The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released several video and audio clips Wednesday of a nonfatal police shooting that occurred in Bridgeport last March. Wen M. Chen, 31, was shot after officers responded to a call of a domestic disturbance in a home in the 2800 block of South Throop on around noon on March 13. Newly released body cam footage shows Chen with a butcher knife in hand as officers open the door to the room in which he’d locked himself. After the door is opened, one officer, whose Taser was drawn and pointed at Chen, tells him to drop the knife six times before deploying the Taser. Another officer on scene also deploys his Taser and Chen can be heard screaming in pain. As Chen is being shocked, the first officer to deploy his Taser tells Chen to drop the knife twice more, body cam footage shows. The officer then draws his gun and tells Chen three more times to drop the knife.
Chen, still screaming, then staggers out of the bedroom into a common area where the officers are standing. The officer who had ordered him to drop the knife fires once, striking Chen in the thigh. Blood could be seen on Chen’s neck, back and chest before the shot was fired. Chen was taken to Stroger Hospital for treatment. He was later charged with 12 counts of aggravated assault to a peace officer. The officer who shot Chen was placed on administrative leave for 30 days, per CPD policy. COPA typically releases available audio and video files of police shootings after 60 days. In this case, “The release of this video was prohibited due to a court order which has now been rescinded allowing COPA to make the relevant materials available to the public,†according to a statement from COPA.

That dude took 3 tasers at the same time and still didn't go down. That is fucking crazy.
Good job on keeping the gun low and shooting him in the leg. If you miss, the crossfire could've gotten one of the other cops killed.
the cops were watching him die
after seeing the clip again the cop shot the guy in the head or in the eye
what the hell was the cop thinking he killed the poor guy the taser wasnt enof i would punch the cop if that was my dad
Wouldn't the electric shock keep you from opening your hand?
That was unexpected they shot him after they tased him they didn't have too cause he can't stab anyone if hes tased that must have been HELLA PAINFUL
That wasn't necessary to shoot him
CNN. Man shot while making won tons.
The guy might be in some triad, he misses the left hand little finger
Idk if anyone's ever been hit with a taser on the highest setting, but its kind of like getting electrocuted becomes extremely hard to open your fingers and drop whatever is in your hand for a lot of people.
tenno heika banzaiiiiiiii…..
So you gonna shoot someone already bleeding makes no Sense what do ever
8:19 dude lost his finger??
I feel bad for the cops… You know its going to scar them when he understood he was Fatally shot and screamed "Kill me"
Double tasers makin him go Super Saiyan 🤣
hes saying "æ€æˆ‘" which means kill me
I wanna be a cop but this is a moment i never want to experience
Can someone please explain me why exactly the police was called? ( Yes I know he had a knife, but if he wanted to kill somebody, other than him, he wouldn’t have locked himself in)
I saw him bleeding from 4 shots fired of the teaser and the gun too.
What a fucking psycho
Where tf did he get shot to instantly get blood on his face, hands, and chest. I’m kind of confused.
Now, they had an interpreter. It was the female officer the first male officer told to step back.
DROP THE KNIFE
no
7:02 when I broke a bone for the first time
Is it any possiblity that the man didn't understand"drop the knife"?? I feel so bad when they shot him..
