A judge has thrown out a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of a Black man shot and killed by Anchorage police officers in 2019.
Three officers shot Bishar Hassan, a 31-year-old Somali American, when he walked toward them and pulled out a handgun, later determined to be a BB gun, according to a report by the Alaska Office of Special Prosecutions. The officers had responded to 911 calls about a man with a gun walking into traffic.
The report said Officers Nathan Lewis, Brett Eggiman and Matthew Hall were justified in their use of deadly force. But Hassan's family disputed the reports' findings and sued the officers and the city of Anchorage in 2021.
The family's lawyer, Rex Butler, said in a 2022 interview – shortly after he released video of the shooting – that the officers did not have a valid reason to have contacted Hassan, because Alaska does not have a law against carrying a gun. Butler also said the police dashcam video showed about two minutes had passed from when the officers shot Hassan to when anyone checked on him or attempted to render aid.
Hassan's shooting was the focus of a rally shortly after the video's release that was attended by more than 100 people.
On Monday, a U.S. District Court judge sided with the city and the officers. Judge Sharon Gleason threw out all 11 of the Hassan family's claims, citing video footage of the shooting.
“In sum, the responding officers' conduct was objectively reasonable because Mr. Hassan posed an immediate threat to the safety of the officers when he pulled his gun out of his waistband and pointed it at the officers,” Gleason wrote in her order tossing the claims.

Thank you for the quality post. Haven't seen this one before, either, so that's extra nice.
Poor fucker just wanted to give his gun to the cops as a peace offering. Look what they gave him in return. For shame!
Justified.

Poor little guy was just excited that he finally got that BB gun with his birthday money and just wanted to show it off.

Fuck that family trying to win the ghetto lottery.
I wish the judge would make the parents and the lawyer who sued the city pay the city attorney fees.

Alaska has one of the worst murder rates in the US. Guns are primary. I'm not for shooting and asking questions later but there was just reason to engage here.

I have to imagine this guy is mentally ill and not just having a bad day. Unfortunately he pulled a gun on the police, deserved to get shot and his family are morons. I wish criminals would get shot 100% of the time and I wish there was another option for the mentally ill before something like this happens but it was utterly unavoidable
