Utah Cops Were Really Close To Taking Out A 4 Year Old Shooter!
Utah man told his child to shoot cops.
A man is facing child endangerment charges after his 4-year old child shot at police in Utah. The cops were really close to using deadly force on the man and his children.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
It all started from a dispute over a fast food order that was wrong. The man threatened workers with a gun and they called the law. The law apprehended the man. The child would soon reach into the man's vehicle counsel and pull out his gun and opened fire on the cops after they arrested the man.
The Unified Police Department release body camera footage of the encounter. It happened at the Midvale McDonald's drive-thru.
The 12-minute video shows the moments leading up to the arrest of 27-year-old asshole on as well as what took place after one of his children shot at police at the drive-thru.
The department initially responded to the McDonald’s on February 21 around 1:30 p.m. when employees reported that a man brandished a gun in the drive-thru after his order was incorrect.
Employees asked the asshole to pull to the front of the restaurant after reporting the incident to the police.
The asshole had two children in the car at the time, a 4-year-old and a 3-year-old.
Officers issued several commands for the asshole to get out of the car, but he was non-compliant. Police then opened the asshole’s front driver’s door, pulling him out.
As officers were trying to take asshole into custody, an officer who turned around saw a gun pointing out of the back window screaming “gun,” moments before the 4-year-old fired at officers.
The officer used his hand to sweep the gun away and the gun went off, hitting the upper part of the McDonald’s building. The officer then yelled at the person inside of the car to drop the gun, and after looking inside the car, realized that it was a small child.
The children can be heard crying after the incident as officers ushered them out of the car and away from the scene.
The child fires the gun as they arrest the man.
The asshole was later charged in early March with child abuse, aggravated assault, and interference with an arresting officer after police.
The 4-year-old told police that he picked up the gun because “he wanted his daddy back,” charging records show. The child also told police that the asshole said, “the police officer cannot open the door,” during the altercation.
After being arrested, the asshole told police that he “blacked out” for 30 seconds after he and the McDonald’s employee were arguing over his order. The asshole also denied brandishing the gun in front of the worker, despite surveillance video showing him doing so, court records state.
The asshole also told police that this wasn’t the first time his 4-year-old child had gotten his hands on a gun.
The child's mother and estranged wife of this asshole was pretty pissed off. Not only for the fact that the law could have killed her child but the fact the asshole has let the child use a firearm.
She said that her child is mentally scarred from this and she plans to take the children to Atlanta once the Utah Department of Family Services decides on the children's fate.
Most deadly encounters with firearms involve children. Many children are killed or seriously injured playing with a gun.
Police credit staff for notifying them. The law also credits its officers for not killing the man and his children after they took gunfire.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3 (risk his/her life to stop the shooter). The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
Asshole's wife said that her children are scarred from this.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
