On the afternoon of March 26, 2019 Matthew Roger Smith, 56, was scheduled for routine treatment at a Fresenius Dialysis Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico. When he arrived he needed dialysis. When he left he was charged with three counts of assault after he pulled a .357 revolver on Police Officer Oscar Magallanes and clinic staff, allegedly in an attempt to kill himself. And he still needed dialysis.
But what was the cop doing there to begin with?
That same day, prior to the gun incident and before beginning his treatment, clinic staff held a meeting with Smith to discuss his tendency toward outbursts and general agitation directed at clinic staff. Smith received treatment after the meeting, but the meeting didn’t prove terribly effective. Smith pulled out his access line during treatment, causing him to bleed heavily. When clinic staff attempted to control Smith’s bleeding he grew more agitated and staff in turn called 911. Upon learning that the police had been called Smith became irate. You can see for yourself what happened next.
Smith, of Hatch, New Mexico, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on two charges of aggravated assault on a health care worker with a deadly weapon and one charge of aggravated assault on a peace officer. All three charges are third degree felonies.

Wearing a hat with a Nazi SS death head badge. They should put him back in a room alone with his gun and let him do what he wants.
What I can't seem to understand is why someone would try to off themselves in public. If he wanted to die he should've done it at home or in his car.
I feel bad for everyone involved. This one almost got to me because i worry about my parents and I hope to god neither of them wind up doing this
Oh God … all the blood … Please help this man … Please pray for the man with no family â¤ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
Nurse kicks gun away and continues job like nothing happened….hero😆
" it's ok its ok!" "Its really not but I hear you" lol
My brother had kidney failure at the age of 19 and it was really tough on him. His was on dialysis for 5 yrs, so I can only imagine how tough it is on those at that man's age. He is depressed, he is always feeling sick and he is in pain. Doing dialysis is painful. And he has no one to comfort him or help him with his struggle. My brother still died 12 yrs after transplant. Due to enlarged heart caused by everything with his kidneys. So even after the struggle. He still died young. 34.
The only person who needs arrested is the person who made that damn sink
That officer is beyond amazing
Finally a cop who is not afraid of his own shadow. Most other cops would have blown this guy away.
This officer is outstanding, but according to the media, he’s a vicious killer looking to kill!!
George RR Martin hasn’t been the same since game of thrones ended
God bless this man I feel bad for him
nice, now he not only has to deal with dialysis, but also a prison charge… I can totally understand wanting to kill yourself if you have to go get dialysis every other day, but why do it in the clinic where you are going to scar all those innocent people? Be a man and do it at home ffs.
Those noises the machines are making would drive me nuts. I hate death but in this guy's case I'd say death is more than welcome. So many people are suffering and they just want it to stop. I wish everyone well
Poor man 🙁 I hope he gets the help he needs… nobody should have to feel this way it’s horrible
dude isn't helping himself at all. also wtf is up with the death's head cap
I commend this officer he handled this call very professionally & deesclating the situation this is good policing.
You can hear the anxiety in the officers voice over the gun & the blood 🩸 on him. I don’t blame him, that was a very dangerous situation on several levels
Fuckin’ sink! Geeze 🙄
I would have ripped that water faucet right off the counter, shit shut off every 2 sec…
That sink should be destroyed!
My Customer was on that he ended his life he hated it.. Very sad..😥😥😥😥😥
In a way I understand the patient here. His body is in shutdown. He's basically living to die. I feel so bad for him.
What a good cop
ARE YOU ENTERTAINED??!!
We have a mental health crisis in this country
He dint want to shoot himself, if he wanted he would already done in his house al by himself
Fuck that sink
Aniy was a good a job and I was told I was just told her to her job job and she told her I told her she told
This cop woulda never survived the 70s or earlier. It was all vomit and shit all over you every night from drunks. Everyone drank and peed on everyone. This cop is having a baby fit because he got a little blood on him.
Dude is reading a book about a genocide, no wonder he’s depressed
Wish he would have. Would have made a good bestgore video.
This cop has a kindred spirit. It's not something they can teach. It's something he is born with… Nice work!
I feel for the staff who had to deal with him in the hospital. I’m sure he was just as rude and unstable as he was at the clinic.
Man this is a sad one… that guy obviously was done with his life (probably stage 4) and just … gave up finally… sticking him in jail obviously would be silly at this point, but I hope he got some help.
Talk about a “Oh Shit†moment
The real criminal was the sink….
The guy is wearing a SS nazi skull symbol on his hat.
The nurse is a real hero
Thats a totenkpof symbol on the hat. NAZI SS officers pinned it on their hats. Evil bastards they were.
This Officer deserves a medal for heroism and one for compassion.
This job looks terrifying
This was actually sad to watch
Its selfish to force someone to keep living if they dont want to live
