Footage shows 5 Utah cops fire into BMW of man during traffic stop
Authorities released footage of five Utah cops yelling “gun” and firing a barrage of bullets into the BMW of a man who was pulled over and then refused most of the officers’ commands before shots rang out.
The bodycam video detailed the moment police officers in Farmington, a Utah suburb, shot and killed 25-year-old Chase Allan on March 1. He refused to hand over his driver’s license and declined other police commands as he recited anti-governmental views, footage indicates.
Farmington Police Chief Eric Johnsen said officers only fired after Allan reached down to what the cops believed could be a holster or a gun.
But Johnsen, during a Wednesday press conference, also acknowledged the footage is not clear leading up to the shooting because the bodycams’ view of Allan’s hip holster is blocked by the car door and an officer leaning in to yank him out just as another cop warned of a gun.

Are you a police officer cranking out death porn? The police are only as good as the government that employs them and right now we are being ruled by thugs.
I've never heard of a Sovereign Citizen driving a BMW but there's a first time for everything!
Something to be aware of is “sympathetic firing” (taken from “sympathetic detonation” of explosives.
One cop shoots, they all shoot. It first came to attention in the Ammadou Diallo case in NYC.

These were local Farmington Police. It seems like you're referring to the Biden administration. That's quite a leap.
Yeah we are being ruled by thugs who are encouraging anarchy, murder, smash and grab robberies, open borders, no bail, no jail, anti-cop attitudes everywhere. If you want more of that kind of lawless hell I’m sure Mexico has some places you can live
What kind of license plate is on the rear of that BMW?
I hope there are going to be riots with folks carrying "Justice fo' Chase" signs everywhere. Maybe shut down the entire country with riots over this shooting.
The fish rots from the head. And no, I was not referring to the federal government exclusively. New Mexico is ruled by Marxist as well so it is a very good assumption that Farmington, though it has many fine people, is ruled by control-freak, marxist thugs as well.
Police are merely the paid enforcers of the government. When government is bad so are are their enforcers.
“...could be...”
???
Boy howdy did they turn that guy into swiss cheese.
Diallo that is...
“ he recited anti-governmental views”
These are the same type of nutballs who refuse to pay tax and complain when the irs comes for them
All this drama for a traffic stop?
1) Why did the cops pull the kid over? Did the kid have reason to distrust the cops? Was there a previous history?
2) The driver was belligerent from the get go. The cop was trying to reason with him.
3) It seems both sides panicked when the car door was open. The driver would not have been shot if he had just voluntarily got out. Maybe he was afraid the cops were going to beat him up as has happened so much lately with other citizens.
4) Currently, law enforcement have a real public relations problem, starting at the top with the corrupt FBI. Few people trust the police for good reason.
You suggest you know a lot more about the victim than what is in the article. Where did you get such insights?
He sounded like Darrell Brooks,
Of course I wasn't there and don't know the details.

” .......as they two argued over the law.”
That is where the cop made his first mistake. He did not write the law, his job is to enforce the law. Enforce the laws as written by elected representives of the people. Laws are to be argued in court or in city, county, state or national legislatures.
He should ask himself, “How would Deputy Frank handle this?”
