All of you supposed "oathkeepers" and your "one bad apple" line every time one of you gets caught fucking up,all you do is intimidate citizens, and bully whomever the politicians tell you to. You are nothing but state thugs, with guns and chains. We have seen you do what you were told, time and again. Let the riots burn in L.A., confiscate guns illegally in Katrina, beat people to DEATH like Kelly Thomas. A bullet in the face is better than any of you deserve.

That's all fine and good.

But how do you REALLY feel?

They gave that son of a bitch 16 minutes too much time, I would have head shot that fucker with in the first 60 seconds.

The dude got what he deserved. Case closed. You can't fix stupid!

Never felt a mix of such joy at the piece of shit loud mouth getting shot and such sadness at the poor dog.

[ericcomp]

Yeah, the cops gave him every chance to drop his "gun" and he didn't take any of them. I'm sadden by the death of the dog. To be honest I was tearing up when the (assumed) K9 Handler picked his own dog up and carried him off. RIP dog.

In this case they also killed the police K9 dog who ran towards the suspect as he was being pierced by dozens of bullets. If you’re not a big fan of the pigs, this video is gonna upset you even more.

Here’s a thing – the suspect in the video appears to fear the dogs and was begging the police to take them away.

There’s a lot of barking and screaming in the video, but you can clearly hear the plea that he was drop the weapon and surrender but he was scared of the dogs and wanted them gone and also wanted some deal with calling his girlfriend which is not important to make my point – the police showed zero people’s skills.

The suspect wanted to meet them halfway and be done with it without bloodshed.

All he got in return was yell from the cops outside of the video of the camera who kept repeating their broken record “put your gun down” bullshit.

I understand the cops risk their lives doing their jobs and this man was obviously a criminal and was armed and dangerous, but they still did not evaluate the situation correctly and kept yelling at him despite his will to make a plea that would end it without any bullets fired.

Then the shot is fired (not sure if that was an accident or what), the suspect disarms instantly by tossing a weapon down and once disarmed, he’s repeatedly shot at by the cops in frenzy.

Frenzied K9 comes running towards the suspect and gets killed too. The sound seems out of sync with the video towards the end of the footage, so it’s hard to tell whether the first shot was fired prior to suspect disarming or whether it followed the gun toss.

One of my theories is that since K9 was close to him, maybe the police released the dog, realizing the suspect was scared shitless of dogs, the suspect saw gnawing German Shepherd charging towards him, pissed his pants and tossed the gun not knowing what to do, the police saw the suspect voluntarily disarmed and opened fire at him.

Based on the fact that K9 was basically almost there when the shots were fired, I’m guessing he was released on purpose and that’s what triggered the gun toss and the gun toss triggered trigger happy cops to repeatedly pull their triggers.

Again, the suspect was obviously a criminal and clearly has done something bad. Still, in my opinion the police did not handle the standoff well and needlessly killed the guy.

You can assume that killing the guy was the rush for the day for these cops anyway. After he was shot, none of the cops bothered to come and see if he could be helped.

He was still moving a bit after he dropped to the ground, but none of the cops bothered to see if his life could be saved.

They just left him there to die. It was clearly their plan to kill the guy. They may have been waiting for an opportunity to kill someone and get away with it and this seemed like the time to do it. You know – there’s a crook who’s armed.

We kill him, we get away cause he was a bad guy and had a gun. How could that possibly could turn against us, right? So there you have it – he would have died one way or another.

The cops have decided so and executed the decision as planned. Death by Cop at its finest.

Okay, I read your discription fully and was then quite suprised when I watched the full video. IMO your description isn't quite accurate. He was antagonisic throughout the entire film and dared the police to shoot him and release the dog. He said he was "on the run for 2 years for murder". You may not know the circumstances of his previous conviction. Who is to say that the crime he commited wasn't utterly deplorable, violent and heinous, inflicting prolonged suffering and torture against his victim? We don't know that this chap wasn't unpredictable, extremely volitile and a serious danger to others. I may have misunderstood some of the dialogue but didn't he go as far to say that he had recently hurt Fonda or maybe her mother- hence the hospital visit? Who knows what he really wanted to say to her?
Also he was adamant that he spoke to her before he gave up, when it's perfectly plausable to imagine that he could have been afforded he right to speak to her following his re-capture from behind bars. What difference would it have made? So I think the police could only conclude from this that there was a real possibility that he had no intention of being taken alive. He says several times something along the lines of that he can't fathom spending the rest of his life in prison.
Also, I imagine they would have considered the fact that as he evaded his prison sentence for so long, the nature of his original conviction, the circumstances which led to the police finding him (did he commit another crime that drew their attention to his location? I'm not sure but it seems a reasonable assumption to me) and his calculated but not quite successful attempts to manipulate the stand off and it's outcome with the Police by playing on the proceedural constraints under which they operate i.e. hiding his gun so that I assume he would prevent any probable cause allowing them to open fire.
Whilst I agree that the chap and the "Watch Commander" had a bit of a mutually clumsy dialogue going, I think this criminal knew he wasn't getting away from this situation and tried (and failed) to exert control till his very last moment. I don't see how this situation could have ended in any other way for him. I think it's blatantly clear that he knew he was going down, had absolutely no remorse for any of his actions leading up to this stand off and fully intented to attempt at best to take a couple of officers down with him.
Ironically, to me he looked like he ended his life with regret crouched in a pair of piss soaked pants, thinking "Oh shit, wait... actually maybe this isn't such a.."
The video we saw was just over 20 minutes, who knows how long it was going on before that and how much manpower and time the emergency services spent processing the scene in the aftermath. I'm suprised they didn't end it sooner TBH, with such a transparent course of action I would have taken him down after 10 minutes and would have enjoyed the remaining time playing frisbee with the K-9 in the park.
I'm in no way an advocate of the Police, and I do recognise that the real level of how many unreported incidents of Police corruption there are would likely make us all want to shit in shock. But I just highly doubt that they turned up at the scene, took a look at the criminal and thought "Well shit, Last night's episode of "Keeping up with the Kardashians" didn't excite me like it usually does... I bet I could get my rocks off if I shoot that cunt in the face.." Although not impossible, It's just highly implausable to me.
The Police that were there obviously lacked even basic inter-team communication which lead to the dog getting shot as well which is tragic in itself, poor bugger.
On a different matter, wouldn't it be HILARIOUS if Fonda's baby turned out to have an uncanny likeness to the Milkman...

The only part I care about is that the poor dog died. It had more sense as a young dog than that fine example of an African American male finn ta bust dem pigs.

[rusa]

THERE IS NOOOOOO SHOOTING !!!!
WHERE IS THE VIDEO WITH THE SHOOTING ????

[tomspackers]

Lmao everyone talking about trigger happy cops , the dude was talking shit about how he had a gun and would shoot at them if they let the k9 go tell me how else do you disarm a guy like that only thing sad is the dog died one more pos of the streets
