Jacksonville, Florida — A Jacksonville police officer shot and wounded a man armed with a large butcher knife, after a witness said minutes earlier Saturday morning had threatened to rob and stab someone because he needed money. John Robert Ritter Jr., 39, was hospitalized in stable condition following the shooting about 9:11 a.m. near Northside Grocery at Trout River Boulevard and Lem Turner Road, T.K. Waters. Officers say, Ritter tried to commit the robbery, would not put down the knife and ran away from police. Officer Tim J. Davis, an 11-year Sheriff’s Office veteran, chased after him and tried to taze him but was not successful. One shot was then fired by the officer, hitting Ritter. There were no injuries to the officer, and the suspect has been transported to a local hospital in stable condition. Ritter, was charged with one count of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and one count of burglary, according to police.

Great police work. Calm and measured response.
If that would’ve been a black man that got shot Joe Biden would be I have a news conference
Kudos to the officer, I hope he gets a hug when he gets home. The poor guy is in shock.
Wow only 1 round, are we sure this is real?😂 usually they empty the entire clip lmao
I count 7-8 steps walking towards him before he shoots, Fair enough. Don’t walk towards the police with a knife.
It’s okay everyone. Their both white males. Nothing to see here
Not to be confused with John Ritter, the actor from Three's Company.
his back-up kept on failing him at every opportunity.
I give recognition to the officer who shot him.. you did good bud.
Social worker would have solved this no issues, sure we could even get biden to bring him along for some ice cream treats

Blm
Black cop shooting white guy. No press coverage?
🤔
Let’s hope this straightens out the man and learns to not misbehave anymore.
Law Enforcement: Protect and Serve
LeBron: YOUR NEXT
This is what I saw, the officer knows that just by his presence alone, the suspect will get agitated, so this officer pushes himself & forces himself further & further know very well that this will increase the agitation of the suspect, then the officer pulls out his taser, purposely misses, continuing the agitation, and now resulting to using his gun.. This cops are fucking dirty, shady, sleazy bags.
If the officer was competent with his taser this could have possibly ended without shots fired. The officer went to tase him and the safety was still engaged on the taser then when he finally fires the taser he waits until the worst possible time when the man with the knife is holding a shirt or something of that kind in front of him making a barrier between the cop and the taser.
Isn’t it funny how a tiny piece of Lead can change someone’s attitude.
If that had been a black man I’ll hell would be breaking right now. Why the fuck did the cop not tell anybody that he was shot. If this had been reversed and that was a black man everybody would be raising hell right now
Failed suicide by cop
"You better shoot me!"
Officer shoots
"OH GOD! i didnt think you would"
The cop is clearly racist. That young man was just headed to his daily cooking class. Wite peepole are being hunted by black cops.
I am not an expert but I think that did hurt.
Everyone has a plan, until they get shot in the gut – Officer [redacted]
Protest canceled. Al sharpton canceled his flight.
The libtards don’t know what to do with this one . Black cop shoots white dude then another black cops , ( a woman ) shows up to throw the bracelets on ! Awesome !
Gaga googoo. I want my mommy. Regretting that shoot me comment now huh??
it is just me or the taser never works?
Endlich mal jemand, der begriffen hat, dass ein Schuss reicht🤷â€â™‚ï¸
One shot instead of emptying the magazine. Good job.
No reason to shoot him. Plenty of space to drop back and nobody else in the vicinity. No reason to close distance on him to make the shooting necessary.
Also,awful non existent first aid application.
Overall, dismal police performance
Thankfully the man suffering in mental crisis was not also killed.

May God bless and protect the United States police a hug from Brazil 🇧🇷🇱🇷🥰
00:30 “Hes got about a 12 inch—“
Huh?.. ðŸ‘👄ðŸ‘
Looks like he was vaccinated with the cure! "The shot!!"
One shot that’s all it took officers around America. Look that’s how you do it no need to unload your clip or need to have the hole damn department there for one man with a knife officer well done.
Justified shooting 🔫
DUUUUUUVAAAAAL GO JSO
"appears in acute distress" I would have to agree.
