Nice cop but I hate when Officers talk ghetto with people it sounds so unprofessional. You're an educated Cop not a gang member. That said, It's a happy ending, bad guy dead as he should be. Officers safe. Officers probably saved somebody's life by taking his.
looks like a happy ending to me. Rabid animal = dead. Polite and professional LEO's = safe & sound. Society = better off. It's a win all the way around.
People in comments are so callous and blinded by blue. Of course it was justified. Unless they as well were guilty of similar crimes leave family alone. You know damn well that even if you KNEW it was justified everyone would mourn if someone they knew and cared for was killed. Though maybe not since so many seem like just the most "silent" psychopaths, commenting hate they likely never would say out loud. Accountability is one thing, baseless berating of affiliates or even the body post mortem is just weird. Very voyeuristic. Yes I too am here but I fail to find the sheer bliss so many seem to see in these, even outside the deceased one might think those so seemingly taken to defend or bolster the arresting force could possibly see that these events likely effect the shooter as well. All praise but nobody seems to truly appreciate the possibility of a ripple effect which often likely harms are party's.
Bodycams give officers incentive to be more cool, but since criminals are used to lying to everyone and then robbing them afterwards… they'll automatically assume that anyone talking kindly is going to backstab them too like they've done so themselves to their own victims before. Who you are as a person creates your reality… so if you're evil, you'll always assume everyone else is evil towards you too. It's crazy how they'll try to shoot you even if they know they won't make it out alive, all they care about is feeding their spite and hate towards you before they die. Life must really suck if you're willing to get killed over nothing.
I think that that boy needed to have some common sense drilled into his head long before these police officers pulled him over. Well, at least now he don't have to get his addressee changed on his driver's license now do he? Anyhow, just like big fish eat the little fish he was smokin' a cigarette and the cops were smokin' him. All in all things seem to have a way of workin' themselves out, just like in this case. I wonder what is to become of that sweet Impala he was a driving? Those Louisiana State Police people seem to be a nice enough bunch, until you cross 'em that is. If you ask me I think that that boy should have just got out of his car when aksed nicely to do so, and with out a gun in his hand. Oh well…
Glad he was never able to use it Ana the officers weren’t hurt and took out the threat doesn’t shock me what race the dude was and if “BLM” will come out and say it was racial and he was innocent
If you feel you're being treated unfairly the only place to fight with the cops is in a court room, not on the side of the road. Comply with their requests and then speak to an attorney. If you have an illegally modified handgun then I guess your choices are more limited. Glad to see all the officers made it home that evening but unfortunate they had to go through what they did.
These officers executed this young Black Man ….. Viscotti spoke to him like a Dog ….. This was a Pre textual Stop looking for Trouble…They Murdered him for Changing lanes FFS It's my view they wanted to Kidnap & steal this man's Car … Public request for Information on the Whereabouts of the officers Involved in this Murder …. The Gun was Planted on the Body of this unfortunate young American ….
Dude smoking a blunt, staring at his phone and got a fully automatic 9 mm in his wasteband and resisted arrest. What could possibly go wrong?? 😂😂😂Waiting for BLM to protest this one too!😅😅😅
Maybe it's time for "Law Enforcement" to stop FORCING people out their car for one. Seems like this 'tactic' is creating more problems than helping don't you think?
Why do we only see those incidents where the Officers just happen to do the right thing?!? How come we don't see when the Officers do the Unlawful thing when it happens more times than not!?! You can fool most of the People, but I know why. Because most Police are Liars!
keepinga 30 year old b body from bubbling around instead of keeping center in lane is difficult when the car weighs over 4 ton. Requires good amount of maintenance to keep the suspensuon/alignment right. Also these cars are police targets because they are eye soars. Not too many are around
Well, you learn something new everyday….I didn’t know they could require you to get out your car without any reason. That seems a little odd to me. Why did the officer want him to get out of the car?? I would understand if they were told through their radios he had a warrant or something, but no mention of this in the video. Anyways, I’m glad all the officers got to go home safely and now there’s one less criminal out on the streets.

Female officer didn’t seem very helpful

And the world is less dark. Thank you for taking out the trash Officers
Why did he need to get out tho? Makes zero sense. Write the ticket and be on your way
I could say there’s a heaven for a gangsta but we all know that’s a lie

You can't fix STUPID!!!!!! He wanted to die…. He made his own choice… Sorry about his FU*CKING LUCK!!!!!! He got what he deserved
It's people like this in the car is why regular people want to have guns because guys like this.
Quick action by the officer saved lives. There is only one reason for him to have a gun
Time to bring on the riots

Low IQ sociopath/psychopaths are everywhere in this country. Our inner cities are full of them. It's unbelievable.

But ANYWAYS!! Officer Simmons fine asf tho😊

This could have been way different if he got that glock with a switch going. Thank God.
I'm glad this criminal thug was killed-and its sad there are so many more just like him in their culture. Great work by the police.

He was in community college. He was turning his life around.
He had hair like Crusty the Clown.
