Death at a Funeral: Man Shot and Killed after Acting 'Out of Control' at Burial | TVJ News

[@JohnsonBeckett]

This is not the behavior of a sane person. You open the casket of a stranger and remove the body ? This is a mad man

[@chantellee9218]

Possessed

[@meaganalleciafrancis7525]

Like seriously?

[@Theone-zg8qz]

This man is clearly having an episode. And for the woman to say shoot him and then the blood of Jesus is sickening

[@keepingitrealandtruthful.5081]

She probably said that out of shock.

This was so spiritual. But who have eyes to see let them see I guess 🤷🏾‍♀️

He was doing strange things with the body....which sane person handles a corpse like that.

[@rubylimey7614]

I can't imagine the trauma the funeral goers experience witnessing this. Still wondering why the police didn't do more to help the situation 😢🙏🙏🙏

[@ministerTJames]

@@rubylimey7614 like wise the family members I can’t imagine someone having access all by himself to a casket at a funeral. This is madness..

[@ministerTJames]

@@rubylimey7614 well we really don’t know what was going on before maybe he had a weapon before everyone stepped back. I can’t see a funeral going on and everyone stands off while a stranger disturbs the corpse… something else must have drove them away.

It really could have handled much better, this shooter should brought to justice. Where’s Jamaican compassion gone ??

What if the lady that was being buried is the shooters mother?? But regardless the police did a very poor job at de-escalation a preventable situation like that.

[@remylawson305]

@@bigvize8782so how does that justify killing a clearly mentally unstable person for an already deceased person? No matter how angry and traumatized I would be about the ordeal the youth caused, I would have to let common sense prevail, what satisfaction would anyone have to gain from killing him? Did he have any weapon, did he attempt to harm anyone physically? Why be so jumpy, trying to prove what exactly?

@@remylawson305 I’m not disputing that objective at all! I actually agree with u! The police did an absolutely terrible job by not neutralizing the unstable youth without any physical harm whatsoever.. The license fire arm holder is going to be in great trouble because a weapon discharged wasn’t needed.

[@remylawson305]

@@bigvize8782 bless you for your honesty and looking into this 🙏🏽The police really should have taken the matter in hand, all the end results were deeply disturbing and totally unnecessary, and look at that, the lady was still put to rest after everything, but a life was taken unjustly.

[@ministerTJames]

Why did the man have access to go into the casket where was everyone else? Normally family members and mourners are closer surrounding the grave ect. I would think man’s power would and could be more active in this situation unless we didn’t see the entire video.

[@gshodiamond]

Obviously because of his violent behavior all the mourners and cemetery workers had to run, there is information circulating that he actually knocked out the first person who I heard is a police that approached him to unconsciousness with a stone, so that's why the other person shot him because they were trying to restraint or remove him before to no avail. Not sure why that info was not included in this news clip but media bias and sensationalism is nothing new

[@lorrainetaylor-bogle9946]

My God!!! This is soooo sad!!! This young man lives down the road from me, passes by my house all the time. Clearly something went wrong!!! Noone who is mentally stable disturbs a funeral this way - opening casket and taking the body out. The mourners must have been frightened out of their wits... but where were the strong armed men? Couldn't they and the police subdue him? And if shooting was a way of subduing him, why didn't the shooter shot him in his foot? As a nation we all need to get back to the basics and care for each other. What happen to "the Good Samaritan" principle? 🧎🏾‍♀🕊🔥❤‍🔥🩸☮💐🙏🏾

If no one have the knowledge of this. But stone is actually a weapon in the category of knives and machete and gun it can b lethal with 1 strike, so if thats y he got shot that understandable, A mad man killed a police in linstead couple yrs back with a stone to the head

[@deelonshaw6505]

Firing the first shot I can understand but what’s the need for the second shot and why did he decide to aim for the man’s vital organs. Clearly his desire was not to deescalate but to kill.

[@Story_Time876]

Let us not rule out the supernatural, aka spiritual/demonic possession. These things are real and are worth considering in this case. I'm no expert but just listen to sound he made after jumping the fence and while on his way to the graveside.

[@JacquelineHarvey-mk2dd]

But if him not mad y him doing that something wrong sorry

[@belleofficial8766]

I understand and just can imagine how terrified the attendees were. This young man was clearly been disturbed by his behavior. However, I'm certain that more could've been done to restrain or subdue him instead of taking his life. What about firing shots in the air as a scare tactic by the officers? What about pepper spray? For the liscence fire arm holder to have killed that man instead of shooting in the foot makes absolutely no sense. When are we going back to the place where we protect our neighbors? This is a tragedy all around. My condolences to both families.

[@virginianelson3739]

The police action was inappropriate for this behaviour of the young man. It’s obvious that he was not in his right mind, so the action of the police was definitely excessive!!!

[@sharlenethomas129]

The police didn't do any thing. Plus mental illness is not police job. They didn't touch him which I wouldn't endangered myself. The firearm holder didn't have to unalive him.

[@charliebrown9050]

I can't even begin to imagine the trauma the family was going through when this was was abusing the body of a loved one. The mourning process is heart-wrenching and, stressful especially when the body is getting ready to be placed in the ground. Yes they could have tackled him but nobody is thinking about that when you are extremely emotional and, have a gun. That was an emotionally change decision and, it seems as if everything was set in place for that outcome.

[@veronicagarwood2839]

Police need to be train on negotiating skill o n how to deflect these situations.

[@gshodiamond]

The first one that tried negotiating with him was knocked unconscious with a rock so what are you saying? It was after that and the fact that more rocks were being thrown at others that he was shot. The fact that no one could be close to the coffin should make it obvious that he was driving fear in everyone, not even the guys that cover the graves can be seen in the video. Its good to use insight

[@Anggelos876]

I agree with Dr Able. I am sorry for the family but I am assuming that some voices I heard called out for shooting of the man, were family members of the one being buried. This is the mindset sadly of the typical Jamaican. Yes the police also needs training to deal with situations like this. Urgently. I guess also there will be claim to shoot because of throwing of stones and the "harm to life" will be stated by the shooter. I disagree. We need to do better.

[@maliquebarnaby2544]

I am of the opinion that demonic force was at work let us not underestimate the forces of evil ,it is a very thin line between sane and insane still can't understand why he was not restraint ,with all the persons there how was he able to removed the corpse from the casket sigh .The whole situation is just sad . Often we see people going about but we don't know what is happening to them .condolences to his family and friends 😢

Idk about anyone else...but if I'm at a funeral for a family member and a random man appear and go near the casket to open it...he's ending up on his face as soon as him touch it

[@TubuskyAndrews]

3 police officers could have held him down. Condolences to the families on both sides but this is not the actions of a sane man. The police officers are to blame because they are there to maintain order & they were scared to approach an UNHARMED MAN that could have easily been held down by them & assistance would have been rendered by the public too. Sad

[@dmp4211]

Dovecot duppies took control of his mind.Can a sane person removed a deceased person from a casket? Not normal,but the situation could handle much better,instead every mourners took out their phone and turn videographer.SAD.

[@charliebrown9050]

People do not think when they are emotional they do things on impulse.

[@KononR-gz4vo]

They're saying the police shouldn't have shot the man. But if you look at the video closely, it looks like he had an object under his t-shirt, and he started throwing rocks. This means he could have had a deadly weapon too. So, sometimes you have to be in the officer's shoes before judging.

[@shellyshelly3188]

This is cold-blooded murder😢

[@sham1662]

This man was not armed but only troubled to myself. For someone to quick to shoot without thinking how to save . Police was on the scene and yet they did norhing to de-escalate the situation. A license fire arm came in a shoot to kill. This man need to be charged for murder and bond from having any access to legal weapon. There need to be more training and knowledge in how the police and others from the force to deal with sutuation. If it was a young teenager they would of shoot too.... That man need to be held accountable and the poloce officers of not abiding to their to protect and serve. GOD have mercy

How he get to open that casket so easy??

That me say.him unarm,😢them pple here

[@yourlocalgamedev1834]

Why are your framing this as someone that is insane. "The man said she can't burry here" just means that he was either one of the grounds men or someone who is aware of who is to bury where. Take away the emotions from the situation and look at whats happening. Its likely some dispute with the people doing the buring and then they shot him. Him just handle the situation wronh
