Bodycam Shows Millville Man Wielding Machete Before Police Shoot Him

1. The officer was so calm at first, even as the guy came at him with the machete. It was only when he realized the guy was determined to force him to shoot that you start to hear any stress in his voice as he said “I don’t want to shoot you.” Tragic.

2. Our system is so f’d up. How many veterans have we seen on PA being killed by officers that were suicidal or having a mental breakdown? By no means is it the fault of the police officers, but it is the fault of our government. These men and women need help yet thousands are failed. May this man RIP, and I hope the officers are doing well. 🖤💙🇺🇸

3. Was he just another solider who needed help?
   I'm sure his sacrifice meant something.

4. why cant cops just shoot there legs or foot why go from the stomach when you know it more risky for them to die WHYYY CANT YOU TRY AND TAZE THEM FIRST THEN USE YOUR WEPON FOR YOUR LAST RESORT!!!

5. Could this officer shot the man in the arm with the knife? Was this preventable? I need some strangers to help me out with this one.

6. "I'm not black enough to be shot?" Idiocracy right there.

7. his 5150 turned to reality…………quick fast and in a hurry!!!

8. No mace no tasers no bean bags?

9. bullets are like medicine

10. The suspect seemed a bit aggressive. He needs to learn calming methods. Might I suggest 3 deep breathes, light yoga or tapping.

11. If a black officer was the one to shoot the suspect he would have been facing murder charges 💯💯💯 we seen that many many times

12. No Vet should be left to their own devices. They all deserve the best care all their lives. 💔

13. What is with all the machetes?
    Also

    I'm not your buddy, guy.

14. “I’ve been to Iraq bitch!!”

    “Um thank you for your service??”

15. The only appropriate response from that officer would have been “I’m not your guy buddy”

16. Imagine if the army vet had a spartan ar 550 armor he would be unstoppable

17. we live such a post ironic age that people think dying is not real.

18. USA is the whole circus 🎪

19. "That was stupid!" – It seems that lead is a truth serum.

20. Sad situation for everyone involved

21. Nice. A moment of clarity after he was shot: "Shit, that was stupid." Yes it was, yes it was. Suicide by cop is one of the most asshole moves a person can make. Can't do it yourself so you back someone else into a corner and force them to.

22. Did these officers not have tasers?

23. In my head I couldn’t help thinking “I’m not your guy, friend”

24. Dude really said “Im not black enough to be shot.”

25. "That was stupid". So…that wasn't the outcome he wanted. He definitely regretted it when it was too late. Gotta be a way to prevent that. Geez. Now, he'll just be a clip in an "Instant Regret" video. Sad.

26. "I'm not your buddy, Guy"
    Officer "My names not Guy, Buddy"

27. The start of this was a South Park reference. Yeah, that was pretty stupid. Perfect healthy dude, probably a father, is now dead and those who loved him will spend years mourning his suicide. Perhaps the cop could have shot his arm holding the weapon or even a leg to stop his approach. Nope, the color of your ass doesn't mean jack shit; you go towards cops with a weapon, you are probably going to die.

28. Yes genius that was stupid. lol

29. “That was stupid”. Yea ya think. What a shame

30. "I'm not black enough to be shot" hmm Even he knows what's up

31. I know he was carrying a machete but just shoot the guy in the legs. Cops are always trained for some reason to shoot to kill

32. I’m not your buddy guy! 😂
