In New Richmond, Ohio, a police officer is being praised for holding his fire even as a slaying suspect charged him, saying repeatedly, "shoot me."
The bizarre moments were captured Thursday on a body camera worn by New Richmond officer Jesse Kidder.
The video shows Kidder backpedaling and telling 27-year-old Michael Wilcox he doesn't want to shoot him.
Wilcox is charged with killing his 25-year-old girlfriend and is a person of interest in a Kentucky killing. Kidder says dispatchers told him Wilcox could try to force a "suicide by cop" after a chaotic, violent chase.
If suicide really wanted to commit suicide by cop, all he had to do was charge the officer while in black face!
Kidder says a relative gave him the body camera following the deadly officer-involved shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
Wilcox was being held Saturday on $2 million bond. No attorney information was available.

As one of your commenters stated: "its a matter of melanin deficiency". I stated in an earlier post that in Viet Nam, the "gooks" (as our soldiers called the Viet Namese) didn't look like THEM, so it was easy to kill the "gooks". Since most police officers are White, we are perhaps the "gooks" to them. As you said yourself: " It's a sad day in America when the standard for being a good police officer is not shooting anybody when you could have."
ReplyDeleteGreat analogy! I am convinced that most of them see us as the enemy.
