WaEx: Police have released bodycam footage showing an Arizona sheriff’s deputy shooting a man who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
Sgt. Brandon Wells shot Ismail Hamed, 18, outside a police substation in Maricopa County last month after Hamed called 911, telling the operator he had a knife and rocks. “My name is Ismail Hamed,” he said. “I live in Fountain Hills, and I’m owing my allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. I just want a cop to come real quick and I want to deal with them.”
Wells’ body camera shows him approaching Hamed and asking for his ID. Hamed then begins throwing rocks at the officer.
Wells points his gun at Hamed and tells him to back off. “Drop it right now. Drop the knife,” Wells says as Hamed approaches him. “I will shoot you. Drop the knife.” more
I guess i’m old and fucked. I can’t get one of those God Damn videos to play. What the fuck ever, this sounds like suicide by cop. But how would you know.
What the heck took officer so long to neutralize threat?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Hamed survived two shots direct to center mass.
I guess Allah has another purpose for Hamed.
He wanted suicide by cop and couldn’t even manage that. What a screw-up.
Body cameras on police was controversial when implemented but now that they’re commonplace one of the unintended benefits is providing the public with some very satisfying entertainment.
Damned shame, really … shame it didn’t kill him.
izlamo delenda est …
Always use 3 shots….2 to center mass and one to the head.
Let him heal up in Gitmo for the next hundred years!
He is lucky that the cop was a humanitarian.
I would of put two slugs in his head.
Apes sure appear older than their actual age.
Well, Bless his heeart.
I think he needs a bacon sandwich. They always make me feel better when I’m having a bad day.
How do these nut balls evolve in America??? Who is growing and releasing them on us? Is this the new plague?
“I guess Allah has another purpose for Hamed.”
Prison bitch for the converts to the religion of peace….
When someone approaches with a weapon that can kill, the first shot is to the middle of the forehead. Problem solved. A policeman is not supposed to be a social worker with a gun.
Dang, I thought he was gonna get killed. As it is, now we taxpayers have to support his sorry ass.
Those Green New Deal weapons worked great in the seventh century, not so much against a high velocity weapon like a gun. Islamic barbarians never learn.
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” the only thing Obama got right.
“Footage may be disturbing?” Why, I found it to be the Feel Good Hit of the Winter Season!
18? He can’t count ether.
Might be his IQ?
I do like the idea that they just call in and say come and get me.
He survived his wounds? WTF! Now he’s going to cost American taxpayers. Damnit!
Guantanamo is the perfect place for him to spend the remainder of his short days!
Just like the last 3 minutes of “Easy Rider” – I LOVE a happy ending! 😀
I wouldn’t have been as patient as the cop.
Look, it takes time to decide where you’re gonna’ go on vacation while you’re on paid administrative leave.
“hmmm… Cabo would be nice.. but the kids want to go skiing this year.”
I SAID DROP THE KNIFE
“but the kids could hang out on the beach while I go fishing…”
I SAID I’LL SHOOT
“damn… pretty sure the I promised the wife it was skiing this year.”
BLAM! BLAM!
“talk about timing, I think she just sent me a text about the time share…”
BANG,
Nope,
What’s patience mean,,,
We went to the same school together.
