The body-camera video that helps put an attempted murderer behind bars
Headline should be “Black Man Shot in Violent Police Altercation”
That should get more attention.
Should be required viewing for all BlackLivesMatter crowd.
Up NEXT on fox and friends
It’s a long 9 minutes from the time the LEO tells dispatch that he has been shot until the first responders arrive.
He had just his taser out, on a man who was disobeying his orders and refused to take his hand out of his pocket (where it turns out he had a gun).
If the officer had his taser in his left hand, and his right hand on his gun, he could have shot the perp as soon as he made a move. But then Black Lives Matter would have gotten involved.
Kudos for Mr. Tompkins and the lady for rendering aid and comfort to the officer.
Never approach a suspect with a tazer....and if you do, taze them .00002 seconds after they don’t comply. THIS video will be used at CCW and LEO Academies on what not to do. Kudos to the cop. Glad he made it....too bad suspect was captured alive.
Wasn't Black Lives Matters already involved? Didn't they unfortunately shape the officer's response thus allowing him to get shot?
Thank God he survived.
Bump!
1-Waited too long to taze him.
2-It was time to have his weapon drawn and aimed at the subject.
Tense video from South Carolina.
