The video is a little hard to find. I thought it was going to be on YouTube but instead found dozens of "What we would have done" uploads as if there's a way to prepare against an unhinged guy with combat experience and military training.
Not really NSFW, there's nothing graphic or anything... but the screams are definitely NMS, so recommend watching with sound turned off.
Holy hell. This is tough to watch. If anyone is going to watch it, I'd recommend audio off
I read the Wikipedia story, saw the video, started playing, thought better of it, and ran away quickly.
I watched the whole thing. It's not the worst thing I've watched, but you can hear the cops desperation and fear before a very distinct death rattle. It's absolutely horrible no matter what walk of life you are
What I don't understand is the army vet was leaving already and the cop was wounded and sounded worse for wear, why fire at him again? He could have survived that encounter and pressed charges later with his dashcam footage.
Cop was doing his best to neutralize a hazard. I'm sure in the moment with adrenaline going, the only thing he could probably think of was stopping him. He was doing his job all the way to the end
