DashCam Shows Cop Break Down After Shooting Man | NBC News
most officers go 20 years without killing someone, He killed two in a short length of time
Knowing how fast things could go south, this man reacted in accordance with NOT WANTING TO DIE. So I’d say his reaction was reasonable. Just cause some people go their entire careers without some bad like this happen, doesn’t mean it won’t happen to ANYONE in that career path. Not every Nuclear plant worker will deal with a meltdown but some have.
I hope officer Morrison gets put down! F the police!
Crystal Jones😂😂 perfect name
Anyone know how long she is in prison?
Guy had meth in his system, but no gun in the car. So the shooting was justified. Unreal this cop should locked up for 30 years but he cried on camera so the murder was excused.
BS ,Crocodile tears. Bet he celebrated when he got home.
POV: you only came here cus you saw it on tik tok
The family of Ramirez looks like they’ve all been Methin around
They’re Methodists who enjoy some methmetics
It has to be remembered, that no matter what kind of person a criminal may be, he is still a citizen of this country, and as such, his death will be treated as any other death by the courts, and by the justice system.
When an officer must use deadly force, the incident is treated like a murder; because essentially that’s what it is. What needs to be determined is if that murder was justified under the circumstances that were presented to the officer at the time he used the force that produced the death of a human being. If the facts show that the officer used deadly force under the right circumstances, and within the law, then he will not be held criminally liable, and the death will be termed a Justifiable Homicide.
If not, then the officer will face the same prosecution any other person would face in any other murder.
That is how the system works for us.
He was a SUSPECT a Suspect people not proved …. he Believed the suspect was going for a Gun and he shot another Suspect cause he was going for a B B gun ? Fuc this cop hes a murderer in a costume . He new where to cry tho in front of the Dash camera so internal investigation could show HOW REMORSEFUL HE IS ( LIGHTS CAMERS ACTION BOO HOO HOO 😭😢😭😭😭 )
Alright how about you stand in-front of someone who MIGHT have a gun and see how you feel when they start moving somewhere you can’t see, real fast. People like you are disgusting.
@Asdfghjkl Zxcvbnm ok im in a state where people do carry concealed , I suppose everyone has a gun ….. your point is ? Stop being such a scary twig ..!
Sending love to cops.. I would loose. It too
so did he have a gun or not?
Yes
It doesn’t matter if your reaching for a gun with a cop telling you hands in the air you killing your self I’ve seen countless videos of cops not shooting and they get shot
Real John Nolan
Poor police officer he’s probably going to be scarred for life
To the family I understand how you feel
BUT well you please stop yes he took the life of a bother a son a cousin, but the officer has to live with this pain please stop hurting him more this pain is going to stay with him for the rest of his life
And your son robed someone with a gun and bet if he had pointed it at you you would have call the police
Remember sometimes you fight sometimes you don’t knowing when to fight and when not to is the thing that makes use hero’s ( my name) 2021
weak
He had no choice he had to do what he had to do but I understand his frustration and sadness bc he didn’t really wanna do that he was scared for his life 😓
Public murder, again…and again…..and again……and again…..
Sorry what?
He is a true cop
. I support him at any cost
Poor cop. Would be hard job.
_More context needed. So i stay silent._
I mean I don’t know if pulling out your gun and putting everybody on the car in danger was the best move but the dude put somebodies life at risk by supposedly commuting an armed robbery as well
It’s very rare to see cops being remorseful.
Bull#%^# the cop goes to front dash cam and makes crying noises without tears it looks like
Acab
This man is a crook! This his 2nd time shooting a person.
People who are saying just say license and registration HE RECOGNIZED A PERSON WHO COMMITTED AN ARMED ROBBERY REACHING INTO HIS POCKET
He shot that man unprovoked.
His whole family look like they on meth 👀
Was there a gun under his professional observation he was able to tell he was under the influence of Narcotics by looking at him
And if you was right in killing him why the breakdown if it was justified
I am not mad at the officer, it’s a scary job, but I think he shot TOO QUICKLY out of fear.
When you take somebody life deliberately you supposed to be happy their gone
If a cop cries after he kills someone, then he was a good cop… If a cop kills a man and doesn’t cry… Then that man is just a thug in a blue uniform.
Yea right…fake tears…
Ok Ruben you try killing someone you’ve never met. You are a sheep to the media and think because this man is a cop, he is evil. Ignorant people like you are the problem.
@yoinky sploinky faxs
Play stupid games with police and win stupid prizes.
1:42 *was the ONLY choice he had
And they say women are emotional
Look at the suspects mothers face at 1:30, that appears to be a “Meth-face”. The suspect was doomed from birth with a mom like that probably.
He shoots a lot of people
I would as well but I would still be gratefull I’m alive
Its not easy to shoot some
see most cops are good people
Pathetic that cop needs to be put in jail
Crying 😭 evilllllll low life. He could have stepped back and shot him once. If thought that was the only choice he had then that little boy shouldnt be in any uniform. MURDERING cry baby.
1:34, Looks like a court room full of tweekers! I bet the three women up front have a combination of 10 teeth!
My dad was a sheriff for 16 years, he had to do this waaaaay to many times. This line of work messes a person up.
He shouldn’t have done that.
Everyone who says he could have not taken that mans life. the suspect WAS armed and very dangerous with a weapon at arms reach the officer knew the situation he was going into. Therefor he drew his service weapon. The reason the officer did not and could of not use nonlethal equipment was tasers and pepper spray would not save you within the gunfire of an armed person, what if the officer was to use his taser and he missed he cant just reload that fast with a taser. Possibly getting himself killed. But say he did not miss and he hit the man with the taser who’s to say it would take any affect on the man as it does happen. The officer used the correct discharge of his service weapon. The officer did try to get the guy to surrender but the suspect reached for a weapon resulting in the officer discharging a full magazine onto the suspect taking his life.
Now this scene will live on with that officer forever.
What a girl
They seriously named their kid Richard Ramirez…?
I think the only reason he shot the guy was because he was high on meth. The guy that he shot was probably dangerous. To me he saved those passengers that was in the car life’s.
There are good cops.
His cry was gut wrenching. Hope he has found some peace in the years since this incident.
Do we know if the guy was armed? Like did he pull a gun on the officer? I ask because refusing to put your hands up doesn’t warrant getting shot 3 times
You didn’t watch the video did you 🥱
This young man has already taken two lives in his short time as an officer. I am starting to think that these officers are taking lives as badges of honor. Absolutely sickening.
That is sad for that young police officer I feel sorry for him.
why are all criminals called richard ramirez???
I actually feel bad for the officer! They aren’t all bad ! I feel sorry for the few good ones ! 😕
Why are they crying about it, sure its sad your son died, thats understandable, but filing a lawsuit against a cop who was just tryna arrest him. Your son was on drugs and had what looked like a weapon, what do you expect to happen.
Non ci crede nessuno alle tue lacrme di coccodrillo
0:31 I want to give him a hug, he literally broke down in tears, he must have felt so guilty 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Cop on the witness stand… I believed he had laser eyes and he was going to cut me in half with them so I shot him.
cops are heroes I salute you hero’s
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This male has no F business being an officer. He clearly can not deal with the public.
He’s only crying because he’s so happy that he’ll get a paid vacation and can take it easy now
POLICE ARE THE #1 ENEMY OF CHRIST: (JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING FOR THEM)!
Police (Tyrants) are as far removed from the body and blood of Jesus Christ as the east is from the west…!!!
Most people agree police are Satan’s earthly foot soldiers! (Wolves clothed as sheep) ….
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY MUST BE REMOVED FROM POLICE TO END ILLEGAL ABUSE WITH SATANIC DEMI-SUPER-POWERS THAT GRIND AGAINST THE GRAIN OF THE HUMAN SOUL…
By far the majority of society hates cops….. (Defund the criminal organization or remove qualified immunity)
0:57 his neck is wider than his head
Guys a actor bad at everything he should be jailed
Make sure you break down in tears in front of dash cam
Wow. Did he really say Richard Ramirez. Wtf
HUMAN.
If that was true then good
but if he’s lying then that’s just evil
If I was a cop and I killed a thug I would be smiling haha
you type that out but can you really take someones life regardless of who they are?
@cosmoman.EXE if it’s a criminal of course I can cuz they deserve it
its never the 1st time with these maniac cops
It’s funny how it was a white guy so no one’s bashing the Officer in the comments
I know of police officers and sheriff’s who would insult this man for breaking down. The thin blue line does not allow emotion.
That family definitely uses some meth
This should be in jail or put to death penality as there was no gun
The family wearing shirts of a man who was reaching for a weapon and high on meth? Can I buy your entire stock so I may burn these shirts in a bon-fire to celebrate this armed robbers death?
What weapon?
It appears staged.
He went to that dash cam to show those fake crocodile tears (in my opinion) he wasn’t sincere. He said he was gonna shoot him so he did. And this isn’t the first time he killed someone and got away with it. Which is probably why he did those fake tears the fact he knows that there is a cam there says a lot. Idc if the guy was high or not if he didn’t pull a gun you don’t shoot
Show a video Ramirez pulling a gun. If you cannot show a video Ramirez pulling a gun arrest the officer and charge him with murder.
EXACTLY! THAT COP WAS F****** FAKING! HE ALREADY MURDERED SOMEONE BEFORE TOO. PEOPLE ARE SO F****** IGNORANT TO HOW SADISTIC COPS REALLY ARE.
richard ramirez?
I wouldn’t have been in the company of those doing drugs in the first place
Faker! Cop Just wants to make sure he wasnt going to be found guilty.
I hate these sadistic narcissistic welfare recipient Sovereign citizen blue gang members !
where real men cried
When you see a grown men crying it hits different
I’ve come to a conclusion cops are more powerful than the president
Cryed for the camera , not a hero . Police are not heros they never were .
Wow justifiable homicide may God strike this man and his family down with the tractor trailer God willing
I don’t do cops, but it’s clear that the police didn’t want to shoot this guy. The cop didn’t know it was a BB gun. I hate to say this, but the shooting is justified. The cop is broken. He actually decent. Killing people isn’t normal
I get sick in my stomach from all the family members reactions when one of their family members gets shot like they’re some kind of law abiding innocent citizens contributing to society. I also feel feel sorry for the officer but I’d rather see you alive and well then some meth head running around like a madman.
High respect to this officer. It shows how much he didn’t want to shoot. Just because they’re officers doesn’t mean they’re not human.
2 shootings and no gun equals that this cop shouldn’t be wearing a badge. Defending this cop equals people that have no experience in Law Enforcement. 🙏🇺🇸
0:16 Was this dudes name really Richard Ramirez? With a name like that you know there’s gonna be trouble 😂
*A Officer With A Heart. Rare These Days. Don’t Ever Let That Go!*
