  1. Wait you only have a second to drop a gun? That is not enough time. One second to say drop the gun. A second to let it register, a second to think and a second to drop or point . He was not give. Enough time to make a decision BLM

  2. Don't open the door for the cops with a gun in your hand or kidnap your own family. Some how I doubt this is the help the family was looking for though. They were justified, but they could have gave him more then a second to respond. I don't know maybe if they didn't shoot him he would have opened fire. This is one of those lawful but awful situations.

  3. And what medication was he on @0:30 sounds like a mental health episode…!

  4. i know it won’t be investigated because police are above the law…. but this feels like murder… a well trained murder 🤔

  5. Yeah they gave him 0.001 second to comply too late.

  6. All these WEAK men out here I could NEVER hurt the 2 women that mean the most to me. You pull a gun on your wife let alone your daughter 6 feet is where you need to be

  7. What an illiterate cop. Second later shot him wow officer you didn't give him the chance to show his hands.

  8. 2023 the craziest year yet

  9. Nashville police killed that man

  10. Funny how the white dude gets shot right away, if he were black it’d be a 3 month stand off where in the end they arrest him peacefully & sues the police dep & wins because they were too rough.

  11. Was he related to Jimmy Capps?

  12. Sorry, but at the rate men are killing their wives and families these days I'm glad the cops got him first. It's in the news every week.

  13. Live by the gun, die by the gun. Good riddance.

  14. Where's the cries of racism

  15. Trigger happy killers at work again ….

  16. Did he get a chance to even drop the gun?

  17. He’s still saying show me you hands as he’s shooting wow 😯

  18. If you give a command, allow time to follow the command. This guy dropped dead before he could show his hands or anything else.

  19. Crazy… what metal pressure will drive him to hold his family hostage…
    Don’t date single mother y’all they drive you crazy lol 😂

  20. If it was handgun I mean come on….. You're wearing bullet proof vest st and you shot someone dead cause you were afraid? It's the same ol story
