when you read and watch stuff like this you wonder why 'our free press' and politicians can call cops 'heroes' and not identify them as they frequently are in real life;

Lake Havasu City, AZ — Earlier this month a trigger happy cop nearly killed his fellow officer while shooting an unarmed man who was wanted on warrants over a traffic stop. The body camera footage was just released this week highlighting the danger of the “feared for my life” mentality and the lack of restraint when using deadly force.

Though  Lake Havasu City police wouldn’t say on what charges 29-year-old Steven Douglas was wanted, according to court records, he was wanted on charges of Unlawful Flight From Pursuing Law Enforcement Vehicle. These charges, which were both filed on August 19, were filed alongside misdemeanor charges for Reckless Driving and Failure to Obey A Police Officer.

In other words, he fled from a traffic stop.

Douglas was not considered armed and dangerous at all, yet Sergeant Brian Jacobs, a 13-year veteran of LHCPD, approached Jacobs with his gun drawn when he was spotted at a local Hobby Lobby.

When Jacobs sees a gun pointed in his face, he takes off running and is stopped on the next aisle by another officer. Jacobs never attacked the other officer and was merely trying to run away but he could not.

Jacobs, as he still has his gun trained on Douglas, yells at the unarmed man to “drop it” several times. Though police admitted Douglas was unarmed, they wouldn’t release details on the object in Douglas’ hand, but it appeared to be a cellphone in the video, and he certainly dropped it.

After yelling “drop it” once more, Jacobs opened fire inside the store with his partner directly in his line of sight. Luckily for his partner, the bullet did not go through Douglas, who was struck in the abdomen.........read and watch more......
