Bodycam Shows Police Shooting Armed Suspect in Gastonia, North Carolina

1. This is why civilian ownership of guns is so stupid.

2. Lady not even caring about what just happened

3. If he has a gun, why not use it on himself? Are y’all that big of cowards to take two seconds to put it to your head and squeeze?

4. Is it just me or does this guy sound like Nicolas Erving

5. Sorry folks, I go the other way on these cops crying and losing it when they shoot an ahole who wanted to kill THEM!! if they can't deal with doing their job then they need to be fired. PERIOD. THAT'S the job you signed up for and society is just getting worse and worse so chances are if you are a cop, you're going to have to use your gun. Deal with it or go work at McDonalds.

6. Ok, all of these videos have convinced me: the police need an executioner squad, so every time one of these nut jobs comes out and yells "Shoot me!" The cops can be like "ok," and an armored, heavily arms cop just pulls up, shoots them, and goes on to the next one. Save everyone a lot of time and grief.

7. He only got 2 years probation…WTF..????

8. Excellent work very good

9. That's insane professionalism out there. Protecting the suspect from any police abusing power and the police officer. I hope the PO is doing fine now because he really did a good job aswell.

10. this was probably the most heartbreaking one i've seen and it's astonishing that this wasn't in the news

11. PO: "PUT the F'IN gun down"……A-Hole…"WHY"? Because pop, pop, pop…that's WHY!

12. I hope this officer is assigned to the Desk Duty detail for the rest of his career. He is now damaged goods. And somebody did take his gun because he looked unstable . Did he fire three more rounds after the officer go there?

13. if he wants to die why doesn't he take care of it by himself instead of involving innocent persons ?

14. watch?v=ntFanbnGwNk&bpctr=1617316705

    Kinda reminds me of this video. That was also a young black cop that didn't want to shoot someone. Really sad man. Such good guys 🙁

15. That poor fucking dude

16. I was working for the Gaston County Police when this incident happened. This officer started his shift thinking it was another normal night. Then it ended with his weapon being taken, put in an interview room, read his rights, and meticulously questioned. For those who think that cops aren't held responsible for their actions, you're dead wrong. We are held to a higher legal standard than anyone.

17. charged with only 2 years probation. Seems kind of lenient.

18. You can tell he didn’t want to shoot, it really hurts having to see this

19. He shouldn’t be working the job

20. I do not get it, when you have a gun, why ask cops to shoot you. Do it yourself, so you can be sure it is over in a second. when they shoot you chances are you will suffer and maybe survive, only to end in jail.

21. I love how the officers in my county have each other’s back this much. It makes me feel safer!

22. And people treat officers like there not human 😭😭 I hope all get well

23. why they ask him to give his gun? I've heard this a couple of times

24. Feel bad for these cops. What a hard job. These people are hero’s

25. Trumper down

26. Great points made below

27. Tell that female to find a new job..she's making it worse…her voice is sickening

28. Don't ever tell the officer involved to get off the scene ever again let him obtain his arrest and do his job..he was more than capable..I hate hearing a women cop speak

29. That black officer must really love white people. He shot 4 times and only hit him once and was still devastated about what he had to do. The poor white guy just wanted to die and nobody could help him, so now he struggles on.

30. The officer really did not 🚫 want to shoot him this is heart breaking 💔

31. Wtf! Only two years probation?

32. So was he post to shoot him or not

33. Dude needs to check himself and see if he really wants to be a cop.

34. thanks but no thanks. i am gonna stick to my normal day job.

35. Rip guy, sorry life got you that hard. I hope the officer can sleep agin without dreaming about this

36. Literally, almost teared up from that. You could hear immediately he didnt want to shoot him

37. Nobody understands what it's like to kill another human, Unless you're a cop who has been in a similar situation like this video or a solider who has killed before.

38. God bless this officer

39. The humanity of the shooting officer was heartbreaking. But his supervisor/SGT? That woman’s gonna run a big department one day! She is cool and tough!

40. They need to show this video to people. People acting like Cops enjoy pulling that trigger.

41. are you ready? paying attention, fuckwits? you sure?

    @3:04

    what does the cop say?

    well?

    "I CAN'T BREATHE"

    see that? hear that? now the next time you hear someone say: "I can't breathe" maybe you will understand what might be going through their heads, you damn fuckwits.

42. That poor officer😢

43. Sad

44. Bruh I wish I could hug that cop. God damn that hurt hearing him break like that.

45. For the people that didnt read the description, he survived.

46. Dang this was like 30mins from my house even Gastonia has its days i guess
