Dude ran from mental health treatment, not a prison!

They're basically worse honestly.

[@chavvy9074]

@@t13596 yea I agree. I understand why he’d run from either of them honestly, but for them to act like he was inherently dangerous is the purpose of my comment

[@donreyes3921]

I guess the tasers took the day off…

[@gemgal711]

Less lethal was at the ready so why did the other leo feel the need to use lethal force? Leo's who jump at the chance to shoot at someone before assessing the situation don't belong on the force. This isn't war.

what crime did he commit.

None lol

[@josephg1125]

None never call pigs on someone you care about their always out for blood

[@lisalittle4826]

Absolutely ridiculous.

[@davidwinkler9668]

What's sad to me is specially in the situation where we know persons having mental issues it happens and do we have to look to foreign countries on how to deal with situations like this without taking neither person's life on both sides and we're supposed to be the leaders of the world on the free country

[@jasont7540]

"NO OTHER OPTIONS?!?!?!?!" How about backing up and creating some space? Talking and DEESCALATING. 99.9% of cops will only make mental health crisis situations worse, it's been proven over and over and over again.

[@Just_politicking_podcast_1017]

Only white ppl think this

[@businessraptor134]

Lol the guy says he's ready to not live over and over so casually then charged the officers while spraying bear mace as he tries to stab them... you must be a sniper thinking police can hit a guy running around with pistols from long range. How far are they supposed to go? How are they going to make an arrest at a distance and disarm the man who doesn't want to live anymore? There were no other options. Watch the body camera footage... you sound delusional

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d ooooo stalking my comments... you commented and came after me in he first place. I destroyed your argument and you went after grammar in retaliation.

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d "99.9% of the time cops will only make mental health crisis situations worse" I'll wait while you fact check that... I'm STILL waiting for you to tell everyone how to properly handle the situation. You gunna actually say anything or just taking shots in the dark hoping you will hurt my feelings. 😂 you comment back to me and now you are following me. Your feelings are obviously hurt and you wanna win this engagement so you resorted to childlike insults. That's not gunna cut it.

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d Yeah, it was redundant and you haven't done or said anything relevant so I got bored because you just keep saying I'm wrong _but won't say how you would do it_ interesting... that seems like troll behavior.. You are the one responding to a comment and like a narcissist, tried to _totally get me_ with your super witty jabs when you dont know a thing about me... (wild swings) I gave an opinion and it clearly hurt your feelings and now you are dragging this on like you are "destroying" me..? If I could, I'd laugh right in your face. Guess what? I just got paid to respond to you the whole tim and that's the only reason I've ever responded becasue im bored at work.. But I don't feel like talking about the same thing for days. Thats boring. Thanks for letting me live rent free in your head though.

Commanded to obey. Failure to comply. Ability to disobey taken by force. Again, the same old same old... disobedience.

Acorn cops

[@marvellneal4914]

What I'm thinking is why did they corner him in, and you can say you're trying to console him but clearly he can see you have a gun pointed at him, and all this knowing that he's schizophrenic, give him a directions to escape in

[@moonlover8916]

Nope, did they even use the Taser first?

[@jonjones654]

Mac It was crazy.

[@Ava-oc1dg]

Tazed?

[@soflodoug]

whole thing sounded avoidable.

[@businessraptor134]

Bodycamera shows him spraying bear mace and charging the officer with a knife as hes spraying... how many of the _brave commenters_ would use a taser in that situation... hes running at you to make you not alive spraying mace after saying hes ready to dye? You guys are in a fantasy land.... guy even survived.

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d "a taser would have instantly-" yeah stop right there clown, you don't know how effective a taser is... if the taser failed with they do almost 50% of the time then you are being maced and stabbed. Don't even speak to me with that amount of ignorance. I'm surprised you didn't say "they should have shot him in the leg" because that's how misinformed about law enforcement you are. Father was in for 16 years and I worked in the court system.. Watch Police Activity here on youtube. See how things really go... your made up senerio of 1v1 with a cop is blatant ignorance of basic police protocol. Get educated

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d my original comment describes exactly what happened on the body camera footage btw... you take a less lethal and go at a guy with a deadly weapon and a incapacitating weapons... make sure to turn on your body camera so Donut Operator can do break down video on why you didn't survive the encounter. Sheesh

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d lol bro... he was a former police officer.. I'm at work getting paid to comment to you right now and you are inconsequential in my life so I don't care to correct or make my comments any easier to read. 🤷‍♂️ Desicpher em if you are so smart... I do enjoy how you cherry picked around my points and rather then addressing them you go after my typing... shows how weak your argument is and how misinformed you are.

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d I use "dye" and other tricks so my comments will not get removed too...

[@businessraptor134]

@user-ju9gd9nv9d yup comments are removed again. Idk why D.O. was a cop and you don know anything about police policy in situations with a dedly weapom.
