#Shooting #Utah #TrafficStop
Im just saying, this is like playing pubg an get crazy on one guy in the building… i mean i know its a game and don’t think much of it, however i would not get trigger happy in situations like this! I know some cops are cool, but this was like playing a video game to them, the adrenaline and them pulling the guy off the car, just like the cops that pulled a gun on the other asian dude with his phone!
Lmao somone tell me why this reporter who is narrating the video sounds the way he does from 1:23-1:32? Like his vocal fluctuations and cadence is infused with this ambiguous insinuation of wrong doing on behalf of the officers that is solely be expressed to the viewer through his vocal tonality lol.
show us the gun
murderers, unjustifiable homicide
I’m sorry but 20 shots point blank range and 3-4 shots after a seize fire command is not justified though
should have never happened
@Green Wave I agree that man never should have pulled a gun on cops.
@PatRiotPat7 7 he didn’t
What were they shooting at? Name the imminent credible deadly threat presented by the driver to the officers who shot. Each must justify their use of deadly force. I’m not seeing it in this video or the longer version.
@PatRiotPat7 7 even the police don’t claim the driver “pulled a gun” yet you keep parroting a false narrative.
Guy acting like the Jedi mind trick is real. He watched Star Wars too many times
Clearly we do not know who Chase Allan was and why the system wanted him out
Do all police officers in USA believe they are in an action movie???
Gun..gun….lets empty our guns in the suspect!
WTF.
After pride comes the fall
after pigs comes the lawsuit
Police state tactics, the police are determined to always be in control even when they don’t have the right to control, or else the person will be turned in to a criminal through escalation, shoot to end it… situation under control. Alive driver to dead criminal in like 1 minute or two? The police forced this death, it didn’t need to happen.
Genetically and mentally deficient kid was removed from the gene pool.
Darwin wins again 👍
These officers are absolutely out of control. He never once went for the gun. Never pointed it. They never told him put your hands up. Just said “gun gun gun” and starting unloading. This is insane. I don’t agree with the kid but as a American this is absolutely disgusting
@HeyitsLina what information did he need. Get out the car multiple times from an officer… that’s all the information you need.
Not only did he go for the gun, he pulled it out of his holster.
@mendez mechanics THAT ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT give police the right to murder you with 20 plus bullets! This country has law and a constitution that police are sworn to uphold! You have the right to carry a fire arm. He never once unholstered it or went for it. He didn’t comply with getting out of his car. Stupid? Yes. But absolutely nothing he did justifies being shot uncontrollably by dozens of bullets. These police today had NO training and even less discipline. Police in America have become nothing more then a untrained overtly militarized corrupt organization of gang members. THAT is a fact and it’s absolutely disgusting. BYW I used to be a huge supporter of law enforcement. I can no longer justify their actions. They escalate 90% of situations and turn off cameras, lie and cover up their actions. I see them joking about the use of violence they get to use on defenseless people, purposely trying to get people killed, planting evidence, lying and watching their partners do the most disgusting vile corrupt things while they sit by and say NOTHING! A force like that isn’t brave, they are cowards! Vile disgusting cowards who have no one but themselves to blame for why people hate them with a passion, which is a absolute travesty
@Stage Name you have already lost credibility by making up statistics. There is no way you can show data where cops escalate 90% of situations they are in.
Safe communities and effective policing go hand in hand, and it is like making sausage, people may not like watching it but everybody loves a taste when it’s done
How to get pulled over should be part of every driver’s license test.
These idiots don’t take driver’s license tests. They think they don’t have to follow any laws.
he follwed the legit rules, the pigs killed him unlawfully. look it up
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽 ~ Wait, I thought this didn’t happen to white people? Especially non-poor ones? I’m not trying to be nasty to BLM activists, I’m just trying to get them to research the fact that whites are killed all the time too.
I do believe racial bias is real and is in virtually every area of our society. But that doesn’t mean every time a white person does something negative to a POC that is about racial bias. And it’s just so unfortunate that radical left wing people cannot take into consideration how difficult it is to be a cop and that society needs proactive cops. But just to be clear, that doesn’t absolve the radical right wing people from being just as foolish on the other side, I’ve been believing that cops are altruistic saints.
And this may be mean to say, but this family that was killed does not make me shed a single tear. It shows you how extreme they are when this dead kid’s mother actually sued the police just for pulling her over even though they did not make her get out of the car or anything. Sometimes they do it to sovereign citizens, and sometimes I don’t. So I’m glad they pulled him out the car, and I’m glad he is no longer a waste of air in a waste of space that has the same right to vote as I do. The world is better off without him. Sorry.f
It just means that the State and police are terrorists of this country, to anyone who is not part of the PD. Unless you bribe them or bow on your knees for their mercy, even begging for their mercy they will still shoot you. They are Nazis and killer machines.
Can you cite where anyone from BLM said absolutely no white people are killed by police? I’ll wait.
The right side is the seat belt you undo before getting out
It is also where he had the gun in his hand and it was on the floorboard after everything was finished.. but you’re ignoring that..
@ReZgar You’re ignoring that the end of the video is heavily edited !
@Nameless faceless youtuber yes the news edited the video and yet you can find the unedited video if you choose not to be lazy.
The guy went for his gun and wound up dead due to his sovereign citizen stupidity thinking there were no consequences
@ReZgar why would the news cover up exonerating evidence for the police ?Someone else told me and the unedited footage doesn’t prove much for the police either , it actually makes them look worse ! After the shooting the first officer obstructed his camera against the car and reached his left arm in and tampered with the scene before they got any footage ! They were acting like he was still a threat after they shot him 25 times so they would’ve removed his weapon per police procedure and it looks too neatly placed to have fallen like that in a shootout !
Condolences for the death of that man, but this is a logical conclusion of immense stupidity and a willingness to risk an enevitable extreme confrontation with law enforcement.
It’s sad that the pig had to pull him over in the first place
@Green Wave what rtight refusing orders and trying to pull a gun?
@Mark V he had no registration and the plate was fake, that is a common tactic for drug and human traffickers
@Carl the longshoreman the police ride around with no registration, state exempt plate and pay no taxes or insurance on their police cruisers. I guess that makes them a common tactic for drug and human traffickers
You know they only hire room temperature IQ pigs.
i wonder if that person was under narcotics or if he had mental issues… because his behavior was not logical. unfortunately the police officer will not wait to clarify if that person is a criminal or just mentally ill. Rest in peace.
The mom raised her son to be obnoxious and not cooperate with police and here is the result of her great parenting.
The momment he says “That’s not me, that’s a peace of plastic paper” perhaps it simply indicates a attitude just to oppose, or maybe it shows a confusion of a psychiatric nature. At that moment, more conversation was needed before the instruction to get out of the car
wtf, now cops must be psychiatrists? And then, if your scenario is correct, why someone with psychiatric problems are given a driving license?
there are too many wrong things with the dude
generally i don’t defend cops, but this is really the most reasonable conduct that i’ve seen in a while
@Vlad Marcu They should be a bit more professional, and if there are suspicions of confusion, they should stay at the stage they are and not proceed with an order. For half a minute, they can ask two or three exploratory questions. A ‘what do you mean’ could indicate something or change the course of events
@Sakis Totsikas the dude clearly had a hostile attitude and then reached to his gun. This was a legitimate use of force by police;
and what order? Asking for an ID? If this triggers a person, they are very troubled and must never own a driving license or a gun;
but again, as can be seen, it is more likely that he was just hostile and tried to mock the police.
@Vlad Marcu Take back the weapons from the citizens there in the United States. It appears to be purely a case of escalation due to possession of a firearm. In any other case, it would be a situation where a young person is simply hostile towards the police and spends one night in jail. If we want to talk about what happened in this case, that’s exactly what happened, another person died due to easy access to weapons with no real reason at all. I cannot help but acknowledge that perhaps, aside from some more delicate handling, the police could not have done anything differently, but I cannot overlook how unjust it is that a young kid was lost his life for a completely insignificant reason, and the cause is simply the easy access to weapons
@Sakis Totsikas Absolutely it’s a shame whenever a young person loses their life in a stupid way, but in this case he asked for it. He was hostile, he did not follow the lawful order, he even reached for his gun which is clear in the footage.
Gen Z, too much arrogance. Actions have consequences. Unfortunately he did not live to learn from this mistake.
This man was within his rights… all of our rights as USA citizens. Cops and the taxpayers that they work for will lose millions in lawsuits, yet it won’t compare to this young man losing his life.
stfu no he wasn’t
The Supreme Court has settled the argument of turning civil rights into crimes. The cops have turned the right to bear arms into a justification for execution. This isn’t a cop shooting. This is an outright lynching. Once the other cops joined in, it became a lynching.
Never thought I’d see the day where a sovereign citizen got popped to kingdom come. There are some out there that deserves this treatment. Truly a disease in the mind and this kid didn’t know better. Got raised by a fcked up family
Police chief with beard is like an old time sailor, shave him ASAP.
any reason to get their guns off
Utah Is A Constitutional Carry State
It is LEGAL to open carry a firearm in Utah without a permit if:
You are at least 18 years old
You are not a prohibited person as defined in 76-10-503 and 18 U.S.C. 922
The firearm is statutorily “unloaded” (two mechanisms to fire) unless you have a concealed firearm permit.
It is LEGAL to carry a fully loaded firearm, visible or concealed, without a concealed firearm permit
If you are at least 21 years old (residents AND non-residents)
If you are not a prohibited person as defined in 76-10-503 or 18 U.S.C. 922(g)
Not limited to handguns. ANY legal firearm.
It is ILLEGAL to carry a firearm in a state prohibited area or federal prohibited area
It is ILLEGAL to carry a firearm on any school premises unless you have a valid Utah concealed firearm permit
Unloaded or with a permit assuredly isn’t Constitutional carry.

ThAt many shots was necessary to disable or prevent him from shooting ??
This is the most ignorant thing you can say in a situation like this.
Why would you think its clever to antagonize four, five armed men even if you are on the right? Choose your battles wisely…
Wrong decision my friend!!
Absolutely murder all day
A small dicked wanna be alpha male escalating what should have been routine stop into MURDER.
What killed Chase Allan was his arrogant fantasy beliefs…
Like it or not, We All Are Government Dependent. The Police, Fire department the EMT services, the CIA the FBI the Armed Forces, the Coastguard, the Boarder Patrol, the Air Traffic Controllers, the FDA and FEMA. With out those services, there would be anarchy and mayhem. Our government builds and maintains the roads and interstate highways, the dams the reservoirs that provide us with water and energy. NASA who paved the road that developed todays satellites that gives us cell service communication, foreign surveillance, television and GPS. There is a whole lot more that I did not list.
We elect officials who write laws, that the police are responsible to enforce. Another arm of the government is the DMV. If we choose to drive we need to go to the DMV and get licensed. If we own a car, that car is by law required to be registered and insured and maintain in sight official license plates.
Driving without official license plates is a flag for the police to legally stop you. Driving a car with heavy tinted windows makes police uncomfortable. If you happen to have a gun when stopped by police, it’s in your own benefit to tell the cop that you are carrying. It’s also a good idea to keep your hands on the steering wheel or high in sight if you wish to video record. If you are legally detained you must provided ID or risk being arrested. All of that contributed to the final outcome.
It’s sad that Chase Allan died in a hail of bullets. He chose to reject our government and stand up against the police for his misguided beliefs.
IM MORE AFRADE TO BE KILLED BIE A COP THEN JOE THE JUNKY OR A DRUG DEALER THAT SAYS ALOT ABOUT THIS COUNTRY
The police did their jobs 100%. You comply at all times. And if you are pulled over by an officer you are required by law to say you have a weapon. So many of you giving the worst advice ever are going to get people killed.
FAFO.
This is someone who would have changed this country for the better by questioning the authority of rogue cops. What these nervous Nelly cops did was flat out murder.
This young man lost his life over a license plate the reason is because the police are devils they’re possessed they had blood in their eyes before they even pulled him over
Cops: Get out of the car or we will pull you out.
Misguided Sovereign citizen: blah blah, fine. Reaches for seatbelt
Cops: He’s got a gun. MURDER HIM! (blast 25 rounds because they don’t have a grenade handy)
Yeah, he had a gun. And? You asked him to get out, he was mouthy and uncooperative, but never violent. It’s murder.
Thank god the gun was caught in the seatbelt!! That seatbelt probably saved their lives.
It’s only a sovereign citizen. No one of value was lost.
If the Chief of police thinks that his officers behavior is appropriate. then there lies the problem
Comply! It’s all you have to do! It’s not rocket science! Geez
Cops love shooting people 🙄
Step out for what, plastic passport, or expired license plate? After they emptied their guns they tried to revive him… that’s some funny $hit!
The guy didn’t deserve to die like that, oh well. I always comply with the police, and then you can take legal action if you feel you’ve been mistreated. You know these people have a High School degree and a gun. Not much thinking happens up there, trust me.
Last time I checked a High School degree makes you plenty qualified. Getting a degree has nothing to do with smart decisions by officers. I have a degree btw. Seems dumb and ignorant considering more officers than you think actually have an Associates.
I see that some people are calling this police brutality. If that’s the case then how come you don’t hear BLM, Al Sharpton, or the “human rights” people coming out and speaking about this?
➡️White Life matters
No probable cause that a crime was committed, no Corpus Delicti, no warrant, the man was pulled over by two cops over a private tag, and forced at gunpoint to give Identification by several armed bandits hired to enrich the corporate municipality. Our Corporate municipality took in $500,000 in just traffic citations alone, thats not including the illegal property taxes that they force people to pay or they make them homeless. If “doing mah job” was a real excuse then most criminals would never see a jail cell
It’s amazing how many times a day police risk their lives! Well done!
I do understand gun response. I just don’t get why 25 gun shots are needed. Fortunately no cop was injured.
unfortunately
@larry loo I promise if I come and start acting weird outside your house you would call the police
It’s how they are trained when you pull out your gun to respond to a threat you are suppose to keep shooting until it stops moving also adrenaline.
Justified!
Chase Allen was murdered…period…
Nah.. He was a stupid person that caused police to shoot him by being stupid.
cowards, its their job to protect the weak,
He got what he deserved for trying to be a hero.
I’d love to hear any of these sov cit morons explain why the law applies to everyone but them. 🙄
Anytime cops anybody now that’s the first thing they want to holler gun,gun he’s got a gun your all scum that was bullied in school and now your taking your revenge out on the world and everyone in it your all trash
This was bad, they murdered the young man without any consequences! This is outrageous!
Defiant towards the police, didn’t announce his firearm, went for his gun when the officers opens the door. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
THERE WAS NO BLOOD PPL!!! Could this be another pysop? Hmmm so no blood and a circle of cops firing at eachother, yet no crossfire …nope I don’t buy it
Straight up murder. But that’s utah it’s a police state. Sovereign citizen is bs if you believe that crap you are delusional.
I mean why didn’t he just answers the questions?
Boy was a law student & thought he was johnny cohran. Popo barely have a HS education. If cops were acting illegally, he should’ve complied & sued later instead of argued with popo, who are NOT lawyers & don’t know the laws.
How do you know they still wouldn’t of shot him when they saw his gun even if he did answer questions ! They cops freaked at the mere sight of the gun !
Sovereign Citizen?
Murdered that kid and will get away with it because its a White Power, Maga state
Nothing that matters was lost. Non compliance comes with a price and always will.
Nice call from your mommys basement
Honestly, it looks like he did it to himself play stupid games get stupid prizes
He reached for is belt.
Oh yeah, so how did the gun end up on the floor? They don’t jump out of their holsters
Dude that’s where his seatbelt is
It’s also where his gun was. Do you think Chase had a sudden change of heart right after he said to the officers “We’re gonna have an issue”?
Bull $hit I see the setup ..the gun was found in the floor board someone else recorded this …watch for it
police gun clips could have have tear gas , stun round , rubber and electric bullet first before lethal rounds
Unfortunately this will continue to happen because people fail to learn from other incidents. This can easily be prevented from happening. 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Exactly
yes it will continue to happen because cops are murderers and thugs.
@Mark V Only criminals/felons say that cops are murderers and thugs
If cops weren’t so scared of a gun. Coward pigs.
Trigger happy pigs . I heard like. 10 or more rounds .
Resisting while armed is a baddddd choice
Dude was trying to make a tic tok vid, well congrats genius, you’re all over social media now!
Came here to watch a man get turned into cheddar cheese. Disappointed…
Boy was reaching for his SEAT BELT BUCKLE because officers wanted him to step out of his car. Officers made a grave error. That said, boy should’ve told officers he had a gun & told officers he wanted the officers to unbuckle his seat belt for him. Although boy didn’t do anything illegal, he was acting stupid.
The boy didn’t have the car registered and didn’t have a driver’s license. Plenty of reason to detain and have a tow truck come by, biggest mistake was not informing the police that we was armed. End conclusion: boy should have complied, police did nothing wrong.
@Michael Tan Utah isn’t a volentary duty to inform state Its only if asked and we don’t know if he was asked because the audio cuts out and the chop and cut the footage at the most crucial part ! His biggest mistake was complying by touching his seatbelt when they asked him to get out !
@Nameless faceless youtuberhe removed the gun from his holster
@Nameless faceless youtuberin the raw body cam video, the officer doesn’t ask if he has a firearm. If it were me I would have asked right away. That doesn’t excuse chase Allen for pulling his gun out
Did this really happen or is it a remake of Police Academy?
It’s crazy how cops are supposed to protect us but are the most scared. Salute all firefighters ❤
scared of getting shot?
Yea maybe don’t use Mr Inbetween as a way to handle being pulled over
Disgusting how they’re releasing these videos to make it seem somehow justified what these cops did is horrible and these pigs deserve the death sentence or life in prison. Rest in peace Chase Allen you are hero
why is a hero?
Sovereigns if you don’t want to pay taxes and don’t want to get a driver’s license. Then should pay for air, water, and road use – $10,000 per day. No driver’s license – automatically no car registration, and drive without a license first time $5,000, second time $20,000, third time $100,000 and 5 years in prison.
After 1 year with the new law, there are no more sovereigns
I see the commie-fascist statist lickspittle in you . Keep swallowing the juice your masters, overlords, and handlers shoot in your mouth. Sovereign Ctizen is a misnomer and a contradiction iin terms . It is a term created by government agencies to label and smear people who wish to exercise their rights as men and women. and keep the fruits of their labor (money) to use as they see fit instead of it being used to start wars, prop up corrupt regimes, and fill the coffers of corporations such as the United States and their mercenaries. There will come a day when things like you will get exactly what they deserve. So which agency do you work for merc?
So much for a TIC TOK clip and paid with his life.
how many times did they shoot him?
I counted between 25 to 30 shots some bled together so its difficult to tell.
@Anthony Welker Is that standard police procedure? If you are going to shoot them once, shoot them 100 times?
@Des he was shot 7 times, and yes they are trained to shoot till they drop, i have seen many many many suspects get up and charge at cops after being shot 10 or more times
Perfect reaction from the police, rather them go home then a non compliant hooligan thinking he doesn’t have to pay his fair share for driving on public roads.
Just be faster at the draw. And drive away
well done police. my entire support!
You think cold blooded murder under the color of law is ok?
Hope you or your loved ones get EXACTLY the same…..
@James Barnes In cold blood? Are you blind? Didn’t you see the gun? Didn’t you see that he didn’t obey the police order? Because people like you, gangsters and criminals increase in our society
@Jose Martinez Hey ignoramus, they were carjacking him and his mother ALREADY won a case against them for the exact same thing…THEY MURDERED HIM….under the color of law…THAT means in treason ignoramus…..
A perfect example of how this “sovereign citizen” and anti-gov BS can get people killed.
This could have been totally avoided if he had simply complied with the officers’ lawful commands. Its bad enough to play games and refuse to comply during a simple traffic stop, but don’t then be stupid enough reach where your gun is, especially after not telling the cops you were armed as soon as they approached your window! The excuse that he was reaching for his seatbelt is disproven by the fact that the gun was found OUT of its holster and on the floorboard of the car. Every responsible gun owner knows, guns don’t just fall out of holsters.
He had no weapon on him though.
@KLikeARussian HE HAD A GUN!!!!!!!!!
I read A LOT of comments here upset and saying he was reaching for his seat belt…. really people, do you truly believe, even if you are correct that it matters?
1. He had a gun and did NOT inform the cops.
2. Not only was he flagrantly snubbing our laws refusing to register his vehicle and presenting a valid driver’s license, he verbalized his refusal to follow lawful orders WHILE having a gun he failed to tell the cops about.
3. He REACHED toward the gun (that was, what–near seatbelt?) that he never told the cops about—I’m sorry to insult anyone who believes the guy was “just reaching for his seat belt to comply with what he was told” DESPITE SAYING NO, but your thinking is a little bit twisted.
And as far as the number of shots, WE ALL KNOW that once the pull that trigger it is very rare for them to stop. THEREFORE try not to antagonize these people unless you have a death wish!
I heard someone say this is what smugglers usually do so I see why he didn’t believe him because it sounds all bad got what he deserved you reach we teach 😂
Why shoot him 7 times? Isn’t one enough to stop the danger? Here in italy the officers would have been fired
no one is not enoguh, i ahve seen guys get up and shoot a cop after being shot 5 times
they woudlve been fired for shooting an armed suspect? wtf italy
One less among us.
Oh well. He got what he deserved. How does he like his sovereignty now.
Not a tragic ending. No one important died.
in my opinion….when conducting a hoax and a drill to ward off freeman yes its appropriate…even though this will be fully exposed for what it was
legal to carry a gun in UTAH in a holster THEY FORGOT TO MENTION that in this hoax
The gun was removed from the holster you old bag
In your opinion it is ok to gauntlet a solo man, great job, any tazers available? No just lead poisoning great it was justified correct in the eyes of man correct? And you all wonder why? You are a bunch of low vibration souls!!!
Cold blooded murder under the color of law……
Not gonna lie The guy was in the wrong and deserves what he got but i still think That unloading the whole magazine was not a good idea either when there is 3 cops around him… welcome to America
This is what happens when you waste your time reading stupidity on the internet about being a sovereign citizen. Just be an adult who complies and this won’t happen to you. I will bet I will get so many comments about how we have the right to refuse cops this or that, blah, blah, blah. So many idiots today!
not tragic when they go for a gun, officers are safe and well, that’s what matters
Blurry gets a thumbs down. 😁🙄
Shot 27 times for not complying?
For drawing his gun, after passively resisting
