents all of the body worn camera footage from the shooting officer, including the vast majority of his experience following the shooting.
Family members of Martell would later recount to police his abuse of illegal drugs including methamphetamine. Martell had made statements to friends and family that ΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬Γβ¦Γ’β¬Εcops were going to kill him over a drug bustΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓβΓΒ and that he was ΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬Γβ¦Γ’β¬Εnot going down without a fight.ΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓβΓΒ
Extensive further information can be found at the end of the video.

Dude said " shots fired" like well ddnt wanna do this today but here we are. I cud hear the frustration…
That officer is tough as nails. After I got out of the Air Force I considered continuing a career in Law Enforcement in Civilian society in WA . But with two young children I decided against it. For reasons just like this. Most people have no respect for the police. I have the upmost respect for our Police Force who put themselves in harms way every day.
Hay what happened to the video of the drunk girl who fell asleep in her vehicle at a gas station
1:53 damn suspect didn't even know what hit him; you can see the suspect's left leg twitching as the male cop opens the door.
Damn, it would have been bad had backup arrived just a minute later than he did. if she would have been shot / killed and him knowing he was seconds away; that would have hit hard.
my favorite title
Why is everyone one SO concerned about the male officer?? It was the female officer who has 2 guns stuck in her face and was screaming for her life…
'I love the smell of realism in the morning', with Zero b/s media coverage-pure realism, so refreshing ay?
14.16 'Good shot dude' – my fav comment.
Now thatΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’s dead
SheΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’s lucky the gun he pulled wasnΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’t loaded or it was game over for her.
ΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬Γβ¦Γ’β¬ΕAny physical descriptions on that maleΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓβΓΒ
ΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬Γβ¦Γ’β¬ΕWellll heΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’s got a hole in his head if that countsΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓβΓΒ
1:14 best part ΓΖΓΒ°Γβ¦ΓΒΈΓβΉΓ βΓΒ’Γ’β¬à ‘
Lol the guy was free kill
Thank God she had backup
Cop shook up for having to shoot him. Feel bad for him but he had to save her life and killed a murderer
God job officer, god job sir…
When seconds count, police are only mins away
Deserves a medal hero copΓΖΓΒ°Γβ¦ΓΒΈΓΒ’Γ’βΒ¬ΓΒ‘ΓβΓΒΊΓΖΓΒ°Γβ¦ΓΒΈΓΒ’Γ’βΒ¬ΓΒ‘ΓβΓΒΈ
Crazy how she was literally about to get her head blown off but is 10 times more chilled than the other officer
Why does the video start after shooting?
The male cop sounds fat as hell, hit the gym seriously! I thought cops were supposed to be fit
So she didn't run the tags (wanted for felony) and approached the vehicle. She needs to find another job.
Ok trainee, when the bad guy points the gun at you, you grab it and scream, "DON'T SHOOT ME!"
Oh wow she's lucky.
This guy is taking all the bows, but it was her that grabbed his gun and fought with him.
Looks like the guy leaned forward then grabbed his face after the shot. Bet he was thinking man i fucked up
That thump his head makes when the officer pulled him forward and it hit the steering wheel lol. 5:29
Not one for violence but he got what was coming to him
Did anyone hear a thank you from her?
A+ shooting, one shot one kill
ANYONE ELSE THINKING THAT LADIES LIKE THIS FEMALE OFFICER WAS NOT EQUIPPED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY ENOGH FOR THE JOB.. she prob would have died not for the other officer… thank God cause these female officers are a JOKE
Guaranteed they both went home and cried. ΓΖΓΒ°Γβ¦ΓΒΈΓΒ’Γ’β¬ÒβΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’βΒ¬ΓΒ’
drop the gun, BOOM
DONE
That's what we call a one tap
It's not attempted it's just a threat. She could've been shot right away but even in the video you can hear the bad guy saying okay so please back up as the officer begging for her life.
Bravo ΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ ce policier. C'est un excellent policier avec beaucoup de sang-froid. Il n'a tirΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ© qu'un seul coup au lieu de vider son arme sur le suspect, ΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ§a nous change des salopards de flics criminels qui vident leur chargeur sur des types qui lΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ¨vent les mains et parfois mΓΖΓβΓβΓΒͺme sur des enfants. Sa collΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ¨gue a vite rΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ©agi en bloquant les mains du suspect. Bravo ΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ vous officiers.
Heros in BLUE. IΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’m glad youΓΖΓΒ’ΓΒ’Γ’β¬Ε‘ΓΒ¬ΓΒ’Γ’β¬ΕΎΓΒ’re there.
Never approach to suspect as if he's family.
Waooo ese policΓΖΓβΓβΓΒa hizo lo correct him hΓΖΓβΓβΓΒ©roe
Waoo thanks God and him arrive exactly time
Just by watching the video I have more adrenaline in my body than I would have when I flossed a unicycle over the Grandcanion … "ohhh just realx …"
Kind of weird how we never get to see the officer that shot the guy. I had to look it up myself. Just makes this whole video more interesting.
Not even a double tap – very impressive and clinical.
Great job but what took so long other backup come wow
