A Texas family says they called the police asking for a mental health resource officer to visit the home, but their attorney says an officer who is not “capable of dealing with a mental health crisis” was sent. The Killeen police chief promised a thorough investigation and the officer involved is now on administrative leave.

Texas Police Officer Fatally Shoots Unarmed Black Man In His Yard | NBC Nightly News
You dropped the ball on this one police dept!!!
Bad…. Bad…. Bad blunder!!!
Gonna cost taxpayers a bunch as usuall!!!
Semper Fi!!
Never call the cops….just dont do it if you love your family members.
The #1 thing that went wrong was his family called the police, period. Stop inviting executioners to your door. It will not end all warm and fuzzy. A loved one will be dead and their executioner you invited will be exonerated of all blame and still doing executions.
But why he did this wird thing with the hands?.
Wow! He murdered the man!
The family is at fault. If you are black you should never call 911. Only bad will happen with a high chance of death. The cops can’t wait to get there bacause they know they are going to be able to use thier guns. Merry Xmas!
What happened when ever the camera panned down he could of had a gun or a knife and sprinted towards the officer..
Thank you God for cameras
My deepest condolences to you young lady I’m so sorry for your loss
Another one bites the dust.
PSA: Don’t call those Klan members thinking they are going to help. They are NOT! Every situation ends like this. SMFH
Police never learn
SMH
1st mistake… calling the cops
BECAUSE OF THING’S LIKE THIS COP’S ALLOVER AMERICA IN FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES, I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO PROTECT OURSELVES THIS KIND OF ACTION, HE WAS AN UNARMED PERSON, I AM IN FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND THAT OF MY FAMILY FROM UNCHECKED ACTION BY BADGES TOO MURDER US AND THE GOVERNMENT AND COURT’S ARE IN AGREEMENT.
Now if he was white man shot by a black cop/ man this video wouldn’t be aired! Biased liberal media
All the training in the world will not help a racist cop. There are some good cops somewhere but too many are just racist.
They specifically call for mental health assistance and instead they send a trigger happy racist with a gun. Tell me what families of color are supposed to do when they need help! They pay taxes like everyone else and those tax dollars are used to pay dirty cops that turnaround and murder them. Its sick
If you want a black person to be killed call the police
Its public knowledge that Cops look out for their own.
Why isn’t it in Media knowledge yet?
Cop killing an unarmed homeowner. That’s really unusual and hard to believe. Police are so well trained, honest, trustworthy, educated and pillars of the community. I don’t think that has ever happened before.
Watch the video you will see why he got shot not just a piece of it,the people with him called the cops then did nothing when he acted crazy .they acted like they set it up.
Thorough investigation but we’ll find ourselves faultless.
To all y’all gangsta rappers and gangsters y’all see the real oops. Killing our babies are women and our fathers and y’all ain’t doing s***
911 my mentally unstable family member needs help.
Cop: ok we’ll be right over to murder him for ya
Just remember the number one thing cops are trained to shoot you first and only then to call a ambulance
He was showing his hands …. now God is judging Texas
What went wrong is you called the police, Man you people are stupid and it cost the life of your family member.
Murder
The cop should be in prison for murder
A man is mentally unstable, and the cop knows this, so he screams at him, then tases him, and then kills him.
Murderer
That dumb cop with the itchy trigger finger should be held accountable and sent to jail.
Ffs what is wrong with US police officers, why do they think it’s
There right to shoot unarmed people. The man was clearly in a mental health crisis that had been relayed by the family, there are ways to deal with people in crisis. Escalating the situation and shooting someone because they don’t follow your… your every command that’s on you not them as they are clearly not in there right mind. It’s that stupid officer had knocked on the door and been receptive and calmed things instead of escalating life would not be wasted. Even his own family said to the dumb cop don’t shoot him he’s not got a weapon but these idiots with guns can’t help themselves there brain dead in the way they approach anything. If only they cared about protecting the lives of others over there fragile egos there would be a lot less needless death. There are far too many of there incidents and cops who don’t have a clue what being a human being is all about. There needs to be change, laws and training to stop this disgusting disregard for life. This cop needs to be fired and arrested, how can he fear for his life the man was unarmed
When will stop killing of unarmed African American
Never call the police black people unless you want someone to die. Police will escalate any situation.
So he charged a officer got tased got back up continued charging him and got shot? Seems justified to me
Same Ole words from the police. Different city but,same actions taken. We hear the same thing over and over again no matter where it happens.
I, a cop will investigate the cop who I work with..
In the end everything will be ok and turn out alright for well……
The cop will be ok anyway.
See! _All_ _fixed!_
scratching my head on this one
Clear example why police funds must be reallocated to hire resource officers for different situations.
They really should have used the police officer body cam not the door cam or the cellphone it only gets half the story. The officer arrived at the residence and entered when he was told to come in, once he entered Warren told the officer to come in further and yelled at him. The officer left the home and called for backup. The officer waited patiently outside for back up but Warren left his home and yelled at the officer. The officer told Warren to stop as Warren began to approach the office. The officer pulled out his taser and after giving his warning fired his taser as Warren continue to approach. Warren fell to the ground but got back up and continued to charge the officer. The officer continued to tell Warren to stop but he didn’t so the officer fired three shots. Warren fell to the ground but try to get back up, the officer told Warren to stay on the ground and said he we’ll help him. A second officer came and help put Warren in hand cuffs the officer who shot Warren said that he should’ve had more help and clearly didn’t want this to happen once the paramedics arrived the officer prayed for Warren’s recovery by reciting the Our Father. The family should have tried to stop Warren from charging at the officer and the family should have done more to help Warren during his mental break down. On the body cam once the officer enter the house most of the family is just watching the TV and was not trying to calm Warren down. There should have definitely been more experienced officers in those kinds of situations called. The officer should not be blamed for this he was trying to defend himself and was ill prepared, who should be blamed are the ones who thought to send him in the first place
Edit: you can watch the whole video on Video Leak Police
And why do they always put these people on ministrative leave but never stop paying them a lot of these cops are killing people and getting paid vacation when a citizen get in trouble any kind of trouble just a misdemeanor they go to jail the police need to start going to
I hope whoever call the police is held in jail.
Y’all need to stop calling these cops and get your minds together. You all know when you call them they going to say you tried to attack him
Murder
This was another racist cop. Executing a black person but no reason. I hope this cop is fired and convicted.
Are there any Mental Health workers out there that can tell us what you would have done differently in this situation?
It would shed some light on the differences between calling a police officer as opposed to a mental health worker.
If U see what’s is taking place is unarmed black people being shot by if not by white hate police or by Spanish .Spanish police are just as bad.Check it out.
I’m going back to watching Tom and Jerry this YouTube stuff is getting too whacked out And by the way why wasn’t this guy under the proper too all parties .
White Americans don’t view Black Americans as people.
Why are “you people” still calling the police
How many cases???? This is murder on every level including lawyer.
Wow so is the officers fault. So how would they have known he was mentally disabled. Was this said before the officer was sent out.?
STOP Calling the K.K.K To Help You Never in History have they Respected our lives
Can any of these cops fight hand to hand or is it their policy to just shoot if ever confronted by a black person. Remember they shot 66yr old woman in NYC.
That officer need to see the same fate
i would never call these corrupted demons ”OFFICERS” (the First Amendment) gives me the right to free speech to say this. and have yall noticed, a lot of these ”THUGS IN UNIFORMS” that shoot black people are whites and Hispanic .
This Officer need in jail
Mexican don’t like black people they don’t like Americans they just want Americans JOBs.
NEVER CALL THOSE DEVIL’S 💯
All black people be careful out there dont call the police call GOD
If Cops make mistake ,only right Thing is Life in prison and Not suspended or fired!
This is Killeen Texas they’ve been doing this for decades my father was stationed at Fort Hood as other black men this is a terrible Place Killeen
US police, goverment, CIA and FBI were founded for the extermination of black peoples by The Roman Catholic Antichrist church’s Jesuit priests
Elections over. No one cares
When cops are not arrested after shooting a man in cold blood, we must ask ourselves why. The usa judicial system is full of racism, and unlawful supporters.
IT’S ALWAYS THE WHITE COPS! ALWAYS!
DO NOT CALL WHITE RACIST COPS UNLESS YOU’RE READY FOR THAT MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY TO DIE.
We will he was coming to the cop’s trying to fight them
Cop just got promoted
You Have the Right to Defend yourself from All ***ENEMIES***
*****#DON**’T BACK THE BLUE***
FYI don’t call the cops in America. The chances of someone getting murdered
Are extremely high.. police will shoot & ask questions later
Lord have mercy, another citizen killer with a badge, incompetent fk, why they start with deadly force 5. Cowards
Dam shame..cops only know is. There gun
I waiting for YAH to return…i might not be here……to destroy all WS..every last one…he the only one can
The cop is not the problem his bosses are e
This man didn’t deserve to die on his property or at all. The officer is a coward and moves away from the view of the camera so the cop can make up a bogus report.
” feared for my life”. NEXT!
Paid vacation
Unfortunately I believe these shootings will continue until the city governments are bankrupt from the lawsuits and then they will take this culture of murder in the police force seriously. If we took away the cops guns and they had to learn how to deal with people instead of threatening and bullying people we would have a far better police force.
The police are not there to deal with this family’s responsibility. He was just seen the day before for the same issue.
The chief should not cover for this murder THESE PEOPLE ARE unfit to SERVE
Sent a Coward officer that can’t handle his job SUSPECT DIDN’T HAVE A WEAPON…THIS OFFICER SHOULDN’T BE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT….SIMPLE AS THAT!!!
They on code stop seeking help from the beast
Wow how blatant The Killing Police Department
Did you see what he police do look good hime walk out to the corner them shot hlm
All the police departments say is, we are going to do a thorough investigation into matter, can’t they do more, like, stop hiring psychopaths
If he had been white he would be in a padded room instead of a grave
YA RIGHT
Why does it say texas? Why not say US?
Here we go again snother unarmed black man, again if we don’t separate ourselves from these people, we will continue to be slaughtered ome at a time ,
When the cops start shooting,citizens should start shooting also.
murdered for walking away
Where are the riots?
This is a normal thing in america now. i am no longer shocked or surprised. it’s a casual day in the USA
This is not new. It’s just easy now to report an record.
PIG: I’ve worked in the force for five years now, so I’ve got experience in situations like this… in shoot first and ask questions later… *Aaah… FIRE!*
Even if he was still coming at you, what was the point of shooting him like he was a threat you had a gun pointed at him so you have power YOU HAVE THE UPPER HAND
If he would have listened instead of coming at the cop acting stupid after he is presumed to be mentally unhealthy
