Man Gets Shot After Opening Fire On Deputies At Florida Gas Station

[@johnjohn-ck3lb]

it breaks my heart when this police officer said to him: "please do not do this to me, I do not want to live with this"

[@lemonsharks4598]

I’ve never heard officers use that before. It seems like a good tactic to use to make that person feel too guilty to do whatever it is that could be harmful. Or at least make them think a little more about it being that it isn’t something that only affects them. Has to strike an empathetic nerve of a person prepared to cause damage when reminded of how their behavior would affect surrounding people.

[@xSSxTejas]

@@serratoanthony It's not selfish, the guy had already made it clear that he did not care if he died, so the officer had to try to use something else to plead with him. Nobody wants to live with the guilt of killing an elderly veteran with mental problems

[@buzzbear822]

The officer doesn't want to live with being forced to shoot a senile old man,this should be easy to understand.

[@carolneaves3630]

I almost cried, when he said that to the Officer

[@camdenretter3226]

As someone who carrys everywhere I go and am trying to get into Law Enforcement, he said that because nobody wants to shoot anyone. Most police suicides happen after a shooting. They just wanted to help him, they knew he had mental issues but they still have to defend themselves.

Talk to someone you trust, say how you feel, scream, swing a bat at something breakable, release everything you think you need to bury inside. It's the only way you can come out of this with your own mental health. Again, Im so sorry. But I also thank you for choosing this career, and thank you for making sure you go home tonight to your family. Love you guys and please work your way thru this. And dont let this change you badly, when the next guy needs help, help him, please. We cant save everyone, but maybe we can save someone. Be there for that person.

I couldn't watch the entire video, knowing what was about to happen. I feel so sad for the cop, a truly good man who recognized what was happening in real time. And likewise for James, 80 years-old and a veteran. This is a true example of a tragedy. James clearly had dementia characterized here by paranoia. The poor man didn't ask for dementia to happen to him.

[@daphnesuarez5924]

Let me share my story. I will make it as short as possible. First of all, this NEVER should've happened the way it did. This scenario happened with my Dad. Big difference? I live in Canada. I was able to talk with the Police & explain my Dad's mental state. My Dad threatened to kill a Judge & his Family Doctor. His Doctor would NOT re-fill his, you're gonna love this one...his anti-psychotic medication! Yup, you read that right! My Dad had stopped taking Paxil (deadly side effects when you stop taking them suddenly, duh?!) which led to his psychotic episode. The Judge he wanted to kill was in charge of his case whereby her was being sued for 2 million dollars by a man that he hit with his car by accident. All of this became too much for my Dad & he literally lost his mind, like this poor man. Thankfully the Swat, ETF, ATF & local Police Dept., listened to me so my Dad is still alive today, 84 yrs old. I know for sure that they would've shot & killed my Dad if I wasn't there to explain. My heart breaks for this man because he reminds me so much of how my Dad's behavior was. My Dad is an avid Hunter & Trap shooter (most people know skeet shooting but my Dad & I shot Trap) I traveled all across the USA going to Tournaments with the ATA (Amateur Trapshooting Association) & my Dad holds the Title of High Canadian Shooter with the ATA. After my Dad was arrested he was Hospitalized, they seized all his Firearms, Revoked his Firearms License & now we go fishing lol no more hunting for Dad. n my humble opinion, this was 100% avoidable if only the Police Officers had the proper training in dealing with an elderly man clearly in the midst of a mental health crisis. In Canada, de-escalation & defusing are common when dealing with a mental health crisis, age & when a Firearm is involved. I only watched until 22:32 because I, like you, wasn't able to watch an elderly man in crisis or psychosis die. Truly heartbreaking, gut wrenching & impossible for me to fathom. Frankly, I don't see the purpose/necessity in showing him being shot. What purpose does it serve? We all know from TV & Movies what it looks like when a person gets shot. My heart goes out to the Police Officer, I'm certain he'll be affected for the rest of his Career & will suffer with PTSD. An utter Tragedy IS unfortunately the ONLY word that BEST describes what happened that night. Indeed, poor James didn't have a clue what was going on nor could he comprehend the magnitude of what was about to happen. He didn't possess the mental faculties to be able to make a clear & precise decision. God, I wish I could go back in time & save James from this, he deserved better that being shot by Police & Dementia was the REAL KILLER that took James' life that night. RIP James & I'm so sorry the system failed you.

Independent. City traffic, born, raised, lived, world traveled from, and died in San Francisco. But.. It was time for her to not be in traffic. The problem with new cars a child can start one and make it go. Don't even shift anymore. OPERATORS can be old too, driving on instinct. DRIVERS are engaged with the road and their car. The only 'drivers' I see in videos are running from the cops. Drunks can "operate" a vehicle, they don't drive too well. The difference between operating and driving is like a super tanker vs a kayak. I've said it many times, Paxil? SSRIs? Heintz 57 pharmacopia plus 'Gain of Function" is making people go nuts a little at a time. It wasn't anything like this when I was young.

You´re right. It´s heartbreaking. Maybe I missed the dementia part but if that´s true, I feel sorry for James. Not so much for his loved ones. They were responsible for having acces to a car and a gun. I don´t know about the laws in the US but here in Germany it´s difficult to take away someones drivers license and car. So the “loved ones” stand by and watch patients endanger themselves and others.

@Lennox Tawtpo shut up

[@justafellowbrother7263]

Karma is a Hindu concept and it doesn't have any place in Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. There's a similar belief but it's the justice of God and He ultimately decides who is forgiven, punished, or rewarded so a bad deed can be forgiven without repercussions and a good deed could be punished if the intention of it was bad or selfish. Karma is simply you get whatever you give, so if you do bad you get bad and it's inevitable. Karma actually ties into past lives and the deeds you did during them according to Hindu beliefs as well. You're supposed to make up the bad karma to free yourself from reincarnating according to Hinduism. So it's very different from Abrahamic religious beliefs and actually goes completely against them. I just want you to be aware of that, no disrespect is intended by my comment

My great aunt(grandmother’s twin sister) wound up with severe dementia before she passed. She had live in caregivers and she would regularly try to hit or bite them. She was in her 90s and was like 4’10 so she didn’t ever really do any damage, but it could get really intense,

[@JohnWayne-86ed]

@@Kauffman578 Yes, to some extent, I do. It's a build-up of proteins called amyloid and tau, they're normally broken down/metabolized during sleep, insomnia greatly increases your odds of developing dementia or other degenerative neurological conditions like Parkinson's. Also, certain chemicals, drugs, and heavy metals such as lead, aluminum, mercury etc can contribute to/cause these diseases, but the biggest factor (of course) is genetic susceptibility... as goes with most issues we develop.
