Hideous. Even sober, I don’t know if I would have successfully obeyed the cops commands. And why have the suspect crawl toward you? Why not approach him while he is face down, hands extended, legs crossed on the ground? By ordering him to crawl toward the cops, didn’t the COPS force him to act in a way that could allow someone to go for a gun?

That was pretty intense. When an officer has to respond to a “man with gun” call, they must be extremely on edge. This poor guy was in the wrong place, at the wrong time, way too nervous and probably drunk, but boy did he mess up when he turned around. Very unfortunate, but I can understand how this video acquitted the cop of murder.

That’s one lucky cop.

I once had a dog who was very smart but if you yelled at her she would panic and not be able to correctly respond to instructions. She simply would not know what to do and would do the wrong thing hoping it was right. I have known people who responded the same way. This guy appeared to be one of them and it led to his death.

Trigger happy cop executed that dude. Good thing he was white. Only thing that could have been better if he was a biker, then there would be no doubt. /s

Cold blooded murder. This is one of the worst ones, but many, many other police shooting video show a similar dynamic: Police clearly itching to kill and looking for any excuse to shoot as they issue bizarre orders and drag out the tensest part of an arrest as long they can rather than just quickly moving to cuff a surrendering suspect.

Definitely pre-meditated murder. We can just hope that now, with the release of the video, that the cop’s life is made miserable from here on out.

Once again:

The police need to police themselves, or they will be policed. And they won't like it.

This piece of shit should have been fired the day he showed up with that obscene threat engraved on his rifle. Probably sooner. Now, an innocent man is dead ... and the unconvicted murderer is on the loose. How many more innocent people will he kill? How many more psychotic killers are out there wearing cop uniforms, itching for an opportunity to kill? Why are the so-called "good cops" not rooting them out?

Clean up your act, cops. You still have a chance to do it yourselves.

Terrible. Seems to me there were plenty of opportunities for the police to completely disable him and put him in handcuffs. It looks to me like they were intentionally toying with him, just waiting for him to make a fatal mistake.
