Cops Kill Man For Taking An Anxiety Pill (Warning: Disturbing Video)

So fucked up...

The pushback against your opinion on this has to do with the fact we don’t see the part where the suspect tries reaching for the officer’s pistol. That’s what the officer apparently claims.
We don’t see it.
Why wouldn’t a DA charge the officer?
Officer said suspect grabbed at his weapon.
DA takes the word of the officer.
They normally do, don’t they? When cameras aren’t around?
A shame this video doesn’t show what is claimed.

If that was my kid they'd be running as fast as they could.

the suspect was reaching for the cop's gun

good shoot

don't resist, and don't reach for an officer's sidearm

just shows how much of a weakling that cop was

no physical skills whatsoever, just a gun and a finger

fucking weak coward

"Stay calm" is advice that would be helpful to normal people, but people with panic disorders cannot easily "stay calm". He took a pill (probably something like Xanax) to calm him down. Then he had a panic attack. They killed him during the panic attack, like the pigs they are.

I am sick of militarized police who treat the people as enemies by default. The tiniest bit of understanding could have avoided this outcome.

no he reached for a pill then got tackled

then he got mad and easily overpowered that weakling coward cop

then the cop shot once his buddy got the victim off

how embarrassing for this precinct. hope it burns to the fucking ground

these fuckers would have shot him in the back

This is what I mean by militarized pigs treating the people as enemies by default. Why did the cop rush him when he popped the pill? If the cop had simply given him the time to answer "It was a xanax, I have a panic disorder, I'm having an anxiety attack, sorry..." Then this whole chain of events could have been avoided that way.

The cop was in attack mode. The cop figured there was a possibility that man had ingested an illegal drug to hide the drug. The cop prioritized stopping that, so that he could potentially arrest the man for illegal drug possession. The cop chose to unnecessarily escalate because he wanted to make the arrest over being a decent human being.

Thugs in blue.

Guy gets shot and there’s no blood?
He is shot (3) times on 2/22/22 at 3:30 (33) and 39 seconds—
3+9=12 - 1+2=(3).

Here's a link to the video with the docs from the investigation.

I don't think that was anger so much as panic. He had an anxiety disorder. He was having a panic attack. Noticing that he was about to have a panic attack is likely why he popped that pill, but captain jackass probably thought that the action of popping that pill was an attempt to hide illegal drugs, so the pig escalated things immediately. Gotta make that arrest!

Except, oops, it wasn't an illegal drug. It was a prescription drug for panic attacks.

I don't know if you have ever had a panic attack before, but in the midst of a panic attack, it's hard to think straight, and it's hard to remain still.

this

as soon as you talk you enter into a verbal contract

you can just say, 'no contract', and wait for their supervisor and/or your lawyer.

Yep. Reminds me of this recent incident where the sheriff's deputy on a power trip head slammed an innocent guy going to work:

Brutal!

If we could just defund the police a little more and mainstream more severely mentally ill people , we could have a real bloodbath out there !

Brutal!

If we could just defund the police a little more and mainstream more severely mentally ill people , we could have a real bloodbath out there !

not arguing but he clearly did not like being touched, and said so as soon as the weakling grabbed his arm

You know the answer (yes we would), you're just trolling with your 'racist' card.

Give it a break.

Will some people not like you because you're black? Yes.

Just like you most likely don't like white people.

You can't legislate "feelings".

This is a clear case of the cops being wrong, regardless of the color of the guy's skin.

I hope the victim in the second video breaks the insurance company for his treatment. Just a guy on the way to work!
The cop needs a heavy chain for a flotation device and dropped into a deep body of water.

At least he was fully vaxxinated.

The family of a man who was fatally shot last year at a middle school while students were being picked has sued, alleging unlawful use of force by Colorado deputies.

Richard Ward, 32, was with his mother, Kristy Ward Stamp, and her boyfriend on Feb. 22, 2022, to pick up his younger brother from Liberty Point International Middle School, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for Colorado. Pueblo County sheriff's deputies approached Ward after they received a report that he had been opening doors of nearby vehicles in the pickup waiting area, officials have said.

Ward stepped out of his mother's SUV for a "brief walk," mistook another white SUV for hers and got in the wrong vehicle, the lawsuit says. He apologized to the woman who was driving after he realized his mistake and returned to his mother's vehicle, the suit says.

Minutes later, according to the suit, Deputy Charles McWhorter approached the vehicle to speak with Ward. Video from McWhorter's body-worn camera shows him approaching the SUV and greeting Ward, who opens his door to talk to the deputy.

"Wow, calling the cops on me? Just looking for my little brother," Ward says upon seeing McWhorter.

McWhorter asks for the brother's name, and Ward stumbles providing it, according to the video. When Ward was asked whether he had forgotten who his brother was, his mother interjected that the man has two brothers. Ward said he was just "messing" with the deputy and then asked McWhorter why he was touching his arm.

The lawsuit alleges Ward's rights were violated under both the federal and the state constitutions through excessive use of force. Ward's family is demanding a jury trial.

“We consider this an extraordinarily compelling case of unjustified police brutality, leading to the death of a young man with devastating consequences for his mother and family,” said Darold Killmer, an attorney representing Ward’s family. “The family has asked us to secure justice for Richard, and we intend to do so.”

Killmer said the deputies had no basis to believe Ward had committed a crime.

“We consider this an extraordinarily compelling case of unjustified police brutality, leading to the death of a young man with devastating consequences for his mother and family,” Killmer said.

not allowed to watch the video ? or to lazy to go to youtube and watch it ...get the

Siding with S.O. on this one.

Let's see: Trying to burglarize the cars in the parking lot.
Carrying narcotics on a school campus.
Resisting arrest.
Grabbing an officer's gun.
Having a history of domestic violence with alcohol and drug charges. Prior arrests for B&E and Aggravated assault and assaulting an officer.

I think we're good here.

They're also dumber than a box of rocks because literally every time in human history the meathead cops side with their paymasters.

Show me when the cops have arrested ANYBODY rich and powerful? They kill Epstein, another Clinton victim ruled suicide, they poison us with opiates and vaccines, start WW3 with Russia/China etc.

It's dark times we're living.

The cop that killed him knew he effed up. Did you see the fear and shock in that cops' demeanor.....guilty of first degree murder....shouldn't be a cop...bad karma coming your way pig!
