It's too bad that the dipshit parents of all of these anti-cop fucktards that are full of vast amounts of wisdom regarding how to do the job and deal with other idiots in this fine world, didn't have to take some type of test before they reproduced. Otherwise, we would have fewer of these douche nozzles sucking up oxygen. FUCK THAT GUY, HE WAS TOO STUPID TO LIVE!!! AND FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO NEVER HESITATE TO BASH COPS, BUT FAIL TO HAVE THE BALLS TO GO DO A BETTER JOB OF STANDING A POST!!!

I hope that all those who agreed that the cops are correct in this case, will suddenly see themselves being shot down by these cops when they reach inside their jacket for an I.D. card. Hope they think you are reaching and shoot you first and ask questions later. you will not be mad with that protocol will you?

Most cops are nothing but bullies and thieves in government uniform. Although i've some many decent ones and good ones, the good ones will never be a quarter in number compared to those bad ones. not to mention the unfit ones who makes additional embarrassment to the uniform.

I thought when you sign up to become a police officer you accept risking your life as part of the job? If you're going to shoot everything right away where is the risk? Don't want the risk? Better find another job.

Once again, i ask..

Why not just shoot him in the fucking leg? Its a hammer for fuck sake.

Lesson: If a police officer with a gun tells you to drop your weapon, drop your damn weapon or get shot. Wanna learn what it's like in a dangerous situation like this, contact your local police to see if they have a situation simulator you can try. Guarranty you'll shoot in every situation. Not an easy job.

They have to blast each encounter to kingdom come. They can't fire one shot and risk getting their PD sued. It's much less bureaucracy to deal with if your dead. Loop holes, the American way.

At least the guy had the decency to fall on the plastic. Also, that cop did not have to perform CPR. He could have just waited for EMS. Not saying anything is right or wrong, but he still tried.

Friday, the department released body camera video of the shooting, as the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation investigates.

Tahlequah Police Chief Nate King said officers shot Dominic Rollice six times when he refused to put down a hammer in his ex-wife's garage.

Two officers fired shots 52 seconds after they started talking to Rollice.

Lieutenant Brandon Vick, Officer Josh Girdner and Officer Chase Reed went to the Tahlequah home after getting a call from Rollice's ex-wife, Joy.

Dispatch: “Tahlequah police department.”
Caller: “Hey, can I get somebody to come over to my house? My ex-husband is in the garage. He will not leave. He's drunk and it's gonna get ugly real quick."

King said officers tried to pat down Rollice, but he refused and walked to a workbench in the garage.

"Mr. Rollice reached for a hammer and all three officers heard him say, 'One of us is going to die tonight,’" King said.

In the video, you can hear officers order Rollice to drop the hammer several times, but he refuses.

Then, Reed lets the other officers know he was going to use his Taser. Ten seconds later, Rollice appears ready to throw the hammer.

That's when police say Girdner and Vick fired five rounds in about one second, the same time the Taser went off. Girdner fired one more shot later.

Reed performed CPR for eight minutes. Rollice died at a hospital.

Rollice was serving a suspended sentence for a 2015 child sexual abuse charge.

King said, "It brought tears to my eyes to see how Officer Reed stayed poised, stayed compassionate to a man who had just threatened to kill our officers, or basically made the threat that someone was going to die."

The three officers involved are on paid administrative leave while they undergo psychological evaluations and OSBI completes its investigation.

The police chief said the last fatal officer-involved shooting in Tahlequah was in June of last year. The one before that, he said, happened before he was born.

really cuff somone unconscious. The cops are smart guys

The sheer flood of armchair Pattons who somehow are experts of the use-of-force continuum, police tactics, and American homicide law is just astounding.

"Get on the ground!" *Falls over limp because he's been shot 7 times.... "Ok guys good job!" Why in the fuck would they shoot him so many times? Why not use a less lethal method? I mean really.....he had a fucking hammer...whats he going to do take all 3 officers out with his hammer while theyre all armed? They could have shot him in the legs or something...I dont get why they all opened up on him when he wasnt even close to them with that hammer.
