Edited: Mental patient Jason Harrison shot by Dallas police
This video shows the June 14, 2014 fatal shooting of mental patient Jason Harrison, 38, who was shot while holding a screwdriver after his mother called 911 for ...
+mudchair16 The police could have easily backed off and asked the mother to get the screwdriver. They could have easily calmly talked to the man. They could have easily taken a few steps back and pulled a taser. But not, the gun always comes out first.Yes screwdrivers can kill, but jesus, are our police officers so weak and cowardly that they cannot handle a single, barely armed, man?If it was a knife, I could probably understand, but a screwdriver? And two officers? Really? Screwdrivers are quite easy to grab as they do not have sharp edges. I know, I've had someone try to stab me with one before. If our officers are so afraid to even take a risk to keep a situation from escalating, then they are piss-poor trained.

+Fent1231 Sure you can and you must defend yourself, but you can't just shoot somebody dead (especially if he is a mentally ill person)?!?! Your brain is really fucked up if you think that this is the right way to handle the situation...
The protocols themselves that the police is supposed to follow are INSANE;
as if the US is a war-zone where every person may be a potential imminent
threat. The cops are taught to be trigger-happy cowards!
+TheSpiritOfTheTimes Yes, because making a hard decision to defend yourself is a cowardly act. should the officer should of just sat there and let harm come upon him.
Am I the only one that feels this is a completely staged/setup event? IDK,
but something isn't right with this...how can it be 'leaked' if it's from
an officer's chest cam? Its all just odd to me...
+ShooshieKW I heard about this when it happened, and in the full article it is mentioned the lawyer and the mother chose to have the video publicly released.
+William CarneyI do understand your point, but the mother has a pending lawsuit against the city, so I dont get why the officer involved would 'leak' this. It happened last August (2014) and we are just now hearing about it, and the first thing they do is release the 'evidence?' Reminds me more of a police training exercise with actors....IDK, but nothing would surprise me at this point
+Cyborg Lincoln Are racists really all that bad? Can you remember the last time you've heard in the news about a racist white man who goes out and shoots blacks on purpose?White teen in South Carolina mass shooing in black church? Guess you don't turn on the news much or have that selective vision.* However, nearly every week I see a story about a black thug who kills a white person*Really where? Since like I said many youtube SJW's just post random things that they claim they seen but never happened.The likely hood of black people just randomly killing white people nearly every week is statistically impossible, for one most black / white people do not typically live in the same proximity as one another and the majority of the time the 2 groups have ANY interaction with one another is by job connection or by law enforcement. and unless you're going to say black people are killing white cops everyday I can assure you if you just look up the numbers of police slayings vs. cop fatalities you would never say something so ridiculous as that.I shouldn't really need to tell you how the outcome of interactions between white cop/black civilian demographic goes down.As for the rest of the youtube peanut gallery I implore you if you have a relative or loved on who's mentally unstable the last people you should call for help is the police, (and I'm speaking mostly to the female demographic because they heavily rely on the police for every situation making things worse) If you do it's your own damn fault. You can blame their death on you.
I'm not racist and many white people are not racist so please don't think that we all are. I understand why you bring your race card out here and you have every right to use it. but I'm on the side of the victim here and I'm white so what does that say about me. I raise my child to not even know what racism is and you treat everyone equally to everyone equally. there are some white and there are some black people who are prejudiced but there always will be and there's nothing we can do about that. The only thing that we can do is to stick together. all the people who want peace and change no matter what color race religion or creed and you fight the tyranny that has corrupted our federal government. in a peaceful manner of course if it all means possible. We can raise our kids right to treat everyone fairly and to love everyone no matter what and hopefully racism will eventually disappear or almost completely disappear like feminism did. I love all good people. That's my policy. I don't judge people for what they look like. I judge people by how strong they are, intelligent they are and how fast they get back up when pushed back down. We as a people need to take the power back. Racism want any divide us to a point of vulnerability against our government. Kinda like a decoy. We all need to recognize who the real enemy is. its not black white purple pink... It wears red white and blue, the american disguise. Something we should despise and realize. I apologize for people of my race that may have done you harm in the past and other Americans. It's embarrassing to me and to Caucasians alike. I'm you sure you feel the same way when the board is flipped. I hate racism and everything about it. It holds our civilization back so much. We could do so much better without it and move passed current issues/events surrounding them. It's a pipe dream to think it will go away anytime soon but nothing lasts forever. It may take generations but it will happen. It never could dissolve before because there was always slavery. and slavery was abolished to begin with in 1776 then because of the generation gap we may not have racism today because this (present day) would be in our past. Peace, bud! God Bless us all in these dire times!
Are racists really all that bad? Can you remember the last time you've heard in the news about a racist white man who goes out and shoots blacks on purpose? I sure can't. However, nearly every week I see a story about a black thug who kills a white person and there is no outrage, we don't have any protests or flip cars. The real problem in this nation is not racism, it is the blacks themselves.

domestic terrorist. This guy loves America and America has turned him into

Dallas police are investigating why officers did not enter the home of a woman who called 911 screaming for help. Deanna Cook ended up being murdered and ...
I just so upset about this whole thing it makes no damn sense after hearing
that woman in dier need of help that the damn police went to the damn house
knocked and fuckin left that a damn shame!!! they did not protect and serve
had they did she would still be with us with that being said may she rest
in so much peace our angel doesnt have to look behind her back or live in
fear anylonger shes now in a better place
God bless Deanna Cook and may she rest in peace. Who knows if officers
could have prevented her murder, but there's no excuse for them not taking
different actions and reacting with more urgency. Fortunately, those
involved were held accountable and changes took place to better prevent a
similar situation from reoccurring.
My prayer go out to the families God please blessed the families. My heart
go out to the families I was abused when my first husband beat on me I lost
my first child. ALL OF OUR ARE IN MY PRAYERS
911 Operator, Fired After Allegedly Making Racist Comments On Facebook
A 911 operator in Texas was fired Wednesday after allegedly making a series of racist remarks on her Facebook page. In Facebook posts that only her friends ...
My questions are, did she mention where she worked and was it on her
personal facebook account, if she didn't and she was on her personal page,
she has the right to say pretty much anything she wants, but if she
mentions where she works or its associated in any way with her dept then
she is done, if not fight this one she has a right to her own opinion, but
again if she mentions where she works or was on dept computers then she's
done.
It's all explained in the article, the 911 service has a social media
policy ergo she is history. At the end of the day it was someone else who
has **** for brains.
If I survive sickness, being run over by a Kubota tractor or nuclear
holocaust I will vote for this guy. I checked a lot of Trump posts this
morning and most were negative. The media dudes do not want the Donald to
make it. Special interest money people are shaking in their pajamas with
the Trump campaign. Go Trump! BTW I ordered the camo trump hat from
donaldjtrump.com and hope it gets here by deer season! Donald , if you read
this, please expedite that order, it's gonna be my lucky hat!
