This wouldn’t have happened if he had believed in Allah
I think its bait, like it starts off with 2 black dudes engaged in friendly conversation and the white cop just walks up and starts beating that ass with his nightstick. Also why that dude gotta be styling with a drawn sword before he charged the cops? Crazy but funny.
Can’t determine whether they were lying or not. I think it’s likely he stopped, talked to the cops, and then unsheathed his sword or whatever to show them it was or wasn’t fake, cop freaks out, starts firing, prompting dude to run the fuck away because that’s the natural reaction to getting shot at.
At this point I wouldn’t trust a cop to not shoot me if he already has his gun drawn and made up his mind he needs to pull the trigger to stop whatever he perceives is a threat. At the end of the day, if I’m dead, he gets to tell his side of the story of what he imagined happens and gets to get off scot free with no responsibility.
This kinda stuff makes me sad that i have to live on this planet
I thought about this when I was watching the other video someone posted in the other thread of the guy at the gas station being asked by the cop to get his license and then the cop starts shooting because in his opinion the guy was “diving for a weapon.” You do what they ask, they start shooting, you don’t because you don’t feel safe, they’ll probably get pissy because you’re being “insubordinate.”
If I had been in that guy’s shoes, I’d have told the officer to call another cop and have him get the license because I don’t trust him not to cap my ass.
That said, this video doesn’t prove a thing. Why was dude running away? That alone makes me wonder what the deal was.
His cosplay was so convincing the cops thought he was a badass swordsman so they did take no risks.
I thought the same thing. probably unsheathed it to show em its not real…cops freak out…start shooting, kids like woah wtf did I do?
still.
doesn’t matter. they had no reason to stop him since its not unlawful to carry an unconcealed sword in public in Utah. Cops apparently didn’t know the very laws they claim to be out to enforce.
“If this guy starts breakdancing, we’re fucked.”
I’m such an asshole for this, but start playing this at 1:13 of the chase video in the first post. It kinda works for like 15 seconds until shitty Panda Express camera #2
Time to go watch Sam Cham. Can’t listen to the songs and not want to watch the show.
At least he didn’t die in the name of a shitty show.
It’s only right to play him off:
if someones running away they don’t deserve to get shot how are you a threat to the officer attempting to arrest you if your going in the opposite direction.
I think it’s better to play him off with this. This was a good episode. That bass
“Suicide by cop is a suicide method in which a suicidal individual deliberately acts in a threatening way, with the goal of provoking a lethal response from a law enforcement officer or other legitimately armed individual, such as being shot to death.”
The police officer smelled like sunflowers.
