A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson.

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WARNING<\/strong>: The above video includes graphic content \u2014 viewer discretion advised. An Oklahoma City jail became the scene of an incredibly violent attack on a jailer in March.

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video illuminated a horrible, dangerous situation for the officers.

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video illuminated a horrible, dangerous situation for the officers. It seems their actions took place just in time, as Misquez ultimately received treatment for non-life threatening injuries, reported AP News. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officers Shoot Around Guard, Kill Inmate With Knife at His Throat","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/07\/curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124784,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-02 13:46:13","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-02 17:46:13","post_content":"\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a chilling reminder of the dangers officers face on a daily basis.

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recently released officer dash cam video showing the harrowing last minutes in the life of New Mexico State Police officer Darian Jarrott. Convicted felon Omar Cueva guns down the officer in cold blood. The fatal shooting occurred Feb. 4, on Interstate 10 outside the town of Deming, west of Las Cruces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Darian Jarrott Murdered Execution-Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a chilling reminder of the dangers officers face on a daily basis.

The event kicked off another round of violent protests in a city that has seen more than its fair share since Floyd's 2020 death. Officials say officers pulled Wright over for expired registration, reported NBC 4. They then identified police wanted the man on an outstanding warrant, prompting the attempted arrest. Those warrant charges included Wright allegedly fleeing police and possessing a gun without a permit. Meanwhile, the family seeks justice for Wright's death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll the violence, if it keeps going it\u2019s only going to be about the violence,\" said Katie Wright, Daunte's mother, reported NBC 4. The mother addressed a local crowd near the shooting location. \"We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason. We need to make sure it\u2019s about him and not about smashing police cars, because that\u2019s not going to bring my son back.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Mistakes Gun for Taser in Daunte Wright Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"daunte-wright-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/daunte-wright-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124744,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-12 12:02:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-12 16:02:19","post_content":"\n

A recently released officer dash cam video showing the harrowing last minutes in the life of New Mexico State Police officer Darian Jarrott. Convicted felon Omar Cueva guns down the officer in cold blood. The fatal shooting occurred Feb. 4, on Interstate 10 outside the town of Deming, west of Las Cruces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Darian Jarrott Murdered Execution-Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a chilling reminder of the dangers officers face on a daily basis. For those screaming \"defund the police\" at the top of their lungs, perhaps it's time to think about what officers put on the line each day.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Dash Cam Captures Fatal Shooting of Officer Darian Jarrott","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-09 18:09:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-09 23:09:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124764,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-07 14:26:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-07 18:26:28","post_content":"\n

WARNING<\/strong>: The above video includes graphic content \u2014 viewer discretion advised. An Oklahoma City jail became the scene of an incredibly violent attack on a jailer in March. Inmate Curtis Montrell Williams allegedly led an uprising, where inmates bound, beat and stabbed a jailer. A team of police officers then stormed the area, shooting and killing Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video illuminated a horrible, dangerous situation for the officers. It seems their actions took place just in time, as Misquez ultimately received treatment for non-life threatening injuries, reported AP News. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officers Shoot Around Guard, Kill Inmate With Knife at His Throat","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/07\/curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124784,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-02 13:46:13","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-02 17:46:13","post_content":"\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

WARNING<\/strong>: The above video includes graphic content \u2014 viewer discretion advised. An Oklahoma City jail became the scene of an incredibly violent attack on a jailer in March. Inmate Curtis Montrell Williams allegedly led an uprising, where inmates bound, beat and stabbed a jailer. A team of police officers then stormed the area, shooting and killing Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video illuminated a horrible, dangerous situation for the officers. It seems their actions took place just in time, as Misquez ultimately received treatment for non-life threatening injuries, reported AP News. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officers Shoot Around Guard, Kill Inmate With Knife at His Throat","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/07\/curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124784,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-02 13:46:13","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-02 17:46:13","post_content":"\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\"It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet,\" Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told NBC 4<\/a>. \"This was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chief claimed his officer made a mistake, releasing body cam footage from the firing officer. Footage<\/a> shows multiple officers around a vehicle. Quickly, a struggle ensues as officers attempt to handcuff Wright. A female officer warns Wright she will Tase him. She then yells \"Taser!\" and fires. Gannon acknowledged the incident marked a horrible tragedy, one that couldn't come at a worse time, according to NBC 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything we can to ensure that justice is done and our communities are made whole,\" Gannon told NBC 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting Sparks Unrest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wright died from his wounds Sunday evening at an area hospital, reported NBC 4. The event kicked off another round of violent protests in a city that has seen more than its fair share since Floyd's 2020 death. Officials say officers pulled Wright over for expired registration, reported NBC 4. They then identified police wanted the man on an outstanding warrant, prompting the attempted arrest. Those warrant charges included Wright allegedly fleeing police and possessing a gun without a permit. Meanwhile, the family seeks justice for Wright's death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll the violence, if it keeps going it\u2019s only going to be about the violence,\" said Katie Wright, Daunte's mother, reported NBC 4. The mother addressed a local crowd near the shooting location. \"We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason. We need to make sure it\u2019s about him and not about smashing police cars, because that\u2019s not going to bring my son back.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Mistakes Gun for Taser in Daunte Wright Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"daunte-wright-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/daunte-wright-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124744,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-12 12:02:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-12 16:02:19","post_content":"\n

A recently released officer dash cam video showing the harrowing last minutes in the life of New Mexico State Police officer Darian Jarrott. Convicted felon Omar Cueva guns down the officer in cold blood. The fatal shooting occurred Feb. 4, on Interstate 10 outside the town of Deming, west of Las Cruces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Darian Jarrott Murdered Execution-Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Royce Robertson Pull BB Gun on Officers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police responded to a 911 call in February. The caller said he had to slam the brakes on his car to avoid hitting the suspect, who pulled in front of him. Robertson allegedly then got out and threatened the man, reported The Desert Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gentleman just stuck a gun in my face at Chase Bank,\" a man said in the 911 call \"...He's brandishing a gun\u2013he stuck it in my face,\" he said later. The police video claims Robertson approached the man's vehicle, pointed a pistol, and said \"Do you want to die today?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Officer Yells \"Taser!\" Then Fires Glock, Kills Daunte Wright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis. Nearly a year following the murder of George Floyd<\/a>, an officer allegedly accidentally shot and killed 20-year-old Wright during a traffic stop. The officer claimed she went for her Taser, but instead deployed her Glock sidearm. Officer body cam footage shows the officer yell \"Taser\" prior to opening fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet,\" Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told NBC 4<\/a>. \"This was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chief claimed his officer made a mistake, releasing body cam footage from the firing officer. Footage<\/a> shows multiple officers around a vehicle. Quickly, a struggle ensues as officers attempt to handcuff Wright. A female officer warns Wright she will Tase him. She then yells \"Taser!\" and fires. Gannon acknowledged the incident marked a horrible tragedy, one that couldn't come at a worse time, according to NBC 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything we can to ensure that justice is done and our communities are made whole,\" Gannon told NBC 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting Sparks Unrest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wright died from his wounds Sunday evening at an area hospital, reported NBC 4. The event kicked off another round of violent protests in a city that has seen more than its fair share since Floyd's 2020 death. Officials say officers pulled Wright over for expired registration, reported NBC 4. They then identified police wanted the man on an outstanding warrant, prompting the attempted arrest. Those warrant charges included Wright allegedly fleeing police and possessing a gun without a permit. Meanwhile, the family seeks justice for Wright's death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll the violence, if it keeps going it\u2019s only going to be about the violence,\" said Katie Wright, Daunte's mother, reported NBC 4. The mother addressed a local crowd near the shooting location. \"We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason. We need to make sure it\u2019s about him and not about smashing police cars, because that\u2019s not going to bring my son back.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Mistakes Gun for Taser in Daunte Wright Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"daunte-wright-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/daunte-wright-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124744,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-12 12:02:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-12 16:02:19","post_content":"\n

A recently released officer dash cam video showing the harrowing last minutes in the life of New Mexico State Police officer Darian Jarrott. Convicted felon Omar Cueva guns down the officer in cold blood. The fatal shooting occurred Feb. 4, on Interstate 10 outside the town of Deming, west of Las Cruces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Darian Jarrott Murdered Execution-Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a chilling reminder of the dangers officers face on a daily basis. For those screaming \"defund the police\" at the top of their lungs, perhaps it's time to think about what officers put on the line each day.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Dash Cam Captures Fatal Shooting of Officer Darian Jarrott","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-09 18:09:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-09 23:09:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124764,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-07 14:26:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-07 18:26:28","post_content":"\n

WARNING<\/strong>: The above video includes graphic content \u2014 viewer discretion advised. An Oklahoma City jail became the scene of an incredibly violent attack on a jailer in March. Inmate Curtis Montrell Williams allegedly led an uprising, where inmates bound, beat and stabbed a jailer. A team of police officers then stormed the area, shooting and killing Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid the notorious trial of former law enforcement officer Derek Chauvin<\/a>, tragedy again struck Minneapolis. Just like a year ago, a Minnesota police officer killed a Black man.

Footage shows officers eventually catch up to Robertson in a nearby golfing community. The suspect gets out of the car, prompting officer's to yell repeatedly, asking him to stand down. But Robertson wouldn't listen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me, shoot me,\" he says. \"End my existence.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Hey, turn around, turn around, turn around,\" an officer yells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Shoot me or I will shoot you,\" Robertson says, reaching into his coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"At one point, Robertson pulled a handgun from a holster inside his jacket and pointed it at the deputies,\" said Sheriff Chad Bianco in a statement, adding the pistol \"looked nearly identical to a real handgun.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seemingly armed with a deadly weapon, officers opened fire. Robertson died at the scene, according to The Desert Sun. The pistol later turned out to be a full-auto Crosman P1 air pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The footage clearly illustrates the suspect pulled a weapon. He threatened officers and seemingly wanted a violent altercation with them. The officers on the scene could not have known it wasn't a real pistol. So they opened fire, and it was the only thing they could do. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: California Man Pulls Air Pistol on Police, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:24","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/02\/royce-robertson-pulls-bb-gun\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Amid the notorious trial of former law enforcement officer Derek Chauvin<\/a>, tragedy again struck Minneapolis. Just like a year ago, a Minnesota police officer killed a Black man. Now protestors march in the streets, adding even more tension to America's racial powder keg. But this time, the officer claims a negligent discharge took the life of Daunte Wright, not the officer's intent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Officer Yells \"Taser!\" Then Fires Glock, Kills Daunte Wright<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a suburb of Minneapolis. Nearly a year following the murder of George Floyd<\/a>, an officer allegedly accidentally shot and killed 20-year-old Wright during a traffic stop. The officer claimed she went for her Taser, but instead deployed her Glock sidearm. Officer body cam footage shows the officer yell \"Taser\" prior to opening fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is my belief that the officer had the intention to deploy their Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet,\" Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told NBC 4<\/a>. \"This was an accidental discharge that resulted in a tragic death of Mr. Wright.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chief claimed his officer made a mistake, releasing body cam footage from the firing officer. Footage<\/a> shows multiple officers around a vehicle. Quickly, a struggle ensues as officers attempt to handcuff Wright. A female officer warns Wright she will Tase him. She then yells \"Taser!\" and fires. Gannon acknowledged the incident marked a horrible tragedy, one that couldn't come at a worse time, according to NBC 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to do everything we can to ensure that justice is done and our communities are made whole,\" Gannon told NBC 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting Sparks Unrest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Wright died from his wounds Sunday evening at an area hospital, reported NBC 4. The event kicked off another round of violent protests in a city that has seen more than its fair share since Floyd's 2020 death. Officials say officers pulled Wright over for expired registration, reported NBC 4. They then identified police wanted the man on an outstanding warrant, prompting the attempted arrest. Those warrant charges included Wright allegedly fleeing police and possessing a gun without a permit. Meanwhile, the family seeks justice for Wright's death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll the violence, if it keeps going it\u2019s only going to be about the violence,\" said Katie Wright, Daunte's mother, reported NBC 4. The mother addressed a local crowd near the shooting location. \"We need it to be about why my son got shot for no reason. We need to make sure it\u2019s about him and not about smashing police cars, because that\u2019s not going to bring my son back.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officer Mistakes Gun for Taser in Daunte Wright Shooting","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"daunte-wright-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:20","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/daunte-wright-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124744,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-12 12:02:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-12 16:02:19","post_content":"\n

A recently released officer dash cam video showing the harrowing last minutes in the life of New Mexico State Police officer Darian Jarrott. Convicted felon Omar Cueva guns down the officer in cold blood. The fatal shooting occurred Feb. 4, on Interstate 10 outside the town of Deming, west of Las Cruces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The incident occurred when Jarrot, assisting an ongoing drug operation and \"drug buy,\" stopped the 39-year-old Cueva, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva already previously served time, getting caught with 15 pounds of methamphetamines and an \"assault rifle.\" But of all things, Jarrot pulled Cueva over for dark window tint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officer Darian Jarrott Murdered Execution-Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While speaking to the suspect about license and registration, Jarrott notices some type of AR-15-type firearm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Do you mind if I take it off you, for my safety?\" Jarrott asks from the passenger side of the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash cam footage<\/a> then shows both men walk toward the rear of the vehicle. Cueva gets out, seemingly bringing the AR-15 as instructed. Jarrott parallels him along the other side of the truck, his view obstructed. Footage shows Cueva ready the gun out of view. Then he suddenly levels the rifle, ambushing Jarrott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Oh sh*t,\" Jarrott yells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can almost hear in his voice, the officer had no chance. Cueva opens fire. The suspect fires multiple shots, even after Jarrott falls to the ground. Then he puts the gun to the back of Jarrott's head and pulls the trigger, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Cueva executed officer Jarrott, a 28-year-old father of three, with a fourth child on the way, in cold blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police caught up with Cueva in Las Cruces sometime later, reported the Albuquerque Journal<\/em>. Footage shows officers pit the suspect's vehicle. Cueva jumps out and begins firing at close range on the police cruiser. But within seconds, other officers converge, shooting and finally killing Cueva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a chilling reminder of the dangers officers face on a daily basis. For those screaming \"defund the police\" at the top of their lungs, perhaps it's time to think about what officers put on the line each day.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Dash Cam Captures Fatal Shooting of Officer Darian Jarrott","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-11-09 18:09:56","post_modified_gmt":"2023-11-09 23:09:56","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/12\/omar-cueva-murders-officer-darain-jarrott\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124764,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-07 14:26:28","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-07 18:26:28","post_content":"\n

WARNING<\/strong>: The above video includes graphic content \u2014 viewer discretion advised. An Oklahoma City jail became the scene of an incredibly violent attack on a jailer in March. Inmate Curtis Montrell Williams allegedly led an uprising, where inmates bound, beat and stabbed a jailer. A team of police officers then stormed the area, shooting and killing Williams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Curtis Montrell Williams Takes Jailer Hostage, Gets Fatally Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Williams lead the jailer, identified as Daniel Misquez, into an open area. Footage shows Misquez, hands bound behind his back, pulled up onto a table. Another inmate then gets a knife and proceeds to stab the officer repeatedly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beating and stabbing plays out for some time before officers are able to mount any response. Officials said areas remained unsecure, presenting difficulties for their rescue plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have to try and rescue the hostage because of the situation,\u201d Gourley told AP News<\/em><\/a>. \u201cWe can\u2019t sit there and watch him be brutalized any more or possibly killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a team of officers enters the area. At this point, the inmates had led Misquez back up the stairs. Footage shows Williams holding a homemade knife to the jailer's throat. But officers open fire anyway, dropping the supsect, killing him and ending the threat. After Williams fell, footage shows Misquez tumble down the stairs, finally safe after the violent ordeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers were not able to immediately render aid to Williams after the shooting, according to officials. The area holding 37 inmates still remained unsecure. So officer movement remained limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this initially happened, the area was not secure,\u201d Gourley said, reported AP News. \u201cThey had to reformulate a plan, reassemble with less lethal and other devices to get in there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video illuminated a horrible, dangerous situation for the officers. It seems their actions took place just in time, as Misquez ultimately received treatment for non-life threatening injuries, reported AP News. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Officers Shoot Around Guard, Kill Inmate With Knife at His Throat","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:23","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/07\/curtis-montrell-williams-prison-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124784,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-02 13:46:13","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-02 17:46:13","post_content":"\n

A wild, tragic scene unfolded in California recently, one that ended fatally when a suspect pulled a gun on police. Riverside County Sheriff's deputies shot and killed 33-year-old Royce Robertson. The man, acting deranged, pulled what turned out to be an air pistol on an officer \u2014 an apparent suicide by cop incident caught on officer body cameras<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer.

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light.

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different.

Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer.

Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing.

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police.

Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe.

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ...

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head.

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ...

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police.

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing.

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black.

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing.

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ...

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing.

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality.

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers.

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday.

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black.

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ...

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers.

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Footage<\/a> shows Moseley take off running. A K-9 chases Moseley down, ultimately taking him to the ground. Footage then shows Moseley waving around what appears to be a handgun. He yells \"Kill me, kill me, kill me mother f*cker!\" during the struggle with the police dog. Despite multiple warnings from several officers to drop the weapon, Moseley continues resisting while armed and striking the K-9. So officers finally engaged the suspect with a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough they attempted to use a K-9 as a less-than-lethal option, the suspect still chose to confront us with a gun,\u201d Petersen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Moseley carried a stolen gun, recovered at the scene of the shooting, KPIX 5<\/em> reported. Officials performed life-saving procedures to the suspect at the scene. They later pronounced him dead. Moseley would have faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance possession to sell, reported KPIX 5<\/em>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Police Fire 9 Shots as K-9 Attacks Suspect Without Hitting Dog","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/27\/stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124680,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-26 16:37:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-26 20:37:24","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ...

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality.

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};

Stephen Patrick Moseley Waves Gun at Fremont Police Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when detectives surveilled the suspect at a local hotel. Police sought the 36-year-old Moseley for outstanding warrants for vehicle theft, drug possession with intent to sell, and felony probation violation, according to KPIX 5<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Moseley exited the west side door of the Hyatt Place Hotel, we believe he spotted our detectives sitting outside the door in an unmarked vehicle, because he immediately began to run in a northbound direction through the parking lot,\" Fremont Police Chief Kimberley Petersen told KPIX 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Moseley take off running. A K-9 chases Moseley down, ultimately taking him to the ground. Footage then shows Moseley waving around what appears to be a handgun. He yells \"Kill me, kill me, kill me mother f*cker!\" during the struggle with the police dog. Despite multiple warnings from several officers to drop the weapon, Moseley continues resisting while armed and striking the K-9. So officers finally engaged the suspect with a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough they attempted to use a K-9 as a less-than-lethal option, the suspect still chose to confront us with a gun,\u201d Petersen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Moseley carried a stolen gun, recovered at the scene of the shooting, KPIX 5<\/em> reported. Officials performed life-saving procedures to the suspect at the scene. They later pronounced him dead. Moseley would have faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance possession to sell, reported KPIX 5<\/em>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Police Fire 9 Shots as K-9 Attacks Suspect Without Hitting Dog","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/27\/stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124680,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-26 16:37:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-26 20:37:24","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers.

Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display.

Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently released body cam footage shows multiple Fremont Police Department officers engage an armed suspect in California on April 1. Taken down by a K-9, Stephen Patrick Moseley ignored multiple commands. Footage shows him present a gun, leading to the fatal shooting. Miraculously, officers manage to avoid hitting the attacking K-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stephen Patrick Moseley Waves Gun at Fremont Police Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when detectives surveilled the suspect at a local hotel. Police sought the 36-year-old Moseley for outstanding warrants for vehicle theft, drug possession with intent to sell, and felony probation violation, according to KPIX 5<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen Moseley exited the west side door of the Hyatt Place Hotel, we believe he spotted our detectives sitting outside the door in an unmarked vehicle, because he immediately began to run in a northbound direction through the parking lot,\" Fremont Police Chief Kimberley Petersen told KPIX 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Moseley take off running. A K-9 chases Moseley down, ultimately taking him to the ground. Footage then shows Moseley waving around what appears to be a handgun. He yells \"Kill me, kill me, kill me mother f*cker!\" during the struggle with the police dog. Despite multiple warnings from several officers to drop the weapon, Moseley continues resisting while armed and striking the K-9. So officers finally engaged the suspect with a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough they attempted to use a K-9 as a less-than-lethal option, the suspect still chose to confront us with a gun,\u201d Petersen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Moseley carried a stolen gun, recovered at the scene of the shooting, KPIX 5<\/em> reported. Officials performed life-saving procedures to the suspect at the scene. They later pronounced him dead. Moseley would have faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance possession to sell, reported KPIX 5<\/em>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Police Fire 9 Shots as K-9 Attacks Suspect Without Hitting Dog","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/27\/stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124680,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-26 16:37:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-26 20:37:24","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

\u201cWhen Moseley exited the west side door of the Hyatt Place Hotel, we believe he spotted our detectives sitting outside the door in an unmarked vehicle, because he immediately began to run in a northbound direction through the parking lot,\" Fremont Police Chief Kimberley Petersen told KPIX 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows Moseley take off running. A K-9 chases Moseley down, ultimately taking him to the ground. Footage then shows Moseley waving around what appears to be a handgun. He yells \"Kill me, kill me, kill me mother f*cker!\" during the struggle with the police dog. Despite multiple warnings from several officers to drop the weapon, Moseley continues resisting while armed and striking the K-9. So officers finally engaged the suspect with a lethal volley of fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough they attempted to use a K-9 as a less-than-lethal option, the suspect still chose to confront us with a gun,\u201d Petersen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police say Moseley carried a stolen gun, recovered at the scene of the shooting, KPIX 5<\/em> reported. Officials performed life-saving procedures to the suspect at the scene. They later pronounced him dead. Moseley would have faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, resisting arrest, felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a controlled substance possession to sell, reported KPIX 5<\/em>. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Police Fire 9 Shots as K-9 Attacks Suspect Without Hitting Dog","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/27\/stephen-patrick-moseley-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124680,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-26 16:37:24","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-26 20:37:24","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam<\/a> footage shows convicted felon Kenneth Jones ignore multiple warnings prior to his 2020 fatal shooting at the hands of Omaha Police. Instead, Jones goes for a loaded handgun, so an officer opens fire and ends a clear and present threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Police Vindicated in Kenneth Jones Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Kenneth Jones shooting at once serves as another example of identity politics attempting to alter the narrative. Footage shows witnesses immediately begin saying the officer shot for no reason. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason,\" someone shouts, reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"You shot him for no reason. No f*cking reason,\" said another witness, reported ketv.com<\/a>. \"Nothing. He did nothing.\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another woman looks into the camera, saying, \"Expletive<\/em>, you shot that man. You shot that man for no reason. No reason. You shot him for no reason,\" reported ketv.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get that everybody is looking at it. Legally, and stating he should have just complied, but that doesn't mean he should have been murdered, and shot,\u201d Shan'e Perkins, the suspect's sister, told KETV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But body cam footage tells a different story. Footage shows officers yell several clear commands after observing the suspect appearing to dig and reach for something in the vehicle. Jones ignores nearly a full minute's worth of commands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Show your hands!\" and \"Stop reaching!\" ring out on the footage. But Jones keeps reaching, and one officer finally spots a gun. So shots ring out next on video, ultimately killing Jones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I shot him,\" said officer Dan Faulkner, reported ketv.com. \"He pulled a gun. he was digging in the car. We were yelling at him (sighs) ... Why couldn't he just ...\" <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The anti-police movement will attempt to catalog this shooting as another example of race-based police brutality. But the footage shows the suspect \u2014 a convict with a gun \u2014 forced the situation. He could have complied and lived. Instead, he seemingly attempted to draw on officers. But none of that fits the current narrative. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Suspect Ignores Commands, Fumbles With Gun, Gets Fatally Shot","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-31 21:36:51","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-01 01:36:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/26\/kenneth-jones-gun-fatal-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124696,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-21 10:41:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-21 14:41:19","post_content":"\n

Tragedy struck Columbus, Ohio, yesterday, again involving police and the death of a Black suspect. In this case, a Columbus Police officer shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant Tuesday. However, body cam<\/a> footage clearly shows Bryant wielding a knife, attempting to cut another girl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant Wielded Knife Before Fatal Shooting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fatal incident occurred just before the reading of the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict<\/a> in Minnesota. Locally, the shooting comes two months after another officer faced indictment for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, also Black. The connections caused immediate reaction across the country, criticizing law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"As we breathed a collective sigh of relief today, a community in Columbus felt the sting of another police shooting,\" Tweeted Ben Crump, George Floyd's family attorney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this incident appears different from others. It began when police arrived, finding a group of teens in a driveway. Footage shows one teen move on another, threatening with a knife. An officer clearly yells several commands, but the suspect lunges anyway. He then fires several shots, ultimately killing Bryant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We know based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community,\" Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther said at the news conference, reported CNN<\/a>. \"But a family is grieving tonight and this young (16)-year-old girl will never be coming home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snapping Back at Critics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But former law enforcement officer and conservative media personality Brandon Tatum went further, calling the shooting \"justified.\" Tatum posted a video where he provides expert analysis. He immediately points out how this large crowd of people fail to disperse upon police arrival. He illustrates one man kicking a female in the head. Tatum then shows slow-motion proof of the suspect lunging at another female with a knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"She pulls out a knife in front of the cops,\" Tatum said. \"She pulls out a knife. Look at what she does with the knife! Look at what she does with the knife! She's going for this girl's throat, with the knife. She's trying to stab her in the head, with this knife. And the officer shot her.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tatum makes an even greater point, hitting the very message critics drive home. A 16-year-old girl dead; some critics of law enforcement simply won't accept she should be shot by police. It's just too horrific for some to comprehend. But in this instance, Tatum says one life taken, however tragic, saved another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An officer has an obligation to preserve the life of other people, not just the police officer,\" Tatum said. \"So if you see a person going to kill another person, which is what she's doing with this knife, when you see a person attempting to kill another person, you have to use deadly force to save this person's life.\" <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Columbus PD Shoots 16-Year-Old Ma'Khia Bryant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"makhia-bryant-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/21\/makhia-bryant-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124700,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-20 16:15:43","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-20 20:15:43","post_content":"\n

Recently released body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside, Calif., shows a suspect go for a gun. The response came quickly and concisely from a Riverside METRO officer. Moreover, he used an iconic piece of fightin' iron in the process, possibly a SW1911. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The footage<\/a> shows what clearly appears to be a full-size 1911 in the officer's hand. From the seemingly Novak sights to the skeletonized trigger and hammer, he pulled an Old Warhorse for sure. Complete with a rail and attached weapon light, the pistol resembles a 2005 contract gun awarded to Smith & Wesson. The SW1911 included a universal Picatinny rail and stainless steel frame and slide in a non-reflective matte grey finish. Chambered in .45 ACP, it came with an 8+1 capacity. It originally shipped with Hogue rubber grips and Novak Night Sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the model, an officer put it to good use Jan. 26 when police searched for a wanted parolee at large, reported a Riverside Police Department release<\/a>. Officers found 29-year-old Xavier Daniel Lopez, on parole for assault with a firearm. Officers approached the suspect and attempted to take him into custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shows an officer approach the suspect, commanding several times to show hands or quit reaching into his pocket. But Lopez goes for a gun instead. An officer responds with several quick shots, stopping the threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials transported Lopez to a local hospital. He remains listed in critical condition. Officers recovered a firearm in the suspect's possession following the shooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident stands as a clear reminder just how fast a situation can turn. The officer, on the scene for mere seconds, quickly deduced the suspect planned to pull a gun. Though the officer warned him several times, he quickly put his duty pistol into service, ending a grave threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also reminds just how iconic the 1911 remains more than 100 years after its invention. In the right hands, it still commands quite the punch. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Riverside METRO Officer Pulls SW1911, Drops Armed Parolee","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"riverside-metro-officer-sw1911","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/20\/riverside-metro-officer-sw1911\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124708,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-19 09:26:34","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-19 13:26:34","post_content":"\n

A frightening scene turned fatal when police shot a killed an armed suspect in Phoenix on April 3. The fatal shooting occurred after suspect Jose Arenas allegedly waved a gun at several people, threatening to rob victims. Arenas then aimed his pistol at a responding officer, who fatally shot the suspect multiple times at extremely close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jose Arenas Aims Pistol at Police<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The incident began when police answered a 911 call, according to a Phoenix Police Department Critical Incident Briefing<\/a>. A suspect reportedly pointed a handgun at multiple people. When officers arrived, they found an armed 26-year-old Arenas outside a restaurant. Arenas allegedly pointed a gun at family and a police helicopter during the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage<\/a> shows arenas wave the gun around inside a restaurant. He appears to nearly take hostages at one point, just before an officer bursts into the restaurant. Footage shows Arenas quickly run for cover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Officers told Arenas to drop the gun, but he refused,\" said a Phoenix Police statement. \"He fled into the restaurant which was occupied by multiple people. Once inside he pointed the gun and assaulted two customers. An officer followed Arenas into the restaurant and gave another command to drop the gun, which Arenas ignored. He pointed the handgun at the officer, and the officer fired at Arenas, striking him.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the police description of the fight sells the officer short. Footage shows the officer round the corner of the divider to find a suspect pointing a gun right at him, and at point blank range. The officer incredibly reacts quickly, his optic-mounted sidearm cycling several times during the video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make no mistake. This was a fight in a phone booth, and the officer managed to come out unscathed. The video shows just how quickly shootouts can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities transported Arenas to a local hospital where officials pronounced him dead. Police found and recovered the suspect's gun on the scene, according to a Phoenix Police Department statement. <\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Phoenix Officer Wins Very Close-Range Shootout in Restaurant","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_modified_gmt":"2023-05-31 16:12:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/19\/jose-arenas-phoenix-shooting\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":124728,"post_author":"645","post_date":"2021-04-14 11:30:23","post_date_gmt":"2021-04-14 15:30:23","post_content":"\n

Amid Minnesota's decent back into chaos<\/a> and a New Mexico State trooper executed in cold blood<\/a>, the world also focuses its attention on Windsor, Va. Located just inland from Newport News, an area crawling with U.S. military, an interaction between a soldier and police exploded into a viral sensation. Critics claim it shows more police brutality toward a Black man. Others counter that Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario acted suspiciously and ignored numerous commands before Officer Joe Gutierrez pepper sprayed the suspect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Army 2nd Lt. Caron Nazario Pepper-Sprayed During Traffic Stop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But Nazario filmed the interaction with police. Officers use rough language as the video goes on. Meanwhile, Nazario carries a gun, and officers eventually use less lethal force. At the end of the day, everyone went home safe. Now the department faces further investigation on potential patterns of misconduct<\/a>, Gutierrez is out of a job, and Nazario is suing for damages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The town of Windsor prides itself on its small-town charm and the community-wide respect of its Police Department,\" said a town press release, reported The New York Times<\/a>. \"Due to this, we are saddened for events like this to cast our community in a negative light. Rather than deflect criticism, we have addressed these matters with our personnel administratively, we are reaching out to community stakeholders to engage in dialogue, and commit ourselves to additional discussions in the future.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left-leaning critics exploded with anger as the video gained traction on social media. Now Virginia's Democrat, and extremely anti-gun Governor, Ralph Northam, called for Virginia State Police to conduct its own investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The incident in Windsor is disturbing and angered me \u2014 and I am directing the Virginia State Police to conduct an independent investigation,\" Mr. Northam said, reported The New York Times. \"Our Commonwealth has done important work on police reform, but we must keep working to ensure that Virginians are safe during interactions with police, the enforcement of laws is fair and equitable, and people are held accountable.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caron Nazario Body Cam Footage Raises Questions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

But the body cam footage and quick dismissal failed to satisfy every expert. Conservative media personality Brandon Tatum<\/a> saw something different. Tatum, a former college football player, related to the great NFL Hall of Fame player Jack Tatum, pursued a career in law enforcement following his football career. Tatum served with the Tucson, Ariz., Police Department until 2017. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This gentleman, who is an active duty military personnel, obviously a 2nd lieutenant in the military. He's a leader in the military. His rank is higher than these police officers are ranked, when you look at a lieutenant versus a patrol officer. And he, in my personal opinion, knew better than what he was doing and his actions led to the police interaction that he had, and it resulted in him not losing his life, which is a positive thing.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/VgBMnJyOiT0\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tatum put the entire traffic stop into context, from a law enforcement officer's eyes. Officers pulled over the suspect for improper tag display. According to Tatum, Nazario then drove a mile and a half before finally pulling over. Those choices turned the traffic stop into a high-risk stop. Nazario's actions prompted guns drawn from the jump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tatum then breaks down the sheer volume of times Gutierrez shouted commands. \"Get out of the car.\" \"Show your hands.\" The commands come again and again. Meanwhile, Nazario sets his phone up to video the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"While he's giving these commands, this gentleman is setting his phone up, in my personal opinion, to be a martyr,\" Tatum says. \"He done set his phone up, but not listening to commands. ... He still don't put his hands out the window! One hand is out, the other one is sitting right here on the thing. Look at the smug on his face.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Was This Officer Wrong for Pepper Spraying Army Lieutenant?","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-04-25 13:29:37","post_modified_gmt":"2024-04-25 17:29:37","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2021\/04\/14\/officer-gutierrez-pepper-spary-caron-nazario\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":2},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_23"};
