Mesa, Arizona — On Friday, June 24th 2022, Mesa Police Officers patrolling on East University Avenue, witnessed a man jaywalking in the street and nearly get hit by a car. Officers stopped the man, identified as 54-year-old Paul Newman. As Newman squatted down by the chain link fence, the officer noticed a bulge on Newman’s right side. He alerted the other officer who was with him. The first officer approached Newman, as the second officer remained several feet back. The officer told Newman that it looked like he had a gun and pointed to his right side.
Newman reaches with his right hand, to his rear waistband and starts to stand up. The first officer was standing right next to Newman and reaches for Newman’s hands, while asking Newman what he has. Newman reaches with both hands towards his waistband and pulls out a handgun and fires one round. That’s when the second officer shot back. Both officers took cover by the patrol car, while waiting for backup officers to arrive. When those officers arrived, an action team was formed and Newman was giving commands. Newman did not respond to the commands, so a less lethal beanbag round was deployed.
Once secured, officers rendered aid to Newman and he
was taken to the Hospital and recovered from his injuries. A gun was found next to Newman on the ground and a second gun was also found in his waistband rolled up in a blue bandana. It was also discovered Newman had a $100,000 warrant for his arrest out of Coconino County for possession of dangerous drugs, and also had a large number of illegal drugs in his backpack. Newman was booked at the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

How the fuck is he alive?
Not often you see huwhyte people acting this stupid. Must be the alcohol.
Crazy how he survived that. That was alot of shots
Hope this doesn't effect my "Newman's Own" dressings. 🥗
And he lived … I swear some people are made of Kevlar
I wonder at times when police activity is going to upload and when they do I need my daily dose of this lovely channel.. love this channel,do you?
Somebody should tell these people that the Darwin Award doesn't come with any money and is only awarded posthumous.
Can't believe he lived.
Stupid prizes?
I didn't think he would survive
200 shots fired but he will recover? LOL
"I dont have a gun"
**5 seconds later
"Let me show you my gun"
Wtf was this guy thinking?
I don't like the spoilers at the beginning of these episodes. I'd rather it be a surprise.
Man saying dont shoot me i have a gun while setting off the fire arm
It's sad when they don't listen to the officers that are there just to help
zu viel GTA gezockt
Boy, that escalated quickly! Brick where did you get a hand grenade?
Stormtrooper accuracy
Well isn't that something. They shot a white man who actively resisted them and wasn't listening to their lawful orders.
That doesn't really fit the narrative, huh?
That motherfucker recovered???
Ah, executed for jaywalking. Just another day in old fascist America
That idiot is the poster child of who shouldn't have a gun…
Did he fire accidentally while pulling it? The shot was straight down it looked like. Justified shot, but I wonder if it was idiocy over malice on his part.
Sucks to have so many guns that cops are afraid of their life to see citizens with guns.
Ah yes the old talking and denying while in the middle of trying to reach for your gun and take out an officer to get away 😂
Seems like an accidental discharge, officers were lucky
thank you PoliceActivity for what you do.

Along with all of the drugs in his backpack he probably had a few hundred illegal ballots in there also.
Can’t believe he survived 🤣
