Intel 27. This vehicle is going to be involved. It is going to be the suspect. [Music] >> Law enforcement officers have peaceful interactions every day, but sometimes those cops make deadly mistakes. On the night of February 18th, 2023, Lamur County, Colorado Sheriff's Deputy Lorenzo Luhan spotted 28-year-old Brent Thompson driving erratically through a hotel parking lot. After running the Ford Fusion plates and learning it had an expired registration, Deputy Luhan followed Thompson before initiating a stop on the northbound ramp of I25. There, he learned that Thompson's driver's license had been revoked and he was deemed a habitual traffic offender. But after giving the deputy the fake name Jacob Jones and being asked to exit the vehicle, Thompson showed he'd rather flee than face justice. >> Why aren't you giving me the right name? >> It is the right name. >> Yes, it is. >> Um, so right now you're under arrest. >> Stop. Stop. Deputy Luhan threatens to deploy his taser on the unarmed Thompson as he chases him across the median. He then makes good on his threat at the worst possible moment just as Thompson is running into oncoming traffic. Thompson collapses onto the pavement as a Ford Explorer traveling at 70 mph comes barely toward him. Thompson's ran over by the Ford Explorer and suffers critical injuries. Deputy Luhan then handcuffs the unconscious and bleeding man, turning him over multiple times as he does so. In cases of suspected critical injuries, it's crucial to avoid moving the victim in order to prevent further harm. By doing this, Deputy Luhan is worsening Thompson's condition and hastening his eventual death. >> I don't understand it. I never will. That's why we're bringing the lawsuit. I'd like some justice for justice for my son. Thompson's family filed a lawsuit against Lammer County for the death of their son who had struggled with and was afraid of suffering the painful effects of withdrawal in jail. They were awarded $5 million. >> Legally, um though tragically, Mr. Thompson died in this case. Um it was not a deadly physical force case as Colorado law defines it. >> But despite Deputy Luhan's deadly mistake, Lmer County DA Gordon Mclofflin declined to press charges. A deputy causing a suspect to be run over by an SUV is insane. But what happens when they don't even have the right house? >> Police tot. >> On the night of April 5th, 2023, police in Farmington, New Mexico, arrive at a suburban home in response to a domestic violence call. But little do they know that they're at the wrong house. And 52-year-old resident Robert Dawson has no issues defending himself. >> Farmington, please. Is this not 5308? >> That's what it said right there. Right. >> 108. Can you turn on the address? >> 5308 Valley View Avenue. >> Don't tell me I'm wrong. >> Oh [ __ ] The officers finally realize that the house they're supposed to be at is 5308, which is across the street. But when the resident of 5305 appears at the door with his gun, it proves far too late. >> Shots fired. Shots fired. >> You good? >> You good? Back up. Back up. Back up. Check yourself. Check yourself. >> Robert's blinded by the officer's flashlights as he exits the house with his gun. The officers immediately opened fire, striking him 12 times. He died on the scene. But when Robert's wife comes out armed and ready to stand her ground, even more bullets begin to fly. [Music] >> Please don't. Police fire another 19 times at Robert's wife, Kimberly, who is miraculously unharmed during the incident. They later claimed that she opened fire on them with the gun she was holding. With her house seemingly under attack, the couple's daughter calls 911. >> There were gunshots at your house and my dad is shot. >> You heard gunshots and then what? >> My mom was screaming and she was saying like, "Oh my god." Screaming. Oh my god. The chief of police apologized and the officers involved were placed on administrative leave, but no charges were ever filed. >> I'm extremely remorseful over the whole event and I extend nothing but my deepest condolences to the Dodson family. >> The Dodson family would later file a lawsuit against the department, claiming that the police did not announce themselves and Mr. Dodson had no idea who was in his yard shining bright lights at him. You not only took away my husband, my best friend, my soulmate, but you took away numerous children's father, my grandpa, my my grandbaby's papa. >> If you think cops going to the wrong house is bad, wait until you see the ones in our next case. Turn a hostage situation into a massacre. >> He put the He put the gun up to the kid and we shot him. And then every other time, too. We just got to get the kid. >> Just make sure nobody gets talks right now about anything. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Camera's off. >> Got it. >> On November 3rd, 2020, two housekeepers entered the apartment of 39-year-old Diane Hati, who was living peacefully with her two kids, 16-year-old Yasmine and 12-year-old Joseph. The shift started out normal with the housekeepers cleaning the master bedroom, kitchen, and living areas. But in mere moments, things would turn horrific as an unknown male would burst into the home with a handgun and threaten the family. While running into the bathroom to hide, one of the housekeepers heard screaming and multiple gunshots. When the coast was clear, she made a frantic 911 call. >> Okay, tell me exactly what's happening. >> I don't know. I heard gunshots, so I jumped out of the bed and ran next door and now she's laying here. She can't breathe. I can hear choking on her blood. >> Okay. Is she outside or inside? >> She's in her doorway. There's blood. >> Has she been shot? >> Yes. I'm assuming that she's been shot. I can't tell. Her head is >> Is she talking to you? >> Someone else in there. I hear you. Somebody else is inside, but I don't know if I can walk in. >> I hear you. She's screaming, "Help her. Are you in here?" >> You can't move. >> Were you shot, too? >> Yes. After stepping out of the bathroom, the caller sees Yasm mean severely injured in the doorway and then spots two more victims, Diane and her fellow coworker, 33-year-old Veronica Munis. >> Oh my god, there's somebody else here. >> There's somebody else on the floor. >> Okay. Are they bleeding? >> Yes, they're dead. I'm sure they're dead. >> Moments earlier, a resident in a nearby apartment heard a female screaming and someone running up the stairs. And after hearing gunshots, they looked out the window to see the suspect, 38-year-old Jason Neo Bourne, walking out of the apartment complex with a young boy in a headlock. Soon after, the resident ran to the office to contact police. >> Okay. Did anyone see where the person went with the gunshot who was shooting? >> One of our neighbors said that he had a kid with him. >> The guy who was shooting? >> A Hispanic kid and an older black guy. My neighbor seen it. Henderson police quickly arrived to find Diane and Veronica deceased. Yasm mean mortally wounded and Joseph missing. >> Stay away please. Please stay away for me. >> Hey. Hey. You know who did this? >> Do you know him? >> What is his name? You don't know him? Okay. Have you seen him around here before? >> Yes. >> Did he come to Black Escalade? Stay away from the east side of building. It's going to be on the third floor. >> Officers try to get information about the suspect from Yasm mean, but she's unable to help them. Luckily, the nearby neighbor that witnessed the event was able to identify the suspect's car. A black Cadillac Escalade, which is soon spotted parked in the area. After it's confirmed to be the suspect, officers rush to the scene in a desperate attempt to rescue Joseph. >> Let me see your hands. Both of you got it. >> Put your hands up. Exit the vehicle. >> Who is the balcony? >> I got it. >> No, the balcony cannot see me. Driver. Driver. [Music] >> 137. This vehicle is going to be involved. It is going to be the suspect. I see a 12-year-old in the passenger seat. I see hands of the driver and the child. Keep the air clear. Line up. Line up. Line up. >> I have do not have the kid in my sights. >> Okay. >> Just don't want to get the kid. Serge. >> Sir, step out of the vehicle. Let's just talk. Let me see your hand, sir. >> We haven't already activate already activated. >> Just talk to him. See if he'll roll down the window. Just see if he'll roll down the window. >> Hey, >> take a deep breath. Duffy. Take a deep breath. You have your sights on telling the 12-year-old to answer the phone. Okay, Duffy, if we see the gun, we're using less or sorry, we using the force. >> Take a step to the side if we need to. So, we can go a little bit left. Give me that shield, Jesse. Take your shot if you have it before you knock it back. >> He's down. He's down. >> We need help. We need that kid. >> He's down. Oh yeah, he's done. He's done. He's done. He's done. >> The driver is dead. I see him. >> Come around. >> While it may briefly appear that this was a clear resolution to the crisis, it soon becomes evident this is not the case. >> Kids here. Kids here. >> Hold the kid out. Pull the kid out. Pull the kid out. >> It's locked. >> Hey, the guy's still low. >> Get out the way. Get out. >> He's still on. Watch out. >> Hey, he's the driver's still moving. >> Get out. Get out. Get out. >> Get out. Get the Get out. >> Get the Get out. Get out. Come on. >> Move. Come on. Come on. We got go up. Hold him up. >> Hey, get him out of the way. >> Move over here. >> But at least one sergeant expresses dissatisfaction with how this situation played out. >> No, because we took a head shot and you guys opened fire from behind. >> No, I didn't. This is the other side. You can see it right here. He's >> done. He's done. >> Bourne is shot multiple more times and dies on the scene. And while officers do begin CPR on Joseph, he too expires from his injuries. The questions about who's responsible for Joseph's death still remain unanswered. The Henderson Police Department has not publicly confirmed whether any of the 27 bullets they fired that day struck him. The Clark County District Attorney's Office released a notice approximately 3 months later, stating that none of the officers would face criminal charges. >> Put the He put the gun up to the kid and we shot him and then every other fire. >> Did you shoot at all? >> Did you shoot? >> I did not. >> Okay. If you guys shoot, just I want you guys to go over there for me. Kifle over there. What's that now? >> I dumped my rifle at >> Don't worry about any of that over there. >> Did you shoot real quick? >> Okay. I tell you what, stay with me. That's >> stay with you right now. But uh just make sure nobody gets talks right now about anything. Okay. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Camera's off. >> Got it. >> And that's your shoes off. Make sure your camera's off. Amazon. >> Were you able to determine who you believed to be responsible for those gunshot wounds? >> Yes. The investigation revealed that we believe Jason Bourne was responsible for those gunshot wounds. Are you 100% sure that the police didn't kill the the boy? >> The detective is 100% sure. It sounds like >> unloading your semi-automatic rifle into a car with a child hostage is one thing, but wait until you see the man who was only trying to get to the hospital and was nearly shot and killed by a crazy cop on his way. On the morning of September 12th, 2024 in Bowie, Maryland, Sergeant Robert Warrington spots a white SUV parked on Collington Road near Route 50. But as he pulls over to check on the vehicle, he finds an injured man on his way to the hospital. His injuries aren't life-threatening, but the sergeant soon makes sure of that. >> How you doing? You know her? You here to help her? >> Huh? >> Are you here to help her? >> Nah, she taking me in the hospital. Here. >> You got a gun? >> What do you got to do? >> Got a gun. >> I don't have a gun. I don't have a gun. >> What did you do? >> 210. 210. Send me another unit. >> The unarmed man holds on to his bleeding stomach as he walks back to his girlfriend and children in the SUV. But as his hat begins to blow away in the wind, Sergeant Warrington inexplicably draws his guns and fires. The shot misses the man, but strikes a passing minivan. Thankfully, no one was harmed. >> Why did your officer shoot at me for no reason? >> Your head up. >> Yes, sir. >> But Sergeant Warrington would soon suffer the consequences for his reckless actions. >> The department says a 12-year veteran is now facing criminal charges for shooting at a stranded driver last month. So today I'm here to announce that a grand jury in Prince George's County returned an indictment charging Sergeant Robert Warrington of the Buoie City Police Department with one count of attempted seconddegree murder, one count of firstdegree assault, two counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of misconduct in August. 6 weeks later, a grand jury indicted Sergeant Warrington on charges of attempted seconddegree murder and reckless endangerment. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. While making the wrong choice in the heat of the moment is bad, the two cops in our next case seem downright evil. >> Breathing. >> Yeah, he's snoring. >> Agonal breathing. >> Yep. Let's cruise around. >> On the evening of September 10th, 2023, St. Louis officers Ty Warren and Austin Frasier respond to a 911 call from a man saying he was about to shoot himself in Forest Park. But as they arrive, they find that 29-year-old Urion Rodriguez Rivera has already followed through with the threat. >> Right there. While there's no gun at the scene, Orion has been shot in the head and is experiencing what is known as agonal breathing, which often indicates that someone is suffering from a severe medical emergency like cardiac arrest. But instead of calling for help or offering aid, Officer Frasier has a different idea. Since their shifts are almost over, why not just leave the man to die? >> Let's cruise around and come back. Never requesting medical assistance, officers Warren and Frraasier now drive around the area for the next 10 minutes as more officers arrive on scene. >> Have EMS respond for one subject not conscious but breathing barely. >> Looks like it's on the right. >> Breathing. Yep. >> Yeah. You have a gun. >> Officers Warren and Fraser eventually returned to the scene, shockingly acting as if this is the first time they've been there. As more officers arrive on scene to search for the missing gun, Orion is taken to the hospital. He later dies of his injury. After local station KOV obtained the body cam footage, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department was forced to give a statement. The two individuals are no longer employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. While we are unable to comment on specific personnel matters, SLMPD holds its officers to the highest of standards. Officer Warren and Fraser's police licenses have since been revoked, and the gun was never found. As evil as these cops were, what about the deputies who went to a residence to investigate a possible burglary and ended up shooting the person living there instead? In the early morning hours of February 23rd, 2024 in Houston, Texas, 28-year-old Ebony Pouncy and a friend return to the friend's apartment when they realize they've forgotten their keys. It's too late at night to call a locksmith. And faced with being stuck out in the cold, they break a window in order to get in. But when a concerned neighbor calls police and two Harris County deputies arrive, tragedy soon strikes. No. Well, let's go up there. Try stop. >> I didn't tell you. Say puppet. [Music] >> The deputies approach the apartment, noting the window has been broken and the screen removed. They announce their presence, but Ebony and her friend are watching TV and don't hear them. All they heard was a sound at the door. Before Ebony goes to answer this strange late night knock, she understandably drowns a gun. [Music] Top fire. Top fire. [Music] The officers spot Ebony with her gun and immediately open fire, completely emptying their clips twice as they shoot to kill. Ebony is struck five times, including twice in the chest. >> Right there. Go down. Go down. Go down. Charles, we need people. Shots fired. Ebony survived her injuries after undergoing life-saving surgery. Pending an investigation, the deputies involved were placed on administrative leave. I did not realize it was something coming through the the the apartment. I thought it was something outside. >> In a statement, her attorney Ben Crump said that it's his deepest hope that proper justice will be served and the deputies will be held accountable for the excruciating experience that Ebony continues to endure. >> Traumatized. I'm heartbroken. I feel stripped of my identity. Um, I would like for them to not just be priced on administrative leave. I don't think they deserve to have badges. >> Reckless cops shooting you without thinking is bad. But in our next video, a lieutenant misses a morning briefing and ends up shooting his own undercover detective. [Applause] >> Oh [ __ ] that was Jacob. On January 9th, 2015, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, detectives Jacob Brandt and Holly Garcia are operating an undercover sting operation on two suspected drug dealers in an unmarked police car. After pulling into a McDonald's parking lot and making the deal, the detectives hold the dealers at gunpoint while awaiting backup. But unfortunately, their backup is their boss, Lieutenant Greg Brackle, who skipped the morning briefing and has no idea what he's walking into. Hands up. Hands up. Passenger. >> Get your hands up. Put your hands up. >> Put your hands where I can see them. Put your hands where I can see them. Good. Good. [Music] >> Because Lieutenant Brackle missed the briefing. He doesn't know who's sitting where in the unmarked police vehicle or what they're wearing. All he sees is Detective Grant holding the gun. And instead of thinking through the situation, he shoots him eight times at point blank range. >> Back out. >> Holy [ __ ] That was Jacob. >> Are you okay? >> Come on out, dude. Come on. I'm sorry, man. I didn't know it was you. Come here. Come here. >> 355 in there, man. 4355. Now back there in there, bro. I thought you were a bad guy. And this is the moment Lieutenant Brackle realizes he screwed up. The 45 caliber hollowpoint rounds tore into every one of Detective Grant's major organs except his brain and heart. As Lieutenant Brackle scrambles to save his friend's life, he eventually loses 80% of his blood and suffers temporary blindness as a result of his massive injury. You got to hold the line. Man, you're going to be okay, dude. You're going to be okay. You're going to be all right, dude. You're going to be all right. Keep breathing, man. You're going to be okay. I'm sorry, bro. [Music] Well, [Music] >> hang in there, buddy. Hang in there. Arm. >> Detective Brandt survived his injuries after undergoing multiple surgeries, but will most likely undergo many more. After medically retiring and filing a lawsuit against the city of Albuquerque, he received a reported settlement of $6.5 million and a lifetime coverage for medical expenses. I actually felt every round as it impacted my body. Detective Grant said, "I knew without going into detail exactly what was happening to me that moment." The complaint alleged that Lieutenant Brackle heard the details of the operation on his radio while on route to the scene that day, including that the two suspects were of a different race than the detectives. He also knew that officers always sit behind the driver during an undercover bust, and Detective Grant always wore the same clothes during stings. No charges were filed and Lieutenant Rackle retired days before the police oversight board recommended he be fired for violating numerous policies. The bus was for $60 worth of shooting your own detective is bad fire. On the morning of November 12th, 2023 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Okaloosa County deputies respond to an apartment complex where Maris Jackson is suspected of stealing his girlfriend's car. But even though Jackson's already been searched, handcuffed, and placed in a patrol vehicle, Deputy Jesse Hernandez is jumping. Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired. Shots fired. I'm hit. I'm here. >> What? >> I'm hitting the car. >> Yeah, I shot in the car. >> As Deputy Hernandez walks up to the vehicle containing Jackson, an acorn falls on the roof. He somehow interprets this as a gunshot from inside the vehicle and ducks for cover. Believing he's been shot, he unloads his weapon into the back of the vehicle. The unarmed Jackson was luckily unarmed in the incident. >> I don't know. >> I might have hit my vest. I don't know. I It felt like it. >> Hernandez told investigators he heard what he believed was a suppressed weapon and felt an impact on his right upper torso area. His use of force was later determined to violate the policy regarding excessive use of controls resistance and he later resigned from his position. As for Jackson, he was left forever changed by the incident. I was blessed not to get hurt physically. Mentally, I'm not okay. He said, "I haven't been the same since, and I don't think this feeling will ever change. I truly believe I'm damaged for life. [Music]
