Patrick Warren’s family ‘looking for answers’ in fatal police shooting

42 thoughts on “Patrick Warren’s family ‘looking for answers’ in fatal police shooting”

1. Just because a person is having mental issue they still cannot attack officers they can pose a very serious threat

2. No excuse for sending just one officer on a mental health call. That leaves few options if things go bad. Institutional failure.

3. Calling the police is the worst call anyone can make. Which is better justification regarding cops shooting black people, incarceration or lawsuit?

4. Sleepy Joe and his Demorats have done so much to help the cause of Black Lives Matter and justice for people killed by Police.

5. He is definitely a threat. Wasn't listening to the police or his family. Crazy people are strong and they are vicious. The cop was in danger. Black lives matter needs to stand down. These loons need to be institutionalized.

6. BLM is the only solution, dont stop until you can overthrow this corrupted government

7. Lord help us every step of the way! Prayers to the family🙏

8. Why is the son lying? The bodycam footage is different and unedited. I feel this family's pain but they have to be honest, especially in front of the media. The son is not mentioning the officer only knocked once and he is not mentioning the officer used a taser with little effect. The gun was the last result when Mr. Warren was right up on him. I hate to say it but it feels like this family and lawyer are looking for a payout. This very similar to the case in Philadelphia this summer. I guess the family feels the officer should have engaged in physical combat and not used his taser and as a last resort his gun

9. RIP Patrick Warren! I pray that he'll get justice! Very sad!

10. There must be another method to physically control a person going through a mental episode aside from bullets and tazer guns. The cop responded to the call not knowing his presence won't solve the problem, instead his presence made things worse. Based on this video, this officer tried to avoid getting hurt and deadly force was his only option for him to use. Whether this shooting is found to be justified or not, police must come up with another tool to safely protect themselves, the public, and most importantly individuals going through a mental crisis. Very sad.

11. Very sad.

12. After I’m seeing this I will never call police on my son who has a mental illness unbelievable what’s wrong with stupid police

13. Praying for the family.

14. The way the son is telling the story is all wrong. We all seen the video & you can tell from the jump the officer was trying to talk NORMAL. Yes the dad was inviting him in but it was ( AGGRESSIVE ) and growld at the office.. so please tell me who was hostile? Forgot about all this color stuff for a minute speak FACTS. I'm a black man but I'm not a YES man if I see something wrong I'm going to tell the truth. The cop used a taser as he should have when most would have just shot to begin with. The taser obviously had no affect & he started to charge the officer so from there he used lethal action. Mental or not who in their right mind is going to let someone charge them aggressively with no action. YES I believe the officer could have handled it better by maybe waiting for backup and whoever the family talk with on the phone should have let them known the professional to deal with that type of situation wasn't available. But don't talk like it wasn't faults on both sides because if he would have grabbed the cops gun and shot him then people would be calling him all types of stuff so analyze the situation before you come here and comment b.s

15. Imagine we didn't have cameras people still don't care

16. Wtf this is so crazy. Wtf

17. Never seen a news channel lie about a horrible situation more in my life

18. NEVER CALL THE POLICE IF YOU ARE BLACK IN AMERICA….they shoot to kill not help.

19. Lesson to be learned here ppl never call pigs for help!!! They only kills innocent ppl fucking PIGS!!!!

20. This needs to go viral, so the world can see what is happening, these police officers are getting out of hand

21. Oh my heart hurts for this family!! May God give you strength.

22. Charged at the cop. The copbtased him it worked. Then the barb came out. Warren kept charging at the cop
    The cop told him he was going to shoot. Then he did shoot him.

23. 🙁

24. Let this be a lesson to all who call 911 and the police department on people in mental health crisis. Do NOT call the police. I KNOW exactly what happens. You are treated horribly. First, you are handcuffed and then stripped of your clothes. All rights are taken away. Policeman should never attempt to take anyone like this out of their home!!!! There is still a stigma when it comes to mental health. It is a disgrace that a system to handle mental health crisis is not mandated and followed.

25. The son is so poised. Between grief and anger, I could not be so composed in giving an interview so soon after my father's death. Hopefully, based on this, police departments will see the need for offering crisis intervention training to ALL officers. I am proud to be a part of speaking to officers in GA about what it is like to be in mental health crisis and recovery. This inspires me to continue the work I do in hopes of sparing loved ones from having to suffer through what this family is going through.

26. once Injustice System allow cowardice for murder – cop will NOT go hands on

27. Hey Mr Police Officer so you Shot an Unarmed man Three Times Center Mass and now You Pray for him, Ok now LET'S All Pray for Your disQuieting Ass…amen🏵😒😳😉

28. Black America stop calling these race solders to come take your life!

29. Bad cop? the family did nothing to stop the dad on lawn physically.
    I watched the bodycam, it was distressing he was obviously in a bad mental state but at his size the cop had little choice but to shoot. If he had raged on someone in public or on his family he could have really hurt someone. The man left his property in attack. Mental health is a challenge whatever country you are in the son should watch the concern of the cop and that the dad came out to confront him it was the father's aggression that escalated it. Cops are not punching bags or councillors.

30. Never call the police when you have a loved one in distress…pigs they can't be trusted

31. So sad. The cop didn’t care and his actions showed that.

32. Wow….that’s really sad 😢

33. Anyone that agrees with this should see the whole video because that dude did not tell what really happened 🤔

34. I am devastated. I knew Patrick and his family for years, because they used to go to the same church. He was a great man of the Lord. At least I know he is in a better place now.

35. Looks justified sorry for the families loss but this man was acting like a maniac

36. Such a sad situation. I feel very bad for the family, but after watching the body footage and seeing the man rushing at the cop. The cop was by himself and already deployed his taser I don't really know what else he could of done.

37. Am trying to figure out why they called the police in the first place

38. The cop tried to avoid deadly conflict. First he waits outside. When Patrick comes outside, he starts marching towards the cop who then backs up. After repeated warnings the Taser is used. All this time, none of the occupants of the house even bothered to come out and help. If Patrick wasn't being violent, then why didn't they themselves help out? Why did they even have to call the cops? When Patrick was tasered, the people should have came out and help as the next step in the escalation process is violent force.

39. The son is lying. The bodycam tells a totally different story…

40. Cops just like killing people. Its easier to shoot and kill than to actually help.

41. "Will your family be pressing charges"?
    "Of course, that's why we called the cops, we want that bread".

42. Why is this family lying, it's on video.
