Suicide By Cop
As a man holding two knives briskly advanced toward him, a Wellington, Carbon County, police officer retreated with his gun drawn. “Put the knife down. I don’t want to shoot you, but I will,” officer Garrett Safely yells as "BRD" continues to walk toward him. “Put it down, man. It ain’t worth it,” the officer yells. Moments later, as "BRD" continues to advance, the officer fires at least six shots, killing him. “Hey man, what’s going on? Sir. "BRD" . Hey man, talk to me. What’s going on?” Safely calls out in the video. But "BRD" does not move or respond. “He’s got a knife in each hand. He’s not listening to commands,” the officer tells dispatchers. Safely tells "BRD" that he just saw him in court and asks him again to put the knives down. “Hey man, put the knives down and let’s have a conversation. This doesn’t have to be bad,” he said. "BRD" then turns and faces the officer and holds the knives out to his side, one in each hand. “Just put it down man, it ain’t worth it bro,” Safely repeats. A dispatcher can be heard on the officer’s police radio that she has received information that "BRD" wants to commit “suicide by cop.” As Safely tells Duckworth, “You didn’t do this in court today,” "BRD" can be heard responding something about “it’s been an ongoing (inaudible),” “Then let’s fix it. This isn’t the right way, bro. This is not the right way man. I want to help you out. This is not OK,” Safely tells him. “I can’t do this anymore,” "BRD" responds. “What can’t you do?” “Any of it.” “What’s the plan here, man? What’s your end goal? I’m not going to shoot you, if that’s what you want. That’s the last thing we want to do, brother. We want to help you. What’s going on? Is it the court stuff?” Safely asks as he continues to try and get "BRD" to drop the knives. But that’s when "BRD" begins walking in a hurried motion down into the ditch that separated the two men, and up to the officer’s side. Safely immediately draws his gun and repeats several times to drop the knives. Safely steps over a fence and starts retreating to the railroad tracks. About 25 seconds after "BRD" first started walking toward the officer, he is shot multiple times just as he reaches the tracks. In the video, Safely continues to hold him at gunpoint, demanding that "BRD" show his hands, which are hidden under the front part of his body. But "BRD" does not move as Safely waits for backup. When more officers arrive, they are able to retrieve two knives from underneath "BRD’s" lifeless body, and confirm he has no pulse. The shooting was investigated by a multiagency team fronted by the Carbon County Sheriff’s Office. Their investigation was turned over to the Carbon County Attorney’s Office, which determined the use of deadly force was legally justified. According to Carbon County Attorney Jeremiah Humes’ letter clearing Safely, "BRD" advanced on the officer in an “aggressive” manner, and “no cover was available to officer Safely and further backward retreat on uneven loose gravel with trip hazards increased the danger to the officer. “He acted promptly and lawfully,” Humes wrote. |

Re: Suicide By Cop
Yes Oswald - like Christmas, the idiots are coming, and this is what they'll say. It's hard to believe that any rational reasonable member of the community, regardless of color, creed, ethnicity, religion or political affiliation - could view this footage, read this transcript, know the emerging background to this shooting ..... and STILL believe the police officer had any other tactical choice to make. So go ahead, get your candles out, start your vigils, unfurl the Black Lives Matter banners you keep stored in the car boot ...... and then start telling us all about what should have happened in the "alternate universe" you all live in. That unfortunate man made his choice - and the police officer in this case had no other choice to make. I see a power imbalance right there in that statement - and it isn't favoring the police officer - who ..... all together now .......... HAD NO FUCKING CHOICE. |

Re: Suicide By Cop
I feel bad for the officer, for he didn't want to do it, but had no choice. As a result, he has to live the rest of his life with the guilt and residual trauma.
