*ORIGINAL FOOTAGE* Suspect with Crowbar Shot Outside Carls Jr Monterey Park

If anyone can please help me find Steven Rodriguez direct family i would greatly appreciate it, Ive had networks offer money for licensing rights to this video and upon denying them, i then thought that maybe his family could use this money for attorney expenses or whatever, if anyone knows this persons family and can message me through my YouTube account it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I know as some may think it is a disgrace to have this video up and online, it is only online because of a false report i read before posting about how a female officer stated that Steven swung twice at the officer which is completely false. thus the video is up to show the truth of what happened that day and throw away any hearsay or falsified reports.

Original VIDEO as seen on CBS KCAL ABC FOX and Univision34

To my account this is what i witnessed, this is only my view of what i saw while i was on the scene and NOTHING more.

After people were running out side of the Carls Jr. a man holding what looked like to be a metal pipe bender was walking very slowly and calmly toward the side of Carls Jr. very nonchalantly smashing in the windows with his weapon, he then walked into the fast food restaurant. while the suspect was inside the police arrived and set up to the right of the enterance. the police told the suspect, some command i was unable to hear, the suspect then walked out side and well the rest can be seen from the video, at the time it was believed that he was shot with rubber pellets and sadly that wasn't case. The suspect seemed to be shot 5 times while facing the officer and then shot at 5 times again while his back was turned to the officer, allegedly of course




MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- A suspect armed with a crowbar was shot outside of a Carl's Jr. restaurant in Monterey Park on Monday morning.

Authorities say the incident began with the suspect breaking windows at Carl's Jr. in the 1200 block of Avenida Cesar Chavez just before 9:30 a.m. The suspect then walked inside, while workers and customers ran outside.

Police arrived as the suspect was exiting the fast-food restaurant. After repeatedly telling the suspect to drop the weapon, the suspect was Tasered.

Police said the Taser was ineffective, and the suspect swung the three-foot metal bar at officers twice. At least one officer opened fire on the suspect.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No one else was injured in the incident. The officer-involved shooting is under investigation.

I agree what u say, but it wasn't the case in this situation... shooting him was way too far... and i don't think this has anything to do with knowledge on cops or fire arms...

One of the requirements for being a cop in this country, is having NO COMMON SENSE, that is the problem with these thugs, they are actually our societies weakest individuals, they are the stupid of our society, they can't get any other way of supporting themselves so they like to rule other people with a badge. This is a shame and a blight on America.

You are the reason, this government WILL NEVER GET OUR GUNS! We need them for idiots like you. I can't believe how you made it through life so far being so ignorant. You deserve all you get. And I for one will pray it happens to YOU!

[HerosComment]

You FUCKING COWARD, that is what you are a fucking coward, NO that guy did not have to die, you stupid son of a bitch. You make me sick and if I ever see you in public, I will fucking do the same to you. YOU STUPID IGNORANT SOUL, I can't wait until you see the bottom of the PIT IN HELL you fucking bastard. I am sick of ignorant fucks like you and yes, My language is justified for idiots LIKE YOU. I want to ring your "F'en" neck.

Gee, I guess my twenty years of law enforcement experience, including 15 as a firearms instructor, and my actual familiarity with the use of force matrix which we use is trumped by your ignorant snarky attitude. The officer is justified in countering deadly force WITH deadly force. And it is a big hammer, not a crowbar as stated in the post. He was peppersprayed and then turned on the officer with the hammer. Stop commenting on things of which you have no knowledge.

If you look the guy went to swing at the cop when the cop bent down ....the other cop (shooter) protected his partner..

[HerosComment]

This is SICKENING! This cop needs life long prison sentence. What a fucking idiot.

[HerosComment]

Damn it, I typed this once and didn't stick, you are right, there was enough cops out there to take him down without nothing, but if they had to use pepper spray, or taser. This cop should spend the rest of his days in a jail cell looking out the bars... These idiots laughing at a dead guy is sickening too.
