Watertown, Wisconsin — On October 18, 2023, Watertown Police officers were looking for 30-year-old Justin Whitten as a suspect in an on-going domestic abuse investigation. At one point, officers found Whitten driving a vehicle and attempted a traffic stop with him. However, Whitten fled from police in his vehicle, going at least 70 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone; that pursuit was terminated. As officers were searching to see if Whitten crashed after they terminated the pursuit, law enforcement learned Whitten got out of his vehicle and was on a skateboard. At approximately 3:50 p.m., Officer Nathan Zubke was driving his squad car in the vicinity of 1300 Western Avenue in the City of Watertown when he saw an individual he believed was Whitten on a skateboard.
Whitten can be seen ignoring Officer Zubke’s commands to stop and get on the ground on footage from Zubke’s body camera. Officer Zubke ran after Whitten as he skateboarded away and was quickly passed by Officer James Simon’s unmarked squad car. Officer Simon’s body camera footage shows him drawing his gun almost immediately after parking his patrol car, pointing the weapon at Whitten, who appears to pull something black from his pocket. Officer Zubke is holding his taser, yelling “he’s got … gun, gun, gun.†Officer Simon shot Whitten twice, yelling for Whitten to roll away from the gun he was holding after he fell. Simon picked up Whitten’s gun, tossing it away from him as the man rolled onto his back. After officers handcuffed Whitten, EMTs arrived. He died at the scene.

It seems like the officers had premeditated firing their weapons
Merry Christmas, Watertown, Santa came early.
Great policing yet again.
why did you block it out…smh…not happy Jan.
Officer Simon is not driving an unmarked police car.
Wtf. No video, just blur, this channel gets more and more useless
Why do they always die ?? It was only two shots!! What kind of bullets do cops use?
Censorship is for communists
Feel sorry for the officer who had to make that decision. Im sure it will stay with him for the rest of his life
Come on officers! Didn’t your parents teach you to never shoot a man on a skateboard??
Don’t blur the video you cowards
F.A.F.O.
He was seen pushing wood and now he is pushing up daisies.
I bet the guy who got got didn’t buy his weapon “legally.†And lawmakers think barring people convicted of domestic violence from legally purchasing firearms is effective? I don’t think so, Scooter!
Wait, a domestic abuser took the room temp challenge? No loss whatsoever.
He forgot to say time-out.
Man warped into a blurry bubble. That’s some powerful ammo
😅
People are tired of the corporation called "police"
remind me never to skateboard in Watertown
Shutting
I fear the day I become a blur
I'd love to know how he actually THOUGHT that was going to play out lol…He played a stupid game and got his stupid prize! Congratulations, your an idiot!…

Slow draw Macgraw
I mean if you would have got on the ground and not pulled a gun. He’d still be alive. Sad to see.
Second officer saw he had a gun but didnt shoot???
For sale: slightly used (and possibly run over) skateboard. Former owner no longer has use for it…
"Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust" -Queen
Job well done, officers and MUCH thanks to your efforts to keep us safe! God bless.
I feel like I’m watching the Fall of Rome in decades, opposed to centuries.😞
Damn dude they blurred the shit out of that. So disappointed 😔
If you consider how many Trump voters there are I'd say we're dealing with stupidity.
And Winner of the Darwin Award goes to…😂
This HAS to be racism. I mean the cops were WHITE.
Nit Whitten……
Thank you Blue.
Watertown Police Department is now using a new experimental firearm that turns people into gray blobs when shot. This could be revolutionary, folks.
There are too many millennials named Justin anyway
Difficult to understand WHY the refusal to police officers orders seriously.
It's like he want to know how it feels being shot
So police will automatically start shooting a Citizen for just having gun.
Sounds like Martial law .
Ditched the car for the skateboard…poor choice lol
Over zealous cop on this one. Guy drew his weapon (I didn't see a weapon) but did not brandish. Cops need a vacation and re-training.
And another ones gone, and another ones gone, another one bites the dust. HEY!
The most important question is: how does such an idiot survive for up to 30 years? 🫣
And this is why you carry with one in the tube. This moron honestly thought he had to to draw on drawn guns, fiddle with his safety and try to rack his slide and the cops weren’t going to do anything 😂😂😂 As Bugs Bunny once said: what a maroon.
Skater boy left his board in the street.
Welcome to watertown
Si van a borrar las imágenes del sospechoso.. mejor NO PASEN EL VIDEO.. (pulgar abajo por éso).
