SAND SPRINGS — An officer who shot and killed a man with a history of mental illness on Saturday followed proper procedure in what the assistant police chief said was a "tragic incident," the city's Deputy Police Chief said

"There are no winners here," Mike Carter said during a Monday news conference. "This is a tragedy."

Carter said Sand Springs officer Brian Barnett, 25, killed Donald W. Allen, 66, after Allen made threatening statements while approaching Barnett with a loaded .22-caliber pistol.

Allen, according to a phone call his wife had with police, had a paranoid schizophrenia diagnosis, and Carter said he had been detained for mental health reasons in the past.

I think we need to see more videos like this, and I don't mean from the death perspective.

I mean videos of cops being professional, acting appropriately in the situation, doing their jobs to the best of their ability. Within seconds of this person being shot, they were straight into what first-aid they could manage. The conversation between them all is respectful and professional. It's a sad situation, one that frankly came to an appropriate end given the nature of the person threatening the police, but that end isn't celebrated.

Maybe if we were seeing the real proportion of cops being professional Vs the corrupt pigs, we wouldn't bear so much animosity towards police in general.

White man WITH gun coming towards a cop gets shot 4 times and the cop breaks out a first aid kit, black man unarmed running away from cop gets 8 shots to the back and handcuffed while dying. Good to see those color barriers don't exist anymore!!!

In all fairness, they did handcuff the white guy too.

Life's a cunt, not everyone is the same, this video proves that compassion still exists in law enforcement, I doubt his actions would've been any different in another situation, you wouldn't understand this unless you've been in this situation yourself.

Yes compassion still exists as long as the suspect is white. And yes life is in fact a cunt, usually a racist cunt.
