Police release shooting video which was witnessed by child

[messmaster45]

I feel bad for the officer. Even though the shooting was justified, he's still going to remember that he had to kill someone. No wonder cops have a lower life expectancy.

[jsmonk]

That one policeman couldn't wait to pull out his AR-15, as if it was really necessary with all the other guns already drawn at the time.

[Arnisho]

im sorry but this behaviour only results in people trying to shoot police instead of driving away

[bail1out]

Mr. Policeman couldn't wait to play with his ar-15

[insanezane111]

This is not funny, or a joke, the man who was driving the black SUV and shot in the chest 3 times was my cousin, smh R.I.P. JED

[ford46power]

@insanezane111 your cousin was stupid for running. and a crimminal .he did it to hiself.

[WHOCARES30102]

@insanezane111 well no one is laughing .... if your " cousin " was a cop that got ran over and killed, you would be so happy about that, when he was just trying to do his job !!! I guess his a**( your cousin, the criminal) should have not tried to run over cop's and little kid's.... and stopped and stayed still and " your cousin " wouldn't have got shot.... so he got what his a** deserved !!

[jehovahuponyou]

WAIT, LET ME GET OUT MY AR-15, SO I CAN KILL SOME INNOCENT CIVILIANS FIVE BLOCKS AWAY - DAMN, I WISH I WOULD HAVE BROUGHT MY .50 MACHINE GUN OR MY GRENADE LAUNCHER!

[101327]

@jehovahuponyou

Apparently you dont know alot about that style of weapon. Moron.

[jehovahuponyou]

@101327 - YOU IGNORANT FUCK - BUY A SENSE OF HUMOR!

[WHOCARES30102]

@jehovahuponyou what is a .50 MAHINE GUN???????????

[jehovahuponyou]

@WHOCARES30102 - WHOCARES!

[tntkop]

What is the purpose of posting "witnessed by a child"? So what if this was witnessed by a child? Who really gives a sh!t? I suppose if the officers would have been run over or shot in front of a child, then that would be okay. But since the police officers shot at the suspect, it's bad for the child to see that, right? What a moron you are. If anything, the child witnessed the officers protecting the child's life. "Witnessed by a child"......get real & stop being a major league doucher.

[SpicyHam]

never use guns. use wooden sticks.

[acoow]

@SpicyHam Wooden sticks don't stop an SUV. Bullets stopped the murderous driver, though.

[idgit2442]

What was he stopped for in the first place?? Not saying the cops were wrong, just would like more information.

[bartscustoms1693]

I hope they busted a cap in his HEAD. Just another worthless thug. it's in there bloodline to not work,not do anyhting but steal. Yo boy, PICK DAT COTTON..

[jimih64]

@bartscustoms1693 You're a fucking moron.

[ebooklibrary27]

@bartscustoms1693 your a racist pig

[woo62909]

@bartscustoms1693 i'll have to say i agree with you bart...for many years i wouldn't have but in the last 10 or so it sure looks that way not only for that race but for all who live on the taxpayers because the democrats allow it and now we have an administration that fulfills the old adage about the democrat party aka the "give-a-way party".

[mrengine9]

@bartscustoms1693 They did bust a cap in his head lol but what you said about black people isn't truw. Hopefully it's just a joke.

[MrzKechelle]

YOOOOO!!! dis was in sunset!!! Aug on deck!!

[AlvaroMoraisBR]

Did he died?

[AcornATL]

@AlvaroMoraisBR yeah, he did died.... lol

[RyanMiller3039]

Does the guy get hit when he is driving or when he is stopped?

[movieguyabe]

Wow, thats something. Thnkx btw for editing the cussing--finally someone has some decency. And to the cop with the rifle: you sir, are the man.

[rjk8807]

DAMN he got out the ASSAULT rifle for this one..

[gdog00187]

This video only shows the chase. The guy was not going to run any cops over, and was trying to get away. Typical pigs. I am not saying the guy was not guilty of anything, but did they have to shoot and kill him, and in such a highly populated area ?

[kobifuzz1]

another bad guy off the street, how sad.

[ACEOO8]

THEY SHOULD HAVE SHOT THE SCUB BAG  Ô¿Ô

[MrPineapple2012]

What was this a routine traffic stop? Why were they aiming to kill them with assault rifles and handguns? I think they could of handled the situation better.

[Reckin007]

@MrPineapple2012 Of course you do...you're not a cop risking their lives every day worrying about what some idiot is going to do next.

[proatmetazine30906]

Do not fuck with Richmond County cops.They will shoot you!!!Most gun-happy department in America.They shoot white, black and everything in-between.This is because they make 10 a hour.

[tacticomp]

Some people just don't know what the myriad of factors are involved in a firefight--especially the human element of it, and shouldn't be Monday morning quarterbacking on this very incomplete scenario, which doesn't really show a lot of details.

Good or bad, a lot of 'shoulda', 'coulda', 'woulda' can drastically change any outcome--in this case, the felon lost, and the good guys won--so those 3 factors are now moot.

[COLED803]

Dont try to run the police over! And look what neighbor hood that they were in Harrisburg "CRACK TOWN!"

[proatmetazine30906]

@COLED803 Thats Sunset, its the projects.That place is worse than Harrisburg. Harrisburg is a mixed community.

[jamiedadawg]

there acting like he shot the president

[Cheevus]

I feel like i was watching the grand theft auto video game police, they open fire with kids in line of sight and @ 0:56 a police cruiser speeds by the kids hiding in the corner. I'm not saying what the person in the suv did was right but these officers need to go back to safety of the citizens 101.

[1tankjenk]

so many bad things have happened in sunset after this

[1tankjenk]

cops shoot at people who run now? i never seen them shoot at someone on cops who run

[flyingsnoop]

@Cesario82 ar 15? you going back to golden eye days? aha and yea i agree its a bit much unless he did have a gun and he IS a known gang banger

[tknox1]

FUCK THE LAW

[neisdsucks]

Good riddance. He won't be using or dealing drugs any more. 

[flymarinesoldier]

Why not shoot out the tires?

[zero26tee]

@flymarinesoldier thank you thats what there supposed 2 do

[poopsyproductions]

Isn't this how every officer encounter use to be? Pretty sure the police forces use to be WAY MORE BRUTAL.

[HazmaTeam007]

wow one day people are gonna get tired of police brutality and start a massive riot

natonwide :/

[zero26tee]

U GUYS ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKIN IDIOTS U FUCKIN RACIST DICKHEADS THAT SHIT IS ILLEGAL, COPS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOOT AT A MOVING VEHICLE UNLESS THEY HAVE A GUN AIMED AT THEM, MAYBE THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT IN THE SOUTH BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH ARE SO FUCKIN RETARDED, BUT IF THAT SHIT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHERE IM FROM THEY ALL WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED ITS 2010 BITCH PYP GO FUCK URSELF

[tmacfan1261]

@zero26tee actually officers have the right to shoot at a person in a vehicle if they are attempting to run them over which is what this guy was trying to do so get your fucking facts straight b4 you go talking shit. so you sir can go fuck yourself.

[zero26tee]

@tmacfan1261 i bet u wouldnt say that shit to my face bitch

[em7984]

@zero26tee It's easy to be a hard ass while looking at a computer screen, huh?

[zero26tee]

@futboleroR10 suck a dick

[futboleroR10]

@zero26tee How about 2? hahaha!

[1BrockSawyer]

@zero26tee The guy was obviously turning his vehicle with the intent to AVOID hitting the police officer who was jumping in front of his vehicle. Plus the police didnt begin firing until the black guy was already past them. This has nothing to do with race cops are happy to shoot at anyone trust me

[zero26tee]

@1BrockSawyer believe me i kno they probly had a party after that screamin HELL YA WE GOT THEM DAN NIGGERS HAHA YEEEEHAWWW LETS GO KILL US SUM MORE NIGGERS!

[Mykel198504]

@zero26tee Why is it that the most racist person on here appears to be you? It is not always a white thing, black thing, hispanic... on and on. It sucks someone died. Should he have run like that? No. Did he step on the gas with a cop in front of the vehicle? Yes. Was the cop being stupid by side stepping in front of the vehicle? Yes! Why did he not just get out of the vehicle? Why did he run? Justin did not think. Justin did not stay cool. Justin had no sence that day.

[zero26tee]

@Mykel198504 seriously? the fuckin cops shot at them without a good reason and it just so happens the people he shot at were black and all the cops were white, and it just so happens it happened in richmond virgina, one of the most racist places. whos racist me or the cops?

[BlueCloneTrooper521]

@zero26tee all the cops werent white, at one point in the video before the ambulance shows up it shows a black sheriffs deputy shooting at the SUV rright infront og the camera.

[zero26tee]

@BlueCloneTrooper521 dude fuck off im tired of pple replyin to this fuckin video it wus like my first day on youtube and u kno wut it is because he was black

[flyingsnoop]

@1BrockSawyer 1:54 theres a black cop

[Uuxaul]

@zero26tee Actually, when someone tries to use any form of unprovoked deadly force against ANYONE, (not just the police) you are allowed to respond with deadly force as well. This includes trying to run you over with a vehicle. Did you have a window installed in your stomach so you can see with your head so far up your ass?

[zero26tee]

@Uuxaul ur fucked up in the head go suck on a cock u fuckin redneck

[Uuxaul]

@zero26tee How am I fucked up in the head? The laws regarding the use of deadly force in self defense state: "A reasonable fear, of the imminent threat, of grievous bodily harm or death; constitute the use of deadly force in self defense. If someone tries to run you over with a car, all 3 of those clauses are met, (Preclusion in some states as well) to respond with deadly force. You go ahead and try to get that law changed if you don't like it. I've got my money on it sticking around.

[em7984]

@zero26tee HAHAHA, were you able to see inside the vehicle? How do you know that there wasn't a gun being pointed at the cops? By the way, people in the South aren't "fuckin retarded". Only people as ignorant as you are "fuckin retarded" and that's everywhere, not just in the South.

[Mykel198504]

@zero26tee Really? Watch the video and read the text below it. There was a black cop, and a hispanic cop. You only see what you want to see. I do believe it's fucked up someone had to die. Both the cops and the driver didn't think.

[zero26tee]

@Mykel198504 u guys can argue all u want but the fact is that it was a hate crime its a lot easier for cops to get away with shooting black people than white people so they made there day easier by just killing him but if he killed a white person it would be a national crisis! goddam u pple are so blind and i find it funny how i leave a comment like 6 months ago when i first got my computer n u assholes r still replying to me

[101327]

@zero26tee

Not illegal. Nowhere is written, nowhere, that an officer has to have a weapon pointed at them before firing into a vehicle. Get your facts straight.

[Stink808]

dumbass had to realize he was putting his life in imminent danger with that driving stunt. It dooesn't matter if its fair or not after you are already dead.

[undocumentedspot]

Well, if cops were equipped with noob-tubes and RPG-7, he wouldn't get a chance to drive away in the first scene.  in the end he still gets wasted instead of just busted.

[whatsanme]

the " GUN " allows police and others to use that as a way out or into a situation, Until the police are ready to die for the cause they are so willing to parade for, we will continue to see situations end in the worst way possible,..bottom line, there are other ways to stop a vehicle,

[interactivefilm]

Crazy people, crazy police.. it does not happens in Europe.. just in your country..sad sad sad

[fatpig2]

what's your point?...how stupid a country can be to ban weapons from the public.like some countries in Europe..I guess the bad guys marched straight into police headquarters and turned their guns in...yeah and pigs fly. Do some research, every country that banned guns, violent crime exploded...why?...because the bad guys kept their guns and the stupid turned them in to the government.

[undocumentedspot]

The best way to fight crime is to let everyone including criminals to have easy and legal access to weapons, it is more cheaper too. you know if criminals attack a house or a shop, they ll come without pointing gun at the victim, rather they ll tell the victim to "go getcha weapon , I'm robbing you."

Or criminals simply will not know about other people can carry weapons, so when they attack, they would use knives or bare hands, this is when good citizen can surprise them with a gun.

[cod7strats]

@fatpig2 how do you turn a gun on

[treecowboy1100]

interactivefilm. lol yeah right. search soccer thugs, protests in Europe. The rising crime rate in England and other countries who outlawed guns.

[ssssroryssss2]

Actually it does happen here in Europe, just look at places in London or Paris. The worst place is possibly Northern Ireland where the Police patrol the streets with armored landrovers and where car bombs have blown shopping centers to pieces and where the British army shot dead several unarmed civilians.

[interactivefilm]

yeahhh.. right!!! ouu yeahhh.... what the fuck are y talking about?? Ireland.. sorry but, i do understand irish people fighting against the british goverment.. just read a bit and you might understand the reason..

[ssssroryssss2]

I do understand the reason. I'm English but have family in Ireland and I have done several thousand miles in Ireland over the past 20 years. I also know someone who used to patrol with the British army during the late 70s, so I've heard the story from all sides.

[d3nv1]

@interactivefilm Yeah, but the sad fact is it's was and is mainly Irish on Irish kills. Proddies(pro Brits) vs Catho's(Pro United Eire).- Roughly.. Since devolved powers in NI it is way quieter - with v.few incidents nowadays. Even the armoured land rovers are for police not military use... I feel much safer if pulled by cops in Belfast than in a similar city USA. Since cops won't open fire if I try and leg it/floor it....

[PayNoTaxesGetNoVote]

OH, OH dont forget the molotove cocktails!!, All you need is a rag, glass bottle, gas and match.....

[ssssroryssss2]

don't take the fucking piss... watch these /watch?v=VPDvZa8Nib4 /watch?v=asVJbGiQ7Yw /watch?v=mutGisGcEHY /watch?v=8LaYVRZ5aZc Do you get car bombs in the USA?

[biodole]

@interactivefilm

It's not sad...it's a fact of life. You Europeans would rather just stab each other in the streets than fight with guns that's all.

[bshaun2]

If anyone of us was a cop you know damn well that if your life or the life of your partner or a civlilian was in danger you would be blasting the hell out whatever or whoever was putting you in danger

[honda2fast4u]

Its is legal and the right of the officer to open fire on a suspect in a car who comes at him with the vehicle while stomping on the gas. It is considered as attempted man slaughter at the officer because a vehicle can be used as a weapon. The cops did the right thing, now in regards to knowing if there was a kid in the car is unknown.

[TimeBoogie]

Sounds like your the grade A dumbass

[srmcn]

Your "a grade A dumbass" for driving high.

[2204Alpha]

Whats great is that none of your opinions after the fact matter a bit.

Accoridng to US Supreme Court case law, all police use of force cases shall be examined from the view point and in the time the actuall officer involved was at, NOT using facts learned after the case.

This was a wanted career criminal drug dealers who tried to run over a cop, fled in a reckless manner endangering countess lives, and who died.

[missbee2nice]

did he die?

[swalker0116]

yes he did. he was brain dead his mother decieded to pull the plug. . .

[CosmicDestroyer99]

And here comes the paper work

[xBARNES187x]

fuckin cops

[southsidepatrol]

glad to see we can always count on lawyers

[augustalawyer]

Where is the date, real time counter and time. What happened to the other two tapes as well, do you want us to believe that these tapes are not doctored. You can still see that the guy was running not trying to hit officers. Looks like he place himself in front of the car.

[augustalawyer]

2nd thing that bothers is the fact that when the suspect attempts a get away, Ortiz made up his mind when he darted in the path of the car with his gun raised and ready to fire that this driver would stop or be killed on the spot. This was indeed created by Ortiz. I dont feel that Hodges would have fired his weapon if Ortiz would not have placed himself in danger of being hit and had not fired at the driver.

[MTBstud12]

This is why you are a lawyer.. and not a cop.. Stick to what you know..

[augustalawyer]

To top that off, someone has posted on the Augusta Chronicle web blogs that the District Attorney Ashley Smith is living or has lived with an officer from this department; and the guy over internal affairs wife works for the District Attorney . Real Mom & Pop right.

[augustalawyer]

5th if enough damage has not been done, Ortiz goes into the trunk and comes out with an assault riffle. Now let me mention the police dash cam tape from the car you see speeding on the sidewalk has now abracadabra. Then you throw us some tapes with no dates, times or counters and say take this and sit down. To top that off you sneak in a predetermined Grand Jury Hearing, with no evidence offered against the officers in question.

[augustalawyer]

4th disturbing thing that catches my attention is the language use with the people of this neighborhood. I know for a fact they would talk to the residents in my neighborhood at no point. This shows a total disrespect of the people in the neighborhood. I can tell this is a normal occurrence. If they talked to my neighbors or their kids like that, they would be looking for a new occupation.

[klard]

This was over marihuana? This ridiculous war on drugs is turning this country into a warone. Marihuana itself has never harmed anyone. The ridiculous war on marihuana is causing so much destruction.

[flyerholland]

lol yea.. here in the netherlands we dont have this kind of rules.. and yes u DO notice there is almost no crime with drugs.. only drugsrunners wich are stupid foreigners trying to take the drugs out of the country.. but thats not our problem realy...

[joewildomar]

who cares if it was witnessed y the child....where was the childs parents?? Blame the idiot that was driving the truck and not the cops.
