Nope, I was very aware of what you were going for, but A for effort!

As you watched the video, did you suspect he may have been impaired?

Did they think he was going to execute a Rambo knife throw and hurt someone? It would have been to simple to just move from that side of the car and let him throw them out


He needed to get out of the car anyways, so why not just leave the knives in the car and he get out. The police were aware of the knives and not worried about them initially, or especially would not have worried about them if he was out of the car. Keep your view of this situation logical. Vehicle was stuck, how is throwing the knives out going to help that situation? I've been pulled over before with all kinds of crap in my vehicle that could have been a weapon. None of it was never mentioned, because I interacted with the police, which was extremely simple and what they wanted.

Is that a normal policy that a cop is told to do in his training, wait it out?

I don't think normal policy was followed at all in this situation, so that question isn't really applicable.

A sober person driving away is relevant to intoxicated driving, how?

I think he was having more of a mental break than anything, which isn't illegal.

Of course they do, but we are asking them to do multiple things at once without appropriate training.


Their training just conditions them to extreme self protection. All PDs should have mental health negotiators on staff.

Not that they would have allowed anyone unarmed near the guy though.

No problem with the shoot here.

Admits to having weapons

Acts totally irrational

Admits to smoking something

Multiple cops asked the dude to get out, including the women and the older gentleman

Cops try multiple nonlethal methods and my guess because the dude is hopped up on drugs they dont work

Dude trys to stab a cop

And this is just from the edited video which without a doubt was edited in a way to be least damaging to the deceased. Not only that, but this shite went on for a long time.

Im sad for the guys family but this is the consequence of getting fricked up out of your mind. Unfortunate, but that is the reality here.

At what point do you believe a LEO was in legitimate threat of serious bodily harm in this situation?

What caused that individual to be sober? Was it law enforcement leaving them to their own decisions?

An intoxicated person driving and crashing being allowed to get away with said crime is absolutely relevant.

Some are arguing the cops should just sit there and wait it out for hours. I highly doubt that's a policy they utilize, so even if that is what you want them to do, I doubt that is something they're allowed to do.


And if they identify some psychiatric issue at hand, whether induced by some drug, medication, or lack thereof, there has to be some protocol in place. If there isn't the issue is structural. If there was a protocol, why wasn't it followed, etc. etc.

The fundamental issue is that we are asking cops to deal with every type of situation with a hammer, and train them as such, and thus everything in the world looks like a nail. Everyone is being failed here.

Right and I and I think others have asked, what is a typical policy...but no one seems to know.

Obviously we won't know this specific department's policy, but it would be good to hear from a cop or someone who knows generally speaking what policies may be or their depts specific policy just for reference.

Or crisis response teams or cross-training in EMS or calling an on-call physician at the nearest hospital and on and on.

If the safety concern was the weapons then getting them out of the car should alleviate that concern. Its was a knife not a gun so the danger is still contaitned in the car. It seemed to be the only option considered was forcefully getting him out of the car, which is the only way the cops could be put in danger by the knife/tools. There is knife let me get closer to it when I don't have to doesn't make sense.


Quit being stupid. Would you trust anything a person in that state of mind is saying? Besides that, he clearly was too fricked up to be driving so he had to come out of the car.

The person being left alone long enough for any potential illegal or intoxicating substances are out of his body and removing any evidence that he may have been possibly driving intoxicated.

If they just sat around for long enough and didn't engage in escalate a situation then yes

That's the other thing, he said he had only knives. You're going to just trust him and tell him to go ahead and grab his weapons...or...ask him to get out of the vehicle?

Simple safety procedure it'd seem is get him out of the car

I'm not 100% sure what Colorado policy is but based on the supervisor's comments they shouldn't have been there so I don't think it's policy to let them wait because they shouldn't have been there to even wait in the first place

Like I said the only people who care are the people who lust for punishment in defiance of the police state.

Probably when the guy swung the knife at the cop trying to open the door.

You're focusing on the wrong thing here. They 100% went about getting him out of the car the wrong way, but once you attempt to stab a cop with a knife, you're putting your life in their hands.
