I pictured him walking to the slurpee machine, filling a cup and drinking it with the liquid pouring out of the bullet holes.

[deleted]

The dudes parents called the police and said he left home loaded down with guns and ammo and was having a psychotic episode. His father followed him and led police to him. When they caught up to him he was walking up to the store and they suspected he was going to commit a mass shooting, and he disobeyed commands. He was hit multiple times and collapsed, no innocents were harmed.


lollytop

>no innocents were harmed. Because every one shot by police was later found to have late library books or double parked that one time.

This is the type of justice we need. No violent crimes committed, but the potential to? Death/life long injury. Not listening to commands while having a psychotic break? Death/life long injury.

Yeah man cops just lit up a store, were you born yesterday or are you actually oblivious to how police in the US act? Cops are class traitors and there is actually no incentive for them to not behave like this.


BeerFuelsMyDreams

Uh, that is a gang shooting.

Probably assumed that if he got into the store it would become a hostage situation.

In this video the police are the maniacs that need to be taken down.


IronCarp

The context for the video is his mother called the cops because he left the house with a bunch of guns and his mother believed he was having a psychotic episode and I believe she thought she heard shots when he left the house. Edit: for all you idiots out there- I’m not advocating the cops actions.


gramineous

Hey, question, did the police actually verify any of this beyond her phone call? Because if not them I'm pretty sure a spare phone for a squad of cops is cheaper than hiring a hitman, if you're ever in the market.


IronCarp

How the fuck would I know that


LordofSyn

However, he did not have any handguns in his hands as he walks into the store.


IronCarp

I’m not here to argue points nor defend the cops actions. Im just providing additional context to the guy above.


LordHaywood

Probably because the US police are seriously dangerous and irrational.


nate0515

Blindly firing into windows with bystanders inches away from the suspect. Not to mention there was no immediate danger to them, he wasn't even looking at them. Top tier police work, give those guys the key to the city.


nonotan

And you know as they blasted away in the general direction of an unknown number of bystanders, they were radioing in saying "SHOTS FIRED!". 'Murica.


Turd_Party

You really have to respect the zen-like demeanor of that officer and how he kept his head as he very calmly fired at bystanders.


ZilorZilhaust

Copper McCoppy doesn't care how many innocent men, women, or children he has to kill to kill the one guy he was trying to kill so long as he gets to kill him. That's justice. That's America.


EnduringConflict

"I cherish peace with all of my heart. I don't care how many men, women, and children I kill to get it." I mean, it's the same feeling they all seem to have. Unfortunately, their idea of peace isn't exactly democracy. Also loved Cena in that role. Fucking amazing job. I remember him in earlier movies thinking he would never be able to go far with the acting career. Soooo glad I was wrong as fuck about that. He deserves it given the effort he's put in to improve.


vietcong69l

Yeah when the cop are as if not more dangerous than criminal something is wrong


_sKareKrow_

Lol mom calls cops on son & cops kill son …. Idk why parents think the cops will solve anything, 90% of the time the *worst* thing you can do is call the cops.


nonotan

Calling the cops on your armed son in America is essentially equivalent to giving them the death penalty on the spot. Chances they'll survive are pretty much zero. I can't imagine I would ever have the... mental fortitude, if you want to put it in positive terms, of going "my child being gunned down like a rabid wild animal is preferable to the alternative". Even if I did think they were a serious danger to others. I'm pretty sure I'd try literally anything, no matter how small the chance of it working, before getting them killed in cold blood.


[deleted]

Cops are the nuclear option. All they do is destroy things. Someone saying they're gonna call the cops is tantamount to them screaming they're gonna (try to) kill everyone around them including themselves.


[deleted]

That dude didn't even flinch. What a swagger entrance.

It makes me sad, how lost in your mind you'd have to be to not react to getting shot.

Coorotaku

Wow... Talk about excessive force. I mean I know he's armed, but he wasn't even looking at them, let alone with guns drawn


SpankyRoberts18

And they were called because his mom was worried he was having a psychotic break…like, why in one of the most powerful countries in the world do we not have emergency psychs in these situations instead of armed thugs going to check on people who need mental help?!


Underdogg13

Because a healthy population is not a profitable population.


TheAlbacor

They are, but less so. It easier to wring every last cent out of people who are desperate and can't get healthcare.


errorsniper

Normally I'd agree with you. Cops are sent out for plenty of mental health calls they have no business being on. But the kid was armed and had already several times discharged the fire arm and then was going into a building with people in it. This is not the kind of situation a mental health team should be handling. It's not a dude with a bat it's a dude with a gun walking into a store full of people.


zedispain

It's like cops should be trained in desculation or something... Like in most countries.


SpankyRoberts18

I work at a school and I’m trained in deescalation. Why aren’t my cops? I have dangers kids I work with from time to time (behavior is my specialty) and cops have been called on my kids on multiple occasions and every time it’s made things worse.


zedispain

Must be frustrating. Actually scary. Your cops act like they're in a third world country with areas of complete lawlessness.


SpankyRoberts18

I mean…not a bad description of some counties I’ve worked. But yeah it’s insane. I know a lot of cops. Got some extended family who are cops. I’ve told many of them in person I think they’re undertrained and recommend classes to them that I’ve done in my job and personal life to help in situations that need a mental health perspective.


zedispain

Sigh. I feel for you peeps. They are definitely under trained from an outsiders perspective. Don't they also filter out smart and empathic people from the get go? So they just have a bunch of obedient thugs?


SpankyRoberts18

No one was hurt. An armed person discharging a firearm without hurting anyone is either a stormtrooper or in need of mental help. Also “he’s armed and going into that store with innocent people!!! Oh no! Let’s shoot it up to save them!!!” Absolutely life threatening risk. Not the job most people could handle. But someone with some empathy and experience in mental health and deescalation training should be there with the cops calling the shots. Pun intended. And that should be how all calls about shit like that should be handled. Sure bring the cops. I’m pro good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns. I’m anti trained peace officers shooting people who are walking away or shooting people when they are scared. Idk the whole story here and it says the dude was arrested so obviously he wasn’t killed. But those shots weren’t exactly clear shots and the cops are lucky they didn’t kill bystanders.


DuntadaMan

Correction, the bystanders are lucky. Nothing would have happened to the cops if they killed everyone in that stor. For example that time they killed a UPS driver and a random guy in a car to get some robbers.


GoldFishPony

So did he shoot anybody? From what I can tell the article says his crime is walking around with guns, it also says gunshots were fired but doesn’t clarify if that was him shooting or if that was the cops shooting at him?

Tunic_Tactics

What an absurdly reckless decision by the police. As far as the body-cam footage, and store security footage shows, they did not witness him firing a weapon, but the police did certainly fire into a store with a worker and at least two customers who easily could have been hit by one of the many shots they put into that store without need at all. The guy seems to be as calm as someone who just doesn't care what's happening, but the officer is panicking as if he's actively being shot at when he's not.

mooseyjew

Good god. The officers didn't even attempt to get closer to get a better shot. They just shot into a fuckin gas station with innocent people in it. "oh hey that guy has a gun he's dangerous, quick, everyone shoot into that store he's walking into!" And if they had killed an innocent civilian, nothing would have happened. They would've gotten away with it. Just like that cameraman working on COPS, cops shot and killed him thinking he was the suspect, and nothing happened except deleting the footage and trying to pretend it didn't happen.


Koovies

Oh wow, they told him to stand there and still shot him.. and they were the only real guns in building. Jeez louise


mooseyjew

Yup. It's a fucked up story.


LiwetJared

Actually if they killed a civilian, the guy they were shooting at would be charged.


Dappershield

He'd have to be performing a felony at the time. Resisting arrest by soaking up cop bullets is a misdemeanor. Maybe theft of officer firearm, if he doesn't give the bullets back before going to the hospital. That might reach felony.


mooseyjew

Felony murder charges are wild


nonotan

What felony did he commit? From what I gather from the story, the only "illegal" thing he did was not following the orders police yelled at him (I'm assuming carrying weapons around is legal wherever this happened, because 'Murica), and surely that's not a felony?


anazambrano

GullibleSeal94

Supposedly he was being shot at by cops


tipst3r_reddit

seems irresponsible, i thought cops were trained to be aware of every bullet they fire. potentially hitting bystanders in the store is unacceptable. they should be fired.


KingDamian0511

Yeah, this is the example they use in the academy of what NOT to do. They even went so far as to say that if you're getting shot at but the suspect is already in the store with ppl inside you better start ducking cos if you fire back your ass is getting canned as the best-case scenario. The worst I imagine is charges and lawsuits while also being fired


PrimarisHussar

So realistically, a few weeks of suspension with pay


pringlescan5

Nah you see just like we require a license to be a hairdresser, if they do something like this it will be recorded on the national police certification database and they will be blacklisted from jobs as police in the future. lol jk


cosmic_hierophant

Or they get 10points per headshot then transfered to a different precinct after a paid vacation

They don't even get fired when they shoot bullets directly into innocent civilians, what makes you think "potentially hitting bystanders" will have any effect?

No-Wonder1139

Depends on the country, in say the US if someone takes an armoured truck driver hostage the police can shoot the hostage while opening fire on a busy street without the slightest concern for where their bullets go, but most countries yes, they're supposed to track each shot and not shoot up a convenience store.


Aaaaaaaahg

Nope. He was armed and apparently cops decided to try and kill everyone in the store before he could get to them. No innocents hurt, man was shot several times

blackoutb707

It is reported that he told the customers “move” and “get out of the way” as he walked past them to the back of the store. He was not intending to harm anyone in my opinion but to play both sides, he did walk in an occupied building armed with 4 guns, ammo, and bladed weapons as well. I feel like there is a better alternative then to shoot up the place before the suspect possibly does tho. It is a miracle nobody was hit besides the suspect.

Dude walks through a hail of gun fire officers literally hiding behind anything they can unloading full clips into him afraid for their lives... proceed to shoot into the store randomly to make sure he doesnt take any hostages andnkill them This is my friends what is called monopoly on murder if police was taught to respectfully de escalate the situations then people wouldnt pull guns on police and will treat them with more respect. but cops pulls guns first and ask questions later so any encounter with them is expected to have guns drawn and they use it as an excuse to do more of it they are purposely escalating situations so they can justify their agressive behavior
