MENTAL ILLNESS? I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GUNS? AFTER ALL WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT AT NAUSEUM???
These gotta be agents doin these shootings in care what nobody say
Isn’t it convenient that body cam video is released immediately when cops are in the right, but somehow, when cops are in the wrong, body cam video is stifled and, more often than not, is somehow “lost” or buried.
They usually analyze them very throughly. Sometimes footage can take awhile to go through to not miss anything. Sometimes it becomes corrupt footage and none was captured. Or their body cam isn’t working properly etc.
Good point. They would hate to be proven wrong with thier corruption
@Riley Bell could be a way to delete or “throw away” data and footage, but, the public holds the police to this high standard that if they missed ONE thing, you’ll be all over them. But yet also criticize and call them corrupt. Nice double standard.
The same republicans that say their pro life are the ones who are taking money from the NRA and letting innocent kids get shot and killed by the guns they protect
We need greater access to healthcare so that loved ones can get the person help who is sick. If we are going to have a Second Amendment, we also need to have a society that takes care of those who are mentally ill. It’s a public safety issue!
Can’t afford it, too busy paying for illegal aliens and foreign wars.
I agree. Mental health, news, and social media, and some lack of parenting are what is making this worse, or that we see it more. The news and media are always quick to blame the guns, but not actually provide any information, or constantly view mental health facilities etc to help support the ones that need it
Yeah, blame mental illness while still making it possible for anyone to buy deadly weapons without any checks or training in some states…
Charge the parents for not policing their mentally ill child.
No joke. Their statement at the end really makes them to blame
It’s the feeling of Young boy that they’re under attack 😢
The 2nd amendment has been around since the nation’s founding. Guns have always had a place in our society. Why since Columbine has this become so common?
Salute to the officers for stopping this monster!!! Rest In Peace to those precious elders!
Wow 😲 he so bring one against all type of thing 👍 respect
It seems like he had some sort of psychosis episode based on the note he left behind.
The government’s telepathic satellite 🛰️ 📡 🧠🙇🙍😈strikes another one
Elder Abuse gone so wrong
They know our country doesn’t care about our elders or anyone not a part of their agenda
OMG
Your hard work definitely shows in your videos, well done.
That’s very interesting commentary. According to the report the police use “Long Guns”. However the suspect was using an “AR-15″… Our media is so pathetic.
Wow, these police officers were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their community. Hats off to the Farmington police department. Mentally ill kid needed to be shot and killed like the animal he was. Family needs to be held accountable in civil court. Take everything they have!
Another thug off our streets. We need more guns tho’ .everyone in the neighborhood should get bazookas at least.
Thier wasn’t no proof he had a AR. The so called officer that was shot. You don’t put on that kind of show if your shot. Better believe if you get shot your not going to pit on that drama show in silence.
I’ve been shot twice first in the hand then in the shoulder. The first time I screamed like a baby. The second time I was composed. You never know.
You never know who’s gonna come strolling through your neighborhood… And exactly why I keep my AK-47 sitting right beside me while watching TV.
I mean, even so, the AK might not save you from the first stray bullets through the windows.
Parents with a son, ” battling mental illness” allowed him access to guns?
shoulda smoked him and his parents
Another tragedy brought to you by the Good Guys at the NRA.
Wow they make it seem like it was hopeless. He lost. And you will too.
How in the world did he have access to that weapon and ammunition?
I usually shoot a thousand rounds of ammo during the day at the shooting range, pretty normal stuff. Dude I may or may not know has tens of thousands of 7.62×39 when it was being imported from Russia.
Lest see mental illness was he able to eat food by himself, was he able to go to the bathroom by himself if he was able to do both of those things we can rule out mental illness 😮
Oh! He had a mental illness. So its okay what he did then. Those “victims” were just in the way while he was expressing himself.
Should of been locked up.
I checked a mass shooting is still defined as 4 not 3 casualties. See how the media brainwashes you?
Democrats are enemy of Americans
I would say ignorance is the enemy of America. I have no political leanings.
Seems like a heavy price to pay for addiction to Artificial Entertainment GV,,But if thats what you want, you got it
Farmington NM is desperately Needing more help for those with mental illness. Help is very hard to find in the area! Trust me! I grew up there and needed the help! I would had to drive w
2 hours there and back to find Dr. We relocated to central Florida a few yrs and it’s shocking how the help us on
on every corner. it’s a total 360! It’s crazy how far behind the loop Farmington is!
New Mexico is a Democratic state but it’s poor in healthcare including mental healthcare.
There’s a civil war going on there every minute.
Doesn’t mean they go and shoot people… Excuse for fool… The help they need is a big whoopin and learn how to deal with life like I did growing up in a gang slum.
@Jackson u don’t see the point. If he was able to get successful treatment his mental illness could have been controlled.
USA! USA! USA! No country in the world is so ruined.
Where is the manifesto from Nashville? Did you think everyone forgot? Release it.💀🤡👎
They can’t because it goes against their own beliefs
Salute to the police who neutralized him. My condolences to the victims and their families🕊
Neutralized?
I have a neighbor with mental problems and an AR- 15… He should never have any gun…but, nothing can be done.
Just because someone has mental problems doesn’t neglect their right to self-defense
Gun Control PEOPLE!!!!
AMERICA IS PAYING HERE FOR ITS WARMONGERING AROUND THE WORLD INCLUDING UKRAINE
RUSSIAN PEOPLE THANK THIS YOUNG HERO FOR DOING ACTUALLY RUSSIAN WORK
HE WAS A PRORUSSIAN TERRORIST 100% AND WORKED FOR RUSSIAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS CENTER
RUSSIAN WORK IS GOOD INSIDE THE USA
Good thing i didnt decide to move to Farmington for school
Why doesn’t the media show some officer body camera footage of the daily shootings and murders in black neighborhoods?Could there be some kind of agenda?
Body cam, name, and picture released within days of shooting.
Must be a white gunman with a rifle.
White people who used a rifle make up 1% of all mass shooters in America, but the media sure tries hard to convince us its a lot more than that.
300 mass shootings this year, and 3 of them were white. 3 of them got this kind of publication.
Where’s the rest of them?
That woman lived 98 years on the list planet to get shot by some punk gun nut not happy with his life of 18 years…
Republican congressmen must be celebrating now with their pockets full with money stained with the blood of the innocent, over and over again
I sugges every school should have a well trained and heavily armed security guard . We are supporting a loosing battle in Ukraine. Spend tax payers $ here
Mental illness this. Mental illness that. What about evil? Why dont some understand that humans are naturally violent? And that when weapons are so readily accesisble, people use them. Its not even a gun issue. Its an issue with the human condition.
So they knew he was mentally I’ll but he was legally able to buy an AR-15 ? And had access to all of these guns/ammunition? And people are still fighting gun control? Do you people WANT to see more stories like this or?
Fun fact: the majority of black market guns, originate from a legal sale. 9/10 guns used in mass shootings are legally obtained firearms. No one is saying take guns away. Just make it harder for people who shouldn’t have them, get them. Idk why people are scared of that unless they’re scared of not qualifying…. 😅
Your in a lot of trouble America, you haven’t seen nothing yet!!!… there are millions of similar minded mentally deranged young children / teenage Psychotics waiting in the wings, angry, suicidal, presently planning, brooding, bullied, depressed, and so on and so forth. A large number of disgruntled children have been mentally destroyed by parents that shouldn’t be allowed to raise chickens let alone children. This much i do know, within 18 to 24 months nobody will be wanting to leave their homes “I GUARANTEE IT”
Where were all the good guys with guns?
Good results from NRA..!
@00:31 in a current hollywood movie that female cop would be the mary sue that saves the day but in real life……
😈💨🔥🐷
He was fighting a battle with mental illness, buuuuuut…. we let him have guns.
This live mass shooting is brought to you by Monster Energy.
Once more we are being told what to think. The problem is simple there is nothing in America to believe in.
Mental Illness, Mental Illness–is a Red Herring. Less than 8 percent of the killers in the mass shooting, according to studies, exhibited any symptoms of a mental illness that would have prevented them from obtaining a firearm. In line with the general population. Less than two percent have used an “insanity defense” successfully. They are not all that “crazy”.
Good guys with guns, stopping a bad guy with a gun. Good job officers 👍👍
Yeah sure nothing says suicidal maniac better than wearing body armor…like come get me but im not gonna make it too easy for ya
another example of more crazy guys with guns than good guys with guns
Everytime there’s a mass shooting the cops always have to make about them, always the heros after ppl are killed, never preventing deaths. But WP will call cops heros no matter how many innocent ppl are killed.
Cops, WP look at ppl lives in numbers, it’s always it could’ve been more killed. Not about those who were killed, 1 life lost is to many.
Ultra mk at its finest 😢
Angry Teens!
Anyone who thinks this isn’t a GUN PROBLEM….is delusional. With out guns NO MASS SHOOTINGS would be happening!
What a jackweed, elderly women are some of the nicest people out there half of my social circle in my life is elderly women lol
The Americans need to be clear!!! is it the right to live and ammendment to own guns OR is it the right to own guns and ammendment to live
These ladies had lived collectively over 200 years and some 18 year old degenerate came to end that😢
Another mentally ill gun owner….
If this kid was a person of color all the comments would say lock the parents up but he’s not so it must be mental illness gtfoh
Just some more democrat mental illness running rampant in america
and again, and again, and again…
A White AMERICAN LEGAL CITIZEN.
Courageous officers
Shirley was the kindest most unselfish woman on the planet, she and the other two saints took the fall for others that might have been killed. Prayers for the families.
Heros!
The reason why mass shootings seem to happen more often is because the media decided to put a focus on it.
Another crazy white boy.. just stop selling guns to young white men, that’s 95% of mass shootings eliminated
Instead of 87000 IRS agents we need a national mental health agency…it is getting overboard extreme and its not going to get better until there is help for these people…its needed everywhere
His family should be held responsible!
It’s always the same from anti gun lobby when they have power, you only get the choice of either “everything is supplied to everyone including the mentally ill” so there are people blasted all over the walls and ceilings and floors and skyscraper windows, or, everything must be removed down to plastic knives and forks!
One of the simplest policies to understand that gets ignored by Dems is just like car insurance, a person under 25 years of age is expensive risk because of maturity and inexperience.
It’s been said many of these shootings, particularly serious, are from persons under 25 years of age supplied with “semi automatic” weapons and unsupervised with semi automatics available. 18(or whatever base age alone) to twenty five year olds should be restricted to non automatic – repeating (automatic context e.g. single action revolver) firearms, any dwelling – place with persons below 25 years must lock up such weapons so they are not accessible to under 25s!
That may ever slice the mass shooting stats p year in half!
It’s good enough and proven enough with insurance companies for drivers below that age, it also shows for firearms.
The parents knew he was troubled. but nothing was done .
The parents should of A kept those weapons away from him
and B got the kid previous help
But now we have another person who young that using their parents weapons when are the parents going to be held responsible!!!
for letting them have access to those caliber weapons and kevlar
And left a unstable person unsupervised
Glad the shooter was taken out. I just don’t understand what the purpose of the body cam footage is…you can’t really see anything. Literally couldn’t make out anything. The officers need to be shown how to wear them correctly I suppose. I’m from New Mexico and it would make total sense.
Another mass shooting in the US hundreds every year
The gov gave him that vest…
Andrew Tate could’ve saved him!!!
Always america
Props to the cops for sure if you don’t have that kind of Bravery you should not be a police officer I think only probably about 20% of cops got what it takes to have that kind of bravery and not be a tyrant this is what happens when your children don’t have consequences I can guarantee that this boy was just mad about something silly
Mental Illness is at an All-time High
How does the parents of an 18 year old kid not know what is going on in their home??
These police acted like police should ..Protect the citizens..
I knew this kid he was very violent the few times I’ve talked to him
