hey I wanted to revisit the last video that I uploaded called scared ponytail cop blanks unarmed homeless man because you know some people were making some comments and I want to respond to it it is easy to sit here behind a keyboard in a monitor and start saying what I would have done in that situation and this person shouldn't have done that I think there's some pretty basic clues in the way this female cop handled this but I didn't spend enough time on the 9-1-1 call and I have since talked to a 9-1-1 operator that I personally know to ask her what she would have done if she got this kind of call let's go ahead and let's listen to the 9-1-1 call again and then I want to highlight some of the things that this 911 dispatcher actually said how can I help you hello um calling from the whistling Field Mall just calling because we basically have this transient who was causing issues at first but we found him sleeping in front of these we tried talking to him I know you know that's part of property you can't sleep here but he does not want to leave at all like you just basically we won't start a flight whenever we go up to him try to make him leave he wants to start a fight whenever we go up to him is what he said and then he says this um do you want us to come there and trespass them yeah basically like just to come down here and just make them leave property because whenever we try to talk to him he just gets really irate and just basically just says the only way I'm gonna get out of here for like I want to be in the choke that's important because in my opinion the system failed both the guy who was offed and the female cop put them both in a really bad situation he says whenever we try to talk to him he just gets really irate and basically says the only way I'm gonna get out of here is if I put one of you in a choke hold so what is the response of the LA County Sheriff's Department hey uh hey is Lorraine back there an accountant go ahead and send her that is not what you would want to do the deputy's name is Lorena Gonzalez according to the crime scene investigation report and this person right here said it's easy to second-guess someone from behind the keyboard but when you are in danger it is not always easy to do the right thing fair enough fair enough as far as I'm concerned the officer was right to you know what the guy because he was advancing on her well she should have never been in that situation number one because according to the dispatcher I talked to she said there is no way I would send one person out there I would at least send two males so I wanted to talk a little bit about what possibly was going on with this guy right here let's go ahead and get his image up there his name was Christopher Lee Mercurio he was 50 years old this is him right here and it was obvious from the get-go when she engaged in a conversation with them that this guy has some issues that need special handling and it probably would have been a good idea for this cop like I said in the last video to exercise some options instead of jumping right to lethal Force there's something that this 911 operator told me that's something called excited delirium and they would just assume right off the cuff when the guy called in to dispatch saying whenever we try to talk to him he gets really irate and basically starts threatening bodily harm they would automatically assume that there's probably an element of drug use here and then there's this condition called excited delirium throughout the 19th century and early 20th century excited delirium was used to describe an emotional and agitated State related to drug overdose and withdrawal or poisonings similar to Catatonia or bellsmania with some believing them to be the same condition now what they say is of the many possibilities forexcited delirium the syndrome today appears to be mostly associated with the abuse of cocaine or amphetamine and with endogenous which means coming from the internal part or the or originating from inside mental disease such as schizophrenia and the interesting part about this is there is an aspect of superhuman strength whether you're talking about a male or female excited delirium is used as a field diagnosis by First Responders across the country officers in many police departments are officially taught to look for superhuman strength and police non-compliance as symptoms of a syndrome that could kill the subject of an emergency call or induce that person to kill them and when if you looked at the body cam footage from police activity the unedited version when she fires the first shot it's almost like it didn't phase him at all it's like he just brushed it off like it was a fly just kind of looked down and just kept going after on the second one same thing it almost looks like it didn't phase him when he walked back to his sleeping bag and you know ended up expiring so I did want to I want to share with you the element I don't want to be unfair to anybody I don't want to be unfair to a a person who's not a cop and I don't want to be unfair to the cop I just think if you have a call where somebody has already established an aggressive posture and is threatening people the last thing you want to do is send out one police officer let alone a tiny female police officer who's definitely not going to be able to handle it because when you Corner her what's she gonna do she's going to want to preserve her life that's understandable every one of us would want to preserve Our Lives maybe we would go at it a little bit differently maybe wouldn't we wouldn't reach for lethal maybe we would we would have tried a taser and some people might argue well if the nine millimeter or the 40 cal didn't take him down what do you expect a taser to do she didn't even try she didn't even know maybe she suspected that the guy's on drugs and oh I'm in trouble here if he gets he get if he grabs my wrist and then he pulls me in and he's already threatened to you know take care of me good good and well so you know I'm sure I'm sure this female officer her adrenaline was going it was just a bad situation all around this guy was showing signs of not being reasonable rational or stable and she could have exercised options but to begin with the 9-1-1 dispatcher should have said well that we have the not I don't know what the 911 dispatcher said to the cops we know what the person said to the 911 dispatcher now the question is did the 911 dispatcher convey the Vital Information that any cop arriving on the scene would need to know so that they would be prepared to handle this situation if not that 9-1-1 dispatcher from what I understand can be held liable you let me know if this is reasonable Stephen Sanders says don't blame her I would have popped his you know what if he came at me with threats I don't know if I would have and you never know unless you're in that situation but I just don't know if I would have would you would you have if somebody's coming at you and you don't perceive that they have a knife or any other kind of deadly weapon would you actually draw your firearm cops should never just walk away this person says really cops should never walk away she does not know if he's armed or not suppose she walks away and then he hurts someone you would be critical for her not standing her ground I don't know I don't know there's always another option there's always another way and I just think that the comedy of errors here started with what information did the police department get for one cop to show up on the scene of somebody who is clearly aggressive clearly making threats I would want to know that call back up uh head toward the cruiser when backup arrives everyone has their tasers out put them in custody and then everyone potentially lives but we also know that there's a there's a group mentality that happens when a bunch of law enforcers show up because you know think about Eric Garner that guy got on him choked him out other officers are not getting off of him not letting him breathe and he expires think about Daniel shaver there's five well-armed well defended because they have their Kevlar vests and everything on they're all tacked out Daniel Shavers in his t-shirt and shorts that's that's all he's got he's trying to do his best to obey the commands that Philip brailsford and his henchmen and yet they still end up ending his life so I get it when more officers come it doesn't usually end up good for the perp it's important to get the right information when you get the right information you can make the right adjustments I just don't think that they were fair to the female police officer who arrived on the scene nor were they fair to the guy who end up ended up expiring you guys let me know what you think about this I want to be fair to my fellow human beings whether they're in a uniform or not whether they come as agents of the state or not I want to look at these things and try to figure out what the heck could have been done better where everybody walks away way alive what could have been done better where everybody walks away and Justice was actually done what could have been done I truly believe that none of us is greater than all of us whatever I'm blind to maybe you can see the deficiencies in my blind spot and vice versa because we just need each other leave your thoughts I appreciate you guys joining the channel if you haven't done so already subscribe hit the like you know share this video
