I couldn’t get the video to play, so understand that I am not supporting the cops in this incident.
My advice to people in dealing with police is have your hands empty and away from your body, don’t argue, do what the police tell you to do.
Survive the incident and let the lawyer argue it out in a safe environment.
No matter how wrong the police are, the street is not the place to try and solve it, you will lose.

Yoni- try this link, sir.
The Sheriff needs to be fired for the press release.
EVERY officer that shot, needs to be removed from the department and charged with assault in the first degree, which is assault with the intent to kill.
The more I think about this the more I cannot figure out the mental gymnastics needed to go from “disturbance, possible shots fired” to “no one is answering the door” to “OMG we have a hostage situation! Call in the SWAT team!”. And if they thought it was a hostage situation how did they know the guy they just shot wasn’t the hostage? Honestly I’ve responded to a lot of shots fired calls and most of the time we’d get there and find absolutely nothing.
Wondering if they thought their robot he was carrying with the light on was a gun? Never dropped his cigarette, even after being shot.
Wtf was the purpose of the robot?
Did they knock first? The whole situation seems wierd
Something something standing army something …
Hence the term “cuckservatives.”
So glad I left.
What all occurred at the scene from 11pm when the police reportedly first arrived till the Indian reservation SWAT shooting at 5am?
Looks like possibly someone thought the police robot in the suspects hand was a gun. How many shots was that? I see one hit. And notice that the suspect didn’t even drop his cigarette after being hit in the torso with I’m guessing a .223/556.
You can see rounds going through the wall and curtain. Absolute miracle of bad shooting that he was hit just once and the wife not at all.
Here is the official police statement.

Wow, sure isn’t what the video shows.
I’m not getting shot over bullshit like, “There’s the way it ought and there’s the way it is”. I do not disagree with you.
Evidently it was Tribal Police who shot. How does this work if it’s on the Res? If that’s an Indian they shot, isn’t it all in Tribal hands now? I don’t live near any Res.
I would love to know what they told the judge in order to get the warrant. How did they recognize there was an armed individual and possible hostage?
I wonder if the robot controller relayed to everyone that “someone has picked up the robot”?
Wasn’t anyone watching the feed from the robot that showed the couple being woken up and confused by the robot? Did the robot have audio?
Considering their narration for the video is “The suspected shooter engaged in a verbal altercation with officers and emerged from a camper trailer and confronted officers” it would seem likely they will see something in the hands including the hands of a bilateral arm amputee.
Pretty sure the narration was “after the fact.” The goal is to avoid an “after the fact” result.
