Suicidal man charges towards Tustin police with a knife and gets killed (multiple POVs)

Original video:

Tustin, California, United States

January 8, 2023

On Sunday, January 8, 2023, at approximately 7:32 a.m., the SAPD received a 9-1-1 call of a suspicious subject at 902 West Edinger Avenue, Santa Ana. The subject, later identified as Mejia, was reportedly walking down the street with a large butcher knife in his hand. The Reporting Party (RP) indicated the subject was bleeding from his hand.

In an interview with OCDA investigators, Officer Diaz stated that due to all the blood on Mejia and the knife in his hand, Officer Diaz thought Mejia had just stabbed or killed someone. Officer Diaz saw Mejia run toward Officer Newman and Officer Sanchez. It appeared Mejia was going to “attack the officers.” He stated he heard five to eight gunshots and was under the assumption that both Officer Newman and Officer Sanchez fired their handguns. He saw Mejia fall to the street, still holding the knife.

John Doe 1, one of Mejia's roommates, told Detective Schaller that Mejia was speaking on the phone the night prior to the shooting. This conversation was apparently between Mejia and his daughter who lives in El Salvador. John Doe 1 overhead Mejia asking his daughter for “forgiveness for what he did” and that he was going to turn himself into the police. Mejia also seemed to be acting paranoid by stating people were after him and accused his roommates of trying to kill his daughters.

Another roommate, John Doe 2, stated that approximately two months prior to the shooting Mejia had cut his wrist. Mejia was transported to a hospital where he stayed for almost three weeks.

On February 15, 2021, Mejia attempted suicide by driving his car into a pole. College Hospital Costa Mesa medical records indicated a history of suicidal thoughts and self-injurious behavior. As a result, Mejia was placed on a mental health hold for several days.

Frank E. Tyson dies in custody (I cant breath 2) (its called that honest, i dont make fun of those who passed on to better places)

CLEVELAND OHIO


Authorities are investigating the death of a man who struggled with Canton police officers before he lost consciousness last week.

Frank E. Tyson, 53, who is Black, yelled and fought with patrolmen for several minutes before they handcuffed him April 18. At one point, an officer placed a knee into Tyson's back while the Canton man was handcuffed, according to an officer's body-camera video.

“I can't breathe,” Tyson said, according to the video.

Police said Tyson was accused of driving his car into a pole and fleeing the scene. Afterward, police say, Tyson ran to the AMVETS on Sherrick Road. A 911 caller said a man, later identified as Tyson, ran into the building and refused to leave. Tyson could be heard yelling in the background.

When police arrived after 8 p.m., a person standing in the doorway told officers, “Please take him out of here now.”

As police approached Tyson, he pulled away, knocking over barstools and shouting, “get the sheriff.” Officers dragged Tyson out of the bar, held him down and handcuffed him, according to body-worn camera footage from one of the officers.

While officers were handcuffing him, one officer placed a knee on Tyson's back, and Tyson said, “I can't breathe” several times, according to the footage.

“You're fine,” one officer responded.

Roughly five minutes later, an officer asked if Tyson had calmed down, to which a different officer says, “He might be out.”


Officers tried to pick up Tyson, and they realized that he was not breathing. They then began CPR before paramedics arrived and took over.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is examining the death. The two officers involved in the case have been placed on administrative leave. Canton Mayor William Sherer promised transparency and said he showed members of the Tyson family the body-camera footage before it was released.

“This investigation is in the hands of BCI, and we will continue to provide them with all the required information they need to do their work,” Sherer said. “Given this is a pending investigation, we are limited on what further information we can provide.”

Tyson had been out of prison for only 12 days, following a nearly 24-year sentence for charges including burglary and kidnapping, according to records from the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.

He had been in prison twice before that, serving less than three years in the 1990s

Tukwila, Washington, United States

Seattle police released new bodycam video Friday evening that shows the moments leading up to officers fatally shooting a suspected child predator at a Tukwila hotel earlier this week.

Seattle Police Department (SPD) Chief Adrian Diaz said the 67-year-old child predator suspect arrived at the DoubleTree Suites hotel around 3:13 p.m. on Wednesday under the impression that he was meeting two young girls, ages 7 and 11.

However, unbeknownst to the suspect, multiple SPD officers with the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce were undercover and waiting to arrest the man.

The newly released video shows the officers opening the door for the man, who immediately flashed a gun. A scuffle then occurred before police ultimately fatally shot the man. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

Officials at the scene said a Seattle officer was grazed by a bullet on their leg during the shootout with the man.

Cop Run Over People With His Car

26 March 2023

A Sandy police officer fatally shot a reportedly suicidal man about seven seconds after ordering the 33-year-old to show his hands, body camera footage released Friday shows.

The man's brother had called police at about 1 a.m. on March 26 for help, prompting an officer to respond. Dylan Murphy had left a home in Sandy while seriously injured, suicidal and experiencing a mental health crisis, police said.

The responding officer found Murphy walking along 1000 East near 11640 South, officials said. When the officer called out to him, Murphy didn't seem to react and kept walking, body camera footage shows.

The officer reported to police dispatch that Murphy had his right hand concealed in a jacket, and officials said Friday that the family was not sure if Murphy had a weapon at the time — because Murphy had harmed himself earlier in the evening, officials said.

About a minute and a half after the officer began following Murphy in his patrol vehicle, Murphy can be seen turning around and starting to walk toward the officer. The officer then gets out of his car and commands Murphy show his hands.

Murphy starts running toward the officer, body camera footage shows, and the officer aims his firearm at Murphy while commanding him to show his hands for a second time.

The officer then shouts “Hands!” at Murphy twice more before firing his weapon at least three times — about seven seconds after his first command to Murphy, the footage shows.

It's unclear if Murphy was struck by the officer's initial gunfire; the officer was running backward while shooting at Murphy, and at one point fell on his back.

Once the officer gets up, he shouts three more times for Murphy to show his hands, the footage shows. Murphy then charges the officer, and the officer shoots at Murphy twice more.

At that point, Murphy falls to the ground, groaning and panting. It's unclear in the video if any of those shots struck Murphy.

The officer then yells again for Murphy to show his hands, and orders Murphy to roll over, the footage shows.

“Come on, man,” Murphy seems to reply, still lying on his stomach. Murphy then rolls over with his hands in the air, and the officer commands him to then roll back onto his stomach, to which he complies.

The officer then orders Murphy to keep his arms out, but Murphy instead tries to get up off the ground. The officer repeatedly commands Murphy to remain where he is.

“Stay on the ground. I will shoot,” the officer says, but Murphy moves to a crawling position before standing up and walking toward the officer.

The officer shouts three more commands, then shoots Murphy in the torso over the course of about 13 seconds, the footage shows. Murphy then falls to the ground, and died due to his injuries.

“All of our officers are equipped with less-lethal forms [of force] — whether it be Taser, [pepper spray] or baton,” Sandy police Chief Greg Severson said Friday. “As you can see from the video, this incident escalated extremely quickly. Typically during deadly force encounters like this situation, especially with an officer being alone, we do not train our officers to use less than lethal mitigation when they're alone.”

Severson said Murphy had a “history” with the department, but did not specify Friday what that history was.

Throughout the confrontation — which lasted a little over three minutes between the officer's initial sighting of Murphy to when Murphy was fatally shot — there was only one Sandy police officer present.

Severson said a second officer was redirected to the scene from another assignment, so that's why it “took some time.”

According to the footage, the sole responding officer fired his weapon about six times at Murphy. Officials said exactly how many times Murphy was struck will be investigated according to “officer-involved critical incident” protocol.

The officer, who was not identified, remains on paid administrative leave. He has been a member of the department since March 2021, Severson said.

SANDY, Utah — On Friday, Sandy Police released camera video of the night an officer shot and killed 33-year-old Dylan Murphy.

His sister, Laecie Horn, has now watched that video of her brother's death several times.

“He was a good human. That's it. He really was a good man, good little brother,” she said.”

She said Dylan battled addiction and mental health issues, which is why her other brother KC called police on that night, March 26th.

He reported Dylan had severely slit his wrists and KC was scared he was going to bleed out.

“He's tried to check himself in, he told me he's having thoughts they were intrusive. He really wanted help,” she said.

She said she is still in disbelief that her brother is gone.

“I find myself calling his phone on accident,” said Horn, “Just the other day. I miss him very much and I don't know what I'm gonna go through without it.”

She compared the police body camera and dash camera footage with a neighbor's Ring camera footage, and Laecie said things don't add up.

“There's no lights on, he didn't turn them on,” she said, “And then this video ends. So, where's the rest of the shootings he just did, why did they have to cut that out? I'm confused.”

She said the Ring camera video shows the car lights turned on, which a neighbor said happened after he woke up from the sounds of the original gunshots.

“That officer clearly fired another shot with his lights on,” she said. “He shoots another round into my brother who I clearly know at this point from seeing their footage that he was already dead. I wanna know specifically why the officers that I gave all that trust to specifically I didn't go crazy this whole entire time, I trusted them. I waited for the footage to come out before I made any type of assumptions, and I've seen how crazy my brother was but then they doctored stuff.”

She said she does forgive the officer.

“I just hope that this officer gets the chance to come to terms with whatever happened that night,” Horn said.

She also added that she hopes it never happens to another family again, and that there are better resources for those struggling with mental health issues and addiction, as well as the police response to cases like Dylan's.

“I have to say if I was the officer in the situation, I couldn't say that I wouldn't defend myself, but I also would have been paying attention to surroundings and knowing, hey, I've got this guy that I really want to, I want to get down out of this mental health situation. Let me get to him somehow safer or you know let him feel more calm about me,” she said.

Her wish is that Dylan's story will bring people together to get people like her brother the help that they need.

“I hope that we can just become a community and figure it out together as a team,” Horn said.

SANDY, Utah (KUTV) — The father and brother of Dylan Murphy, a 33-year-old man from Sandy, who was killed in an officer-involved shooting last month, are seeking answers from the police.

According to Kevan Murphy, Dylan's father, he decided not to watch the body camera video as the image of his son lying lifeless in the road would be too painful for him.

When asked about his questions for the police, Kevan said, "Why shoot? Why shoot guns instead of taser him?

His father and brother described him as a loving person who adored his children and was lost.

"Not being able to see him or give him a hug ever again is really rough," Kevan said.

7 February 2023

The Milwaukee Police Department on Thursday released redacted bodycam footage of the fatal shooting that left officer Peter Jerving and Milwaukee resident Terrell Thompson dead.

As a second officer is caught in a physical struggle with Thompson, the footage shows Jerving run up to the two to assist in the arrest. Thompson draws a gun and fires at Jerving, forcing him to retreat. But Jerving then runs back again to help.

It's then that both men exchange gunfire, at perhaps point-blank range, killing each other. Both Jerving, 37, and Thompson, 19, suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Jerving was the fifth Milwaukee police officer to die in the line of duty since 2018, and the first since 2019. He was a four-year veteran of the department and was assigned to District Four on Milwaukee's northwest side, where he grew up.

He was lauded by colleagues, friends and family for being a dedicated officer and a thoughtful, caring person outside work as well.

Hours before the shooting, Thompson was in court for sentencing on two misdemeanor hit-and run cases, one of which was dismissed in a plea agreement. He received a year of probation.

His mother, Tamera Brown, told the Journal Sentinel at the time that she was in disbelief about her son's involvement in the shooting and said Thompson seemed to be fine after receiving his sentencing.

The second officer is not named in the video. The wife of Jerving's usual patrol partner of four years told the Journal Sentinel in February that both men were training new officers the night of the shooting.

The second officer never fired his weapon and was not placed on administrative duty, according to police.

An investigation into the incident, led by the Brookfield Police Department, remains ongoing, police said. It will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

The video released Thursday via YouTube is just over eight minutes long and includes limited and edited body camera footage from Jerving and the second officer. Together, they tried apprehending Thompson in the early morning hours of Feb. 7 in connection with an armed robbery that occurred less than two hours beforehand.

The video is accompanied with narration by Assistant Chief Paul Formolo.

According to the video:

Shortly after an armed robbery was reported at 11:31 p.m. Feb. 6 on the 2600 block of West Good Hope Road, Jerving and the second officer identified Thompson as a suspect.

The video includes a radio broadcast Jerving made to other officers sometime after the incident was reported. He identifies Thompson as the suspect and circulates a description of him and of the incident: a man reportedly smacked car keys and a phone out of a woman's hand and made off with her car and phone.

Formolo said Jerving and the second officer later received information that Thompson was possibly in the area of the 2700 block of South 14th Street, on the city's south side.

When they arrived, around 1:14 a.m., they located the stolen vehicle in a parking lot with a man and woman inside. As police approached, the two exited the car and walked toward an apartment building.

Jerving immediately calls out to the man: “Terrell! Terrell! Don't make us run.” The woman stops and raises her arms in the air, but officers continue walking after Thompson until he turns a corner and runs.

The two officers give chase, splitting up as they wind through several buildings.

After Thompson slips on some snow, the second officer catches up with him and a physical struggle ensues. As Jerving arrives and approaches the two, body camera footage shows Thompson producing a handgun.

A gunshot is heard.

“Whoa, (expletive),” Jerving yells.

He retreats and falls down as he does. Two more gunshots are heard.

“Stop!” Jerving said.

The video transitions to footage from Jerving's body camera. Jerving reports shots are fired over the radio. His own handgun is visible as he runs back toward Thompson and the second officer, who are still struggling with each other.

Once Jerving is within arm's reach of the two, another shot is heard and Jerving begins crying out in pain.

At some point, Jerving also returned fire. Both his and Thompson's handguns were recovered afterward. A photo shows Thompson's had an extended magazine.

12 March 2023

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A Pinellas County deputy – who the sheriff described as an experienced law enforcement officer with grit – had surgery Monday morning after he was shot in the neck, hand, and leg while responding to a vehicle burglary report. Officials said the suspect was "waiting" for deputies before firing at them.

Officials said the suspect was "waiting" for deputies before firing at them.

The suspect was identified as 23-year-old Zion Bostick, who was released from state prison exactly one year before Sunday's shooting: March 12, 2022. If it wasn't for a second deputy who was at the call that night, it's possible K9 Corporal Matthew Aitken would've been shot dead by the Bostick, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said.

Sgt. Jacob Viano joined Cpl. Aitken and his K9 Taco as they tried to track down Bostick, officials said.

"If Viano hadn't run with him, he wouldn't be here today," Sheriff Gualtieri said. "Viano was able to kill this guy before he fired additional rounds into Matt while he was laying on the ground."

Before 7 p.m., deputies learned of a vehicle burglary in the 6300 block of 60th Avenue North, an unincorporated area of the county. Chief Anthony Holloway of the St. Petersburg Police Department said they received one report from a witness, who confronted the suspect and began capturing video of him.

Chief Holloway's agency is investigating the deputy-involved shooting as part of the Pinellas County Use of Deadly Force Investigative Taskforce, which was created in 2020. It was started to ensure investigations into law enforcement use of deadly force are objective.

The witness called 911 and explained the suspect was wearing gloves and attempted to break into cars. The individual followed the suspect and provided updates to the agency.

According to the sheriff's office, when deputies arrived, they spotted the suspect at Grace Brethren Church. It's located at 6300 62nd Avenue North.

Investigators said Bostick fled behind the church, through a wooded area, and into a neighborhood. That's when Cpl. Aitken and his K9 Taco began tracking Bostick.

They followed him to the backyard of a home on 60th Avenue North. Cpl. Aitken spotted Bostick trying to hide around the corner of the house, officials said, and "verbally challenged him."

The couple who lives in that home said they heard bullets flying everywhere and hunkered down in their bedroom.

In a news release, deputies said the suspect "immediately fired several rounds at Corporal Aitken." The deputy was struck three times.

"The suspect was waiting for them and as the K9 and the handler cleared the building, that's when the suspect shot at the deputy," explained Chief Holloway.

Chief Holloway said Bostick fired three shots at Cpl. Aitken and three shots at Sgt. Viano. Viano and the K9 weren't hurt.

Sgt. Jacob Viano, who is a former K9 handler himself, managed to "duck out of the way," according to the sheriff's office. The sergeant fired back and Bostick died at the scene.

"He's very thankful for being able to do what he did," Sheriff Gualtieri said. "He did a stellar job being able to assess that threat. He fell down. He got back up. He not only saved his own life, but he saved Matt's life."

Cpl. Aitken was taken to Bayfront Health where he continues to recover. He is expected to be OK, but has several medical issues he now faces. The sheriff didn't elaborate further.

"Matt is, thankfully, one of our more experienced deputies. Because of his experience and grit, Matt survived this," the sheriff explained during Monday's press conference. "Right now, it appears he'll be OK. I think he is going to pull through. He's got a lot of medical issues."

The wounded deputy was hired by the sheriff's office in March 2006.

Cpl. Aitken is 40 years old and has a wife and young daughter, the sheriff said. Sgt. Viano was hired in November 2000 and is 49 years old. He will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation, which is normal protocol.

Chief Holloway said it's always a scary time when law enforcement learns one of their own was injured.

"You don't want that phone call," he offered. "Getting here is the longest drive of your life. It's hard on everybody in the law enforcement community."

Deputies said Bostick had a second handgun in his right pocket that was reported stolen out of Manatee County.

Officials said Bostick didn't appear for a court hearing on March 7 for attempted burglary and driving with a suspended license charges. The sheriff said an arrangement was made for him to plead guilty.

"He told his mom he would not go back to prison," Chief Holloway said.

"He simply didn't want to go back to prison," Sheriff Gualtieri said. "He decided he was going to kill two deputy sheriffs. That's the type of people out there that we deal with."

In regard to the witness who confronted Bostick, the police chief said it is not a move he would recommend.

"I wouldn't take it to the next level," Chief Holloway said. "He went and confronted the guy. We want you to call us and if you can keep an eye on the person, please do that. But don't try to confront the person. Thank God nothing happened to that gentleman but at the same time he did the right thing because he saw someone commit the crime in his community and he didn't want that in his community."

According to the sheriff's office, Bostick "had an extensive criminal history" that dates back to when he was 17 years old. Gualtieri said Bostick was arrested 18 times, including 34 different felonies and 22 different misdemeanor charges. Those charges, Gualtieri said, include grand theft, drug crimes and crimes with guns, and Bostick has gone to state prison twice.

The Pinellas County Use of Deadly Force Investigative Taskforce is comprised of officials from four local law enforcement agencies: Clearwater Police Department, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, St. Petersburg Police Department, and the Pinellas Park Police Department.

Sheriff Gualtieri said the body camera footage will be released to the public after the investigation is complete.

"People need to see what bad guys like this do to good cops."


He survives:

https://www.fox13news.com/news/pinellas-deputy-shot-during-ambush-has-been-released-from-the-hospital-officials-say

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - With his daughter's hand around his own, Corporal Matthew Aitken walked out of the front doors of Bayfront Hospital in St. Pete, just a few days after he was shot three times while on duty.

Law enforcement, barking K9s, and loved ones were lined up on each side of the exit as the Pinellas County deputy strolled toward an undercover patrol car, taking deep breaths. Before he entered the front passenger seat, he turned toward his peers in uniform and raised his right fist.

After the deputy left the hospital, the sheriff told reporters that Cpl. Aitken told him he wants to get back to work.

"He's a tough guy," Sheriff Gualtieri stated. "But he needs to take it easy. He's got a bullet in his neck, his leg is OK, he's got problems with his wrist, but I have no doubt that he'll come back and he'll come back strong because that's who he is."

"It's a happy day because Sunday was a terrible day," he added. "Today could've been a funeral day."

"Matt is, thankfully, one of our more experienced deputies. Because of his experience and grit, Matt survived this," the sheriff explained during Monday's press conference, adding that he believes the deputies were "ambushed."

Cpl. Aitken is 40 years old and has a wife and young daughter, the sheriff said. Sgt. Viano was hired in November 2000 and is 49 years old. He will be placed on administrative leave during the investigation, which is normal protocol.

Deputies said Bostick had a second handgun in his right pocket that was reported stolen out of Manatee County. On Friday, Sheriff Gualtieri said the weapon used was also stolen. Both were from unlocked vehicles.

"Please, people lock your cars," he said. "If you have your guns in your cars, lock your doors. Be responsible gun owners."

The sheriff also wanted to remind the public that when Officer Charles Kondek of the Tarpon Springs Police Department was shot and killed in 2014, the suspect used a stolen weapon.

PINELLAS COUNTY - The State Attorney's Office (SAO) released the results of their investigation into a shooting involving a Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Sergeant and Corporal, who was shot multiple times.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:13 p.m. on March 12, 2023, at 6385 60th Avenue North in St. Petersburg. The results of the SAO investigation were released on Wednesday, March 22, 2023.

State Attorney Bruce Bartlett concluded in a letter that was sent to Sheriff Bob Gualtieri stating, “I have determined that K-9 Deputy Matthew Aitken and Sergeant Jacob Viano were in the lawful performance of their legal duties when they pursued Zion Bostick for the felony charge of Burglary to a Conveyance when they confronted Bostick at the rear of the residence at 6385 60th Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida, and commanded Bostick to raise his hands. When Bostick responded by shooting Deputy Aitken three times and shooting at Sergeant Viano three times, Sergeant Viano was justified in utilizing deadly force to kill Bostick who was engaged in the forcible felony of Attempted Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer. Therefore, it is the conclusion of the Office of the State Attorney that the death of Zion Bostick was justifiable homicide pursuant to F.S. §776.05(1), F.S. §776.012 and F.S. §776.032.”

Video from a Fairfax County police officer's body camera, made public Thursday, shows an officer fatally shooting a man suffering a mental health crisis in his McLean home July 7 as the man charged at three officers, wielding a wine bottle like a club. The man's parents reacted to the video by saying the killing “cannot be justified,” and noting their son was “5′ 6, slightly built, and holding just a bottle and a decorative mask.”

“We recognize that, at times, police officers face grave and unknown dangers in the line of duty, but that was not the case for that call at our home regarding our son,” the couple said.

Police Chief Kevin Davis said the shooting is still being investigated.

“Our officers were confronted with a very chaotic and dangerous situation,” Davis said in releasing the footage at a news conference. “I want to be careful not to offer any assessments or any opinions,” given the ongoing investigation. “But I think it's clear to see from the video that that was a very active and chaotic incident.”

The deadly encounter began unfolding shortly after 8:30 p.m., when officers arrived in the 6900 block of Arbor Lane. There, in his parents' spacious house, Jasper Aaron Lynch, 26, was behaving erratically in the throes of a mental health crisis, his sister told the officers after meeting them in front of the residence. Lynch's parents were not home and no one else was in the house.

After discussing Lynch's condition for several minutes with the sister, the three officers opened the front doors and stepped into a large foyer area, the video shows. One or more of them called out “Aaron,” as Lynch was commonly known. Lynch suddenly appeared at the opposite end of the foyer, holding a large decorative tribal mask made of wood in one hand and a wine bottle in the other.

In a span of about 20 seconds, officers can be heard urging him at least eight times to “put it down.”

“Aaron, are you all right?” one said.

“Bud, it's okay, you're not in trouble,” said another.

The video shows Lynch yelling as he hurled the wooden mask at one of the officers. Then he charged toward the doorway where the officers were standing, raising the wine bottle by its neck with two hands in what Davis called “an aggressive act.” Two of the officers fired Tasers at him but Lynch kept coming, according to the video.

“I think it's safe to say they were several feet away,” Davis said of the officers. “And both Taser prongs have to hit in order for it to take effect. Again, our investigation will reveal if, in fact, those Tasers hit, if they took effect, and if they didn't, why not.”

As Lynch, wielding the bottle, reached the front entrance, Officer Edward George, a 10-year member of the force, shot him four times. The video shows Lynch collapsing on the threshold and crawling a few feet before being subdued. Asked if it is possible that George mistook his gun for his Taser, the chief said, “There's no preliminary investigative information that I'm aware of that suggests that that's the case.”

Davis said George is on “administrative” working status, with no public contact, pending the outcome of two parallel inquiries, one to determine if the shooting was a crime, the other to ascertain if any department rules were violated. Efforts to reach George were not immediately successful.

“We believe that the three police officers … could have, and should have, handled this far differently,” Lynch's parents, Patrick and Kathy Lynch, said in a statement after the news conference. Describing their son as “scared” by his loss of mental control, they said, “To respond to Aaron's mental health crisis by shooting him at all, let alone multiple times, cannot be justified.”

The couple added, “As parents, we mourn the heartbreaking loss of our son and are left with only memories and regret.”

Davis said he sympathizes with the family and declined to comment on the parents' statement.

Davis said the tragic outcome was rare, given the volume of calls that Fairfax police receive about people in emotional or psychiatric distress. Of the 6,700 such calls that officers have responded to so far this year — an average of about 33 per day — they have used force, lethal and nonlethal, “less than one percent of the time,” the chief said.

The department has embraced “a co-responder philosophy” in which a mental health clinician, when available, accompanies police officers on calls such as the one involving Lynch. Earlier that evening, between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., officers and a clinician went to the Lynch home for an initial report of a mental health crisis. But when they arrived, Lynch had left the house, and officers couldn't find him, police said.

When officers were called again, shortly after 8:30, the clinician — the only one working with police so far — was unavailable.

“This clinician had moved on to another location at the conclusion of his tour of duty to complete some administrative paperwork,” Davis said. He noted that the three officers who responded to the second call had all received advanced crisis-intervention training.

Davis said the department will soon begin phase two of the co-responder program, with two clinicians on the payroll instead of one. Months from now, in the fourth and final phase, the department plans to have 16 clinicians working with officers in the field, the chief said.


https://www.fox5dc.com/news/family-criticizes-fairfax-co-police-for-fatally-shooting-man-suffering-from-mental-health-crisis

Shortly after the police bodycam video was released by Fairfax County police, Jasper Lynch's parents — Pat and Kathy Lynch — released a statement:

"Our son, Aaron, was experiencing a severe mental health crisis on July 7. He was scared and asked for both of the 911 calls that were made that day. We believe that the three police officers who answered the second 911 call could have, and should have, handled this far differently," the statement reads. "To respond to Aaron's mental health crisis by shooting him at all, let alone multiple times, cannot be justified. We recognize that, at times, police officers face grave and unknown dangers in the line of duty, but that was not the case for that call at our home regarding our son. Aaron was about 5' 6", slightly built, and holding just a bottle and a decorative mask.

"As parents, we mourn the heartbreaking loss of our son and are left with only memories and regret. Had we known there was any possibility that the police responding to the second 911 call would use lethal force against Aaron during a mental health crisis, we would not have involved them until a mental health counselor could be present, as was the case for the response to the first 911 call. We hope our efforts to find out more about this incident will, in the future, help families in similar situations avoid such a tragic outcome."

MCLEAN, Va. — Three Fairfax County Police officers will not face charges, in connection to the shooting death of Jasper Aaron Lynch in 2022.

An officer shot and killed 26-year-old Lynch inside his home in Mclean on July 7, 2022, after they'd responded to calls that he was having a mental health episode.

The FCPD officers were identified as Officers George, Kirsch and Pak.

"My review of this incident leads me to conclude that none of the three officers all of whom used some level of force, violated any criminal laws. I therefore decline to bring criminal charges against Officers Pak, Kirsch or George," wrote Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano in a release that was posted on Facebook around 5 p.m. on Friday.

https://patch.com/new-jersey/matawan-aberdeen/body-camera-video-released-old-bridge-police-fatal-shooting

24 April 2023

LAURENCE HARBOR, NJ — Late Tuesday afternoon, New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin released body camera footage of the fatal shooting of a 26-year-old man by an Old Bridge police officer.

This is the fatal shooting that happened April 24 in the Laurence Harbor section of Old Bridge, where Luke Mendez, 26, was fatally shot.

The officer who shot him with his service weapon has been identified as Christopher Hammel of the Old Bridge Police Department.

To date, no criminal charges have been filed against Hammel, and AG Platkin is still investigating.

Previously, Mendez's grieving father, Luke Mendez, 59, told Patch he wants criminal charges filed against the police officer. He said that has not changed with today's video release.

"I don't know what to say … I lost my son to a police shooting," said Mendez Tuesday. "There should've been other options, as per the state Attorney General's guidelines. Not three bullets to end Luke's life."

"I'm devastated. I want to see justice and accountability for my son."

That day, Officer Hammel responded to a 911 call at approximately 3:09 p.m. from the two-story white home on Woodland Avenue in Laurence Harbor. The young man lived in that home with his mother, aunts and grandmother.

Police were called by either his mother or aunts, because cameras had been set up inside the home and they were being stolen or taken down, said Mendez's father, who does not live in the home and was not there the day his son was killed.

"I want to kick him out of the house," an unidentified woman's voice is heard in the 911 call.

Officer Hammel arrived and briefly chatted with two older people in the living room of the home. As he first arrives, the police officer's tone is cheerful and calm.

Then he asks to speak to Luke, and instructs the two adults to remain in the living room.

As the video shows, Luke greeted him at the top of the stairs while holding a knife. The police officer immediately took out his gun, pointed it at the younger man and told him multiple times to drop the knife. Mendez appears visibly upset and asked the officer multiple times to "please just leave."

He then descended down the stairs holding the knife. That's when Hammel fired his service weapon, striking Mendez.

Mendez was transported to Old Bridge Medical Center and was pronounced dead at 4:47 p.m. that same day.

The recordings are being released pursuant to policies established by the Attorney General's Office in 2019 and Gov. Phil Murphy to promote the fair, impartial and transparent investigation of fatal police encounters. Anytime someone is killed by a police officer in New Jersey, the Attorney General has to investigate, and present findings to a grand jury to decide if a crime occurred.

Law enforcement previously met with the slain young man's family last week so they couyuld watch these same recordings before they were released to the public.

"I want everyone involved in this held accountable," Mendez's father, Louis, previously said. "I want the officer to be held liable. He used excessive force and killed my 26-year-old son. I can't bring my son back."

"He's a good kid. A quiet boy who mostly stayed in his room. He didn't deserve this; nobody deserves this," Mendez said through tears in a phone interview in May immediately after his son was killed. "My son was a law-abiding American who was gunned down and killed in his own home. A place where you're supposed to be safe. I thought our state was supposed to make changes to make sure police don't do things like this anymore."

Luke's parents were married for 35 years, but separated four years ago and his father relocated from Laurence Harbor to Jersey City.

Mendez said his son was "very quiet" and often stayed in his room. He did not have a job, and he suffered from on and off depression, said his father.

"I tried to get my son to come up here (to Jersey City) and live with me. He wanted to stay there," he said.

"But he was a good kid," he continued. "He didn't drink, he didn't smoke. He wasn't involved in crime or anything. He was just a quiet, good kid who stayed in his room all the time."

A neighbor on Woodland Avenue, who did want to be named, told Patch there was "always fighting" in the home and that police were called there frequently.


Follow-up:

https://patch.com/new-jersey/matawan-aberdeen/grand-jury-declines-charge-old-bridge-police-officer-who-killed-man

LAURENCE HARBOR, NJ — A grand jury voted not to file any criminal charges against the Old Bridge Police officer who shot and killed Luke Mendez, 26, last April in Laurence Harbor.

Mendez was fatally shot by Old Bridge Police Officer Christopher Hammel on April 24, 2023. A grand jury determined April 8 that Officer Hammel did not do anything illegal, and that he did not use unjustified force when Mendez charged down a staircase at him, with a knife in his hand.

The grand jury heard witness interviews, photographs, video and audio recordings from that day. They voted April 8 of "no bill," meaning no charges would be filed against Hammel.

Minnesota Standoff Ends With 2 Cops Injured & The Suspect Dead, April 10th, 2024

MINNETONKA, Minn. (FOX 9) - Two deputies were hurt and a gunman is dead after an exchange of gunfire at a Minnetonka home, as deputies attempted to arrest a suspect.

The incident drew a massive police response on Wednesday morning shortly after 11 a.m. to the area of Crestwood Drive East and Mayview Road, which is a neighborhood just south of Excelsior Boulevard and west of 494.

In an afternoon news conference, Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt says deputies were attempting to arrest a suspect on a felony warrant when someone in the home opened fire. Two deputies were injured as a result of the shots being fired. One was rushed to the hospital while the other was treated at the scene.

Both deputies are expected to survive their injuries. Authorities said they are still working to determine exactly how the second deputy was injured with Sheriff Witt saying he was shot at but not struck.

The armed man at the house was killed at the scene, the sheriff added. Authorities believe the man was shot, but it's not clear by whom.

Deputies still aren't sure the person armed with a gun was the suspect they were looking for at a cul-de-sac at the end of Crestwood Drive. Earlier in the afternoon, FOX 9 crews heard loudspeaker calls being made at the house. During the afternoon news conference, authorities said the home was still being cleared, to ensure it was safe.

A shelter-in-place order issued for the neighborhood has since been lifted, according to the Minnetonka Police Department.

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has also responded to the scene, to review the use of force by deputies.

Sheriff Witt sounds off on attacks against law enforcement

Sheriff Witt gave some stern words about the rise in violence against deputies during a Wednesday afternoon news conference.

Wednesday's shooting comes less than two months after three Burnsville first responders were killed responding to a domestic incident at a home in February.

"This has got to stop," Sheriff Witt said emphatically. "Every single day, first responders are rushing to help others and helping to keep our community safe. They do not deserve to be threatened. They do not deserve to be assaulted. They do not deserve to be killed."

Witt blasted the disregard by some for the lives of the first responders.

"We know that there's a risk that we might not make it home to our families," acknowledged Witt. "Yet the heroes in law enforcement, they still answer the call, they still show up for a thankless job a lot of times."

CHILD WARNING 17 year-old boy shot by U.S. Park Police when he tries to drive away with an officer inside his car

Full video:

Washington DC, United States

March 18, 2023

U.S. Park Police (USPP) have released body camera video that shows an officer shooting 17-year-old Dalaneo Martin inside an SUV the teen allegedly stole in Washington, D.C.

D.C. police officers found Dalaneo Martin asleep inside an SUV with the ignition running after they responded to a report of a suspicious car near 34th and Baker streets NE about 8:50 a.m. on Saturday, March 18, authorities said. They determined the car was stolen, called for backup and two USPP officers responded.

In a part of the bodycam video released Tuesday, the officers can be seen discussing how they're going to get the driver out of the car while it's running. A senior D.C. police officer can be heard directing the others: “If he takes off just let him go, but don't get inside that car."

However, the video later shows how an officer moves to arrest Martin, climbing into the backseat and saying, "Police, don't move." That officer and others appear to struggle with the teen as he's in the driver seat, and Martin yells. Authorities are unsuccessful, and Martin drives away with the officer still in his backseat.

“Stop man, just let me out,” the officer says while reaching for their gun. “Stop. Stop or I'll shoot!”

The officer fires multiple times, and the teenager yells again. The SUV then ran into a home in the 300 block of 36th Street NE. Martin died at the scene.

Police said they later discovered a gun in the SUV, but that the officers did not know it was there until after the vehicle crashed.

Kenneth Spencer, chairman of the U.S. Park Police union, said the officers' actions were justified.

“The officer had lawful reason to enter the vehicle, and both officers involved took appropriate actions for lawful reasons,” Spencer said.

Martin's family saw the video of the shooting hours before police released it to the public.

"He murdered my son and should be prosecuted," Martin's mother, Terra Martin, said after watching the video, according to the family's lawyer.

Martin's family is expected to speak to the press on Wednesday. Also known as Debo, he was a father to a 5-month-old son. The family said he cared deeply about others, and they believe that while he may have made mistakes, he did not deserve to die for being behind the wheel of a stolen car.

Now, they are seeking answers from law enforcement.

Terra Martin led a demonstration down Benning Road accompanied by family members and friends about a week after the shooting. She said her family is left with lingering questions eight days after her son was shot and killed: “Why wasn't a taser deployed? Why was the officer in the back of his car? Why was Dalaneo shot in a non-threatening position? Why haven't involved officers' names been released?”

The family's attorney, Andrew O. Clarke, said the family was told by the coroner that Dalaneo was shot multiple times.

“Six shots to the back,” Clarke said. “How can you explain that?”

The two U.S. Park Police officers involved remain on administrative leave.

Fullerton police shoot and kill bank robber holding a fake bomb - March 26, 2024

Original video:

Fullerton, California, United States

Police have released video footage and 911 audio to give the public a closer look at the moments before a deadly officer-involved shooting outside of a Wells Fargo bank in Fullerton last month.

On March 26, officers responded to a bank robbery near Bastanchury Road and Harbor Boulevard.

A bank employee called 911 saying a man, later identified as 57-year-old Scott Thompson, was sitting at a banker's desk holding a bomb in a white box and demanding money.

In the 911 call the employee said, "He wants $58,000, and we have three minutes to give it to him."

The person added, "He said if he sees anything, he's going to detonate the bomb so if they could not come because he can see out the window on Bastanchury Road."

Sgt. Ryan O'Neil, public information officer for Fullerton Police said, "About 10 minutes into the incident the employee told the officer the bank personnel would be placing $58,000 in box with DPS written on it and Mr. Thompson would be walking out of the bank shortly after."

"Mr. Thompson exited the bank holding a white box and began walking away from the bank doors. Officers immediately gave him commands to put his hands up and to stop," he said.

Body camera footage from one of the officers showed police yelling commands at Thompson which he failed to obey.

"Fearing Mr. Thompson may be re-entering the bank with an explosive device and as he neared the bank doors, an officer-involved shooting occurred," Sgt. O'Neil said. Thompson died at the scene.

Seven employees and one customer made it out of the bank unharmed. The bomb squad inspected the device and determined it was not a threat.

Sgt. O'Neil said, "He had an extensive criminal history and was on federal probation for armed bank robbery at the time of this incident. Furthermore, he had prior federal convictions for armed bank robbery and escape. And, a state conviction for robbery."

https://www.recordonline.com/story/news/local/2023/03/28/daniel-mcalpin-wawarsing-body-cam-video-police-shooting-nys/70055547007/

9 September 2022

Attorney General Letitia James' office has released video from two state police officers' body cameras from the September 2022 night in which Daniel McAlpin, 41, died after an officer shot him.

According to slides in both videos, some footage was redacted due to the AG office's policy. It's yet not clear what was redacted in the videos.

State police responded at about 8:30 p.m. to the Wawarsing home of McAlpin's parents on Sept. 9. Radio transmissions had first responders describing the call as a "psychiatric emergency." The police and Ulster County Sheriff's Office were called to assist the Ulster County Mobile Mental Health crisis team at the McAlpins' home, the police have said. McAlpin's mother has said she and her husband were in Maine that day and that their son lived with them.

Police said they found McAlpin "distraught" inside the home with a large knife. It was described as a machete by the state Attorney General's office, which also has said McAlpin had an airsoft rifle with him. Airsoft guns often look like traditional guns but shoot nonlethal, plastic pellets.

Police said last year that Trooper Elias Strickland used a taser to attempt to stop McAlpin, but that he still advanced toward officers while threatening them with the knife, and that Trooper Jason Wurtz shot McAlpin, who died at the scene.

The Attorney General's office said Monday it had obtained the videos as part of its ongoing investigation into the death and that releasing them follows James' directive that camera footage be made public to increase transparency and strengthen trust in such matters. It's not known how long the officers and other responders had been at the house before the video footage begins.

The videos included a written statement that “Video redacted according to OAG Policy.” The office did not say, when asked by email, what was redacted but referred to its policy. Footage may be redacted or withheld for things including to ensure privacy, such as residence's interiors, intimate images, documents containing certain identifying information, and a person receiving medical attention. It can also be to comply with laws, protect confidential sources or witness, protect a person's right to a fair trial, protect identities of victims of sexual crimes and domestic violence, avoid undue trauma due to graphic content, and to protect minors' identities.

The videos released Monday are from Troopers Strickland's and Wurtz's cameras, according to the Attorney General's office.

In video from Wurtz's camera, inside the house one of the responders is heard saying to McAlpin, who is not visible at this point, that “right now, all we would do is we'd have you talk to somebody.”

The video shows a couple of doors, both closed, next to each other.

An officer opens the door on the right, then quickly steps away and back from it. Another officer, whose uniform is marked sheriff, is pointing a firearm at that doorway and then makes his way into the room. The room is dark and no one appears to be in it.

A responder is heard saying, “Dan. Be calm, Dan, please.”

The video then shows officers and perhaps other responders positioned to either side of the left door, which is closed. One of the officers places a hand on the door handle. Another officer near him is holding a Taser.

As a Sheriff's Department officer, holding a gun, goes past the door to position himself slightly behind the officer holding the door handle, another responder is heard saying, “Danny? Danny?”

McAlpin is still not visible, the door remains closed, but McAlpin appears to respond: “I do not want to hurt anyone. Please go away.”

A responder replies, “Danny, nobody wants to hurt you. We just want you to –”

“I don't want to hurt anyone; please go away!” McAlpin replies.

The same responder tells McAlpin, “Danny, we want to build trust with you.”

As McAlpin responds: “I don't want to build trust; I …,“ video from Wurtz's camera shows an officer's arm motioning toward positioned officers, and the one who had been holding the door handle reaches out to open the door.

As the door swings open, it reveals an ascending stairway. Officers are off to either side of the doorway, and McAlpin appears to be heard saying, “Oh, yeah?”

“Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands!” an officer said.

An officer moves toward the foot of the stairs, points his gun upward.

“Let me see your hands!” an officer said. “Drop it! Drop the weapon!”

McAlpin is heard saying something during those commands that's harder to make out.

A sound is heard, possibly of the Taser being used, and McAlpin appears to be heard saying, “ow.”

“Put the knife down!” a responder said.

Officers continue to tell McAlpin to “drop it!”

The video indicates that McAlpin is coming down the stairs.

The officer uses the Taser.

“Ow!” McAlpine said.

McAlpin is seen swinging the machete in various directions and is carrying some type of firearm – the Attorney General's office last year said it was an Airsoft rifle.

As McAlpin gets toward the bottom of the stairs, he is seen swinging the machete, and officers back away and go off to the side.

Wurtz appears to place both hands on his gun as McAlpin is on the bottom one or two stairs and two shots are heard.

McAlpin falls toward the floor and is heard saying “Ow!”

From this point, it's harder to see precisely what happens. Much of McAlpin is obscured in the video by the officer's arms holding the gun. From down on the floor, it appears McAlpin may attempt to swing or do something with the machete at least once, possibly in the direction of Wurtz, who moves back.

“Drop the weapon!” a responder tells McAlpin, and what appears to be three more shots are heard.

The Attorney General's office has not said how many shots were fired or whether McAlpin was hit by more than one.

Officers then several times say “drop it!” and “drop the weapon!”

McAlpin is then shown on the floor.

Another officer says to handcuff him, he's down, he's down.

“We're safe, everybody's safe,” one responder says.

“Render aid! Render aid!” another says. “Get a tourniquet on his arm,” after McAlpin is in handcuffs.

Another voice can be heard saying, “this is my patient.”

An officer or two at different points say, “get back!” It's not immediately clear who they're directing the command to, but it may be in response to the person who said “this is my patient.”

That same person asks, “has he been shot?"

CHILD WARNING [WPD EXCLUSIVE!] San Bernardino County deputies shoot autistic teen when he charges at them with a gardening tool - March 9, 2024

Never before has an unwatermarked version, nor the full-length footage, seen the light of day. Until now. Had a homie help hook me up with this one. Here's the original videos + 911 call.

Apple Valley, California, United States

Authorities released body-camera footage Wednesday showing the lead-up to deputies shooting and killing a 15-year-old boy with autism who was charging at a deputy with a large gardening tool, in a case that has sparked outrage.

Two deputies shot Ryan Gainer in front of his Apple Valley, Calif., home after the teen came at a deputy with a raised hula hoe — a tool with a metal head used to remove weeds — on Saturday afternoon, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Wednesday during a news conference.

“There are no winners or losers in situations like this. The reality is that Ryan's family and the deputy sheriffs who were involved in this case will have to remember this for their entire lives,” Dicus said.

Dicus said that his deputies follow their training but added that the department is investigating the shooting and that prosecutors will do the same.

The Gainers are focused on burying their loved one but plan to file a lawsuit, the family's attorney DeWitt Lacy told The Washington Post on Thursday.

“I get it. … It may have been unnerving for an officer, but that doesn't mean to get to shoot a 15-year-old dead,” Lacy said.

He said Gainer was upset Saturday because of a classic dispute: His parents wanted him to do his chores, but the teen wanted to listen to music or play video games. But Gainer's developmental disorder heightened the emotions of the typical argument, Lacy said. The teen broke glass in the front door, Lacy said, but no one was hurt.

A family member called 911 asking for help because Gainer was “actively assaulting family members and damaging property at the residence,” according to a news release from the sheriff's department.

Dicus said the preliminary investigation shows that both deputies shot and that three rounds in total were fired. The first deputy was at the house less than 30 seconds before Gainer charged at him. He said his deputies were dealing with a tough and fast-moving situation.

“There are no magic words,” he said. “We pay law enforcement officers to stop threats and stop violence.”

Dicus said deputies had been called to the house five times since January because of disturbances caused by the teen and each time helped calm him and get him medical treatment without use of force. Dicus added that it isn't clear whether either of the deputies who shot Gainer knew the teen from those interactions or knew about his developmental or mental health.

Lacy said he assumes the deputies knew about Gainer, who was prone to running away and calling 911. Lacy said this is a relatively unpopulated and rural area of the high desert.

Dicus said the “social safety net needs to be strengthened” so his deputies aren't dealing with situations more suited to mental health professionals.

“Law enforcement officers are our fists. We are civilized. They go out and do this work for us, and they need to be supported,” he said, calling for the community to unite.

But family members are angry and feel deputies didn't do enough to de-escalate the situation.

“There's no reason a 15-year-old autistic teen should be dead because he acted out without causing imminent danger,” Lacy said.

I could've slapped a gay watermark on it and you guys would've been powerless to stop me. Be grateful I'm not a dipshit like that. :marseybow:
