I lived in Burbank for 30 years. The police officers there were amazing. I went to get advice from them when my insurance company refused to pay for damage to my car that occurred while it was parked in my driveway. It was struck by a car the Burbank police were chasing. Insurance insisted on getting the names of the driver who hit my car, but because he was a minor, it wasn’t included in the police report. Not only did the desk sergeant give me advice, he insisted on calling my insurance company and telling them they legally had to pay for fixing my car. After that, no problem with the insurance. Another time, a neighbor couldn’t find her toddler. She put him down for a nap and when she checked on him, he was missing. The whole neighborhood was looking for him. Burbank immediately got a helicopter out looking for him and asking people on the ground to keep an eye out for him. After 20 minutes of searching, the little boy came out the front door of his house wondering what all the noise was. He’d been sleeping UNDER his bed behind his stuffed animals. His Mom was so relieved and then so embarrassed. The cops just gave her hugs and told her it was good practice for them. Burbank is a fairly large city, but it’s still run like a small town. Best city I’ve ever lived in.

I have a problem when a suspect cooperates and the cops don’t approach and arrest. This went on to long. If they had frisked and cuffed him in his moment of clarity he would still be alive. You can’t mess around with insane people that long.
Even though they have training, every single time they go out is a different thing they have to go to and most of the time it's dangerous. I'd much rather see them go home to their families unharmed than have some of them shot over someone that would go to jail for doing what he did and be out in a few hours to maybe do it again. They just never know what they'll be dealing with and they do their best
@@JimNasium71 I agree except when you are dealing with insane people. If they are cooperative grab them. They had staffing, cover and position. Why did they even shoot the bean bag? It’s disappointing.

@@ultramagapurebloodpride8294Where exactly did you hear or read that ANYONE said specifically that he definitely had a gun ?? They said he took the shooting STANCE ... they do not have to stand there & twiddle their thumbs to see if he really has a gun or not. He took that stance INTERNATIONALLY. Just another COWARD too afraid to do the "deed" himself so he calls the Police with a fake story to lure them there, put on a big show to INTERNATIONALLY get himself shot. His wish was granted. The End.
I'm at the point where I think people are committing crimes in the hopes of dying without having to do it themselves. Edit: 6:55 yep he's getting them ready to shoot.. yikes.. he planned this
I would say the Kinetic weapon was an abject failure. It actually quickly and violently escalated the situation. Could he have been talked down? Maybe, maybe not. But hitting him with a non-lethal during the time period of trying to talk him off the ledge is asinine.
agree 100%. Man called for help about a kidnapped daughter. All the dispatcher would talk to him about was his frickin gun, which he said he would only use for protection against the people he thought were following him. Her next words when dispatching police should be that we have a man in duress about a kidnapped daughter who may be showing signs of paranoia or mental impairment. But she did not of that, only focusing on his gun and "shooting people". What an epic failure on her part that cost this man his life.
No. The non lethal only seems asinine in hindsight because it didn't work. Had it disabled him and enabled them to arrest him successfully. They could wipe their hands clean and go about their day. Now they'll all live broken lives with PTSD. Poor cops. I feel for them. They should have had two or three cops firing non lethals all at the same time. If you're going to do something do it 110% Maybe three non lethals hitting him at the same time would've brought him down. On top of that just shoot both his legs. He was clearly mentally unstable and possibly on drugs.
@unknownalien3837 I dunno who Sierra is, and I usually call out the crazies when they deserve it but this one seemed pretty messy and not too justified, unless I'm missing something
'Randomly'.... I think you don't know what that word means. You have a man, who's acting irrational, not listening to commands, stated to 911 he has a gun and will shoot. And this man is hanging out in public next to stores and people's cars. You can't just indefinitely stand off with him. Eventually you need to take some actions, the next step after talking is non-lethal. What do you suppose the next step is when the public is in danger and he refuses to listen to simple commands
@Maddy-me5hz they should have approached with less lethal and lethal drawn, simple as. They didn't need to shoot with less lethal in that moment, he was half way complying at that point. I probably understand these situations a little better than you.
The dispatchers did their job trying to get him to cooperate. The officers did the same thing, they don't know if he has a gun or not but producing a knife and then taking an attack stance cost him his life.
They should have already recognized that there wasn't something right we came and there's a possibility he wanted to die an hey Rich is treating him like he was a criminal.
This reminds of the people who claim they are being "Gangstalked". We are in the midst of a mental health crisis in this world. If you or someone you know is suffering from mental health issues please push them towards the help they need. There is a world of help out there, unfortunately many never get it. Great job Police and I hope this mans family are able to deal with his unfortunate death.
People think everything is a mental health issue, and the mental health INDUSTRY is messed up and does more damage than good. Far more really issues than the pretend ones they make up for people
The cop had him complying but they failed to apprehend him. Then he began to gain control again and the other officer shot him with a beanbag round during the negotiations which caused him to freak out (as most would) and then they all shot him. Tragic.
Cause he obliviously isn't wanting to comply fully , he was mental and needing to be put down, u don't sit there and pull out a gun infront of 10 cops cause u got hurt from a bean bag 😂
@@cormaro13 There was NO GUN. You obviously haven't been paying attention. He did not "pull out" anything, he raise his hands to his face to shield the non-lethal crap they were shooting at him. Also, he called 911 for help about his kidnapped daughter and only mentioned a gun to the dispatcher because he felt he was being followed. He was a victim calling for help when the police arrived, but instead they treated him like a dangerous criminal the whole time. It seems he was showing signs of psychological issues, mental impairment or paranoia, but the cops never asked about any of it. All they could do was focus on their perception that he was a dangerous man with a gun, and completely forgetting that this man called 911 for help. I also blame the dispatcher who only wanted to focus on talking to the man about his gun and his comment about possibly needing to shoot the people who are following him for protection. She didn't engage with him about his kidnapped daughter, or why he felt people were following him. All she could thing about was "man... at Home Depot... with a gun... wanting to shoot people". And that is what she probably conveying when dispatching the cops. Instead of seeing this a possibly impaired and scared individual who called for help and would help. Major fail by all of these people that ended this poor mans life. This is why people fear calling 911. They become the target subject and are immediately deemed to be a threat. God help you if you are in a state of psychosis or have any kind of mental of physical impairment (deaf, can't speak, neurological disorder, etc). If you don't comply with their barking out 97 complex commands and miss one, BOOM, you're dead too.
ST.. he was contemplating if he was ready to die or not. That's why he was breathing deeply. He was just getting them ready so it looked real. This was his plan ultimately.
So many people calling 911 for help also end up being shot. To cops, everyone appears to be a violent dangerous criminal. This dispatcher should loser her job (at a minimum). She never asked the man about his daughter, or why he thought he was being followed (a major hit that this could be a person with psychological issues, mental impairment, or extreme paranoia). Rather, she only asked him about his gun, and about his brief comment that he may have to use if for protection against the people following him. This was not a threat from some criminal aggressor, that was a scared victim calling 911 for help and protection. And for that, he is now dead.
well we can't have people threatening a mass shooting be hurt that's not right. Especially in that state which coddles and makes excuses for criminals.
i thought the same thing at first but you gotta realize this fool threatened to shoot people he is in a crowded parking lot next to the entrance, and he is reaching in his pocket on and off. at some point the officers have to take him into custody and obviously the sooner the better
I’m surprised they didn’t fully contain the scene prior to all this. There were still people and cars driving by while he was at gun point. I’m glad no one else was injured.
the officer who shot first needs to be taken away from being a police. He shot without anybody telling him to do so. plus he shoot while the other officer was talking to him trying to convince him to come out. why not use other type of bullet that doesnt kill? like something to make them fallsleep right away.
@@tonysolar284 What the heck do you want the cops to do. Buy him a happy meal and tell him how good of a person he is? He was unwilling to cooperate and got what he was asking for plain and simple.
It's what escalated it, problem is they come up with all these policies and humans should be able to discern and be able to use their brain thru these situations. The guy had some mental breakdown issues, he wasn't dealing with reality. Too many police orders probably caused his brain to go overload and he couldn't deal with it. But don't expect Genius cops to be able to have the capacity to steer thru this, hard and easy to be a cop. The world is in trouble, too many wrong decisions.
Looks like being hit by a Kinetic round May have Set him off. What end incredibly difficult situation for the police. I have nothing but praise for them
yeah i think they did a relatively good job all things considerdered, but that bean bag round thing made this turn much more aggressive. i feel like i've never actually seen those non-lethal rounds have a positive effect in a mental health episode. maybe they work okay if the person is sane and reacting normally to painful stimuli, but against someone who appears to be having a mental breakdown, i've only seen it cause more problems than good results.
Yeah.. but lots of times that tool Actually helps and the suspects comply. At one point they had to use it since at any given moment that guy was going to lose it and cops would’ve got hammered for not trying it before.
Absolutely not. All she talked to him about was his gun. Nothing about his kidnapped daughter or why he thought he was being followed to try to understand if he is showing sings of mental impairment, psychological issues, or extreme paranoia. Instead, she dispatched cops to the scene, describing him as a man with a weapon who "wanted to shoot people". Like, WTF???? That is why this man is dead. He was calling for help, remember?
@@privatename3621 Just what, exactly, do you think the duties and qualifications of a dispatcher are? Their paramount duty is to relay information which primarily protects their colleagues on the front line; you think they have the time or inclination to psychoanalyse each caller? I cannot believe that you laid the blame on the dispatcher. Your post is so wrong-headed from start to finish.
@@bayadere8308 I'm not a trained dispatcher and even I know this man was in need of mental help care. But there was also a chance that what he was saying was also 100% correct. Again, the dispatcher ignored the reason for his call, dismissed his allegations of a missing or kidnapped daughter or his grave concern about being following and needing to protect himself, and instead hounded him about the gun and "who he wanted to shoot". So she erroneously translated his call for assistance into a dispatch to police as "man... with gun... at Home Depot... talking about shooting people..." And now this man is dead. What an epic failure of those who wear the badge and are sworn to "serve and protect". All they did was keep escalating the situation higher and higher, instead of trying to calmly and patiently talk this man "off the ledge". Bottom line: He was a potentially paranoid man sitting alone in his van, who called 911 for assistance. Multiple police units surrounded his van with guns drawn, and with bullet proof vests and shields immediately began treated him like he was a dangerous criminal looking to shoot them. This is 2023. Have the cops really not learned anything over the last 10 years with dozens of senseless and horrible deaths raised to national attention due to excessive use of force? Yet another man who posed no threat is now dead.
That’s a pretty consistent problem in law enforcement. Everybody’s adrenaline is up and some people have issues with teamwork in those environments. Imo.
That is completely false. And I’d give you a link but this is TH-cam and I’m pretty sure you know how to use the search function. Start with Donut Operator who just posted a video the other day of non lethal working z
@froggybug pretty simple when you see a bunch of cops and cop cars around but then people just love acting oblivious and rather record then be safe. These are the type of people that cry when something happens but there stupidity put themselves in danger.
If he was going through a mental crisis he may not be able to respond the way they want. He may be experiencing things very differently than the way others are doing.
Now flip the coin. He's going through a mental crisis. For all that the respondents know. He has a pew pew, because he's told them numerous times he has a pew pew, and is gonna pew "somebody". What if he thinks that somebody, is everyone around him? And he in fact, DOES HAVE a pew pew? And starts pewing everything around him willy nilly? You think THOSE people are ALSO going to be experiencing things very different in that scenario? It's easy to make "calls", when you're dealing in hindsight. And I don't mean that as a slight to you or anything. Just in general.
This broke me as soon as that officer even tried to speak to him in Spanish. My son wants to be a cop and I am so scared for him. I am proud but scared. I feel this cop has a good heart. He really tried to help him. God bless our law enforcement 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙
Yea I’d convince him to not be an officer. Low pay. Die from a punk who doesn’t want a ticket. Convicted due to a mob who doesn’t understand what it’s like to be under pressure. It’s not really that rewarding
@@RebelLyfeBoxing80Really? That's what you're going with? As if cops weren't civilians before signing up for the academy??? I just cannot wrap my head around the level of stupidity in people today.

@Ontheroxxwithsalt Interesting point... and I'm definitely aware of how crazy the THC products are today! Nothing like I had growing up. That is for sure!
Seeing people saying that he’s mental, but what if he really just lost his kid or really has been kidnapped. You don’t know what you’ll do if you were in that kind of situation. Most people can’t even be civil in a fender bender.
If his daughter was abducted and he was truly concerned, he would comply and want to work with law enforcement to locate his child not act out as he did and pretend to shoot at them? Tf.
1. I don't think anyone who shoots those things calls a 40mm less lethal a 'de-escalation tool.' It's a pain compliance tool but basically always increases the level of agitation. 2. Bad job Law and Crime- didn't even tell us if there was ever a daughter and, if so, how/where she is.
Why not just sneak up behind the guy and disarm him??? You couldn't have done that? Im pretty sure shoot to kill is last resort and not to mention the whole thing could have easily been prevented
I feel like they kinda went the wrong path there. He blatantly told the dispatcher "If people start shooting at me, I'm gonna shoot back", and what did they do? Shot at him, albeit with a 40. In the end, dude chose his own way though.
This was bad police work. Absolutely dropped the ball and unfortunately now a man lost his life. First, no one was ready when the officer talking to him had him ready to be cuffed up. Then half the cops there didn't know the one cop was going to shoot the non lethal gun. Wth
You guys have no compassionate for human life. People go through more than we think, but rather you help the situation, you laugh at their demise. Hopefully, your life is perfect and no troubles come your way. You seem to have a great heart by this comment, obviously.
Soooo....the guy didn't have a weapon drawn, the cops shot a sponge at him and he shot BACK....and everyone here is applauding PD? Great job starting a shootout! Sheeple...
i agree with this. But the suspect controls the response. In this case he says hes armed, willing to shoot. He also is in a van they have no way of knowing if anyone else is inside waiting to ambush. Too many variables. Sad he got put down like that. But he dictated his own demise.
What reason did the police have for escalation of force? Because he was being non compliant? I obviously wasn’t there but I didn’t notice any escalation or signs of violence from victim in video until the non lethal was fired
You people are really something. That's NOT "escalation of force". Everyone whines when non-lethal force is not used and now you whine when non-lethal force is used. It's NOT escalation when there's more likely odds that the sponge or bean bag round would have got him to give up peacefully. It's just by chance he wasn't affected by the round and he then took more threatening action, which he would have surely ended up doing regardless of the non-lethal round being fired or not.
@@mattlife25he pretended to to aim at them with his handgun. Literally 'hand' gun knowing full well what was going to happen. You nuts have no case whatsoever.
Get out of that liberal planet and come back down to earth. The cops did EVERYTHING with utmost respect for the man but he did not comply. At no point did they harass him or threaten him. He pointed something at them in a shooting position and they had to take action. Period. I'm sure you are one of those "defund all police" people but what that would mean is the rest of us arming up big time and taking the law into our own hands......
I feel like they coulda talk it out if one of the cops hadnt shot him with a 40mm. And it didnt sound like anybody ask for a 40mm either. Sounds like one of the cops just didnt know what do and just assume a 40mm would be a good idea and took action on their own
And it worked, I don't have to worry about him popping up at a 7-11 or Home Depot. You have a dog that has shown signs it may take a human life, yeah it gets put down. FAFO.
@@SexySpork no it didnt lmao. The narrator literally said right after they popped him with the 40mm he took a shooting stance, before that they were talking and he wasnt even being aggressive up until that cop hit him with the 40mm
I wonder if the dispatcher relayed to the officers what he said about if he gets shot at first he’ll shoot back. And if that would have changed the actions they took.

And again the mental issues excuse. This has nothing to do with schizophrenia. He just wanted to die. Less one.
What’s Ruben’s story?
Some thing was bothering him bad enough to wanna die. It’s a shame he didn’t get help.
That's a very secure scene. The way they encircled his position to keep other customers safe was amazing.

Just another COWARD too afraid to do the "deed" himself so he calls the Police with a fake story to lure them there, put on a big show to INTERNATIONALLY get himself shot. His wish was granted.

Genius placement of the zoomed in view directly behind the law & crime logo. 🙄
I would say the Kinetic weapon was an abject failure. It actually quickly and violently escalated the situation.
Could he have been talked down? Maybe, maybe not.
But hitting him with a non-lethal during the time period of trying to talk him off the ledge is asinine.
agree 100%. Man called for help about a kidnapped daughter. All the dispatcher would talk to him about was his frickin gun, which he said he would only use for protection against the people he thought were following him. Her next words when dispatching police should be that we have a man in duress about a kidnapped daughter who may be showing signs of paranoia or mental impairment. But she did not of that, only focusing on his gun and "shooting people". What an epic failure on her part that cost this man his life.
Better to try non lethal first
@spaceshipearth999 You clearly didn't understand what he meant.
Thought the same thing
No. The non lethal only seems asinine in hindsight because it didn't work.
Had it disabled him and enabled them to arrest him successfully. They could wipe their hands clean and go about their day.
Now they'll all live broken lives with PTSD.
Poor cops. I feel for them.
They should have had two or three cops firing non lethals all at the same time.
If you're going to do something do it 110%
Maybe three non lethals hitting him at the same time would've brought him down.
On top of that just shoot both his legs.
He was clearly mentally unstable and possibly on drugs.
Why did they randomly hit him with less lethal? That seemed to be what escalated things...
didn't you hear Sierra carrying water for the killers (the police) by saying they were de-escalating by shooting him? duh; logical of course.
/s
@unknownalien3837 I dunno who Sierra is, and I usually call out the crazies when they deserve it but this one seemed pretty messy and not too justified, unless I'm missing something
'Randomly'.... I think you don't know what that word means.
You have a man, who's acting irrational, not listening to commands, stated to 911 he has a gun and will shoot.
And this man is hanging out in public next to stores and people's cars.
You can't just indefinitely stand off with him. Eventually you need to take some actions, the next step after talking is non-lethal.
What do you suppose the next step is when the public is in danger and he refuses to listen to simple commands
@Maddy-me5hz they should have approached with less lethal and lethal drawn, simple as. They didn't need to shoot with less lethal in that moment, he was half way complying at that point. I probably understand these situations a little better than you.
Like shoot him in the leg? Wide open parking lot he had his hand spread out shot him in the hand?
The dispatchers did their job trying to get him to cooperate. The officers did the same thing, they don't know if he has a gun or not but producing a knife and then taking an attack stance cost him his life.
Pulling on a cop is the stupidest action ever.
Unless your goal is to get shot…
He did that on purpose.. no gun was found on him lol he planned this thoroughly
They should have already recognized that there wasn't something right we came and there's a possibility he wanted to die an hey Rich is treating him like he was a criminal.

The cop had him complying but they failed to apprehend him. Then he began to gain control again and the other officer shot him with a beanbag round during the negotiations which caused him to freak out (as most would) and then they all shot him.
Tragic.
yeah, i dont know why they would shoot him with that.
Cause he obliviously isn't wanting to comply fully , he was mental and needing to be put down, u don't sit there and pull out a gun infront of 10 cops cause u got hurt from a bean bag 😂
Why not use a taser? Getting shot with a fake bullet will just make someone scared and angry
@@jerryg3652 And a taser may not work at all and achieve the same result, they aren't exactly the most reliable tool.
@@cormaro13 There was NO GUN. You obviously haven't been paying attention. He did not "pull out" anything, he raise his hands to his face to shield the non-lethal crap they were shooting at him. Also, he called 911 for help about his kidnapped daughter and only mentioned a gun to the dispatcher because he felt he was being followed. He was a victim calling for help when the police arrived, but instead they treated him like a dangerous criminal the whole time. It seems he was showing signs of psychological issues, mental impairment or paranoia, but the cops never asked about any of it. All they could do was focus on their perception that he was a dangerous man with a gun, and completely forgetting that this man called 911 for help. I also blame the dispatcher who only wanted to focus on talking to the man about his gun and his comment about possibly needing to shoot the people who are following him for protection. She didn't engage with him about his kidnapped daughter, or why he felt people were following him. All she could thing about was "man... at Home Depot... with a gun... wanting to shoot people". And that is what she probably conveying when dispatching the cops. Instead of seeing this a possibly impaired and scared individual who called for help and would help. Major fail by all of these people that ended this poor mans life. This is why people fear calling 911. They become the target subject and are immediately deemed to be a threat. God help you if you are in a state of psychosis or have any kind of mental of physical impairment (deaf, can't speak, neurological disorder, etc). If you don't comply with their barking out 97 complex commands and miss one, BOOM, you're dead too.
at times he seems fairly clear-minded and paying attention to them and other times seems to drift and not pay much attention. not sure why
ST.. he was contemplating if he was ready to die or not. That's why he was breathing deeply. He was just getting them ready so it looked real. This was his plan ultimately.
Upon hearing his first words on the 911 call, I think most of us knew his remaining time on this earth would be short.
i’d say he was calm and determined
The thumbnail literally says police shot him at Home Depot…
So many people calling 911 for help also end up being shot. To cops, everyone appears to be a violent dangerous criminal. This dispatcher should loser her job (at a minimum). She never asked the man about his daughter, or why he thought he was being followed (a major hit that this could be a person with psychological issues, mental impairment, or extreme paranoia). Rather, she only asked him about his gun, and about his brief comment that he may have to use if for protection against the people following him. This was not a threat from some criminal aggressor, that was a scared victim calling 911 for help and protection. And for that, he is now dead.

I don’t think shooting a sponge at a suspect is deescalation
It's what escalated it, problem is they come up with all these policies and humans should be able to discern and be able to use their brain thru these situations. The guy had some mental breakdown issues, he wasn't dealing with reality. Too many police orders probably caused his brain to go overload and he couldn't deal with it. But don't expect Genius cops to be able to have the capacity to steer thru this, hard and easy to be a cop. The world is in trouble, too many wrong decisions.

yeah i think they did a relatively good job all things considerdered, but that bean bag round thing made this turn much more aggressive. i feel like i've never actually seen those non-lethal rounds have a positive effect in a mental health episode. maybe they work okay if the person is sane and reacting normally to painful stimuli, but against someone who appears to be having a mental breakdown, i've only seen it cause more problems than good results.
Yeah.. but lots of times that tool
Actually helps and the suspects comply. At one point they had to use it since at any given moment that guy was going to lose it and cops would’ve got hammered for not trying it before.

"... rather than diffuse." Is that what you meant to say?
Absolutely not. All she talked to him about was his gun. Nothing about his kidnapped daughter or why he thought he was being followed to try to understand if he is showing sings of mental impairment, psychological issues, or extreme paranoia. Instead, she dispatched cops to the scene, describing him as a man with a weapon who "wanted to shoot people". Like, WTF???? That is why this man is dead. He was calling for help, remember?
@@privatename3621 Just what, exactly, do you think the duties and qualifications of a dispatcher are? Their paramount duty is to relay information which primarily protects their colleagues on the front line; you think they have the time or inclination to psychoanalyse each caller?
I cannot believe that you laid the blame on the dispatcher. Your post is so wrong-headed from start to finish.
@@bayadere8308 I'm not a trained dispatcher and even I know this man was in need of mental help care. But there was also a chance that what he was saying was also 100% correct. Again, the dispatcher ignored the reason for his call, dismissed his allegations of a missing or kidnapped daughter or his grave concern about being following and needing to protect himself, and instead hounded him about the gun and "who he wanted to shoot". So she erroneously translated his call for assistance into a dispatch to police as "man... with gun... at Home Depot... talking about shooting people..." And now this man is dead. What an epic failure of those who wear the badge and are sworn to "serve and protect". All they did was keep escalating the situation higher and higher, instead of trying to calmly and patiently talk this man "off the ledge".
Bottom line: He was a potentially paranoid man sitting alone in his van, who called 911 for assistance. Multiple police units surrounded his van with guns drawn, and with bullet proof vests and shields immediately began treated him like he was a dangerous criminal looking to shoot them.
This is 2023. Have the cops really not learned anything over the last 10 years with dozens of senseless and horrible deaths raised to national attention due to excessive use of force? Yet another man who posed no threat is now dead.

Why not just sneak up behind the guy and disarm him??? You couldn't have done that? Im pretty sure shoot to kill is last resort and not to mention the whole thing could have easily been prevented
I feel like they kinda went the wrong path there. He blatantly told the dispatcher "If people start shooting at me, I'm gonna shoot back", and what did they do? Shot at him, albeit with a 40. In the end, dude chose his own way though.
This was bad police work. Absolutely dropped the ball and unfortunately now a man lost his life. First, no one was ready when the officer talking to him had him ready to be cuffed up. Then half the cops there didn't know the one cop was going to shoot the non lethal gun. Wth

You people are really something. That's NOT "escalation of force". Everyone whines when non-lethal force is not used and now you whine when non-lethal force is used. It's NOT escalation when there's more likely odds that the sponge or bean bag round would have got him to give up peacefully. It's just by chance he wasn't affected by the round and he then took more threatening action, which he would have surely ended up doing regardless of the non-lethal round being fired or not.
He either was on drugs or has mental issues. I don't think the story about the daughter was true.
