The Georgia cop? Saddest thing I have ever watched. You can actually hear him take his last breath


Is this the dude that got gunned down by the ak47 or whatever it was.. guy was clearly insane and was like yelling "shoot me" and other crazy shite. Traffic stop. I remember reading that he didn't follow his training.

Damn. The world would've been a better place if Calvin was removed from the gene pool.

The comments under the video say Calvin lived and wasn't charged with a crime.

This had nothing to do about race. That police really didn't want to shoot that guy, but had no choice. That guy wasn't in the right frame of mind and I am pretty sure anyone who watches that will feel the same.

I didn't say he died. I said he was dying.

The fact Calvin didn't die should speak volumes to all the "The cop waited just the right amount of time" crowd. He waited way too long. People have gotten shot and killed by other people who already have been shot. It's not like the movies where every shot immediately incapacitates the target.

For the record, that Nam vet referenced earlier took a round or two and kept pressing the fight.

Of course he didn't want to shoot him. Cops are afraid of backlash from the media and certain groups who fail to understand the meaning of deadly force. Unfortunately more police officers will be killed for being too hesitant when it's clearly a justified shooting. It's sad

And everyone had such high hopes for Calvin when he worked at McDonald's....
