if one drives that corridor every afternoon, the rage builds with each passing slow down day after day. I understand his anger, though disagree with his manner of managing his rage.

All's well that ends well, sorry for cop's trauma.

Some people think they are the main character of a movie too.

That cop is lucky the guy didn't swing on him when he pushed him away...I think he let him get way too close

Acorns...

@@Look_What_You_Didyou got him there 🤡

Not stupid if that’s what you were planning to do

He had a maniac episode he was bipolar, hope you guys can understand he was going through an episode he didn’t have to die that way.

Ya think...

😂

Water gun?..🤣

Water gun?..🤣

Did he actually have a hammer 🔨 or what 🤔

Especially when you can't effectively deal with life sober.

Alcohol is a drug dumbass. So is nicotine and caffeine while we are at it.

And stay Sane.

He was having a mental breakdown, stay in your lane

Don't tell me if I shouldn't drive fast, stay in the far right lane and go your speed limit

We pay money for the roads such as taxes at gas stations so I'll use the roads to drive fast as possible

Yes I did. The video stops before showing the actual incident

😂😂😂

Excellent

cold lol

You realized people living in Marysville were stuck in traffic, right?

UNIVERSAL background checks... NO "Hammer Show Loophole"!

Thank you for showing respect to my family as well 🙏

It's very blurry, but in the clip of the last few seconds before he was shot, he seems to be gesturing with an open right hand, and holding something in his left fist. You can see something there when his shirt provides a dark background. Can't tell what it is.

Trust the cops bro they never lie

Nice to hear that this particular individual was promptly dispatched by the WSP.

You must be confusing him with your dad

@@teryliz21 You must be related to him.

@@karlchristensen6277Encouraging the cops to kill rather than de-escalate, disarm or disable. You’re a real peach. And if you’d like to prove me wrong - the answer is where and when

Yep. Interns at it again.

Definitely…

Probably lost sleep because they got home late due to this traffic 😂

I had started to wonder if it was an 'innocent' mistake, meant to lead the viewer to possibly believe that the perpetrator in this incident was unjustifiably taken down by the police. Whether it was an honest mistake or intentional, it should have been noticed and fixed immediately if King 5 wants to retain any of its waning credibility.

glad the general public was not hurt.

@@vihtoripuurola3775 and judge others on their value of living based on a tiny clip in a video. I could do without either of you honestly but who am I to say you don't have value to others? The guy was having a mental episode as told by the worker who was injured. Men's mental health goes totally unattended to for several reasons. Could happen to a lot of people. Pat yourself on the back for not having it happen to you.

Does that mean you're next?

Yeah lucky he was white. Still squandered it

I would never

Nope, not even close. Florida still owns their title, although Texas is trying their best.

Once YOU get some firearm training and try to simulate taking a shot at an arm or leg while someone runs at you, you will know why the officer did not do that instead...because it's nearly impossible. Additionally, it is quite possible that the man was significantly under the influence of a variety of drugs, in which case even MULTIPLE hits in the arms or legs may have virtually no effect on his behavior. Then what? The officer would likely still have had to resort to lethal placement of shots. And I suppose then you would be saying, "Why did the officer have to shoot that man 12 times!?" Regarding your mention that the trooper reacted without thinking, I would argue that you commented without thinking....without thinking of the reality of the situation, and apparently your low knowledge in regards to self defense. Finally, King 5 did a poor job of detailing what was known about the situation. For example: The man with the hammer had called in multiple statements that he was on his way to kill someone. Once he got to the construction area, he proceeded to attack multiple construction workers, to the extent that the workers eventually got away from him because they apparently could not stop or restrain him, even as he continued to attack them. Imagine that...big, burly 'construction workers' could not stop or restrain the man. The man then apparently tried to use a vehicle to ram into the workers or run them down. By the way, I'm pretty sure that would qualify as attempted murder (multiple counts?) with a deadly weapon (the vehicle, not a hammer). I am confident that most people would agree that this man had demonstrated his intent to injure others, and was continuing to escalate his violence towards innocent bystanders, etc. Which brings me back to you...what if YOU had been one of the people sitting in a car, stuck there in traffic as this all unfolded? Do you think that man would have been compassionate towards you and left you alone, or would he have let HIS emotions and adrenaline (as well as any drugs he may have been using) control him and his actions towards YOU? Even if he did not have a hammer, my guess is that you would have been in significant danger. You can disagree with the trooper's reaction all you want, but the sad REALITY is that he likely saved someone else's life (possibly multiple lives) as a result of his actions. If you had been sitting in your car nearby and the man attacked you, would you value your life over his? (Let's not forget that he had made multiple threats and was actively attacking people) If he had spotted a young mother in a car and proceeded to break the window and attack her or her children, would their lives have been less important than his? The sad reality is that there are EVIL people in this world, whether by chance or by choice, and sooner or later they may cross paths with other people (in this case, the construction workers, innocent, uninvolved people on the highway, the family members and other random people the man had threatened, and last but not least the officer himself) and that officer had to make a split second decision to let the carnage continue to escalate or put a stop to it. I'm sure the officer would have much rather had the man calm down and comply, but the man chose not to, and paid the ultimate price for it. Your apparent inability to put yourself in his shoes is quite sad, to be honest.

So the Trooper tried to de-escalte him and he charged the Trooper, forcing the Trooper to push him away. The Trooper tried to talk to him again and was going to Tase him when the Suspect produced a hammer and then charged at the Trooper swinging wildly. The Trooper simply stepped back and drew his weapon and fired four times at center mass to Stop the threat.

@@Zeaiclies Understood on the sequence of events. The cop had basically two "tools" to deal with this situation: talk and lethal force. Talk didn't work, likely because the suspect was not in a reasonable state of mind. The only other option was lethal force when this person threatened the officer. Do you see how law enforcement needs more intermediate tools?

@@jjohnson5014 I do not know if the Taser was tried before or not. That would have been the only other tool available. No one would have been able to do any better, Law Enforcement or not. Talking did not work. Talking to someone else..... maybe, never know. Taser.... again maybe, never know. What else would you give Law Enforcement?

@@Zeaiclies I would leave it to the experts to figure this out. Certainly, in a first world nation as the USA, you'd think these situations would be better resolved. Look at the UK where its officers don't carry firearms.

@@jjohnson5014 The UK is interesting, you also don't have suicide by Cop there either. You have two different equations and you want the same solution, that's not possible without changing the variables. 😁🍻 I agree with you that I wish there was away to make things better for all people in as many situations as possible.

Nonsense

would you try to tase those that wanna end you?

Glad not

😂😂. That’s funny

Exactly. They need to practice what they preach. 😬🤭

@@nbaoldgirl one nice thing is you won’t see a bunch of white people protesting in the streets demanding the Trooper be prosecuted cuz most white people realize this guy created his own fate.
