http://www.wbtv.com/story/35230869/police-video-shows-officer-press-gun-to-unarmed-mans-head-threaten-to-kill-him

Several minutes into the chase, the video shows the first officer chasing Yarborough fall down in pain, apparently injured somehow during the foot chase.

A second officer’s body camera picks up the pursuit, showing the moments when Yarborough is captured and brought to the ground before the four-minute-long struggle ensues.

“I will kill you”

The second officer’s body camera video shows Yarborough on the ground for 17 seconds before an officer pulls out his pistol and presses it to Yarborough’s temple on the left side of his head.

“Don’t [expletive] resist,” one officer says to Yarborough seconds before the weapon appears in the video.

Once the gun is pressed to Yarborough’s head, an officer is heard saying “I will kill you, you understand? Give me your hand, now!”


Yarborough said he thought, in that moment, he may die.

“That moment felt like—it felt like it might have been my last day,” Yarborough said.

The gun only appears in the video for roughly ten seconds before the officers puts it away and calls for another officer to use a Taser to shock Yarborough.

“Light him up, he don’t want to do it,” an officer is heard saying of Yarborough refusing to put his hands behind his back.

At that point in the video—roughly 37 seconds after Yarborough had been brought to the ground—he is laying on the ground with both arms extended in front of him with what appear to be several officers on top of him.

That’s when you hear an officer say “light him up!” and then, about ten seconds later, the sound of a Taser

That shit is fucked and I don't care if he ran. No reason to murder or threaten to murder someone.

please don't be black...
dammit

Looks like the guy was a criminal, still though excessive force.

The dude deserved to be booked by the sounds of it, he ran and had a rather large record, but not the way it went down...

Fair, next.

Don't run from cops. Don't resist arrest when they catch you.

An officer holding a loaded weapon to his head and saying he's going to kill him is never ok. He's dumb for running. That does not justify how that cop acted.

If the guy was in cuffs and under control I would take issue with this, but I don't think trying to physically intimidate a resisting perp into following orders is that big of a deal. Wah wah, he was scared, that's kind of the point. Obviously the officer wasn't really going to kill him, because when the guy kept resisting they tased him.

I don't know if he deserved it or not, but I don't think they would react like this for absolutely no reason whatsoever

Sure it does. It's not like he actually shot the guy.

He probably did that in case the guy tried to get back up and attack or take the gun. Once he saw the other cops had him held down, he put the gun away.

If a guy is already running from police and resisting arrest, how is a cop to know how violent the guy will get?

I really don't get why so many people are quick to defend blatantly criminal behavior.

Generally if cops aren't using pillows then it's considered excessive force on CE

FYI to the nutsuckers here: COPS are NEVER trained to do THIS. NEVER are they trained to put a gun to a perps head and threaten them.

This dude is rogue and a cancer to the force.

Stop defending shit

Guy was resisting. Police have no choice sometimes. You can't know because, their job is hard and split second choices.

You can't threaten to murder a civilian for resisting. He should have broke his arms or something, theres wrist and arm locks that are easy to apply.
