osxmatt Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Sgt. Tyler Longman rushed into the room, pulling his firearm as he grabbed Chad Breinholt’s head, his hands still cuffed behind his back. He yelled, “You’re about to die, my friend,” put his gun to Breinholt’s temple, and pulled the trigger. FRONTLINE | Police Killed a Handcuffed Man.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Gee, if only there were any (theoretically) non-lethal options to subdue available to them. If only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 This is horrifying. I don’t want to hear any of that “suicide by cop” nonsense either. The fact that he wanted to die was all the more reason to bring in experts who could actually care for him. Sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of this one night this lady refused to move off property and insisted an officer come. Then she begged the officer for a ticket because she claimed that someone stole her house or something like that. The ordeal took like 10 - 15 minutes because the officer really didn't want to give the lady a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The video is insane, not sure why I watched that. The guy was clearly heavily inebriated and mentally unstable and they seemingly did everything possible to make the situation worse. Expecting people in altered states to act logical and 'normal' is asinine and it always seems like cops somehow are the least qualified people on the planet to deal with those situations. Whip the impaired guy into a frenzy, then kill him because 'he asked for it' because he's in a frenzy. This one reminds me of that guy that was completely wasted in a hotel corridor and wasn't able to follow the cops' orders due to it. They shot him to death as he was crying and begging for his life, literally while crawling and saying he doesn't know what they want, because he didn't follow their convoluted orders to a tee.

Nokt Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 In a disappointing, but not unexpected turn of events. The murder was justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I watched the video. Clearly once the guy grabbed the officer's gun (apparently, it's hard to see), what else do you suspect. But the whole situation up to that point was irresponsible. Like the dude was handcuffed in a chair and very inebriated, what exactly did that officer plan on doing when he grabbed the guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They searched him prior to bringing him in and knew he was unarmed. They knew there wasn't a gun in his shoe. They thought he was going to do something with his shoe? What? So why even attempt to take it, what purpose does it have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad thing happens (which the bad actors actually believe to be a good thing): We can't do anything about this until we change the law We can't change the law, it would hamstring our police!
