Also; this is a case where telling the guy to take his hand out of his pocket might not be the smartest thing to do. Having him keep his hand in his pocket then have him prone out with his hand in the pocket is the better action. |

Suspect still poses a threat to the public (bystanders) and to the uniformed police who gave multiple orders to drop said firearm.

Another thing........officer on the right (#1 on video) is way too quick to get on the radio. Dudes need to fight the urge to immediately get on the radio.

Looks like a good shoot all around to me. But I do agree that there needs to be one cop telling a suspect what to do, too many times they are giving conflicting orders so anything they do is going to be wrong. If it can't be just one they at least need to be consistent in what they are saying.

The victim wasn’t a threat. This is another video of cops shooting someone not them who has a firearm. I respect your opinion, but make no mistake you are wrong. This isn’t a video game and cops aren’t superhuman. How many times did you get to watch the video before you came to a conclusion? They don’t get that chance and innocent life is at risk. The guy had chance after chance to surrender and passed on every opportunity. What is it you think he was doing? I’ll tell you what. He was trying to create space and stall for time to gain some advantage. |

Originally Posted By Square66: I don’t remember the cops telling him to pull the heater out of his pocket? View Quote You’re right they didn’t. But “show your hands” , “take your hands out of your pockets” etc puts you mentally behind since your minds eye sees compliance. Slower to react to recognize the gun in the hand. One guy says get on the ground. The other says show your hands. Seen this confuse things many times. As well as end with the witnesses saying the suspect was doing as told and was shot. Not all this incident but you get the point. You also cannot talk, think of responses to actions verbally and shoot quick or well. Concepts learned and taught in the 80s with shot timers. One gives commands or negotiates. Cover officers do just that. We only trained “police don’t move”. Thats is the only said till compliance is gained or actions that justify force is seen. If compliance is obtained then “orchestrate” the movements you want (turn away, etc) move to cover or just change position. I do not like people disarming while facing me. Funny how all those procedures that work during high risk vehicle stops are assumed to work when there are no vehicles involved. |

Attached File umm... thats going to be a solid "NO" Hoodrat was refusing direct commands and was trying to evade/escape. Nobody "waits" for shit to escalate at that point. All he had to do was place his hands up and let one of the officers retrieve the weapon. There is ZERO reason to believe he was not a threat at that point. What, he rotates his hat to one side makes you some how believe he was off to choir practice or something? |

The second best would be taking his hand out of the pocket but this creates an issue with the officers having to immediately ID if anything is in his hand and what he;s doing with that object and then react appropriately. Most guys dont think of telling the guy to keep his hand in his pocket but it actually works pretty well if you dont have them immediately comply with your commands |

Good shoot, but his arm raising did look like a CNS reaction. Many wouldn’t know that and can’t take the risk with a gun moving up.

Pulling a gun on a cop, and he got shot for doing so...I would be mad at the officer if he didn't shoot him for that. That's basic self defense at that point for anyone.

To me it's absolutely justified. I'm of the belief that you don't get to cause a total shitshow while being noncompliant and then try and lay the blame off. To me this is a totally different situation than a situation like the Airman(men?) that was shot at his home. I do think there were some things that have been done better. One thing is that I think would help is that one person should be giving all commands and communication. When you have multiple things being yelled some of which can't be done together it makes it worse. Sometimes it's bad and I'm sure there are plenty of times it has actually caused an issue.
This guy had already made up his mind in my opinion. He had no plan of complying and being arrested so that's why I have no real problem with the shooting. Originally Posted By NCPatrolAR: Yep.
