FWPD Officer Involved Shooting - Dec 12, 2023 - 700 N. Beach St.

[@kevinnapier8996]

It is a wonder that no passers-by were struck. This was like an old Western movie. That guy sure had a lot of ammunition. He planned on one day it going down. He was probably running on pure adrenaline until he fell on that sidewalk. Then he realized he lost a long time ago. Thank you to LE here for being courageous. I hope their families don't watch this because they may push them to change careers. It does not get any more real than this folks...

[@Urkinorobitch]

They try to only take shots without anything in the backstop.

Thank you police officers for your service to our communities! Unfortunately these criminals have no regard for anybody but themselves 🤷🏻‍♂️

If it weren’t for bullshit deescalation training, the suspect would have been detained immediately in a proper manner and not left to make an escape plan.

[@GOOBENsticks]

This dude was ready for a gun fight, regardless of officers 'immediately' detaining the guy. It would have just made him shoot earlier and closer to the officer.

As lax as judges are these days, why on earth would this guy escalate this to a running gun battle? Even if he had just surrendered rather than killing himself afterwards he prob still would have just gotten a slap on the wrist.

Nope, he was not part of the "problem culture".

The officers rendered aid? His brain was blown out there’s not much aid required.

[@ecgameplayer]

Still required to render aid until a paramedic, doctor, or judge declares him deceased. Once had to help do CPR on a guy who overdosed in his sleep beside his girlfriend, even though there's a noticeable urine stain indicating he long since passed away, still did everything in our power to save him. But yeah, even if a guy's brains are all over the sidewalk, you're expected to render aid until otherwise.

[@SG-us4gz]

@@ecgameplayerVaries from agency to agency. Some still allow officers to exercise common sense, like not doing CPR on a suspect who has his head spread all over the sidewalk.

[@josephrobinson5452]

All those shots fired and not one hit the suspect and at one point that officer shot directly behind those other two officers. I don't know if he pulled the trigger by accident or not but either way, that need to be investigated.

[@taylorgarci5632]

in what way does it need to be investigated what would you do during a active shooter incident ? go ahead and give me your non expert opinion

i see the police missed there shots i wonder if they trained on moving targets it would help after they qualify on stationary targets they could move up to walking then running would def help them

[@glpaschall]

This is MK ultra type behavior

[@pydrasparadox-uz2cq]

These officers really need to train on crossfire, effective weapon range, and knowing what's behind your target. It's amazing no civilians or officers were hit by mistake. Know where you're shooting and don't fire a handgun at a target greater than 50m away because you're not gonna hit shit.

[@St.JohnWort]

@@handled99, Are you going to ignore the clear and obvious issue with that officer that shot right between his fellow officers and the suspect, even though the suspect was way out of range and the officers in front of him were closer to the suspect anyways? 3:30 You don't have to be an officer or soldier to know that was the wrong move, and could have easily caused more harm to the police than that suspect ever did to them.

Standards. Makes it clearer to communicate if you refer to the same person the way throughout the encounter. Doesn't really make a difference what he 'technically' is or becomes.

[@rael5469]

[@timsimmons9995]

Officers show bravery but definitely need serious pre-flight cues, safety, and firearms training. They could have easily injured or killed innocent people with their hail of long range gunfire across commercial business lots, streets, sidewalks, etc. Mag dumps at a moving or concealed person 50 yards away, or danger-close to fellow officers in the line of fire, is not prudent, wise, or even legal. A citizen would be facing criminal charges here.

[@Forward_Concepts]

Things that make marksmanship difficult, movement, distance, target availability, low light....If you pull the trigger as fast as you can on a target that is bladed and running...you will miss...a lot. Positive target identification before pulling the trigger...was that an ND..?

I saw the other day that there was this company called SentinelSky that does drone stuff for police departments as the 911 call happens. I think they’re from Texas also. Why aren’t more departments using them. It probably would have been a lot safer for everyone if they just let the drone follow him. No saying the cops did anything wrong, it’s just that there are better ways now. We don’t have to do things in the same old way.

[@ovar9000umad]

Costs a lot of money, and depends if the city/city council event wants to pursue that option. It’s smart, absolutely, but if there’s money involved it’ll be scrutinized.

Suspect pulls a gun cops pulls a taser, 4 cops shoot 50 rds and not on shot hits him

[@St.JohnWort]

There isn't any proof that the suspect wasn't hit. He wobbled and tripped over a storm drain before he shot himself, that indicates he was hit and the adrenaline was wearing off at that moment.
