Officers had no choice. You saw the video. Dude was armed. That's a big ass can of mace.

You’re wrong

Never call cops for family issues,they (cops) will do worst like this case.

Sorry for the mother 😢

[@dc_kai3055]

3 guys couldn’t subdue one without shooting him ?

[@BSO1260]

Are you slow or what? He had and deployed bear spray at the office do I have to go on? I’ll put in dummy terms he charged the officer while deploying bear spray the officers come incapacitated he gets the Officers gun and starts shooting there you have it that’s why he was shot. Do you get it NOW???

[@libertyna933]

They do it all the time in other countries.

[@goldenparachute392]

Why should they put their lives at risk? They tried their best. The guy was fighting the officers.

[@goldenparachute392]

@@dc_kai3055 exactly, why do you think there’s an insanity defense to murder….mental health episodes can be deadly. He was fighting them and they tried to subdue him but he wouldn’t have any of it

[@docbailey3265]

Like sucks, and many situations in life totally suck. It’s sad.

[@LeonardoLavina]

If you got any family with mental health problems you may never call the cops after you see 👀 what happened to this guy

[@user-pb9py4ld9w]

It hurts but you have to call. Either the kid hurts himself or hurts someone else and end up in jail for life.

[@LeonardoLavina]

@user-pb9py4ld9w I not but the problem is cop's old ways going prepare to shots them suppose to have especially personal for this can off situations know suppose ending up like this

[@goldenparachute392]

@@LeonardoLavinathere is no funding for that. They already pay the officers peanuts to put their lives at risk and deal with the grossest members of society.

Turned to full volume- still can’t hear this video!

[@flacarpetracer]

they don't want you to hear all the lies.

[@hjumper8238]

It would be good to know how many of these situations also involve the use of recreational drug by those with mental problems such as this one. Are there any statistics being kept as this reflects upon the laws that are being made to remove cannabis as a drug that also is considered as a gateway drug towards use of the really addictive dangerous ones?

[@Lena-so2lq]

That gateway drug BS is part the problem. YOUR thinking is part of a major problem.

[@user-yr6dm2yg3j]

Sorry for the mother and for sure she probably regretted to call the cops,they (cops) always make the problems worse.

[@artisticdriver4218]

He needs deliverance and they don’t prescribe that at the hospital 😢 Some things only God can help. 🙏🙏🙏 for the officers on the front line. And for the boy and his mother.

[@Lena-so2lq]

No

[@michelledubose2391]

You negotiate for 5 seconds knowing he’s mental y edited video

[@user-pb9py4ld9w]

This is a big problem in Florida. My nephew refuses treatment for bipolar, my sister has tried to baker act him but the hospital discharges him because he refuses treatment. He’s now 19 & has episodes where he jumps out of moving cars, runs thru the roads recklessly, jumped into a pond where someone with a canoe saved him. During childhood my sister had control but as a teen it’s been hell without medical support. Are they wait for the kid to hurt someone or commits a tragedy? I would take mom’s word, lock him up in a psychiatric facility. Treatment & medication.

[@vanessapanek9959]

In the flesh

[@user-pw4kw3ro6i]

But you shot him he was a mental patient, yo.Should have had someone out there to work with mental people.This is a sad situation all the way around my prayers go out to all

[@IBeLieveInChrist07]

It all happened in 5 min, not much time to get a mental health worker at scene. Plus he’d already been at a facility that couldn’t help him. ❤

[@goldenparachute392]

No budget. They pay cops peanuts to deal with this and put their lives at risk.

[@ronaldhoneycutt4880]

Yeah we know the police escalated things used police brutality but of course you’re completely innocent and now the subject is dead. We’ve heard it time and time again, it’s actually getting a little tiresome don’t you think

[@jenniferboyd3995]

He's not dead... they said he's recovering in the hospital after surgery... apparently you're so against police saving their own lives that you don't want to listen to what actually happened... 🤔 maybe watch the video also... he's charging the cop with a large knife while blinding him with bear spray... what would you do? Again the "mental health" criminal that acquired a knife and bear spray after leaving the hospital a few minutes earlier, is still alive...

[@goldenparachute392]

The guy was armed and brutally attacking the officers. Would you be more inclined that this sick man go nuts on his mother instead?

[@judyfryer2294]

You either can't see or read or down right stupid. The officer's tried to help this guy and unfortunately this is what eventually happened.

[@ronaldhoneycutt4880]

@@goldenparachute392 well citizen’s are at the breaking point with almost everything and everyone so it would seem in everyone’s best interest to just leave well enough alone because if you provoke the wrong person he just might very well unleash on whom ever stands in their way so if it were me I think I would just leave whomever is having a bad day completely alone and just let them sleep it off because if in fact you call the cops on that person, well you can probably figure the rest out if not just respond and I’ll be happy to spell it out for you. Have a great night and FYI there’s no sense in throwing someone under the bus even if it makes you sleep better. Remember the Golden Rule Treat others the way you wish to be treated and you just might make someone’s day

[@Lena-so2lq]

Police need mental liasions in these situations. Im sorry but they just arent paid that much to do it all.
