COPS TV Show, Toughest Takedowns, Lynn Police Department, MA
LYNN POLICE OFFICERS MICHAEL HANLON AND GREGORY McCARTHY RESPOND TO A CALL ABOUT A KNIFE-WIELDING ASSAILANT. AT THE SCENE, THEY FIND TWO OFFICERS WITH WEAPONS DRAWN ON A MAN HOLDING A LARGE BUTCHER KNIFE. THE FOUR OFFICERS WALK UP AN EMPTY HIGHWAY AS THEY TRY TO TALK THE MAN INTO DROPPING THE KNIFE — HE REFUSES. THE OFFICERS REPEATEDLY EMPHASIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT THERE TO HARM HIM, BUT HE MUST DROP THE KNIFE. THE SUSPECT BECOMES LOUDER AND MORE AGITATED. TWO MORE OFFICERS JOIN IN THE WALK DOWN THE HIGHWAY, ALL OF THE OFFICERS HAVE THEIR SERVICE REVOLVERS TRAINED ON THE SUSPECT. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF WALKING UP THE HIGHWAY, ANOTHER PATROL CAR DRIVES UP. AS THE WALK CONTINUES, YET ANOTHER PATROL CAR ARRIVES ON THE SCENE. AN OFFICER TRIES TO KNOCK THE KNIFE OUT OF THE SUSPECT’S HAND WITH A BATON. IT’S A FUTILE ATTEMPT, THE SUSPECT HOLDS ONTO THE KNIFE AND CONTINUES WALKING UP THE DESERTED ROAD. A STATE POLICE CAR PULLS AHEAD OF THE SUSPECT IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESTRICT HIS PATH AND SEVERAL OFFICERS CONVERGE NEAR THE SUSPECT. AS THEY MAKE YET ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO GET THE SUSPECT TO DROP THE KNIFE, HE CHARGES AT AN OFFICER WITH THE KNIFE AND IS SHOT. EVEN AFTER BEING SHOT, THE SUSPECT REFUSES TO YIELD HIS WEAPON. THE OFFICERS WRESTLE THE SUSPECT TO THE GROUND, DISARMING AND CUFFING HIM. THERE’S CONFUSION IN THE TAKE DOWN AS THE OFFICERS AREN’T SURE THE SUSPECT WAS SHOT. IT’S ONLY WHEN THEY LIFT HIS SHIRT AND FIND A BULLET HOLE IN HIS ABDOMEN THAT THEY GET A CONFIRMATION. HANLON EXPLAINS THE DETAILS OF THE SHOOTING TO POLICE CHIEF JOHN F. HOLLOW. AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL VEHICLE ARRIVES TO TAKE THE SUSPECT TO A HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT.

Reservoir Dogs: Mr Pink ending, anyone?
"DROP THE GUN, BUDDY!"
You can hear the bullet hit the guardrail after it passes through the guy
Legend has it, he still hasn't dropped the knife
Which season was this?
He's zero
We don't wanna do it, buddy!
31 times they said
"Drop The Knife.."
Probably should have just..💥
Dropped That KNIFE 🔪
Did this looser survive anybody knows??
I’m actually glad to see that they handled that well and none of them got seriously hurt or injured. That could have been a lot more worse if they didn’t do something about it. Now I hope that a lot of people can see and now understand why the cops have to protect themselves in situations like this
I remember this was the first and potentially only time a suspect was actually killed during filming.
Here we are years later and Lynn is still the same shithole.
No, don't do that!!!
I'm a huge fan of Cops TV shows
You don't need to YELL.
You can hear the Boston accent in the video
Get down buddy
I have this whole clip on DVD. The DVD is called "COPS: Shots Fired". And IIRC, the gun went off by accident as the officer was falling with the suspect over the guard rail and the bullet went into the guy's abdomen.
One officer doing a solo. Nobody else speaks.
He punched metel 0:37 and broke his hand
I like how there's eight cops
Before taisers, pepper spray and rubber bullets?
Drop the knife and we’ll give you head!
always wanted to work at a caah dealership…..
How many cops does it take to get one guy with a knife? One with a tazer and one to subdue? No, it takes half a department with guns drawn.
B U D D Y
a Gutshot on a dude that big isn't going to kill him. The Bullet was too close to expand. Takes a long time to die from a Belly shot. He's going to have a scar and bad memory of that day. I just hope they heal his mind as well as his body.
Im surprised it took them that long to shoot him. Thought he was gonna get shot in the leg the third time he didn't drop it like they told him to.
Should have saved taxpayers money, and put two in back of the head when he was down!! No loss!!
The cops did good manhandling this dude. But what I don't like is that cops bring a whole gang together and just dogpile on one individual. Sometimes I hate it when that happens if it was a gang that be totally different but ganging up on one individual is so overwhelmed.
Capslocksyndrome
in 10 per un uomo disarmato e gli sparano pure! l'america è fuori di testa.
Tazer,pepper spray beanbag gun anything less lethal never came out….. and then he died. ..
Are they Canadian? With all the buddies? I don't disapprove of the lethal force, and they did a good job at their restraint, but why not taser, or pepper spray first?
Those 73 dislikes come from criminals who are watching this
Why do they need that many cops? "One riot, one Ranger". He's got a knife and you have a gun. Pointless waste of resources.

I wonder why he stabbed the guy at the car dealership??
Lol his face when they shoot him. You fucked up lol
sack the cop that said shoot him after he was shot . Adrenalin or not why say another shot .
DROP IT!! DROP IT BUDDY!! WE'LL GIVE YOU HAM!!!!
if he was black or Spanish he would of got shot 48 times.
What a dick, all he had to do is drop that fucking knife.
i thought they were suppose to taze him not shoot him
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2
Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit
if he were black he would have been shot multiple times , lol
How about we all pay attention to the year this video was made? Pretty sure this was before tasers? just sayin!
That Was Intense…
Why the heck did they not use their Tasers? This was clearly a suicide by cop and you are going to help him with it?!
