Same I don't think he could've handled it better. One of the most compassionate cops I've seen.

Officer Yao is the kind of cop that actually makes me look up to America, the kind of cop that i keep dreaming about, he should be an example for many cops, even outside of America, i’m usually very quick on judging cops but goddamn, do i feel bad for this guy😔❤️

I don’t. Why don’t they have stun guns etc. ? What’s a naked unarmed man gonna do? Bite you?

​@@tokhotehe may not have the stun gun but also he threatened to kill him and it seemed he was alone on this man's property he was trying to help but this man showed before how dangerous he could have been. It's self defense man, he even waited until he was less than 10 feet away.

​@@tokhote ​ first off, stun guns don't work 100% of the time, some people especially on people on drugs are unaffected, secondly, a single punch can kill someone well unlikely is a possibility, thirdly in many cases people can wrestle away guns and kill the officer, plenty of video's you can search for where cops fail to fire and end up being the one with a bullet in the head. very simple thinking that shouldn't be needed to be explained, i'm hoping you're aleast grade 9 to excuse your clear lack of intelligence

shame meth is a rampant drug and ruined Ethans life

@@sillygoose4263 As a person with a lot of people in my life on meth, they ruined their lives before even doing meth. The saddest part is nobody ODs on meth unless its laced with fent. People on regular meth live forever. I'm a functional alcoholic, but I have never looked at meth people or heroine people as someone to aspire to be. You make your own path. Do you want to be taking something apart that you will never be able to put together again?

@@sillygoose4263Ethan ruined Ethans life.

Meanwhile, Ethan was clearly cuckoo for cocoa puffs 🤪

@@bibauer6933 Yes Ethan made the choice to try meth, but the meth quickly takes near-total control of your mind. So Ethan made a choice that allowed meth to ruin his life. Most addicts don't choose to stay addicts because they like to get high, they do it because they want to feel normal, most people start because they like to party with friends and have a good time, and before they even realize it, they already addicted. The effects it has on your mind and body is what makes then become addicts. Would you rather: Feel normal, or feel like you have food poisoning and are having every inch of your body repeatedly smashed with a hammer, while someone constantly does the thing that annoys you the most non-stop while repeatedly saying "I'll stop if you just do some." It seems like it will NEVER stop and you have no choice. Don't speak on things you don't know my guy, and if you do know, you should have a bit more compassion and understanding. Addiction is Hell. Meth is even worse because it warps your brain worst than most other hardcore drugs. He made a decision that took away his ability to make decisions basically (of course not literally, but pretty damn close) Most people don't have the willpower and self control to do something like stopping chewing their finger nails, things that are only habitual with no physical or mental dependencies, and the average person wants an addict to "just say no", some substances can kill you if you stop taking them the wrong way. I'm not saying it is impossible, and he has no blame to account for, but I am saying it is damn hard to do, definitely harder to do than most peoples' top accomplishment. After Ethan tried meth, he wasn't really Ethan anymore. If you know anyone who has dealt with Substance Abuse Disorder, then you know what I mean. Some people can't stick to a diet without having a supervisor and a network of support, yet, those same people want addicts, who usually have no one and deal with issue like depression, to just "say no" and stop immediately. It's so hypocritical.

Was looking for this. I’ve seen comments in the past like, “They should’ve just tased him,” or, “Why didn’t they just hit him in the leg?” At 30 feet, a suspect can cover that distance before any officer can draw, aim, and fire. Even if the suspect is hit, they don’t drop on the spot like you see on TV. They can continue their attack for several minutes after taking shots, so long as their heart is still beating and head still intact. Another aspect that nobody realizes until they’re in that situation, or they’re trained to know, is when you’re using a firearm for self defense you aren’t going to use your sights. You aim and squeeze, possibly until the clip is empty. There’s no time to carefully line up the sights at close range; at 30 feet, you have less than three seconds to successfully ward off the average assailant before your own life is forfeit. Any time police take someone out and the public (who weren’t there) call foul, I have to interpret that with some skepticism. I had a neighbor once who was acting suıcidal, so his mother called 911. It didn’t matter who would’ve showed up; officers, social workers, Boy Scouts…. he was intent on harming others, then himself. He had an hunting knife and had been cutting himself. Officers tased him when he approached aggressively, but it had no effect (adrenaline does that sometimes). When he charged around the front of a cruiser and tried to stab an officer, they put five in center mass, and that was the end of it. He got within inches of stabbing that officer in the neck.

Well said. It was a tragic situation. I sincerely wish Officer Yao all the best. As for Ethan, i sincerely hope he has the peace that eluded him in this life.💖

I agree! And I hope he finds your comment, good person! I’m sure he’d appreciate those kind words!

Agreed 100%. Even though a tragic death, Ethan is no longer at war in his head. Officer Yao is an incredibly compassionate officer ❤️

His exact words were "I didn't do nothing" which is grammatically correct. So many of these evil morons say that sentence.

I remember that one because I lived there when it happened - Omaha. What an absolute tool! Like, no, you did do something! 😤

People like this.. it’s almost second nature for them to claim they didn’t do anything or the cops are only going after them because they’re minorities.. and unfortunately.. in our soft world these days.. it sometimes works.

Blessed are the peace makers.

Risking their lives and their mental health. I can’t imagine what being forced to shoot someone does to their psyche, especially for an officer who joined the force for the right reasons and who just genuinely wants to serve and protect the people in their community.

As a police officer's son myself, @mrspaisley1, I wholeheartedly agree with you!

I think it also had to do with the lack of sleep he was probably experiencing psychosis as well it is truly sad

@@adamngoose4270Obvious mental health issues that should be addressed before people turn to substances. But taxpayers would hoot and holler about that…….

en todo caso yao es un asesino, no hay mas

Its all the more tragic when you consider the fact that Ethan probably didn't want to put Yao in that position either, but the man was clearly struggling with mental and substance abuse issues and cruel twist of fate saw him and Yao having to meet once more but while he was being consumed by his inner demons. The US really needs to up its public medical infrastructure for mental health care, so that people like Ethan can get help before its too late and good law enforcement officers like Yao aren't put in positions where they have to kill someone to defend themselves when the person in question really just needs mental help badly. The sad fact is, Ethan didn't deserve to die and Yao didn't deserve to be put in a position where he had to kill someone he wanted to help just to keep himself safe. I will say Yao was definitely justified in shooting Ethan, he gave him a lot of chances and when push comes to shove a dead police officer is of no help to anyone so Yao handled the bad situation admirably. I hope this event doesn't drain Yao's empathy completely. The world needs more empathy not less but I know all to well its very easy to be jaded and cynical these days, especially when attempts to do right end poorly for those who try.

​@@TheRougeSky Don't mistake mental illness with drug overdose. Ethan deserved what he brought on himself, be it from this officer today or some other tomorrow, he was simply lucky it took that long. Stop defending drug addicts, they already made their choice the same way everyone else do. Reality check baby.

​@Bringleboar Substance abuse disorders are literally included in the DSM-5-TR. This problem rarely occurs for trivial issues or peer pressure. Addiction extends beyond just casual or social use. Yes, that can lead to bigger issues, but I promise you addiction is rarely so easily explained.

wanted him to 'shut up already'

The other dude sitting in that car must also be traumatized as well

I just googled the case and it hurt my heart for officer Tao because all articles are written in a way that makes it seem that Yao was a “coward who shot an unarmed man”. Seeing the video and then reading the articles made me mad because the situation was so much more complicated than that and Yao did everything he could in a rapid escalation of behaviour had to shoot a man who died as a result then had to get articles like that written about him.

@@jamesc5751 being in a different country from the outside perspective from someone who doesn’t have to deal with the imbalance everyday, I see both sides. Unfortunately any job has people who are corrupt and racist even killers. But cops are in those moments more often than any other profession. I have seen amazing cops but I have also seen horrible cops who abuse their power just to oppress certain races. I think with the gun laws being as lax as they are they (civilians and cops) are always going to be afraid of each other. I don’t think you need to take guns away and I respect your right. But just tighten them up. In my country (Australia) people think no one has guns here. That’s in correct but the licenses are difficult to get and the type of guns available are limited to hunting guns and hand guns. We don’t have access to semi automatic weapons. Which I feel besides country defense shouldn’t be available to civilians who only need guns for protection. But I have never shot a gun before so what do I know 😅

@@jamesc5751 you can’t really pin it one way or the other. Cops don’t trust civilians and civilians don’t trust cops and because of this both sides lose lives that would have been easily preventable.
