On a serious note - what a fucked situation for the LEO

That kid made a real poor choice, I wonder if it was suicide or just a very braindead course of action

Either way - FAFO in full effect, ,and rightfully so

The level of stupidity in society today is mind boggling, this is one of several comments I saw. To me a hood up is a sign of needing help, much like a helmet placed on the ground behind a motorcycle. Obeying an officer is not optional or multiple choice.

If the dead guy had not committed a crime, or been suspected of committing a crime there was no lawful reason to ask for ID. That is the beginning of the end for the man. It started with an unlawful demand for ID. If the cop would have asked if he needed help, got no for an answer then left he would not have been placed in a position to shoot a man that may or may not have had a gun but was obviously having a bad day that the cop escalated into a fatal shooting of dubious justification. FLAME ON.

This sounds like it's straight from the 1st ammendment auditor handbook

I often hear people say that young people today are no different than they were back "in the day" and that the media and phone cameras as well as body cams just records more of it. I disagree and think the lack of respect, sense of entitlement, and the "I know my rights" BS is off the charts. I believe the increase is due to poor parenting, indoctrination by our "education" system, and social media. There are so many videos of this kind of behavior all over the internet. I'm not talking about to this degree with a weapon but just the attitude.

As far as this particular incident, I think the LEO showed a high level of professionalism, remaining calm and focused. I see so many LEO's getting overly excited and barking out conflicting commands and yelling "fucking" every other word. Granted, these are high stress, life or death situations but train, train , train and you will be better equipped to handle the incident. Like Arnold once said, "You can tell the measure of a man by how reacts in a crisis situation".

I also think he did not need to immediately ask for ID and perhaps should have asked the kid if there was anything he could do to help. At the same time, the kid looked and acted a bit suspicious so he probably would have eventually wanted to ID him anyway or show some proof of ownership of the car.

I've always felt when I'm in a situation like this the Cop is satisfied in his mind that the stop is justified, never had much luck with saying you had no right to pull me over. It's possible it's not a justified stop or asking for ID may not have been the best protocol but without an independent arbitrator to sort it out it's you and him or her.
How the rest of it goes can be up to me and I don't see any gain in arguing outside the courtroom unfortunately.
I was a shit when I was younger and thinking back my attitude set the tone for a bunch of drama I no longer want to have anything to do with.

Pretty sure probable cause came into play when the officer noticed the ignition wires hanging out. Officer kept his cool did not escalate the situation.

Exactly. As soon as he said that, he had to verify identity and ownership of the vehicle. I was waiting to hear his radio come back with the car being stolen.

He was absolutely justified to request ID once there was reasonable suspicion that a crime was occurring or had occurred, as mentioned. Suspicion that the vehicle was stolen. There are plenty of articulable facts that justify his request.

I don't think there is any such think as an unlawful request for ID when a person is operating a motor vehicle. Pretty sure it is a requirement of any state to produce it when asked.

Another illustration of poor tactics, he’s lucky to be alive who approaches a car with blackout windows with your radio on your left hand and your flashlight in your right hand how many gun hands does that leave for you to use?

The dead guy was Michael Anthony Estrada. 30 years old. In 2017 he threatened to shoot children at his former Elementary school. He was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for it.

This guy was a scum bag! At 30 he stole a car and he wanted to play a tough guy and fortunately he lost.

Car Wash owner probably called the police with activity like the thug was up to.

We rolled into the coin Op Car wash in Sedona in the Can AM covered with mud. Thick and sticky.
I told the wife; "the owner will roll up here in minutes".
The wife: "How do you know" as the car wash owner rolled up.

Owner got out of his truck and asked that when I "was done if I'd wash all the mud off the deck and leave the stall as clean as my wifes kitchen."

Many owners watch their business from home on their security cameras, or on their cell phones.

That was kind of my thought in the beginning as well. Also I don't like the positioning of his car. Shit goes sideways leave them no room for cover. In my opinion he should have pulled up from the rear of the car and spotlighted it

That made me anxious as well. Keep your gun hand clear, always. One of the things that was drilled into our heads from day one in the academy.

Ummm Excuse me sir. Using the tactical light that is mounted on the gun to illuminate an area is just not allowed... so you need an administrative light... I wish I was kidding.

I couldn't agree more. The use of the radio in the manner he was displaying, is the DUMBEST fucking thing ever. I see guys doing it because they think it looks "Cool," or because their buddy at another agency does it. Holding that brick in your hand takes that hand out of the equation, leaving you only one hand to use for multiple tasks, such as utilizing your firearm if necessary.

If he knew that car was stolen prior to his approach, then that too was a pretty stupid decision. Instead, put yourself in a safe position and wait for additional officers. What's the rush? Now if he approached the vehicle and THEN found out the car was stolen, well, that's a different situation. At that point, position yourself as safely as possible and wait for additional resources.

He made some critical mistakes that could have cost him, but he got lucky. He was definitely cool, calm and collected with his radio transmissions. I'll give him props for that.

From what I can see in the video, the officer walks up and there are wires coming out from under the hood. As soon as the door opens, we don't get the greatest look, but the officer may very well have been able to see the broken steering column. The perp talks about how his ignition switch is broken just about 1:09 in. Sounds like a stolen car to me. Maybe the officer saw more than I can see in the video. Seems like probable cause to me.
