Richmond police on Friday showed members of the media the body camera footage from one of its officers who last week fatally shot a 24-year-old high school biology teacher. Marcus-David Peters was unarmed and naked when he was shot. His sister, who saw the footage along with her uncle and their attorney on Wednesday, said he was clearly in distress having a mental health breakdown. Princess Blanding, Peters’ sister, said after seeing the footage, she doesn’t believe her brother should have been shot and is calling for changes to police procedures. “I want to clear the air and set the record straight,” Police Chief Alfred Durham said in an earlier statement. “There is so much misinformation out there right now. The facts are what should matter, here.” Durham has not spoken publicly since the incident. He is expected to provide an update on the investigation into the shooting and “make an appeal for additional information,” a release said. Around 5:33 p.m. May 14, an RPD officer saw Peters driving a sedan that struck another vehicle at the intersection of West Franklin and North Belvidere streets. He continued driving and the officer followed him north and onto the I-95/64 ramp at Chamberlayne Avenue.
Peters lost control of his vehicle after striking two more vehicles on the ramp, police said. He emerged from the disabled vehicle without clothing and ran into the northbound lanes of I-95/64. Witnesses said they saw him dancing and rolling around on the interstate before running back to the on-ramp. Police said Peters then charged its officer identified as Michael Nyantakyi, who deployed his Taser in an effort to disable Peters. The Taser was ineffective, police said, and the officer fired his service weapon, striking Peters twice in abdomen. Peters was transported to a hospital where he died a few hours later. Peters’ family is planning to hold a community meeting they’re calling “Demanding Justice for Marcus Peters: A Speak-Out & Rally” on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. at Second Baptist Church, 1400 Idlewood Ave. The family is also planning a march for June 2 from the Siegel Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, where Peters graduated with honors in 2016, to the police department’s headquarters on Grace Street.

I keep coming back to this vid when people trip over excessive force. He damn used everything on his belt. Whatever he was on, he was on some interstellar shit..
imagine tasing a naked guy that’s running straight towards you, only for the taser to not work. Run.
Damn he was smoking that GOOD Angel dust!
the cop forgot that he also had a baton and pepper spray…
He tried to dance the bullet holes off 😂 🤣
I love this channel!
Why do American officers keep using teasers, which are clearly ineffective in incapacitating suspects. Smh. So futile.
Notice this didnt make news bc it's a black cop😒
Bad aim, he was naked so he attacked everywhere, he has no excuses
i think office there felt about he stood on first day of zombie apocalypse or something
Why theos cops gotta treat the brother like that disrespectful racists cops.
coo bro
So the guy is making all kinds of strange noises, climbs out of the car backwards and upside down, gets hit by a car, does concrete 'snow angels' on the highway, gets tazed…. isn't even phased in the slightest, is spewing 'I'm going to kill you'… and still is walking around after being shot. …. I literally feel like this guy was possessed or something. This was down right unnerving to watch.
Bruh this is 12 minutes from my house 😂
WHY NAKED MAN WHYYYY
I dont think the shots killed him, I mean look at this fcking dude
This is why islam forbidden alcohol and drugs

I don't recognize that drug.
What happens when the suspect wrestles the gun away from the officer?
the cop forgot that he also had a baton and pepper spray…
