The body camera of a Miami-Dade Police officer captured a tense standoff in November that could have turned deadly for one knife-wielding man. Several officers responded to a residential area of Southwest Miami-Dade, Nov. 15, after a man called 911 threatening to kill police officers. “He’s reaching for something, put it down,†one officer is heard saying as he spots the man from his car. “Put it down. Put it down. You don’t what to get hurt.†The dramatic video released on Wednesday shows officers pleading with a man, who, police believe, was trying to commit suicide by cop. The video shows the man — who will not be identified due to the fact that he suffers from mental issues — standing in the middle of a road holding a knife.
Officers surrounded the man, pleading with him to put the knife down. “Put it down, put it down,†the officer wearing the body camera repeatedly said. “You don’t want to get hurt.†He pleaded again with the man, “Sir, listen to me. Put the knife down. We don’t want to hurt you.†Police tried to end the situation without taking the man’s life. The video shows the first-person perspective of the officer pointing his Taser at the man and continue to plead with him. Another officer across the street, with a gun pointed at the suspect, tells bystanders to move away. “Crossfire — get out of the way,†he said. The officers told the man to relax and asked him to talk to them.
The suspect, who police believe is an ex-Marine, then tells the officers, “Shoot, shoot.†He told them that he is a father, and then threatened the officer who had a Taser. “I’m a father,†he says, before threatening the officer. “If you keep coming closer you’ll get it. I got a second when it hits me to come back to you. I’ve been shot before.†The officer wearing the body camera then takes a step forward and shoots the man with his Taser. “Check him, check him,†the officer said, after the man fell to the ground. Police took the man into custody and transported him to a hospital for mental health treatment. In his initial call to 911, he told police he was depressed. MDPD officers began wearing the body cameras in May. Now, more than 1,000 officers wear them.

Even the white guy knows about his own white privilege. “If I was black you would have already shot me. But I’m white so you won’t shoot me.†That sums it up perfectly.
Change title.. and make a fact they did tazer him..
When the glow stick is sus
well done. but that officer in the back stop ……..
The one good thing is if he successfully tried to get away they could locate him from space since his clothes are brighter than the sun.
I didn’t read the description or watch the video before this so he wasn’t running anywhere. But the joke still works.
Good job.
The one time it works
Good police work
Without shooting him??? Lol wooooooooooooooooow!!!😱😱😱😱 fucken clownnnns
Classic fall. If you do not comply, you suffer the consequences. Now, hold him accountable for those actions.
Another trumper learns a hard lesson
Nobody:
Led Zeppelin: hey mama like the way you move
Se poco de ingles, pero entiendo que los policias usan argumentos muy estupidos para convercer al tipo. Yo usaria frases como, si no sueltas ese cuchillo vas a terminar danzando de cabeza contra el piso xDD
What they work they work really well…..
Cop 1: „Listen to me“
Cop 2 ( in the same time ): „Listen to me“
Cop 1: „Hey hey, listen to me.Put it down“
Cop 2 ( in the same time ): „ Listen to me.Put it down“
The poor boy was completely overwhelmed..
This was handled so well!!
Well done to the officers on a positive outcome. I think I heard one of the officers saying “one person talkâ€. I’d have to agree. That’s the only thing that they could have done better. Less intimidating and confusing for someone in a confused state rather than having 2-3 people talking at you at the same time.
Whoever is listening to Zeppelin in the background, nice touch
Real nice work!
Ño que Ño
Beautiful
Good contact, however crossfire was a big problem, also who had lethal cover. Glad nobody got hurt

Lol Led Zeppelin
Good job and well done
He obviously didn't have anything to live for and simply wanted to be suicided by cop. Very disapointed by the racist cops who wouldn't give the poor man his wish.
Super bravooo
Look at me, no look at me, or look at me, maybe look at me! I'm here to help, no I'm here to help. Look at me, I'm here for you, no look at me!
I'm confused and I'm just watching!
Well , you couldn't miss that target if you were blindfolded , i swear you would still see the glow .
In a totalitarian state, the guy would have been shot immediately. If he survived he would have spent time in a gulag. Just shows how great is our system of Law Enforcement. Only criminals would have trouble with it.
"Ope" theres the infamous "knee on the neck" that killed George Floyd. . . Wait this man still breathing.
This doesnt kill people
i cant imagine how many people tazers have disarmed and saved, great work here
Kool ass fucking cop
And a Led Zeppelin Soundtrack!
