[6095jimmy]

I hope that cop burns in something Shot em in the back , didn't identify himself as the police and shot him more than once what a dooche bag of a man. I hate him.

[6095jimmy]

This is the world we created for ourselves to protect and murder in most cases the police have become the power house this society wanted them to become and now everyone wonders why these shooting are happening more often. We have no more freedom just an illusion of freedom. Thank you for this video and that could've been anyone.

[Primeda]

If it wasn't Williams it would have been someone else. That cop was itching to shoot someone. I guarantee he had been hoping for any opportunity to shoot anyone that he THOUGHT could be justifiable.

[SlayaSS1]

he didnt even call the paramedics or try to revive him

[essonedj]

listen to the cop explain himself, what a fucking piece of shit!! i hope someone kills him for holding a pen while writing a ticket....shit who knows maybe he will stab u with the pen after he finishes the ticket

.

[RezBarbie23]

oops... especially in Seattle of all places I WOULD NOT DROP ANY WEAPON just because somebody told me to from behind!... as anybody I "would turn TOWARD them"

[RezBarbie23]

especai

[RezBarbie23]

shot him in THE BACK!!.... deaf or not.... the officer did not even IDENTIFY himself AS A POLICE OFFICER.. he himself said " he turned toward me" not that he walked toward me

[weelgunny]

What is it about ball headed cops?

[satxrooster]

See the autopsy - the poor man was shot in the back 3 times - he wasn't even facing the officer !!!

[riceman460]

Where is that witness ,she saw the whole thing go down?

[JCslapaho]

@TheStoryIsOver How exactly was he threatening him? the dash cam for sure doesn't show it

[spammingnoobs]

after 30 times watching this i finally felt bad for him

[ZEUS70ELYOVILIANO]

[24scrapman]

if he had a knife he should have used the stun gun or mas not sot than many fucking times .. he needs to rredo the text and convicted for murder i shot everyone that pulled a knife on me there would be thirty dead

[mdedic1]

This is why I celebrate, dance and cheer every time a pig gets murdered!!

WE MUST FIGHT THE POLICE STATE!!! DEATH TO THE SWINE!!!

[yukonnoka]

That cop is a murderer who should be lynched by all who love freedom...

[dan32749]

The nwo is good at what they do this cop is just a brainwashed moron ,notice how he instantly tried several times to justify himself even on the radio, wow we are all doomed with people like this running around with no brains. guns don't kill people ,people kill people so sick and sad.

[VoxUrbana]

what a PIG.... how are you going to compare the threat of knife and GUN!! and how do you justify 4 shots!!! that cop needs be jail for terrorism

[Pianogod2]

@VoxUrbana For your information, the definition of terrorism per FBI publication is as follows: "Domestic terrorism is the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or Puerto Rico without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof in furtherance of POLITICAL AND SOCIAL OBJECTIVES." This is NOT terrorism...

[Pianogod2]

@VoxUrbana Also, brandishing a weapon of any kind in public is a crime, and given the lack of communication abilities this man faced (hearing impaired), he should know the rules and regulations on carrying a knife in public. He was not on a reservation where he would have been immune to such actions. The officer had no knowledge of the man's hearing impairment. This officer can not be blamed for the actions taken. A knife can be just as deadly as a gun. That is all the officer knew.

[AnitaDenise]

@Pianogod2 Who the hell told you that? We are allowed to openly carry arms, babe, it is the concealed firearms the govment worries about. Probably because the citizenry can protect themselves from everyone then.

[Pianogod2]

@AnitaDenise While we are allowed to openly carry a legal weapon (this means to carry in a legal manner - holstered/sheathed, etc), it is illegal to brandish. Brandish is defined as: verb (used with object) 1. To hold, shake or wave, as a weapon; flourish. Example: Brandishing his sword, he rode into battle. And also, respectfully, it is not the government which is worried, it is the democrats. (Sources: I am an NRA member, and hold several degrees in Law Enforcement and Homeland Security)

[AnitaDenise]

@Pianogod2 Exactly when did he, "hold shake or wave, as a weapon?" He was simply holding a knife,according to the officer, and according the the voices later, it was closed. In fact the way the man was walking, with one package under his arm, another in his hand, even with a knife it was not being "brandished." By this cops' definition purchases a knife and carrying it to your car are legal reasons to be shot.

[Pianogod2]

@AnitaDenise You stated "Exactly when did he, "hold, shake or wave, as a weapon?" He was simply holding a knife,according to the officer..." Notice that you stated he was "simply HOLDING a knife". Now, do me a favor and go back and read the definition, the first part "To HOLD, shake, OR wave". The gentlemen was HOLDING the knife in plain view; therefore, the knife was BRANDISHED. I already stated that this is a tragedy, but do not argue facts that you have no knowledge of.

[AnitaDenise]

@Pianogod2 So if I go into Walmart and pick up a knife to see how it feels in my hand, a cop can shoot me for being a threat? There is a supposed understanding that holding the knife in a dangerous way "hold.. as a WEAPON" is part of the mix. See how that works, Pookie? "shake, wave," are adjectives that also apply to "weapon" and therefore you are missing the point. It is not "holding" a knife but "holding as a weapon". Holding a closed knife while carrying a buch of stuff doesn't count.

[Pianogod2]

@AnitaDenise Holding a knife in public, and continuing to hold it when being instructed by law enforcement is considered a viable threat. Hold, shake or wave, means just that. ANY OF THE THREE, not all in combination. Also, you could be deemed a threat holding knife in walmart if do not drop it when you were instructed to. The officer had no knowledge of the man's lack of hearing. The officer has no idea whether that man is stable or not. That is Law Enforcement 101.

[AnitaDenise]

@Pianogod2 It is basic English 101. "Hold as a weapon". The words "or" are replaced by commas in an attempt to make simple sentence complex. Instead of saying "Hold as a weapon. Shake as a weapon. Brandish as a weapon." A shorter complex sentence is formed. Holding a knife is in violation of nothing. Holding a knife as a weapon, is. The man lost his job because it was NOT a good shoot. He should be prosecuted.

[Pianogod2]

@AnitaDenise That Officer lost his job because of the outcry from the public. As I said, it was terrible what had happened; however, what if that man had been walking down the street "holding a knife" in a non-threatening manner, and the officer ignored it...yet a few blocks a way he stabs someone? Then there would have been outcry from the public for "lack of police action". Is the officer at fault? Yes, but only by technicality. FYI... hold, shake, or wave means, one OR in combination...

[AnitaDenise]

@AnitaDenise If a person drives down the road and runs a red light and kills someone what then? Fact was the man was not breaking the law, was not a threat, and committed murder.  Better make selling knives illegal, because there they are right in a store, where anyone can get a hold of them. Not logical Pianogod2, not logical at all.

[31saint31]

@Pianogod2 Piss on you for defending the police.. The actions of a few bad cops who don't get punished are putting bulls-eyes on all the others. Lets see you defend them then. Better yet. I hope you fall victim to the gang of blue.. Your tune will change..

[Pianogod2]

@31saint31 I am an officer fo the DNR, and you clearly have no L.E. experience or you would not say such a thing. A man walking down the street holding a knife can cause just as much panic, or damage to the public as a man walking down the street holding a gun. Just because he is not waving it at people, does mean that persons will not feel threatened. If I ignored something like that and refused to take action, I would have lost my job. Although his actions were overboard.

[31saint31]

@Pianogod2 Your fellow law enforcement officer shot that man in the back. And as I said before, cops like him put you and all the others in the crosshairs, of people who are fed up with the crap. Your failure to weed them out puts you in the same boat.

[COPOUTofficial]

@Pianogod2 Well, "officer"... might I remind you of the second amendment? "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." To keep AND bear them.

[Pianogod2]

@Pianogod2 I can see where you are coming from. Things may be different where you are; however, here in Michigan, all knives must be locked or in their factory packaging for sale. Even "sample" knives may not be tested without authorized (store employee) supervision. I don't condone the officers action at all; however, walking up on an armed (utilized as a weapon or not) individual is against protocol. 4 shots is excessive. A shot to disarm would have worked, without having to kill him.

[4stripguy]

@Pianogod2 - "a shot to disarm" - Apparently you are watching too many hollywood movies. No such thing.

[4stripguy]

@Pianogod2 - Correct me if I am wrong, but if you have to shoot, you shoot to stop a person and Always shoot at the largest body mass - almost impossible to shoot a limb in a critical situation. BTW, I have been in more than a few situations. But I can be wrong since I retired many years ago.

[Pianogod2]

@VoxUrbana To add, I do agree, four shots is a bit much; however, Seattle may have different regulations on life and safety than Michigan does. This was though, a tragedy.

Nothing but robots witha tiny program on their harddrives ... the most dangerous person out there is for sure an officer ... watch out for those robots ....

shot first an kill the indean then ask question

OMG is life so cheap? fuckin cop rot in hell

[combine68]

Death To the New World Order

[wbhopper]

The saddest part is listening to how routine the cover up is!

[VivaLaPol]

Cops are scum. 

[mikelching]

ian birk deserves to rot in jail for life!!

[ezekiel207]

see this is EXACTLY why people hate cops. this kind of fuck makes other cops look like dirty cunts

[ray8u123]

Ian Birk deserves the death penalty!

[ontarioguy2334]

The cop didn't say that this man came at him or threatened him with the knife. You can hear him say to his fellow police officers that he asked him several times to drop the knife but he didn't. If this guy wasn't threatening anyone and just widdling that piece of wood why are the police killing him? Don't they have tasers? like wtf? Seems like 'over kill' to me pardon the pun!

[TheOriginalOwnage]

FUCK THE POLICE! That could've been anyone, you, your dad, your brother, your sister, anyone. None of us are safe from these fuckin' fags.

[mpok1519]

but JCslapaho; knives ARE carving tools! lmfao I was in Belize one time, guys were carving driftwood, with a knife. And selling it to tourists; I don't remember an idiot shooting him bc he was wearing a badge, however.

[bonerific88]

Did you hear the other pig say "Nice Job" ???? Unfucking real.

[RomieK123]

land of the free? what a fucking joke

[melosebrainuhoh]

Murdering shitstain. Every day another story pops up about a cop acting like a bullying psychopath. There's no good cops anymore.

[artrock101]

Notice how the cop has his gun drawn the second he gets out of his patrol car? Is this common practice in Seattle? They don't even do that in Texas...

[artrock101]

Wow, I didn't know knives were illegal.

[MrBunnerabb]

Wow. cold blooded murder by a dickless thug. Live. In my office.

[SnowBoardNative]

R.I.P. this is SAD......Imagine minding your own business carving away & then BANG! BANG!! BANG!!! BANG!!!!.........MURDERER

[Pobrediabla32]

Man you should all be detectives, figured out exactly what happend even when the camera wasnt pointed at the direction of the incident. In the end any of you pussy's that are talking big would do the same. I am a soldier and we deal with fucking haji's all day that dont understand a word that comes out of my mouth, but one language that is universal is a weapon pointed at you. the man obviously did something to create that reaction. but whos to know, THE CAMERA ISNT LOOKING AT THEM.

[JCslapaho]

@Pobrediabla32 The Man was deaf, The dash cam picked up the officers voice, but John T. Williams was mute so he couldn't respond if he did turn around, i'm guessing he turned and wondered why was their a Gun pointed at him. The police officer acted in haste and murdered this Innocent man, just because he has a Badge doesn't mean he is incapable of murder, just like u as a Solider can be Court Marshalled for murdering one of those Innocent "fucking haji's" u speak of! Power corrupts.

[Pobrediabla32]

@JCslapaho Like i said, there is no evidence of anything you or anyone on this post is claiming, anyone knows that if your walking around with a knife, the cops are gonna come at you with weapons drawn because no one wants to be stabbed. innocent or not ,he brought the situation on himself, he knew he was deaf so why walk around with a knife out, let alone right in front of a cop and keep walking. Power does corrupt, but in this case his stupidity got him shot.

[JCslapaho]

@Pobrediabla32 The man was deaf from birth, I'm sorry he didn't learn the same rules that you and i did. His trade was woodcarving, thats why there was a block of wood in his hand. He didn't ask him to shoot him, stupidity did not play a factor in this situation. The man is carving wood not threatening and stabbing people, last time checked thats not illegal. No matter how you try to dispute it, The officer acted too fast and shot this man 5 times at that! He has a TASER for situations like this

[Pobrediabla32]

@JCslapaho Yea DEAF, not dumb. jus cause hes deaf doesnt mean he can get away with doin what he wants, what he was doing was illegal, you cant walk around with a knife and think its cool. it was not a carving tool, it was a KNIFE, that can potentially be used for murder. And if he didnt take the time to learn the rules of the country he lives in the i was wrong, his stupidity had nothing to do with it, his ignorance killed him.

[JCslapaho]

@Pobrediabla32 A knife is a carving tool, and ANYTHING CAN BE USED AS A MURDER WEAPON! he has a Taser, Pepper Spray, and a baton if he wants to subdue the man, No he shoots him 5 FUCKING TIMES! FUCK BEING IGNORANT, FUCK BEING DUMB, THE POLICE OFFICER SHOT HIM IN THE CHEST 5 TIMES! LETHAL FORCE WAS NOT JUSTIFIED HERE! Murder is Murder no matter how you try to justify it, no ones life was in danger here! ITS A SMALL CARVING BLADE NOT A GUN, NOT THAT FUCKING SERIOUS TO BE SHOT OVER!

[TheOriginalOwnage]

@Pobrediabla32 Legal knife limit is 12 inches, so you can blow me. Stop defending murderers. Its fine to defend actual, good, respectable police officers, but this guy is a fuckin' MURDERER.

[MegaDefuse]

@JCslapaho yeah because the man was wearing a sign saying "hey, im deaf and mute so dont talk to me"

[JCslapaho]

@MegaDefuse Either way, the Officer handled the situation badly and a Man is Dead as a Result!

[gajillion]

@Pobrediabla32 Wow. So much for America's "best and brightest." If you'd bother to watch the video, at 1:15 the woman walking by can be heard incredulously asking the cop if he just shot the guy. She then remarks that "he didn't have anything." Seattle's firearms review board has already ruled the shooting unjustified - I would imagine on account of the autopsy showing the bullets being in the victims SIDE. I'm embarrassed that people like you represent this country overseas.

[Pobrediabla32]

@gajillion Im not gonna argue with you over the matter, especially when your petty ass reply was to bash me being in the military. all i have to say is "Are you enjoying your couch" you useless fuck. I got the balls to earn my freedom, what about you? What really is embarrassing is that we sacrifice our lives for dumbasses like you to sit behind a keyboard and bash the people that give you that right. I will continue doin my job cause that is what i enjoy. Have a good one.

[felix242]

@Pobrediabla32 no need to be detectives...there's only a need to have an iq above fucking 30 to know this was an unjustified shooting. let's look at the facts...the innocent man was deaf and a wood carver. the knife was only 3 inches long..THAT'S WITHIN THE LEGAL LIMIT TO CARRY AROUND. the man being deaf could not have shown any threat or hostility towards the officer. he couldnt even respond to him. the fact is plain and simple: the cop fucked up. and u're fucked up trying to justify him

[TheOriginalOwnage]

@Pobrediabla32 "Fucking haji'" Wow, so you're a racist? Well, that doesn't make you bias or full of hate at all. People like you are the next to murderer. In my eyes you are scum.

[Pobrediabla32]

You guys that call the police murderers and pigs are a testament to how ignorant society is, the "POLICE OFFICER" is a human jus like us and say he didint fire and the guy stabbed him, or somebody else, what then? People should realize that there are laws that we have to follow and the men and women that uphold them have jus as much a right to defend themselves when they deem appropriate. It doesnt matter if your deaf, dumb, or blind, if your doin something illegal your gonna pay.

[TheOriginalOwnage]

@Pobrediabla32 Seek mental help.

[jake4569]

A ambulance know not today sir, but we'll send 3 more cops in a flash and just look at ya! GOD BLESS AMERRRRRICA, Gimmie anotherrr beer hunny!

[U9Repro]

Did you hear the lady yelling at him "why did you shoot him, he wasn't doing anything" and his bullshit answer? This guy just couldn't wait to murder his first victim.

[grovernors]

Murder is murder.

This sad excuse for a public protector is a trigger happy fearful fool that should spend the rest of his days behind bars.

The people that supervise him should be jailed as well for letting him run loose with a firearm.

Justice is dead because the police are hypocritical to their own, this murder will go barley unpunished.

And the police wonder why people don't trust or respect them?

POLICE YOURSELF POLICE!!

"A police state exists when police do whatever they state."

[JCslapaho]

More Information, John T. Williams was Deaf, so that explains why he didn't obey the officer's orders

[musicheadful]

Take the lady to be witness, Cop was idiot why shot him. Brat cops..........

[Ahhapictures]

MURDER FOR NO REASON...This cop needs to be fired and do jail time for murdering this innocent man...

[jelloj253]

@murdochmikey yeah "worthless god damn pig just like the rest of 'em" until you need help then they are your best friends.

[jeffbrak]

Uh, isn't that what a tazer's for? This officer is a murdering, coward son of a bitch.

[stevekat]

Walking while carving and simply executed. Unless he lunged at the officer, how could this not be manslaughter? This bad judgement is no different than those in prison.

One cannot justify a single shot, let alone four. Use of force should not be automatically lethal. We should be terrified of the police today, if only because of the potential for misunderstanding.

A man in Long Beach was recently executed holding a garden nozzle.

Why was the officer instructed to take off his microphone?

[jake4569]

idk what to say.... fuck the police. fucking god damn thugs sellin out for a pay check thats what i would consider a whore. Murdering whores.
