Distressing bodycam video captured the moment police in Westchester County fatally shot a man accused of stealing fruit – which his father described as a “modern-day lynching.”
Three New Rochelle cops — identified as Kari Bird, Gabrielle Chavarry and Detective Steven Conn — confronted Jarrell Garris, 37, at a grocery store on July 3, according to Fox News.
“What were you doing in the store? You were eating the food?” one of the two female cops asks Garris as he walks away.
Conn tells Garris he is under arrest, but he begins to struggle with the officers as they try to handcuff him.
“Tase him! Tase him! Tase him!” Conn yells.
“He’s got a gun! He’s got a gun!” the cop then yells as Garris appears to place his hand on the belt of one of the officers.

Interesting. My last name descends from a Huguenot settler in New Netherlands in 1645. He eventually became a Dutch Reform pastor in Staten Island. My father was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and apparently my last name had a certain cachet in that town a hundred years ago.
Not a bad approach, imho.
Yeah...not likely to decrease the number of police shootings, though. Send in the social workers.
I’m sorry your opinion of cops is such that you think they can only shoot suspects. I do understand standards have fallen from those of my youth but cops used to be able to physically restrain suspects without a lot of hardware.
Sarcasm....
