Cops shoot two bystanders while killing New Mexico knifeman who stabbed Good Samaritan
Daily Mail ^ | 7/21/23 | Noa Halff

Shocking new video footage shows the moment New Mexico police officers shot two bystanders while taking down a 25-year-old man who stabbed a Good Samaritan in the neck after being offered a free meal last month.

Officers Brenda Johnson, Eric Wilensky, Violet Baca and Christian Cordova fatally shot Jeramiah Salyards, 25, while also shooting two unnamed bystanders - striking one victim at least four times, causing serious injuries.

[snip]

At one point, Salyards appeared to try to stand up while police fired another two gunshots at him, leading him to collapse on the sidewalk.

Following the shooting, one officer mistakenly tries to arrest one of the victims while another intervenes.

Salyards died of his injuries. One of the bystanders hit by officers' gunfire was struck in the knee and was treated and released that night from the hospital.

The bystander in the blue jacket was shot several times and suffered critical injuries. He was hospitalized for several weeks following the shooting and it currently still at the hospital going through rehabilitation.

The police shooting occurred on June 29, at about 9:30 pm, after Albuquerque officers responded to a 911 call of stabbing at a McDonald's. Bodycam footage of the incident has just been released.

I have a friend who instructs LEO’s in shotgun training. He often says the safest place when they are practicing is in front of them. Not true for some as I regularly shoot with some who are very good but as you mentioned these guys do practice.

I would sue them for so much, it would put the department out of business.

“One knife wielder and four cops.

Bunch of feminized assholes.”

A knife is not a gun. Even if he threw the knife at them the chance of serious injury is pretty low.

They took away officers used of personal pistols, then they started requiring college degrees. Then they vastly expanded internal affairs where they literally have one IA guy for each field officer. Then they started aggressively pushing for females, gays, minorities and people with a therapeutic mentality

The college degree thing always made me laugh. What a sweetheart deal for all the college$...

Aside from the fact that if the course does not include any Constitutional law it is worthless to the public they will serve.

I see the APD went into instant CYA mode and tried to arrest the innocent bystanders they’d shot. This would have helped to mitigate their accountability.

And many of the best cops ever seen went into it because their dad and brother did. A stint in the army Maybe and then out to a department. At 3am when there’s a lunatic breaking in your door, that’s who you want coming. Not some kid who went from high school to college and got a degree in sociology.

“So I guess you believe the military is also a bunch of “feminized assholes.”

If you don’t know the vast difference between the military and police you’re stupid. Why are you being stupid?

Stop gaslighting. If you think only one cop should confront one suspect with a knife, you're the one who need to recalibrate, not me.

So you tell me, since you are an expert on tactics. How many cops should be allowed to confront a suspect with a deadly weapon? I look forward to your enlightened reply.

I don’t have the slightest inclination to address your bullshit premises. They have nothing to do with the original post.

Further: When you drag in apples to address a discussion of oranges you’re wasting everyone’s time as welll as being so pathetically desperate to make a point that you fail to see that the terms you use are invalid.

A cop isn’t a soldier. A cop can’t do what a soldier does . Not even remotely. It’s pretty sad that I seem to have to explain that to you.

“Coward” because I won’t answer a false premise you lugged in to the argument by it ears? Why don’t you wait until you have a case before you go after somebody instead of trying to fake one. Debate fail.

As far as a knife a wielding guy goes any cop ought to be able to handle it alone otherwise what good is he? Cops of the past understood this because they were Men. They knew their department, their fellows and their community had expectations of them. This straddling the line between chaos and peace with THEMSELVES is what made their job so indefinably hard and thankless. How the hell do you even hire a cop who can’t do the job? (Oh, wait, we do that routinely now every day in every place on every force) Of course the feminized ones today need a whole platoon to piss their girly pants and pray and spray. I’ve seen a knife wielder handled by one I’ve seen one handled by six. No one dead. No bullets flying all over the neighborhood.

Wouldn’t want to be an innocent bystander walking around anywhere a guy like YOU patrols.

Ah, I see now. You’re just an angry old man who wanders around FR making miserable comments and then lashes out when anyone calls you on them and asks you to clarify your silly remarks. Carry on, old silly man.
