Update: Knife was closed! Read more here: policecrimes.com Seattle police officer shot and killed John T. Williams, a Native Indian who was well known in the community as a wood carver. The in-car video camera from the officer’s car shows Williams crossing the street in the crosswalk. He held a piece of wood and a 3-inch carving knife in his hand. The officer stopped his car, got out and according to his statement: called out multiple times. It is unclear if Williams heard the officer since he was deaf in one ear, partially deaf in the other and wearing a headset. So far, no evidence has come to light of any aggressive or threatening act by Williams towards the officer or anyone else. According to the autopsy report Williams was not facing the officer when he was shot 4 times. It has been reported that the Seattle Police Department Firearms Review Board made a preliminary finding that the shooting was not justified and the officer’s badge and gun have been surrendered. An inquest is scheduled but the prosecutor may file charges now. In an open letter from the ACLU to Mayor McGinn, Chief of Police John Diaz and the Seattle City Councilmembers, it is noted that “Too often, officers have overreacted or escalated incidents when the subject is an individual of color, disabled, homeless or, otherwise ‘different’.” Police videos police brutality policecrimes.com police brutality Police videos police corruption shootout murder chase fight police sex abuse cops police search …
@me “the GUN acts like psychological safety net on them, they become so attached to its power they pull it out at the slightest whim”
What do you expect? Allocating power to the most psychologically insecure bastards on the planet and them giving them the right to choose whether or not to kill someone. That officer is a fucking pussy, a scared little pussy! A murderer who most likely wont get prosecuted. But its okay, he’ll be back on the street to protect and to serve…. himself. Cops are pigs.
murder!!!
They’re saying now that the knife was closed!
cops murder people everyday, this time one got caught.
we need to critically re-evaluate the entire nature and dispensation of law enforcement in the US
look how he’s holding his gun like he’s swing’in his dick this pig is the biggest PUSSY i have ever seen couldnt he have disarmed him with his club or pepperspray but he didnt even need to do that HE WAS A FEABLE OLD MAN
Murder!!!
the girl in the crosswalk knows whether or not it was murder. did the guy run toward the cop to attack him? if not, any other senario is murder.
yea, he looked pretty dangerous crossing the street. you just never know if he’s a professional knife fighter on PCP.
Murder is all this is.Look Im a big bad cop and I got a gun.This is just crazy and yet they keep getting away with it?????If cops want a war then keep it up and you will get one and trust me you will not win.Justis will win!
4 cops were killed in cold blood in Lakewood, Washington about a year earlier. You’d have to be an idiot not to realize that when cops get shot to death on duty, they’re going to be trigger happy for months(or years) afterwards. This is the hardest civilian job in our country and while this is clearly a case of too-much, too-fast(where’s the taser??), you’d better do what Washington state cops tell you to or you’re going to get shot, fast.
@hyprvypr Too bad it wasn’t 8 cops, that’s just my personal thought. If you don’t like, go fuck yourself. “Not you hyprvypr.”
@hyprvypr
you make me sick
let me make something clear
when a cop kills a civilian cops are killing the trust and proving that we can’t trust the police
when a man kills a police officer? i ai’nt building memorials
they CHOSE that job
fuck you
fuck your family
eat a dick
@policecrimedotcom The knife was closed. Today during the inquest the cop said Williams raised the knife in front of him in a threatening manner. His testimony shows that he still doesn’t get it, civilians are not going to stand for cold blooded executions by rogue cops who then lie in direct contradiction to the facts.
Murder! Now do the honorable thing and take your own life.
there is a word for this…..HOMICIDE!
That’s cold blooded. Homie was in the mood to spill some blood.
Get these psycho soldiers off the streets and off our dime.
Feared for his life my fucking ass…that guy wasn’t even aware that the cop existed before he was shot! That asshole cop had his gun in his hand before he came into the cameras view. Premeditation! That cop should be convicted of murder!
Shame on you Seattle PD….you are a disgrace to the profession. Let’s see how you try to cover this up with your bullshit excuses!
I think its pretty clear that this killing is not justifiable.
This is murder(Period). Thanks to this ignorant cop, more innocennt people honorable police officers will die.
the cop is a pussy plain and simple. I’d slap him with a murder charge then let Cain Velasquez beat his ass to death!
@hyprvypr Oh yea so some retard shoots a few cops and suddenly cops have the right to shoot whoever the fuck they want? Sorry, cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard, to protect us. Not to shoot us down like dogs
@policecrimedotcom Yea It was closed. If this bastard isn’t prosecuted there will be some serious fallout
@tomatogoo The woman on the crosswalk walked up to the officer and asked him why he shot him. People who saw it didn’t see any threat to the officer.
@claudia1love You aren’t cowards. The people who slaughtered you and stole your land, who violated their promises were the cowards. Don’t be ashamed for something that isn’t your fault
