"Had a history." Didn't get helped by anyone who knew his history. Now he's dead.
Sometimes they refuse treatment. He was in treatment according to the report.
@@kgfairgo5559 Obviously it was inadequate. People like him used to be hospitalized, until the Feds shut down the mental hospitals in the 1980s.
This is why we don't call police for my mentally ill sister, we deal with it ourselves. Policemen trained to shoot the threat. So so sad
arent there resources for cases with mental health? im just curious. family shouldn’t have to suffer.
@MarkZimmerman barely. I mean seeing a psychiatrist and going on meds. Too be honest in my opinion the family is left to deal with it. It's a lot to take on, glad my family is big and close knit. Takes a village
@@brittneyjake2010sometimes the police show up when we don’t want them too
Yea sure@@zack9777
It’s America. Getting crazy everyday.
Should be new slogan of America. "Getting crazy everyday"
Crazier everyday😂😅
Police Officers NOT Healthcare professionals. They are trained to use force if someone is armed or perceived as a danger to others. It's family's responsibility to care for mentally unstable family members.
Think of the Rockford, Ill. massacre as but one example of what unhinged people with knives running around neighborhoods of single family residences are capable of. More proof? There was a brutal badgecam video released from Las Cruces of an officer getting stabbed to death by a knife-wielding homeless crazy. The cop let his guard down and the suspect ran up and murdered the cop before he himself was shot and killed by a good samaritan.
Because you always go higher on the use of force matrix. Suicide by cop. Less lethal can be used but he was advancing. Sad for all involved.
im so sorry he couldnt get the help he needed. there should be more done. i wish he could have gone to a safe place w mental health help for the youth. rest in peace little brother. you tried hard you did your best. this pandemic was hard on you.
Poor kid I feel so bad for him may he rest in peace. Mental instability is such a big thing nowadays. Such a sad ending.
Poor kid
It would have been a much bigger story if he was Black
You bring them into this world you are responsible for them.
What's crazy is that people are upset about a cop shooting a dude running at him with a knife.
BC's he was mental I'll. You seriously missed that?. 🤷.?
@@blacklabsociety4876Because they were still a deadly threat. A mentally ill person running at a cop with a knife is just as dangerous as someone who's not mentally ill doing the same.
How would *you* treat someone running at you or a loved one with a knife? Would you not use a gun because of it and choose to go hands on instead because that's the better option for them?
@@latetotheparty7551 & if you think someone in psychosis is the same as a level headed person..... "W a knife" . 🙄
@@blacklabsociety4876 So if he stabbed you, you would just brush it off as a medical call?
He was not running. You are the type of person to say, "he pushed me and broke my collarbone so it's why I shot him" when it was just a shoulder bump.
Police are people too. Let's remember that.
yess but an officer that already had 2 encounters with the suspect and knew he was mentally struggling should not be holding a lethal weapon on a distress call
Um........don't run toward a cop with a knife?
Yep! Very disturbing situation of a guy who killed a cop all caught on the cop's own bodycam in Las Cruces. The cop was trying to speak to the homeless guy (he was on a business owner's private property camping out in the back) like a human, and the homeless guy ran at him and slashed at the cop's neck, killing him (the cop let his guard down). I don't ever want to hear about 'how terrible' an unhinged person with a knife running rampant around a neighborhood getting shot soon after the massacre in Rockford, Ill. which was the case of an unhinged man running rampant around a neighborhood with a knife.
they only shot him because he was b1ack...blm!!! defund the police!!!
i think you found the solution
Who continues to walk in a direction where a gun is about to off at you? It appears as if he was trying to be killed.
@@simplyshanbrown3684 suicide-by-cop is common. these perps don't have the guts to off themselves so they bait cops to do it for them.
So wjy didn't his family actually het him help?
You are completely ignorant
Probably a Meth abuser. Can't force someone to get help.
I had no idea there was such disdain for mental health issues. Reading the comments is concerning.
It's been 4 years since the pandemic so give it up. This is 2024 the pandemic was in 2019.
Less lethal vs lethal (knife)? If there are a bunch of officers present, it's reasonable to have some on less lethal, while others remain on lethal devices. It appears that only 1 officer was actually addressing the subject in this instance. He acted reasonably.
Sooooo family clearly didn't help him
That “gentle soul” shouldn’t be holding the knife and attacking peaceful people in the neighborhood and the police
He never had a history of attacking anyone get your story straight before you comment. He also called the police on himself.
Ok Dimwit
@@jackolanternmstill not a gentle soul. Obviously that stuff was blowing up inside of him for a long time.
How sad 😢
Rip manny
Crazy guy with his ding-a-ling exposed approaches with a knife. Cop ain't got time playing this game and went bang-bang.
“ process their new reality “ what a despicable thing to say. Disgusting.
It is not the cops fault. What are you people doing to your kids? You're letting them sit around on the damn computer or on the phone you're not spending any time with them. All this mental health issues is because they're lonely. This is your problem not the police.
Where was this kid parents?????
They were at church
Oh sure, if the officer would to use a taser and it was ineffective, I guess he dies trying to protect someone who is killing him. That's the stupidest question ever.
Insane people don’t get excuses
Why oh why
Since when do police chiefs think they need more stars than General Patton???
Do not approach them with a knife. Do not victimize a police officer.
Damn police can’t shot the leg????? To save this poor kid lives.
Kids are so soft now a days😂
you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself! This young man had mental health issues - he needed care and help - not your cruel comments!
Bots are "so" evil "now a days." The devil is proud of you.
@vootamu1 Bots? Haha care to elaborate
He had a history! The police had a history!
OMG
This is so sad. God please help his and the police officers family 😢
HE HAD A KNIEF!!!! It doesn’t matter this is ridiculous we expect our police officers to risk life of themselves? At the pay they get? NO! Family should have made sure he had around the clock supervision if he was that unstable. I stand with the POLICE sorry.
Relax dollie
Could of, should of, would of, but refused. Stop making excuses for YOUR LOVE ONES. THEY DON'T CARE.
It seems this way more than ever now but if you or someone you know is having a mental health crisis the last people you want to call is 911.
If a guy is walking around my neighborhood screaming and yelling while holding a knife you bet I'm calling the police
@@Jeff-sp7bg Right I'm the same way I'm very anti crime period.. I think it just sometimes goes a little past normal into that unknown territory but more often than not they're killed in the end. I worked with the mentally handicapped and the mentally ill especially with homeless vets and it doesn't seem things are getting any better for anyone. I just wish there was more law and order and more outlets to better care for people like him that clearly have no idea what is happening around them in that moment.
Sad case but such is s good reminder that the likes of beanbag shotguns can be useful so that lethal loads don't have to be used by default. Such costs more to purchase, train officers, and have said officers hired to begin with so that's the rub.
For the family, there's something called the 21 foot rule ( Tueller principle) and you can see this demoed in many videos online. Plus cops can usually, by department rules, only use lethal cover when at least two officers respond and are equipped accordingl (e.g. one on beanbag and one on pistol).
I learned from Donut that cops don't OC people they plan to take into custody due to contamination and their also being diminished.
Plus you don't meet a knife with a non ranged tool.
May he rest in peace and my heart goes out to his family and the responding officer.
That's a very interesting description. Can't possibly be more to the story. 🙄
Theyre going to use the "21 ft rule" to justify the killing! But the department did cause negligence because they were aware of the situation the whole time and they still approached the situation different. These are not the procedures and policies that reflect a mental health situation.
They do reflect a situation involving a person armed with a knife who did not listen to verbal commands, though. Like you're some kind of expert....
Based on the video he was well within a safe and effective distance to use the taser. This are supposed to be "trained officers".
@@davidfunk7602 and if you consider the lower chance of effectively getting the prongs to attach to make said tazer work?
@@davidfunk7602 A suspect armed with a knife has escalated the situation to a deadly force one. Force is met with force, i.e., a gun is used to counter a knife. If you go into a street fight expecting to fight fairly, you've already lost before the first blow falls.
If you were a cop with that attitude, they'd be having your funeral during your first year, before your probationary period has even ended.
@meatpopsicle1567 LOL you are saying that like he was some type of trained killer with a knife smh. He was 19 yo scrawny kid may he RIP. Stop trying to justify this. They officers mishandled the situation from the beginning period.
drugs
And pronouns
@@bilindamueller3154he was far from that
Everyone treats us like we are crap half 🍑 medical police just yeah and people its sad we are humans too however we having issues that make us do things that are questionable and its hard
To many cowards with a police badge😢
Whats the point of having taser if your not going to use it
you aren't very bright.
In order for tasers to work effectively they have to be close range. That isn’t the best idea with someone holding a knife.
Yea the cops should have gotten their mark 42 iron man suit and handle it lol.
@@roguetrader303 Lmao!!
Doesnt work well against a sweater, and the dude is coming at the cop. Taser attempt and nothing happening = unreasonable risk. Now, on the flip side the other cop could have assisted and provided assistance but things dont always align favorably.
This the second shooting and death in 10 days that a young person with a knife, and mental health issues has died by suicide by cop. Whatever happened to shoot to wound or tasers? I find this very disturbing and in good conscience have to condemn these two incidents.😢😢
I think its the same story
@@mason5540 The other case was a 16 yr old girl in No. California. It's all just so sad.
Oh, well she shot herself. @@user-sq6dk8hq9i
Because they would be stabbed before they could use them.
@@nuttybar9 as far away as that young man was, he could have been tased, and if not, wounded. My opinion anyway.
Poor boy R.i.p i am so appalled by this how cud they do that and try and justify that 🤦🏻♀️😢
Because the guy had a knife in his hand and was advancing towards them.
If that was somebody running towards you with a knife you would just let them destroy you? Leave our police alone they have enough stress.
The point is people- we should have a system where police can handle someone who is dangerous WITHOUT LETHAL FORCE. esp a 19 yr old sick kid. If you think it's as simple as a kid w a knife needing shot- you ARE part of the PROBELM.
Let them run around your neighborhood with a knife and you not call the cops. Come off it!
I actually have an option for such calls that you would probably decry due to your one sided view on this sad case (beanbag shotgun).
😂
Don't make no sense police is a scared of a night bro to me let's get our tax dollars back to get some of these offices off the streets that are scary to really serve and protect
Subliminal brainwashing? (...by the press)
something is seriously wrong with this story and the video in question. the officer had plenty of time to deploy non-lethal measures to subdue this mentally disturb man yet he choose to use deadly force? yes there needs to be a totally independent investigation from a outside agency. as with any officer involved shootings there will be 500 questions being tossed there but the body cam video clearly shows this officer had plenty of time to deploy other non lethal measures to stop this young man. yet he choose to use deadly force?
So you don't think the Police are telling the naked truth?
You keep asking a question but you keep running your mouth and acting like you know all the answers. You weren't there. Too bad so sad the guy wanted suicide by cop and now he's forcing policemen to do that and they have to suffer because of it. And people like you don't help with anything.
Yet police are here to help people yet they kill them smh its sad
In case you didn't know. it is very much illegal to assault/kill a police officer genius.
Defund more police!
🙏🏿🙏🏿
He didn’t have to die .. difference if he had a gun and was pointing the Gun weapon to the officer. But yet he shot him over and over . Yet this officer will get a metal and not life in prison or fired . Ridiculous and this is why I will never respect the black and blue
How about you responding to calls like this armed only with your words? A knife is a deadly threat and the guy could have closed the distance in a second. Note at time 156 the guy started to run towards the officer.
He was not aiming the knife
He also didn't have to run towards an officer with a knife.
For one thing it would be a medal not a metal. You really don't know how to write a sentence or even spell and may I say your opinion is ridiculous.
sunnyvale police failed
How? The failure was on the part of the people who knew he had a history of mental health problems and didn't get him help.
More like your a failure as a human
just like your mom failed you?
No they didn't , this kid and his family failed society
Boring person accusing others fail.
Police Reform!!!
What you actually meant to post was "Criminal Empowerment!!!"
We already defended and reformed and drowning in crime
He forgot his pants
Drugs are bad.
Knife and then a gun? This only happens in america.
Not only in America but I understand wat u mean
No it doesn't .
What a ridiculous comment.
In Murica. F Yeah
