As a Veteran I see another video of absolutely terrible situational and tactical awareness. Was this guy a danger? Yes. The "cover" story of homes nearby and a daycare doesn't hold water after their "official" explanation. They claim if he shot himself with a sub-sonic .45 acp round it, might endanger bystanders. So they shoot 5 times; in the same direction they claim to worry about, with a .556/.223 round @ 3200 fps. That is dumb IMO as is having a shouldered rifleman walking point position on a suspect at close range in a highly populated area to begin with.

[@rse4379]

Agree. They have non lethal options. They also had the numbers. Just beyond the suspect was a person in a front yard directly within line of sight.

[@j.settle6448]

Ummm...as a veteran and a veteran LEO,I would think you should know that a 5.56 will fragment and is less likely to over penetrate less than most any pistol round!

[@cg1288]

@J. Settle Oh I know about the tumble effect indicative of the round. Read what I said again. It's was a .45acp vs a 5.56/.223 round. You also have the "miss" factor which I didn't mention in an urban environment. Are both rounds likely to still be able to kill if you miss the suspect? Yes, but the super-sonic round is more apt to do so even if it penetrates several walls at a far greater distance. I wasn't trying to start an argument with anyone. But if I had to, for some reason, stand behind a person being shot by a firing squad(hypothetical scenario). I think I would take my chances with the .45.

[@Localjadedealer]

@@j.settle6448 556 will fragment but is 100% deadly even through a wall, person, or especially a window. To top it off a lot of departments have switched up to heavy grain 556 which runs better in the 10,11, 14 inch rifles.

These cops are held to impossible standards. This is not Law and Order. We cant write the outcome we want. The streets are filled with unstable people like this who are often armed and unpredictable. Before i met my wife she was beaten almost to death by a homeless guy for making eye contact with him. The same man had been arrested and released for this same offense previously. At trial the judge stated the man was calm enough to appear at trial, was obviously back on medication and could thus be released without prison time. That is not an isolated example. Prosecutors today who are almost exclusively democrat in democrat run cities do not prosecute violent crime. Instead they persecute the cops who are forced to re arrest the same violent people over and over. This is why most cities are thousands of officers short. Nobody wants to take a thankless job where they are scrutinized and investigated more than the repeat offenders who are destroying these comunities.

[@SeekingHisWill78]

Having never heard of this incident before, and this video being the only information I have readily available, with these caveats in mind, I believe that in what I'll call the parking lot scene there is reasonable doubt that the cops were not justified in using force and thus they should be acquitted if tried. However, I also believe that the parents may very well have a litigable claim for negligence insofar as law enforcement officers are seen and heard on their own body cameras permitting their son to leave while armed with a deadly weapon. That was a situation that should have been dealt with in the backyard scene. So Cops 1 Parents 1?

There is no forthcoming indictment from the Ada County Grand Jury. The civil suit will be shown to be groundless and it will fail. This is Idaho and the parents were aware of the possible outcomes.

The use of deadly force is when deadly force is applied to you. This guy did not point the gun towards them.

These cops F’ed up big time.

[@unnamed_channel]

" I’m not a lawyer" Well, that much is obvious. :) "probable calls" It's "probable cause", but all they actually need is RAS (a lower standard) to detain him. They certainly had that. The parents' reported that he likely had a stolen gun, which would be a felony (important later). "The use of deadly force is when deadly force is applied to you." No, it isn't. First, you do not need to wait until someone applies deadly force against you before you can use deadly force to protect yourself, you only need to be reasonably in fear that it is imminent. (see Idaho statute 19-202A) Second, the standard is "death or serious physical injury" in Idaho. And third, police can legally use lethal force to prevent someone from escaping when that person is suspected of a felony and poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or other persons. (see Idaho statute 18-4011)

Absolutely a bad shoot. This is only one of hundreds I've seen and only three were at question so I'm very pro police that do a horribly difficult job today. We don't know if the gun was loaded. I've seen police fire a hundred shots answering just one call at Walmart's, neighborhoods, banks or down town city streets and was amazed no collateral damage because clearly no one cared one bit where the missed rounds were going. You can talk him down is a high percent try. Yell for the other person to get back in the house as I've seen many times. Less lethal is an option at times or dog. Killing a person not trying to harm others when they have mental issues means cops can shoot half the population in America our people are so drugged up, drunk or mentally out of it. I think the police did wrong here and 5 rounds proves it. FIVE frigging rounds toward that very house is OKAY, when his one round means death to himself. They do that so no one survives to go to court. I feel so badly for the guilt the parents have to endure all their lives. It has to be terrible.

No they shot because he turned the gun. Now it was pointed at officers. Would you play Russian roulette? Probably not. So the argument “it might not be loaded” is asinine.

They talked to him for FIVE hours dingus

[@widowmaker7462]

You'd be the same person crying if he shot somebody and crying why didn't they shoot him earlier. He was a threat to the public plain and simple.

You think a crazy suicidal guy brandishing a gun should be allowed to walk around a neighborhood? lol good thing you're not a cop, you have no clue how to recognize a threat. You'd get yourself or your partner killed with your TV show training.

@@101Navyseals Well thanks for calling me names so I can tell just what your level of education is and what kind of human being you are. Where did you find that they talked to him for 5 hours? I didn't see or hear that.

[@rbstevns1534]

He had a gun, you can see the gun, clean shoot

[@jamesthetruth3868]

The lies they tell

[@auggievu2972]

Total incompetence

[@royjacobs6680]

How many times do you need to shoot a person?
