Cop murdered this kid murder cops are out of control and don't know how to do there job !
Innocent or not american police treat we the people as if we are all criminals all in the name of officer safety
So why are the officers not charged for murder?
In his 911 call he seems to be referring to "skin walkers". Could it be that that was what he was terrified of? Could they have handled this as a case of having a mental breakdown?
And that cop shop's still standing?? Those Coloradoans sure seem to have an overabundance of patience.
i would never accept money in exchange for my son's life, that family is an embarrasment just as those officers. all those officers there should be in jail
I rmembe this incident the whole video was hard to watch. They Murdered a man having a mental issue who called them for help & was not a direct threat to anyone .
Sitting in a locked car with a knife by yourself. Cop 20ft away, "I fear for my life" from behind this windshield, commence mag dump!
So if you are in your house they call SWAT and negotiate with you, but in your car shoot shoot.
This is a difficult one for me because the police had options but at the same time the dude had a deadly weapon and was making clear movements to suggest he intended to use it against the police. IMO the cop who broke the window should have OC'd and probably tased Christian so that the other cops could open the driver side door and pull him out. But that's me being an armchair quarter back. This is was a bad situation where in a mentally disturbed person had a deadly weapon and had clear intent to use it against police. As CRL points out the jury pool was likely poisoned by negative media attention. I'd feel better about this outcome if it was more clear cut that A. the cops did something wrong and B. the jury hadn't been interfered with.
Reminds me of James Boyd.
Teach your children to call you or a friend if they are in a non-life threatening situation and just need help. This kid would be alive if he'd called his parents, a friend or even a tow truck. The police are not your friend in any situation. They've been known to throw citations on the stretcher of a car accident victim who is dying. They are trained to view you as the enemy.
How many citizens have to be MURDERED, money doesn't cover murder!!
Money. no matter how much can not replace a dead person. A prison sentence can not replace the forever sentence of death which lasts forever.
They wanted to save the car… he might cut the seats.
This was murder!!
Earning the hate
when i saw this long ago i thought WTF these cops are actors? Poor kiddo… he was a silly lad asking for help. Cops created false reality.. they should be publicly beaten
I had several conversations with my ex-wife’s uncle, who is Ellisville cop. He said he can’t make anything in your vehicle a concealed dangerous weapon. And he has the right to defend himself no matter what it takes.
So the cops say they’re there to help this man. But they end up killing. I will post to trust the cops. They are the new SS Hitler’s troops.
I know a Ellisville cop who said he doesn’t care how many times the city gets sued. It does not affect him in anyway. He said he’s been sued several times and has a cost him a dime.
So, again. The cops get away with 1st degree murder. The cop deserves the death penalty. Hopefully he will get it on the streets.
First Degree Murder.
They should go to prison.
This is sad. A young man who is having some sort of mental issue and said he was afraid loses his life because police show up and surround his car and even stand on the hood pointing guns at him. Im sure that made him feel less afraid.
(Sarcasm used)
Seems to me they just didn't want to deal with this situation so they chose to END it.
Police need to stop being trained in the " us verses them mentality". Not every situation can be solved by an overwhelming display of authority!!! In fact many times that just makes things much worse.
But hey… I agree with John. Our government hates us. Displays like this proves the point.
Any body could have a mental crisis and please dont call the police unless you want them to die. That poor child.
Is Tony Montana Scarface in the car? Come on, it's just a kid!
I do believe your videos are being censored
I was watching the video on my TV on YouTube and usually I’m able to give a like and read comments and I was not able to do either. It is blank.
I had to open YouTube on my phone to be able to make this comment and read other comments
I am sympathetic to the poor kid, but why is someone who has a mentally challenging condition, such as this boy had, allowed to drive in first place?
Not the first time someone who asked for help got shot by police.
Mental illness is not a new problem. All the police have to do to avoid costly settlements is watch a police training film from 1960.

My problem with the payout is the fact that the police officer who shot this young man will not be the one paying ‼️ it will actually be the tax payers who pay this cops salary. That’s absolutely unfair. I do hope that the officer who shot this young man unable to be a police officer
when your only tool is a cosplayer with a tactical arsenal, every problem is a firefight
Cops want total control. They command and you obey.
Nice. More multi-million dollar settlements! This is the Land of opportunity for real!
😒
same old application of unequal force and life value. you're not a cop…you life has little value. not all cops think this was but way too many do and it is in line current police policies and training. Just no common sense de-escalation measures being used consistently in America. Just everyone being told they are a victim getting more and more belligerent…not just cops either.
So the kid was going to kill himself so the cop did it for him? Unbelievable.
Assisted murder? Kevorkian?
These cops are the criminals. they don't know how to talk normally to a human.
I honestly believe some cops just want the bragging rights of saying they were in a shootout and shot the perp. It’s hard to believe any thing other than “ I want a body count” could explain this behavior.
Niave kid showed love hands to his plotting murderers.
😢😢 common for officers to calm one has no rights once they call for help from 911…I am more convinced of this daily based on their behaviors.
My opinion: never call a cop if you need help or if you’re worried about a loved one. The cops are a danger and threat more than any situation you are in most of the time.
He had only just been diagnosed with ADHD at the time. Depending what medication he was on for ADHD. hallucinations have been reported as a side effect of Adderall. The case was all over the news here in New Zealand at the time.
American Cops: No sad incident is too trivial for the cops to escalate into shooting a kid five times for no real reason..
I love it how the title doesn't say "Police shot and KILLED kid who called for help".
. . . I believe this all is mainly about POOR and WRONG training – these allmost always fearful cops are trained to protect themselves against theoretical threats at any time which in reality at nearly no time exisst . . .
How tragic.
Did anyone go to prison for 19 million dollars?
Thee settlements need to start coming out of police pensions. This is egregious.
What about Philandro Castile was shot and killed in St Paul Minnesota by an officer shot five times in the chest for absolutely nothing. Philandro was pulled over for a driving violation of some kind completely compliant.
He was probably being staulked.
His girl freind and baby were in the car.
The cop got off totally free. Minnesota law enforcement has gone full tilt insane. And they talk about the terrible BLM and antifa.
