Clovis PD Press Conference - Officer Involved Shooting - July 2022

[@203_Boy]

Well made video ! I could watch bodycam footage all day.

[@keres993]

Indeed, the production value is great. Only thing I can think of that would have made it better is syncing and stitching all the bodycams together into one video at the end. But that's gravy at this point :)

[@Chicofrankthetank]

Great job LEO’s… bad dude was on a mission that nobody could have talked him out of. 🙏 Glad citizens and officers are ok.

[@MichaelSmith-xs4wp]

The Public Information Officer is possibly the worst spokesman in history; like he doesn't want to be doing his job and it shows.

[@alykar27]

Glad no Officers were hurt in this. Sad that idiots as such cannot control their own issues and have to drag them into it. Blessed are the Peacemakers and I pray for their well being and mental health. God bless and great job Clovis PD.

[@rustyshackleford1877]

15 rounds is high capacity?

[@joshmajor8662]

Well done!!!

[@bewise2297]

You mean Standard Capacity Magazine. It’s in common uses even in your department. The Supreme Court has made this Clear. HISTORY, TRADITION !🇺🇸

[@seanberthiaume6909]

A 30 round mag in an AR is STANDARD CAPACITY!

[@javiertorres-bb8lf]

Clovis WHERE? There is a Clovis, N.M.

[@Miss5250]

Why don't the Cops ACTIVATE their BWC video when they CONFIRM to DISPATCH that they are "En Route"? 30 Rounds - 2 Bullets were RECOVERED from Residential Homes.

[@BootsEditor11]

Failed at SBC. Now he’ll have years to ponder his foolishness.

[@jdjackson7317]

Thank god no one was hurt or killed during this violent incident.

[@Chancentrane]

Wait, what was the original crime that justified a response in the first place? Being suicidal and communicating such isn’t a crime, so why didn’t the officers simply NOT RESPOND?

[@holden4264]

Being suicidal and claiming you’re going to kill yourself is grounds for IVC. Where police will come find you, detain you for your safety and take you to a hospital or mental institution for evaluation. The original crime reported was a domestic disturbance. Which escalated into the man calling his fiancé claiming he was coming back to get his guns and that he was going to “shoot it out” with the police. Which is a crime to say.

[@Chancentrane]

@@holden4264 you’re referring to your own state law, there’s no such thing as “IVC” in New Mexico. A nice attempt, though!

[@holden4264]

@@Chancentrane Not true. The DA can file a petition for an IVC in the State of New Mexico.

[@Chancentrane]

@@holden4264 wrong, no such thing as “IVC” in NM law. A NM officer can detain someone they think is a threat to others, but it’s still not a CRIME. Meaning my original point remains true, that no crime was committed, and that cops LOVE to execute people experiencing mental illness (an undeniable fact). If you’re not wrong, why did you delete your comment? 😬

[@holden4264]

@@Chancentrane 1. I’m not wrong. 2. My comment is still there. 3. Yes, there is a such thing as an involuntary commitment in New Mexico. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@martinedwards4522]

thank the media?... not something we hear anymore as they truly deserve NO thanks

[@donaldellis8116]

Ghost gun? Please explain! Because it is and always has been legal for legal citizens to build their own firearms. WOW, dude fired 3 rounds and took 30, huh rah! Oh wait, that doesn’t look like California compliant AR! Rrrrrrrright, the police aren’t infringed upon! My bad!

[@mikeherrmann5360]

OK THEN ... JUST LIKE BUGGER KING... YOUR WAY RITE AWAY!!!

[@seanberthiaume6909]

[@royarchibald6392]

He was able to transmit on the police frequency because he was using a piece of crap chinese radio that was manufactured to transmit basically anywhere in the vhf/uhf range.

[@KHugg1776]

This Police Chief may be a great officer and a good guy, but he is no Grady Judd

[@cavemanlovesmoke4394]

Hmmm

[@dan111509]

The audio delay is so cops can warn other corrupt cops they are recording no other reason to have a delay

[@xblackdogrunsx]

the audio delay is because its not recording audio until they press the button

[@kden1271]

15 round "high capacity" magazine? And "ghost gun" Wtf

[@dan111509]

"We don't want to do that" every cop on scene shoots one guy

[@ABH3DAD]

I am all for the "good" shootings, but this one has me asking questions such as.., If he exited the car pointing the gun at officer then why is he in the fetal position with both the firearm and police radio behind him? in relation to the bad guys car his body is facing north the responding officers came up on the east of the car ,north east and south east. but yet the guy body is facing north the gun and radio is behind him. if he pointed the gun at an officer then it would not have fell that many meters behind him, also the officer that made contact at the north east was the second officer there... the last officer arriving came from south east and the first officer came from east

[@timrobinson6573]

You almost had it. You correctly identified his weapon as a privately manufactured weapon but then you had to throw in the scary propaganda; Ghost Gun oooOOOooo BOO!

[@ClovisPolice_CA]

Hi Tim. While it’s privately manufactured, the term “ghost gun” is used when there is no serial number. There was no serial number, hence it was considered an illegal firearm.

[@waynehearst317]

This guy might be more clever than you give credit for. He actually didn't commit any crime other than talking on a police frequency. Everything else was lip service, all talk...he never fired a shot. Probably didn't brandish the gun either, had it on him but held up the radio. Basically, he was lit up by the police based on verbal threats. Watch how this plays out in court, he'll be out of jail with a paycheck from Clovis PD in 6 months.

[@theoneandonly2590]

terroristic threat, made threats for a shootout, came out with his firearm/ pointed it at them, didn't listen to commands. Due to the exigence/ severity of this situation they took necessary and lawful action. He won't get any money and will do time lol

[@bobg1685]

No, this is a good shoot. He made clear his intentions and conducted a behavior that warranted a respons. In six months he'll still be in jail.

[@Nohomiskis]

@@theoneandonly2590 isn’t it funny these guys relate to someone who talked shit and got fucked.

[@Chancentrane]

This is correct. The officers were responding to a scary guy, not criminal conduct. In order to justify a code response (lights/sirens) much less a lethal force, they’re going to need a crime. If “terroristic threats” were made, the chief would be serving that up as justification, but he was unable to do so, because no threats were ever made. This guy communicated that he’s a danger to himself, but that’s about it (not a crime). Unfortunately for the local taxpayers, he’s entitled to a MASSIVE financial settlement for the constitutional violations he endured.

[@kden1271]

Why didn't he say the cop had a high capacity magazine his held more bullets? ....... oh yeah control of the public
