After reviewing evidence and items in an investigation of an officer-involved shooting that left one man dead and another officer shot, the Saginaw County Prosecutor’s Office has found no criminal wrongdoing occurred. On Wednesday, Aug. 23, dash-cam video of the events leading up to the shooting was released by the prosecutor’s office. A police officer in Saginaw Township just after 1:30 p.m. on July 19, arrested Farhad Jabbari on West Michigan near Leo on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The officer, who has not been named, administered field sobriety tests and a preliminary test on Jabbari, according to the prosecutor’s office. After the officer placed the Jabbari in the back seat of his patrol vehicle, the officer noticed that Jabbari was tampering with his handcuffs, freeing one hand from restraint, according to the prosecutor’s office. In a video released by the prosecutor’s office, the officer could be heard asking “What are you doing?” before exiting the driver’s side and going to the rear drivers side door of the police vehicle. During the same time, before the officer enters the back seat, the vehicle began to move as if there was a commotion in the back seat. The back-passenger side door could be seen recoiling from some sort of impact from inside of the vehicle.
According to the prosecutor’s office, when the officer entered the vehicle to restrain Jabbari, he was immediately attacked by Jabbari, who gouged at the officer’s eyes. A struggle ensued that lasted a few seconds when another officer appeared and tried to help subdue Jabbari from the rear passenger-side of the police vehicle. In the video, that officer, who also has not been named, opened the door and grabbed Jabbari seconds before several shots were fired. The officer immediately retreated as he was shot in the arm. Jabbari died at the scene and both officers were treated at local hospitals. Michigan State Police took over the investigation and turned their findings over to the prosecutor’s office last week. The press release from the prosecutor’s office concluded: “Since the entire struggle and shooting was very quick and lasted only seconds, as verified by witness statements and confirmed by video and audio preserved by the MSP detectives, it is the determination of this office that there was insufficient time to formulate any criminal intent. We find no criminal wrongdoing in the use of deadly force by the officer who was being attacked by the suspect. It is clear that under all of the circumstances that the officer was justified in acting in a manner consistent with self-preservation.”

Couple of idiots
The glare off their bald heads also probly played a role in obstructing his vision.
I just read the comments. Dude I'd fkn quit
Cross fire cross fire.
What are these people thinking when they react like this? Is a DUI really worth killing or dying over? The name suggests that he’s Muslim so he may have been worried about it being publicly known that he was intoxicated on alcohol but that’s speculation.
That's good for your ass
Hhhhhhhhhh pigs
is this real..seems like a cartoon or meme…lol
Esos cuicos tan muy burrus , muy puñetas pues
When you’re executing handcuffed, unarmed suspects sitting in a vehicle, make sure another street judge isn’t standing at the other door. That’s day one stuff folks.
Maybe we should stop shooting people in hand cuffs?
I'm just glad both officers were alright, including the one wounded in the arm by friendly fire. Since it happened just outside the Saginaw City Limits, when the shots fired call came in, officers from both Saginaw Township and the City of Saginaw could have responded to the scene, along with either the Saginaw Township or City of Saginaw Fire Departments due to each having a firehouse nearby, and Mobile Medical Response with one of their ambulances to take the wounded officer to Covenant or St. Mary's for treatment for his gunshot wound.
us cop's are amateurs. they can shoot and nothing else!
This is like an episode of the keystone cops.
Score one for black lives matter
You know they happy
Poor shot. He only hit him in the arm. Sad
I could really go for some mac and cheese right now
I'd be getting a new partner if I was that guy.
See what happen to many donuts and shifty gun skill
functional jerks, hahaha ….
Animal: 0 Humans:1
One of the most important things u learn in the police academy WATCH OUT FOR CROSS FIRE!!!!! come on guys!!!
Title should be: "One fat inept cop shoots another"
Imagine this happening in a more complicated situation…
Where’s the evidence of the “eye gouging†that led to the actual shooting?
2 big ass cops could not restrain this drunk man without killing him?
Cops says me, I need that.
Damn the cop that accidentally shot his partner was tripping after, tried to put tourniquet on dead/dying suspect instead of his partners arm. Its a hard stressfull job at times i understand.
The officer who accidentally shot his partner owes him a King Size Snickers bar.
Por favor pongan subtÃtulos en español .
It is rare these days to see police who are physically fit. Look at vintage black and white photos, every one of those officers look like they could play on a college football team. Now the requirements appear to be "if you can squeeze in to the uniform and waddle to to the scene you are fit for service". These shootings are more common because the police are not capable of going 2 vs 1 in a wrestling match and win. They used to be able to.
