https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MW...HTDBxCnGi5jvBzKPB84oQ&has_verified=1Good body cam video from a very recent Officer involved shooting. Sure illustrates how multiple rounds into a perp don't always stop the attack. A lot of people around here would call that excessive force if they read an article outlining the details on this one. Hope that Officer is O.K.

if you can't watch the video , guy in a yellow shirt with a knife at what looks like an apartment complex police start asking him, pleading with him to put the knife down , over and over you can hear in the cops voice he doesn't want to shoot he walks at them and they keep backing up till he is out on the highway , he gave the guy probably close to 100 yards backing up pleading with him. calling for more backup.
when the officer realizes that he is running out of room to give he tells his partner less lethal ,can't see the partner at that point but basically as soon as he says less lethal the yellow shirt guy runs at him with the knife officer fires several shots , the guy goes down and looses his knife stays down lees than a minute maybe 20 seconds then gets up and the cop asks his partner to taze him as soon as they guy hears this he charges the cop but with no weapon the cop doesn't shoot yellow shirt any more . but yellow shirt gets him and starts wrestling him trying to get hold his gun , the cop hollers he has my gun he has my gun and other cops shoot yellow shirt ending it.
looks like a fairly clear case of suicide by cop every time the guy heard it might end with him alive he charged forcing their hand.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Thanks for that description Greencounty. I completely missed that he dropped the knife there. I was confused about why he wouldn't get back on the trigger when he got back up.

What do you suppose they were hitting him with? 9mm, 40 S&W? Looked inadequate. probably 9. Looked like the first guy was intentionally aiming low

All pistol rounds are about equal. If the assessment is that was inadequate performance, then all pistol rounds are about equally inadequate.

If the guy hadn't dropped the knife the cop would probably be dead. I don't see how they could handled it any more professionally than they did. I agree 100%. Those officers, if anything were a little lite on force after he popped back up. They showed great restraint and proper threat assessment imo, kudos to them and glad they are ok.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

X3 Also it was great seeing the paramedics right there waiting. This whole situation could've been a lot worse

A good training video. In a nutshell: More offense, less defense. But that's the times we live in. Ya know....the media is more comfortable with a dead cop than a dead bad guy. In todays day and age, sometimes you can't save your job and your life, too.

Is there protocol for the officer to re holster his firearm after shooting the individual? I am wondering why he did not continue to shoot when the man got up and charged again? Was he likely in shock from initially engaging the individual and from training had holstered his firearm? I thank the Lord there are those willing to put their lives on the line for each of us daily and I pray God grants these officers protections in their daily duties. Could be a couple things. He might’ve thought the fight was over and was going to move forward to apply cuffs ( sounds strange, I know . But that’s policy in some departments. ) , maybe render first aid , etc.. Could simply be a training scar acquired at the range.

Its good to see a video of cops doing everything they can to avoid shooting somebody. I get tired of the other ones. Gets me all wound up. Im glad no cops were hurt.

Too bad they didn't have pepper spray or a taser on their belts with their guns. Shame to kill anyone, but with what they had to work with good job! Watch the video again. His backup is holding a taser in his left hand and is about to light him up when the guy rushes the Officer for the second time.
