This man attempted to ignite a gas station with a lighter. Hey, what's bothering you so much? You're willing to do something like this? Come on, man. Talk to me. And when officers intervened, he beat the crap out of them using a metal rod. [Music] This other suspect brandished a piece of burning lumber. Get police stop. and he dealt with the officer who tried to stop him. Seattle police stop, dude. This suspect not only took on police officers, but also US marshals armed with guns using a wooden table leg. However, let's start with this suspect who was armed with a running chainsaw. This is 36-year-old Rono Alberto Zendhas. On May 4th, 2020, officers from the Sparks Police Department in Wo County, Nevada, swiftly responded after motel staff in the Sparks area reported a highly unstable guest attacking staff and other occupants with a running chainsaw. As the officers arrived to apprehend him, the suspect quickly pulls a fast one on them. Where is he at? I think they're right there. Yeah, they're they're here right now. I see them. All righty. Stop. Police. Let me see your hands. Don't ride, man. Stop the car. Stop the car. [Applause] [Applause] Stop the car. [Music] Car's rever [Music] 91. He distracted our car. The officers attempted to exercise maximum restraint, resorting even to throwing stones at the fleeing suspect to avoid resorting to deadly force despite the suspect's erratic behavior up to this point. However, the officer's approach shifted as the suspect continued to pose a threat to himself, the officers, and others. Shut your heads. Shut your hands. Stop. At the moment, the officers fired multiple shots at the suspect in his car, bringing the pursuit to a significant halt. They promptly approached to check on the incapacitated suspect. He's not going anywhere. [Music] 391. Shots fired. Don't get behind his car. Let me see your hands. He's got the gas on his foot on the gas. [Music] He's got his foot on the gas. Be careful. Is he moving? I don't know. I can't tell. Let me see your hands. The officers hesitated to provide immediate medical assistance to the suspect because his car was still running, fearing he might attempt to run them over. However, by the time they decided to administer raid, it was too late. The suspect had already bled out from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead, and a subsequent autopsy confirmed that the cause of the death was from the gunshot wounds. No disciplinary actions were taken against the officers as the district attorney's office deemed their actions justified. The next suspect attempted to set fire to a gas station and the responding officers got the beating of their life when they tried to stop him. [Music] [Music] On January 4th, 2020, officers were dispatched after numerous frightened customers reported that 32-year-old Joseé Antonio Delos Santos was attempting to ignite a gas station by using a lighter on the gas pump. By the time officers arrived, the entire gas station had already been deserted, and Joseé Antonio showed no intention of backing down. Hey, what's bothering you so much you're willing to do something like this? Come on, man. Talk to me. Come on, man. Talk to me. What's going on? Still just standing there with a lit lighter and the gas pump in his hand with a piece of paper in the tip of the gas pump. What's going on, dude? Tell me uh tell me what's going on. This way I can help you. Anything uh particular bothering you? Give me uh Give me something to work with, man. What's What's going on? Come on, man. Talk to me. What's your name? At least the officer, fearful of the suspect's unpredictability, hesitated to approach. Cautious of the potential danger of the unstable suspect, proceeded to ignite the gas station. Preferring to maintain a safe distance, the officer engaged in dialogue to calm the situation. However, another courageous officer arrived soon after, undeterred by the potential danger of an explosion. Hey, boss. What's your name? What are you doing? What's your plan? Where's the shut off valve? The I believe there's a shut off valve right next to the cashier's window. It's where it looks like it's uh next to that van. Watch him. Hey, I don't know if it's off or not. It is not doing any noise. You're good. All right, man. It's off. You're good. All right, man. Talk to me. Although the officers had successfully shut off the gas valve, their task was only halfway complete, they still needed to subdue the suspect. However, this proved challenging as the suspect was armed with a lengthy rod and clearly intended to use it. Hey, put down the lighter. Hey, put down the lighter. Bag him. Bag him. Bag him. He's lighting it, bro. Hey, stop it right now or you're going to get stumbaged. Hey, stop right now or you're going to get stumbked. Hey, somebody Hey, I don't know if it's off or not. It is not doing any noise. Hey, put down the lighter. Bag him. Bag him. Bag him. He's lighting it, bro. Hey, stop him right now. Hey, stop right now. Hey, you're going to get shot. You're going to get shot. Get shot. Look at the shot. At that moment, the officers fired three shots at the suspect as he had been overpowering them until then. Despite being shot, the suspect survived and was quickly transported to the hospital. His sinister laughter during the incident led the police department to suspect he may be dealing with mental health issues. Upon release from the hospital, he faced charges of assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon and attempted arson. You might think this suspect was crazy, but wait until you meet the next suspect who literally set fire to a police car with an officer inside. Seattle police, stop, dude. [Applause] On October 15th, 2020, Seattle police officers responded to reports of an unstable man wielding a burning piece of lumber. Although locating the suspect wasn't challenging, the officer would not describe the encounter as easy as the suspect proved to be quite difficult to handle. All right. He's going to be in the alley uh just north of Denny Park uh on south of Westlake uh to the east of Dexter. He's just walking down the alley southbound with the stick on fire and it is very on fire. Hey, Seattle police stop. The suspect called the officer off, prompting the officer to approach closer in an attempt to stop him. However, the suspect's next move caught the officer offguard, nearly costing the officer dearly. Seattle police, stop, dude. [Applause] At that moment, the officer fired several rounds at the suspect, who would set the police car on fire with the officer inside. None of the officer's bullets hit the suspect who hurriedly fled the scene. Shots fired. fire. The patrol car burned completely to the ground. However, the suspect did not escape for long. Other officers chased him to a parking garage where he was tased, apprehended, and subdued. The suspect was charged with first-degree assault with bail set at 500,000.

In the next case, the officer had to contend with a suspect who was not only unruly and condescending, but also armed with a pair of scissors. Maybe not, man. Put those scissors down. You're going to have to shoot me. Put those scissors down. No, you're not going to shoot me. You're not going to shoot me. You're going to have to shoot me. This is 45-year-old Shannon Rouper who threatened the staff at the Laquenta Inn Hotel in Louisiana and yelled uncouthed remarks at a black bossier city police officer who responded to the staff's call. However, she would soon regret her actions as you will soon see. Please get off the phone. There's only one copy. They're trying to be here and they're trying to they're trying to here. Man, put those scissors down. You going to have to shoot me, [ __ ] Put those scissors down. No, you're not going to shoot me. You're not taking a shooting. You're going to have to shoot me. Please call number one. Put those scissors down. Hey, put those scissors down. You have to shoot me. Put those scissors down. Put those scissors down. You [ __ ] shoot me, [ __ ] Hey, go back over there. She continued to utter profanities and defy the officer, but things took a turn for the worse when she made an unwise move, prompting the officer to take drastic measures. You're going to have to shoot and kill me. You're going to have to shoot and kill you. 104 headquarters 1033 the channel. Give me a sign over here. We got a white female. She has to call. You ready? Hey, if you come over here, I will kill you. At that moment, the officer fired at her as she rushed toward him with great speed, wielding a pair of scissors. However, the strangest thing happened. The woman continued to hold on to the scissors even after being shot. Drop the scissors. Drop the scissors. Shots fired. Shots fired. White female on the ground. Still got scissors in her hands. Shots fired. Shots fired. Drop the scissors. Hey, back up. Everybody back up. Hey, get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Hurry up. Go that way. Go that way, man. Drop the scissors. Please drop the scissors, man. Please drop them. Drop them. It was quite strange to see the man sitting nearby continue eating his food as if nothing had happened. The woman did not survive the shooting and the officer faced no disciplinary action as the district attorney deemed the shooting justifiable homicide. This next case was incredibly intense as the suspect armed with a wooden table leg not only took on armed officers but also armed US marshals. On April 18th, 2024, the Lorraine Police Department, collaborating with US Marshals, embarked on executing an arrest warrant for 34year-old Derek Smith, who had violated his federal parole by missing a court hearing. The officers were fully equipped due to the suspect's history, but even their preparedness couldn't save them from what was to come. Hey, Derek, we want you to get hurt. Your PO wants to talk to you now. You have to understand if I have to break down the store and you get physical with us, we're going to have to we're going to have to charge you. What's that? You're already getting charged. All you have, man, is you missed you missed the court hearing. That's all you did is you missed the court hearing. What's that? Okay. So, you have to understand everything that's going to happen from now on. I don't want to hear that. You don't want to hear that. We're done talking. Okay. Go here. The suspect refused to cooperate with the officers, keeping his door locked. The officers had the authority to enforce the arrest with their warrant, and they proceeded to breach the suspect's door. He threw something. Threw something out. Hit me right now. You okay? Whatever was it? A light. He's got some kind of weapon. You got a bat? Yeah, he does. Something's got a bat in his hand. Officers attempted once more to breach the door and use the non-lethal taser, but the level of viciousness they encountered from the suspect exceeded anything they could have prepared for. Get out of At that moment, the officers resorted to using their firearms as their tasers proved ineffective and the suspect was overpowering them with the wooden table leg he wielded. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene and several officers, including the US Marshall, sustained serious injuries, but none lost their lives. This suspect lost his life attempting to confront armed law enforcement officers single-handedly with a wooden table leg. However, the next suspect was hilarious as he tried to take on two armed officers with a paintbrush. Head down. Head down. Hey, put it down. Let's leave him. This is 43-year-old Orena who mistakenly believed he could confront two armed police officers with a paintbrush. But he couldn't have been more mistaken. On May 3rd, 2024, Orena's wife and neighbor called 911 to report his violent behavior. Or Elena's wife and neighbor called 911 to report his violent behavior, property destruction, and physical altercation with a family member. Hello. What's going on? got a friend right here. He's got he's gotten into a violent mode. He broke the windshield on the car. He got in a fight with his son right here. Right here. And he's thinking that somebody ripped him off. Okay. Where's he at? Right there. There's a son, guys. Okay. Relax. You relax. Who are you? Don't worry about me. Are you the neighbor? Yeah. All right. We'll go inside. While the officers were still discussing with the neighbor who made the call, the situation suddenly escalated when Oralena chose to direct his aggression towards the armed police officers present. Go inside. Turn around, duck. Turn on. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Head down. Head down. Hey, put it down. Let's leave him. Better stop. You better stop right now. Stop. Stop right now. Stop right now. Drop that [ __ ] Drop that. Drop that right now. Drop that. Hey, go inside. Go inside. The officers conferred and decided to deploy their less lethal tasers. But the suspect's subsequent actions prompted a shift in the officer's approach, resulting in a very dangerous outcome. Hey, go inside. Go inside. All of you go inside. inside his arms. They on. At that moment, the officers fired at the suspect, hitting him in the lower torso, and the suspect immediately began to regret his actions, realizing he had made a serious mistake. Let me see your hand. Let me see your hand. Keep eyes on him. Keep eyes on them. He doesn't have a gun, right? I can't see his waistband. We didn't We didn't Let me see your hand. Get your hand out. Get your hand out. Get your hand out. We're here to help you. Get your hand out. Stick your hand out, friend. Get your hand out. Get your left hand away. Stay on your stomach. Okay. Okay. Help us out. Come this way. Come this way so I can assess you. Grab his hand. Grab his hand. He was uncovered as soon as we got here. This way. This way. This way. This way. I need to put handcuffs on you. Then I can assess your injuries. Okay. Hey, knock it off. We're here to help you. All right. The suspect was taken to the hospital and survived the encounter. Or Elena's family informed reporters that they plan to file a lawsuit against the county. In the next case, the officers had to confront a university student armed with a metal rod, displaying unmatched viciousness as he approached them. Don't come at me. Don't come at me. University of Chicago police officers swiftly responded to a report of an ongoing burglary when they spotted 21-year-old Charles Thomas breaking car windows. The officers immediately moved in to apprehend the suspect. 21 mental. Oh, he's a mento. I have him. Hey, son. Hey, stop this. Stop this. Don't come at me. Come on. Hey, put down the weapon. As soon as Charles spotted the officer, he began approaching them at an alarming speed, and the situation only escalated from there. What the What the do you want? What the do you want? You sir, I need you to drop that weapon. The suspect continued charging towards the officer who kept stepping back. However, as the suspect's pursuit intensified, the officer resorted to extreme measures. Got that weapon. Don't come at me. Don't come at me. At that moment, the officer deployed his firearm to protect himself as the suspect continued to charge towards him at a dangerous speed while armed. And the suspect clearly did not enjoy being shot. A you all you all you all you all you all you all you all you all get her back The suspect was promptly arrested and taken to the hospital where he survived the gunshot. The officer was placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal review by the police department. The suspect was charged with felony aggravated assault of a peace officer and two counts of felony criminal damage to property. The next suspect was unmatched as he was armed with two hatchets, three pipes, seven knives, nunchucks, and a sword. Stop. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. Drop it. On January 9th, 2018, San Jose police officers responded to the Metcap Energy Center following reports of a 27-year-old Thompson Ninga climbing and jumping the fence in an attempt to shut down the facility. The suspect's family had reported that he suffered from paranoia and mental illness. And they also claimed he believed the government was controlling people's minds with electricity. He was heavily armed, necessitating the deployment of several armed officers. He's got swords, weapons, all kinds of stuff. Meth pipe. I can see it in the center console through the window there. He's walking to where the people are up on the back side over here. So, I don't want to leave the car. Do you have one of your red traps on you right now? Um, the yellow tin. Uh, also start me less lethal. Copy that. The officer deployed stop sticks on the suspect's tires to prevent him from escaping in his car. And then they enter the facility in search of the suspect. Hey, he's right here. Right there behind the gate. Hey. Hey, San Jose. Police. Drop it. Drop the axe. Drop it. Yellow tenny's got an axe. Code 33. Go to right behind you. Drop it. Drop the axe now. There's one on the back. There's an axe in hand. Yeah. Get me some more units over here. You clear? Yeah. Hey, get on the ground. Yellow. You clear? Yellow four. Get on the ground. Yellow 10. I need uh I need somebody to go. [Music] Hey, this is a police department. Put the axe down now. Show me off. Stop on the stop. Go ahead. Okay. Okay. Okay, we're heading westbound right inside the gate. Following behind him. He's on foot. Uh he saw an axe and a large pole. Caution for officers coming in. Off to your westbound following behind him in front of the gate. Hey. Of course, the suspect didn't drop the axe or the long pole he wielded. The suspect continued walking away from the officers for an extended period. The climax of the interaction occurred when the suspect did something so foolish that the officers abandoned their non-lethal approach. Don't want to talk to you, bud. Stop. Want to talk to you. Drop it. Drop the weapon. We're not saying you did. We're Hey, we don't want to shoot. Drop the weapon. Drop the weapon. Put it down. Back up. See if we can back up. Put it down. We Okay. Put it down. Put down. No. We don't want to do anything. Put it down. No. Listen. Let me talk. Hey, put Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop it. At that moment, the officers fired multiple rounds at the suspect as he approached dangerously close while wielding deadly weapons. The suspect died at the scene and none of the officers were sanctioned for the shooting as the district attorney found it justifiable. In response to the public outrage over the incident, the police department initiated a program to train their staff on handling situations involving suspects with mental illnesses. The suspect in the next case was a shoplifter armed with a bat and wasn't intimidated even in the presence of armed police officers. On April 18th, 2020, San Leandra police officers in California responded to reports of a 33-year-old DeMarco Taylor attempting to steal from a store while wielding a bat in a threatening matter towards customers and cashiers. [ __ ] Uhhuh. Uhuh. Oh my god. You is so stupid. Hey, put it down, man. Put it down. Put it down. [Music] The officer immediately tried to disarm the suspect upon arrival, but failed as the suspect saw him coming. The officer persisted in his attempts to seize the bat, even resorting to tasing the suspect. However, something unfortunate occurred when the suspect refused to drop the bat and continued advancing toward the officer. Get the bat down. Drop the bat, man. Drop the bat. Drop the bat. [Applause] Shot fired. Shot fired. Shark medical. Sit down. At that moment, the officer shot at the suspect. But what was surprising was that even the gunshot didn't incapacitate the suspect. Shortly after, another officer arrived and used a taser to subdue the suspect. Shot fired. Shots fired. Start medical. Sit down. Oh my [ __ ] god. The officer immediately tried to secure him in handcuffs, neglecting to tend to his wounds despite the suspect losing a significant amount of blood. The officer's approach proved fatal as they were unable to revive the suspect due to the extensive blood loss. Consequently, the officer faced consequences and was charged with voluntary manslaughter as the DA deemed his use of deadly force unreasonable at that moment.
