Review of Crookston, MN Police Shooting Captured on Bodycam Video and Investigated by MN BCA
Cuh-razy.
They had the dude down a few times with a tazer and didnt go and jump on him to subdue him? I always back the cops but this looks like bad training I get that he might have a weapon but he was also naked and out numbered they could of easily with 2 or three of them taken him down after zapping him😂
Why TF did they lot get on top of him when he went down initially? Scared cops that's don't know how to handle confrontation
Crazy is Crazy plain and simple !
What were these idiots even doing???
Also I have to add the female officer spraying the pepper spray was nothing but stupidity. She didn't even aim it at him just above him and that did nothing but hinder the second trio of officers from getting to the scene quicker.
Pathetic
The more I watch the more stupid it is. Four times they tased him and had the opportunity to get cuffs on yet they bark orders and let him get back up. The last time they tased him in the corner by the exercise equipment, they could have all piled on top of him and got control. But what do we see, 3 cowards literally run past him laying on the ground, to escape for their lives(deadly plastic garbage can was in his close proximity) down the hallway where we see the final cowardly act. Then we see some scaredy cat creeping up on a naked, unarmed, likely dead man and cuffing him crying, "Do not fight, do not fight." All these officers get a F in performance and a A+ in unloading firearms. Embarrassing for the community and departments involved.
He knew he was going to unload his weapon when he told all the other officers to get out of crossfire. Less than 50 secs later he unloads his weapon.
Now I want to see the Care and Shares security footage.
They didn't need to shoot him.
ACAB
So a guy died because three cowards couldn't jump on him after he got tazed? They ran from him
How inept.
Back in slavery days. My people used to come outside with no clothes on so they do not get shot by the police. This is murder.
He did not need to be shot. He was tazed and they could have gotten him handcuffed when he was down. He was naked and nowhere does it say he was armed, other than destroying property. But if he is in the ground from being taxed he is no longer a threat and could have been cuffed and taken into custody. So sad.
They’re acting like he’s a zombie, the dialogue is exactly from a movie
Idiots. No weapon. They all were afraid. Why not wait for a real cop to show up and by numbers restrain him. Or back off and let him calm down. This was an execution by an inept police officer. Period.
Discussing police work. Stone cold murder.
They should have brought in social workers and left the cops completely out of it
Embarassing display by police. Ashamed to be a crookstonian
Maybe they should check into his background from when he was a COP in Grand Forks.
SHAME ON THE CROOKSTON POLICE!!! I find this video more than alarming! The officers had numerous opportunities' to handcuff the victim after being tasered when he was down on the floor. The victim at NO time had a weapon of any sort! Also, the officers de-escalation skills were absolutely awful to say the least! It seemed as if the officers were afraid, however, the female officer was not afraid to approach the victim and administer her pepper spray when in fact the officers had another opportunity to handcuff him! THEN…the officer that went to his vehicle to get a weapon just took his time walking to his vehicle. hmm Bottom line is he did not have to die! I see so many red flags by the police officers actions. Are they trigger happy up there? It seems so in what I have been hearing and watching. My condolences to the family of the victim and I hope you go after the Crookston Police Department to seek justice for you son. Again my condolences.
These cops should not be officers of the law if they are scared to handle a situation they have badges guns bullet proof vest all the tools they need and made this a terrible outcome of a gentleman losing his life
The colossal titan
They had like 5 cops there the dude was unarmed. Those cops look like a bunch of sissy’s. They all could held him down. Together. Shame on you Crookston police. He had a garbage can!!! Smh
Nothing but hate for the police in these comments
I mean, in my entire 38 years ive known running full speed at a cop, during a situation like this, is very likely a death sentence
Definitely a law suit coming
These cops are yellow with out a doubt one man many of them all were afraid to engage the man and cuff him bad job pd bad job
this was so sad to watch. he was treated like an animal 💔💔
Wow neil text book news reporter remove comments you dont agree with
Ok since neil removed my coment ill post it again they could have handled this situation better and did not have to kill him they had plenty of chances to arrest him he was on the ground multiple times the could have got on him and handcuffed him and why run away as hes in a corner on the ground running away from what he was an un armed man and yet they shoot him and what was the femail deputy doing spraying the air with mace? I hope the city of crookston and the cpd loose the lawsuit thats been filed against them
So weak!
If you are that afraid of a naked unarmed man obviously having some kind of psychotic break, you should prolly not be a cop!
Unarmed British cops are often laughed at on US cop channels for not having guns, but they would have got this guy into custody by piling on him first opportunity and possibly without having to even deploy a taser.
But yeah, "UK cops are a joke"?. Smh.
He begged them not to kill him.
Same cop that killed the guy with the axe on Broadway. When we lived in Crookston we had run in with the for racial profiling. That's crooked (Crookston).🤬🐷🐖🐽
These cops are fucking cowards!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine being armed police running from a naked man wielding a plastic trash can. All three of them should be embarrassed.
It amazes me how unreal all u people are. Apparently u dont know ow how drugs and meth work on people giving them super human strength. Blows my mind the lack of common sense younger people have. Cant strike cant rear naked choke them cant use batons no more. So when this meathead that ur trying to take into custody starts fighting and gets ur gun. Ur SOL. Dude destroyed the inside of that building.
This was someone very close to me uncle junk 😭😭😭😭 i can't believe this is real
Why didn't they approach him. Chris apparently doesn't understand words.
When is a White guy nothing happens to coward police! The double standards are ridiculous😡
