[talentscout45]

[blair91234]

Jamie Smith, Addicted to crack cocaine since 86

[Intoxiqated]

Maybe you shouldnt be a bunch of tweaked out meth addict, armed robber, carjacker, redneck dumbasses. Whether black, white, or hispanic, the low class type mentality is as so: Its okay for me to commit crimes and endanger others, but when we are reprimanded it is a tragedy and those who try to protect the innocent from my crimes are at fault.

[fuklibs]

Methheads.......

[likshot45]

THAT LADY RIGHT WE DO IT WE GO TO JAIL OR KILLED THEY DO IT THEY GO TO A PEDIATRICIAN FOR THEIR AZZZZ TO GET CHECKED FOR AND DISEASE LMAO THEY ALSO DONT EVEN LOSE THER JOBS THEY JUS GO ON !!!!!!PAID VACATION!!!!

[almawells]

@likshot45 The president of the United States of America needs to answer her question. "Why do they get away with it?"  Our president owes this lady an answer to her question...

[Intoxiqated]

@likshot45 The difference between a suspended cop and a criminal is that before the cop commits that one crime that gets them suspended, they actually HELP people. Another difference is that the suspended cop commits crimes against criminals, criminals commit crimes against innocents. Don't be so fucking ignorant as to compare one side of the law to the other.

[SleazyE08]

They obviously rammed the vehicle, got out and executed the man. Police training is a bitch, know that citizens...Either obey or fight, but you might want to pack a bigger gun/plan then getting rear ended and giving up, in AK they'll cap your ass. Your like a wolf is to Sara Palin in a helicopter. Dumb hicks. Ram the car THEN pull your weapon, THEN command them to get out of the vehicle....This was an execution. They decided Anchorage population is to small to have these delinquents breed.

[governmentcheese411]

@SleazyE08 i agree... how the fuck does not listening become a need for deadly force when there is no gun involved and the defendants have their hands up? and people wonder why i sold my house and land to move to BFE???? do i really need to answer? as jesse ventura says... don't start the revolution without me! at the same time...until then, count me out of yalls nonsense!

[almawells]

@governmentcheese411 because... that is how dirty cops entertain themselves... when they get so bored, they make trouble...

[governmentcheese411]

@almawells lmao! how true brother :) that cop cars sticker in the movie transformers said it best... police..." TO ENSLAVE AND PUNISH"

[CelticDragon0]

'Deadly force was the only way to stop him'. Give me a fucking break! What about using a tazer, or rubber bullets? Even tear gas would have been better...Deadly force is NOT an option. Cops that do this shit are basically paid murderers!

[SirNicholasD]

These idiots have no reason at all to pretend to be the victim. I laughed so hard when I saw the methhead woman

[CelticDragon0]

@SirNicholasD Don't hurt yourself by using such big words now

[SirNicholasD]

@CelticDragon0 You believe in Dragons.

[CelticDragon0]

@SirNicholasD I happen to like dragons and I have Celtic roots...and just cause that woman looks that way DOESN'T mean she's a methhead, she's upset and when you're upset you don't really care how you look

[SirNicholasD]

@CelticDragon0 Wells she's criminal scum in my eyes so I don't care either way lol, end of all responses from me

[CelticDragon0]

@SirNicholasD How can she be a criminal if she's not being charged? You have some knowledge that I don't or are you basing your view on how she looks. Cause if that's what you're doing, NEVER go into law enforcement. Check yourself before you wreck yourself again

[governmentcheese411]

@CelticDragon0 she likely didn't get charged for the robbery. she may have stayed in the car or what ever leaving only the stolen car issue which she could have been bailed out or released within a few short hours.

[CelticDragon0]

@governmentcheese411 Show me proof and I'll believe you-and it has to be real, not some shit you make up

[governmentcheese411]

@CelticDragon0 wtf... show you proof of what half wit? try making complete sentences instead of just bantering out some ignorant rant...

[CelticDragon0]

@governmentcheese411 Show me proof that the mother was arrested or charged

[governmentcheese411]

@CelticDragon0 dude... what the hell are you talking about? what mother? i never said a word about the mother nor did i say she got arrested. please step away from the bong dude...

[governmentcheese411]

@SirNicholasD i guess its a good thing YOU don't run things then huh? she looks like a scum bag so fuck her... i've heard some pretty ignorant shit before, but that is far flung even for a simpleton...

[1232shooter2]

How does having a gun make you violent?

[oriocoookie]

dont feel sorry for the guy but still police shouldnt use guns indiscrimenately .. they wshould be charged and punished

[hellsguardian360]

dont steal a car and rob a store...nobody have sympathy for low life scum.....

[barnfresh60]

fuck him,no reason to shoot ??? now you want to talk and surrender and cry about how you have been treated?? bitch,!!!!!!!!

[jesserocketmail]

i hate the cops...

[pie365]

No shit he got shot he was dumb and robbed a store and fled and kept going and didnt stop for the police its just to damn bad

[bigbamboo1010]

Mixon Lovell or Maurice Clemmon would've shot death that mother fucken shit ass sucker cop.

[opsmanprime]

Honestly, we don't need police. We need to start protecting ourselves the old-fashioned way like everyone did 300 years ago. Just go out and buy a gun for yourself. The police don't know how to protect you or anyone else. 300 years ago, there was no such thing as a police department. This is the only way to end police brutality and other incidents. More power to the people, less power to the government ( in this case, the police).

[AAzmanacob]

He deserved to die, look at the woman, under alcohol/drug influence...bad people must die, Bravo police!!!

[TheDeadlyDemon]

What the mom said was amazing and true.

"If a citizen did it they would go to jail, when the cops shoot they get a promotion or something nice"

thats just sad.

[tormentor74]

they should have just given him the good ole' cop beating like you see all day in LA news... Ok, he MAYBE deserved that, but IF they had him cornered, Why Blast Him??

[NoblestBear]

Chances are, if you find yourself running from the cops, then you've probably done something you shouldn't have. Even so, if you are unarmed and not threatening, then no one has the right to use deadly force against you. Even the worst of criminals are capable of becoming good, honest citizens if they decide to give up their criminal lifestyle. They cannot do so if they are shot to death by the cops.

[907damu]

fuck APD

[gotgank]

KTVA...wow, real good example of "fair, un-bias'ed" reporting......hope you people never NEED that Department to help YOU.

[greenzx9r]

they were criminals. If you break the law you should lose ALL rights as a human. Shoot criminals like we shoot dogs with rabies.

[DownLowProductions]

off course you should decide beforehand if someone is guilty or not, right?

get the fuck outta here.. ;)

[greenzx9r]

Even his mum said on the video that he has been done for robberies and thefts.... still unsure if he is a criminal??? Let them all get shot.

[slingersring]

The old lady was right, if you shoot someone you go to jail, if the police do they get a vacation. Is it just me or do the police seem like the GESTOPO?

[theshaza24]

Nope slinger, the cops get an emotional roller coster knowing they took a mans life. How would you like that? Asshat.

[slingersring]

First of all the only way I would is if the man came into my house. NOT INTO HIS!

[theshaza24]

....That wasnt his house, it was a nursing home.

[outlaw27870]

i forgot to add his mother said he had been arrested before for robber but wasnt a violent person what the hell did he rob someone with then a cheesestick

[outlaw27870]

why would they interview a crackhead about what happened lol

[shanecum]

wow lets see...would the guy have been shot if he wasnt breaking the law and running in the first place?

[anaksundal11]

if ure ex criminal, then u can join the police department..

[elad1860]

long life the TALIBAN stop canada killing in afhanistan

[nittzzu]

he didn't stop so they shot him.. well in my country, if a policeman does this, he rots in jail! you don't fucking take his life if he doesn't stop, they can stop him by other means. fucking pigs! american laws are so fuckin against the people and you people are so stupid not reacting to this!

[theclockkiller]

Where is Brian Nichols when you need him

[Kardethach]

man fuck the police they just liek to use they gun, cuz they think they have the power fuck them

[hockey2931]

you are a D-BAG

[abdula31]

I can't tell what triggered the first shot. But he's a robbery SUSPECT until then, wich means not found guilty of course. If it's just the refusal of stepping out the car, i think it's inappropiate when there are no other weapons involved. However if he points his finger through his shirt assuming he's armed with a gun, the situation changes.

[littdna317]

You wanna know my comment? I agree with the passenger! There was no damn reason for the police to shoot! Cops are just bunches of bandits behind the badge! I hate them all! Damn the police to hell! They are NOT "peace keepers".

[kadriu3]

wow i remember this day like today sitting at home then all i hear was like 20 police cars speeding and i hopped on my bike and i just heard shots being fired and then i saw them at the groccery store

[norcofreerider604]

They stole a jeep, robbed a store, ran from the police and got shot, I'm no fan of the police using deadly force but I feel no compassion for Steve.

[metallica202000]

i agree

[Rafwrx]

I love how people are so quick to jump the gun and attack the police. You have no idea what happened there. ...and don't listen to a crack head.

[Camaroheat3400]

it doesn't sound to me like deadly force was necessary...more like a cop with a trigger happy finger, but I was obviously not there and don't really know. One thing I do know however, is that the crack head girl was annoying as anything

[jaiharman1]

its not their right to take a life unless someone else's is in danger, the police have too much pride at stake if they let a suspect go, in england if there is a car chase and its headdin to a busy area they let them go, try to get the suspect relaxed stopping them loosing control. police are there to protect us as we pay them to do. my brother was nearly killed by police snipers because he was spiked with drugs at a bar and he ran around with an unloaded gun, fortunately they were told in time

[assaultmek]

LOL

If your brother was hanging around where he COULD get spiked w/ drugs and is running around w/ an unloaded gun of course police would take him out. Dang,ur brother is stupid. I'd have shot him too if he was running towards me w/ a gun on drugs. Stop making excuses. People get shot for a reason; no one ever got shot by police by obeying the law and following their commands. Cuz, yknow, I get shot at every day just minding my own business.....NOT!!!

[metallica202000]

Dude, you were not their, and their is no video of the incident. You dont know if the guy tried to run over a police officer or a civilian.

[secretagentbill1]

Why isn't that drugged up girl in handcuffs?

[emagana42]

Well it looks like jamie Smith uses drugs thats all i wanna say lol... oh and why is it when these kind of things happen the "victim" always look like somthing is wrong w/them? Drugies!!

[Nevo1665]

Why the fuck are we glossing over the fact that this 58 year old carrer scumbag and his speed freak girlfriend were on a fucking crime spree when this happened?. This news report makes this sound like an unprovoked tragedy! This CHUD stole the car he was shot in and commited a robery. And news flash to the waterhead mother of this guy. ROBBERY IS A VIOLENT CRIME! this all would have been avoided by two abortions. Hopefully the cops are cleared of wrong doing and given a medal.

[elad1860]

FUCK THE POLICE

[gammyland]

You are so right!!!! How dare the Police make this guy steal a car, rob someone, and then flee!!! How dare they!!! WTF ever!

[DecimatedDreams01]

Other way around, because the Police would fuck you up anyday. Bitch.

[elad1860]

other way around,because cops are gay and they would fuck you up anyday.bitch

btw long life taliban&allkaida for killing canada soliders in afgnistan i wish they will win.onece agen i feel like say FUCK CANADA cuz you are real bitch heve a nice day fagot

[DecimatedDreams01]

lol I love little children who act tough on the internet. You can't even spell al qaeda you terrorist. You need to go get a job and stop thinking you are cared about, or join the army and get shot in the face by one of Canada's great soldiers. You need to do it before you can bitch about it.

[elad1860]

well i hope thet the freedom soliders of the taliban will shoot you in the face cuz your NAZI contrey soliders kill wemans and litel kids in afganistan and the NAZI canadian police kill wemans and litel kids in the streets so get shoot your self and you cops are gay and i bet they love dick so go give them some if you like them so match BITCH

[DecimatedDreams01]

You make no sense. Are you the Taliban's sheep? In case they feel horny you're ready to go? You are so stupid, you mix the United States and Canada. Canada's soldiers are Peace Keepers. We are fighting alongside the Americans, but the Americans are the primary soldiers fighting in the Middle East. You need to learn to speak english you terrorist.

[elad1860]

canada soliders are rape litel kids in afganistan the taliban long life are the peace keepers canada jest fuck litel kids

jest like thet guy in taeiland how sexshley assolt litel kids he was canadian man how did it and all of you canadians are like thet litel kids fuckers btw your einglish sucks jest don't come to israel pliizzzzz this way are kids safe cool!!!!!

[thomasuras]

they should have shot the girl also before she has a chance to reproduce

[jerryblanks]

that's the chance you take when you commit robberies. I wonder if the girl and mother would be as compassionate if they were robbed. Thats the problem, no one ever wanted to blame the guy who did the robberies. Plus the nice picture of him was from 1970. They could have at least used his recent booking photo.

[RavenFreedom]

This is yet another good example of how many officers are mentally unstable sociopaths who further worsen their condition with the abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs like steroids. There are many of these officers who are incapable of leading normal lives and who are a threat to the community and themselves, which is a good reason why frequent drug testing and ongoing mental evaluations should be a priority to those who are paying the salaries of these officers. Many should pursue other jobs.

[mrjustin5]

100% preventable - just stop. Yyyaaah... sure. When the CIA brings in hardcore drugs by the TONS (RESEARCH IT!) and the cops deal drugs and run the whores. They violate the constitution and the bill of rights. Cops will always blow someone away. They'll lie - even if its on video and nothing will happen. How long will good people put up with that sort of shit? We need a new america! This is not right in any sense. Watch Alex Jones & David Icke videos.

[scottyvjs]

Tuff sheet!!

[marshmelloman1977]

The problem isn't that the police just shot and killed this guy, the problem is that there isn't more cases like this. Think about it... if you knew you were going to be shot and killed, would you do this stupid shit (robbing, carjacking, selling drugs to kids, or hurting or killing innocent people)? Most people who have half of a funtioning brain probably wouldn't, unless they already have a death wish... here's an idea for those people... Take out the middle man, and kill yourself.

[Splendiflame]

bunch of dumbfucks.! If they weren't doing anything wrong from the first place, they could've avoided that.. Die fucking robbers who doesn't have anything to do but to give troubles..

[pg1000000]

land of the free my ass

[asiankatoeylover]

What a bunch of inbreds, some cops are kool, but a large majority, well I will just leave it at that.

[Rzarectar]

How is robbing someone not violent? Did he walk into stores and ask for money politely?

[HastaKay]

Jaime Smith is a crackhead and a junkie.. so her word is worth much.. and neither isnt her mothers

[craigmorriswanadoofr]

The poor mother looks like a wrinkly orange mushroom.

[ITRIEDEL]

lmao this guy deserved to get killed and she should of been killed too

[samrhim]

itriedel shut up fagget

[sledheader23]

Maybe you shouldn't be robbing stores and steeling cars?

[caseyandbad]

If you just stop we wont KILL you. WTF?

[stu22aus]

I don't care who they shoot, if it happens to them it could happen to you. Police are getting out of hand.

[alanaldasucks]

explain how

[jenchris1978]

mom said his prior arrests were for theft and robbery but nothing violent. last i checked robbery is a violent crime.

how bout that toothless heroin addict from the jeep w/ the dirtbag.

pathetic people defending a worthless human being

[salim123123123]

fuck amiricans police

[ggnnoohhtt]

i love police, i am one myself, and we are not pigs, you guys are

[mwtbdltr]

stop him doing what he was fucking joy riding fucking american pigs ... only in fucking america

[starsabovemetonight]

LOL

[mtharbison]

Nice wig Ruth. Only shot him eight times...bummer sounds like 123 bullets to few.

[lnGInzane]

the police is shit.

[kinnepak]

This video is why there are laws against inbreeding ! LMAO

[matatmat]

im so glad no-one on here is saying shit like: that's unfair, he deserved to live..

even tho he dusnt

[3rotor77]

Go media! let's interview the freaking crackhead, she's a GREAT witness.

How can a robbery suspect be "non violent", a robbery by law is a theft that MUST accompany an assault of some type, either by gun, knife, baseball bat, or assault.

The media is WORTHLESS.

[matatmat]

i fucking agree, it's like:

'o, im not violent but i'm robbing a shop'

he got what he deserved.

[CelticDragon0]

@3rotor77 Robbery does NOT have to be accompanied by an assault

[dragarx1]

i'd WANT themt o shoot me if i was riding with THAT!

[matatmat]

haha

[kevinmx895]

Its so funny when the media attempts to make a meth heads insight on a law enforcement matter crediable....just plain disgusting.

[CornDogShaun]

she looks like she could use some more crack... probably why he was robbing stuff

[buuye]

good job,fuck that piece of shit,one less turd in this world

[Daniel3yteh]

He was a robber and a thief AKA pain in the ass, thorn in the side of the community! Better of dead!!!!!!

[styl3dog808]

Ya.... the police were Crawling when they shot her... They deserve it..

[xcalibur808]

amazing how she doesnt fell too much pain from that shot, possibly because she was on meth at the time. wasnt it obvious. so cute, family goes to attend a funeral of a relative who was known for robbery. hmm...robbery is theft with a deadly weapon. geee...feel sorry for the criminal? what the hell is wrong with these people?!

[rotcmaverick]

Her own damn fault for hanging out with a career criminal. Maybe she'll choose better friends next time.
