Police Encounter with Armed Suspect

This your car, sir?

Offi- officer. Oh, God.

Don't do that.

No, no, no.

Don't move.

I just dropped my phone. I just dropped my phone.

Move away from the car, nice and slow.

I can't. I can't move.

I'm warning you, move away from the damn car.

I can't do that. Officer, officer, officer, officer. My name

is Franklin Roberts.

I got fourth stage prostate cancer, and the pain in my back won't allow me to

move.

Just very carefully. See, look there. And my phone...

If you could come around here, you could see. Yes.

You can see. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. This is gonna, this

is gonna be okay.

Now, am I, see my hands? They're not moving.

I, I'm gonna keep them very still and, and they're away from my pockets.

Officer, I, I need you to help me, okay? I'm gonna stay, I'm gonna be real still.

I need you to help me get up, okay? Nothing frightening

here. Nothing at all, okay? You see my hands.

Gently, slowly, put your gun away. You can help me.

Phone is underneath there. There's no gun there. That's a phone.

You see my hands. Thank you.

Get a hold of me under my arms. Thank you. That's right. Good, good, good.

Okay, okay. You got me? Okay. Ah, ah, ah, ah.

It's hot, it's hot, it's hot.

I got you.

Thank you, my... This is a good Samaritan. One more favor.

I c- I can't get my phone. If I go back down there,

I'll never get back up.

I'm gonna turn over here. I'm gonna turn over here. Look,

look at my hands. Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Sir, I need to see your hands right now.

Oh, you wanna see my hands?

Show me your hands.

There's my hands.

Just- just- just-

Hey, drop the gun.

You think I'm a coward? Drop the gun right now.

Put it on the ground.

Call 911.

Drop it. Don't do it.

As per protocol, you'll be placed on administrative duty.

Three tours. I got it, Sarge. Look, I appreciate the hand-holding,

but I'd like to

get my interview with the shooting team over with, if that's okay.

No, it's not okay. The next step is you go to the hospital

and get checked out for

trauma.

It's not necessary, Sarge. I didn't do anything wrong.

He didn't give me a choice.

How big a hero is my kid brother for taking him out?

Name is Gavin Bryant. Swanky address, no criminal record.

Really? Well, I don't think his gun shoots gumdrops

and lollipops.

He had a fully loaded magazine, but nothing in the chamber.

Gun is clean as a whistle. It doesn't look like it's been fired

recently.

Well, just because he didn't fire it doesn't

mean he didn't use it to commit a

crime.

Commissioner, can you confirm the rumor

that the officer involved was your son?

I understand the gunman didn't fire a single shot.

Why didn't your son just tase him?

Well, he was a man with a gun and lives were at stake.

Did your son even try to shoot the gun out of his hand?

The officer in question was adhering to department policy.

That is, to use deadly physical force when the situation requires,

which it did in this instance. And all my officers are trained

to shoot until the threat is eliminated, not to kill.

So the problem was your son is too good a shot?

Let's just say that the gunman wasn't aiming at a group of

schoolchildren, but at you. You have a second before he pulls the

trigger.

What do you do?

Well, first of all-

Too late, you're dead.
