The subject was later identified as 38-year-old Dylan Flamino >> right here. Anybody else in the house besides him? >> Okay. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Yep. Mhm. >> What's your dad's name? >> Okay. >> Shortly after deputies arrived, Flamino came out through a side gate of the residence holding a knife. Deputies immediately ordered him to stop and get on the ground, but he refused to comply and kept moving toward them. >> Bring the stumbag. STUMBAG. DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE. DROP THE KNIFE. >> DROP THE KNIFE. DROP THE KNIFE. GOING AWAY. >> WITH the knife still in hand, Flamino charged directly at one of the deputies, leaving no time for further negotiation.

Deputies immediately rendered medical aid until Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel arrived and took over. >> Hey, hey, hey. Get a [ __ ] Get a [ __ ] >> DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE. DROP THE KNIFE. DROP THE KNIFE. DROP THE KNIFE. THROW IT AWAY. THROW IT AWAY. THROW IT AWAY. THROW IT AWAY. ROLL AWAY. >> Flamino was transported to a local hospital enlisted in stable condition. A knife with an approximately 3-in metal blade was recovered at the scene. No deputies or bystanders were injured during the incident. When someone chooses to move toward danger instead of stepping back, the outcome is rarely the one anyone hoped for. >> Hands up. Hands behind your back. >> We're on the hands back. >> Give me your other hand. Give me your hand. Put your other hand. >> Give me your hand. Get on the ground. Tase him. tas him. >> On June 7th, 2026, at approximately 5:58 p.m. in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, a caller reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office that 22-year-old Keon Atinson had pointed a handgun at a victim during a domestic dispute. Officers arrived and learned that Atinson, who was living in a shed on the property, had come outside and threatened the victim with the weapon. >> Hey, what's up? >> Okay. >> I didn't hear nothing. >> Okay. And we didn't >> I tell him what's up and I went in. >> Okay, that's fine. >> We had to figure that out. >> Okay, do not reach for anything. >> Some [ __ ] go down. >> Okay, let's not have that happen. >> All right, >> I need to go back. >> Okay, >> my game. >> Okay, >> so at this point, here's what we're going to do, right? >> Let's go here. Let's go. >> No, no, no. Oh, cover. >> Officers located Atinson inside the shed and gave loud verbal commands for her to come out. She exited and argued aggressively with officers while repeatedly reaching toward her jacket pocket and making statements threatening to shoot first. At one point, she ran from the backyard toward the street, pointing the gun directly at the victim. >> Get on the ground now. >> What are you doing? >> We don't want to be there. >> We do not want to hurt you. Okay. >> I got to get on the ground. >> Why? I didn't do that. >> Keon, get on the ground. Tase him. Tase him. >> Out on the street, officers ordered Atinson to get on the ground, but she ignored them. An officer deployed a taser, striking her, but Atinson still managed to pull out her gun and fire around at the officers. Officers Iazy and Len returned fire, striking Atinson multiple times. She fell to the ground and attempted to reach for her weapon before officers moved in and took her into custody. Stop it. Stop it. Drop. Drop the gun. Drop the gun. >> Nope. Stop. >> Dead. People dead. >> Yeah. >> Atkinson, who is biologically female and transitioning to male, was given emergency medical aid at the scene. She was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on a person 65 years of age or older and three counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. No officers or bystanders were injured. Threatening to shoot first is never just words. And this case made that clear in the most serious way possible. >> I'm fine. I don't know if you shot or not. He was trying to quit. >> Yeah. >> Officer hand. >> On April 10th, 2025 at approximately 5:40 a.m. in Pima County, south of Tucson, Arizona, USA. An emergency call came in reporting that a man had shot his daughter inside a home on the 1,000 block of East Fenley Drive. The caller identified himself as 23-year-old Axile Melendez and claimed his father had fired the shot. Deputies from the Puma County Sheriff's Department responded immediately believing there were injured victims trapped inside. >> He was inside the house and he he saw my sister. I ran inside the room and locked me up inside. >> Okay. Okay. What is What is your father's name? >> I'm panicking. >> That's That's okay. Just talk to me. Okay. What is your What is your father's name? Deputies announced themselves repeatedly at the front door, but received no response. They moved to the back of the house and tried another entrance, again without success. With no answer from inside and fearing for the safety of possible victims, deputies made the decision to force entry by breaking a rear bedroom window with a shovel. >> Sheriff, sheriff's department. Sheriff's Department. >> As deputies climbed through the window while continuing to identify themselves, they encountered Melendez standing near a doorway inside holding a handgun. Two deputies immediately discharged their weapons, striking Melendez. He survived and was transported to a local hospital. Three deputies also sustained minor injuries during the entry, unrelated to gunfire. Investigators later determined the original emergency call was likely a hoax, a so-called swatting incident, and that Melendez was probably not the one who placed it. The bedroom window was destroyed during forced entry. A swatting call might feel like a prank to whoever makes it, but for everyone who responds, it is anything but. >> Dude, you're going to get shot. On April treacherenti venti quattro at dichi tranto minudia punto m in salmon creek Washington USA Clark County Sheriff's office deputies responded to a reported carjacking on the 9,200 block of northeast 15th Avenue in Hazel.

Deputies set up a containment area and located the stolen van behind the American Legion building on Northeast 20th Avenue. They observed the male suspect, later identified as 41-year-old Benjamin Woods of Prineville, Oregon, enter the building. >> Max, here. >> Dude, dude, you're going to get shot. >> Deputies followed Woods inside and as they reached the bathroom vestibule, Woods emerged from the men's room, pointing a small revolver directly at the officers. Multiple deputies opened fire and Woods dropped to his knees, having been struck several times. The revolver was found on the floor behind him. Despite emergency aid rendered on scene, Woods was pronounced deceased when ambulance crew arrived. Don't move. Don't move. >> No deputies or bystanders were injured in the shooting. Four deputies were placed on critical incident leave per standard protocol. The stolen van was recovered, but the female suspect remained at large at the time of the investigation. Two carjackings in one morning, and a choice made it a bathroom doorway that could not be undone. Let's get these folks out of here. Up here. Okay. On May 10th, 2026, at approximately 12:40 a.m., a Florida Highway Patrol trooper observed a vehicle traveling northbound on Interstate 75 in Florida, USA at 103 mph in a posted 70 mph zone. When the trooper activated lights and sirens to initiate a stop, the driver refused and accelerated away. 231. The pursuit continued as the driver moved onto southbound US Route 301.

You thought the sheriff's office was just letting go. On November 29th, 2025, at approximately 2:49 p.m., a South Carolina state trooper clocked a gray SUV traveling at 81 mph in a 65 mph zone on South Carolina Highway 31, USA. The driver refused to stop and led officers on a pursuit through multiple roads, eventually coming to a stop before fleeing again northbound on Secondary Road 31. We got the runway clear.

As the suspect approached the location where Corporal Doure was ready to deploy the sticks, the driver suddenly swerved toward Corporal Doure in an apparent attempt to strike him. Corporal Doure jumped over a guardrail to avoid being hit and drew his weapon. >> He's driving backwards. I'm just trying to hit people out. >> Take him out. The state trooper immediately rammed the suspect's vehicle to disable it. After witnessing the deliberate attempt on Corporal Dozier, the suspect reversed and fled again before Corporal Lane attempted a tactical vehicle intervention. The trooper struck the vehicle a second time, forcing both vehicles off the road into a ditch. >> GET OUT. GET YOUR HANDS OFF. STAY IN THE VEHICLE. STAY IN THE CAR. >> You got him. You got him. Yeah. >> I'm going to go clear the car. >> STAY IN THE CAR. GET DOWN. >> THE SUSPECT fled on foot, but was tackled and taken into custody shortly after. The suspect was treated at Grand Strand Regional Hospital for minor injuries before being booked at the detention center. Both the trooper patrol vehicle and the suspect's SUV sustained damage from the repeated collisions. The suspect was charged with speeding, operating uninsured, improper tag, failure to stop, and held for warrants of attempted murder, and resisting arrest. He was also wanted by the Horry County Sheriff's Office, and probation and parole. Trying to use a vehicle as a weapon against an officer is a decision that tends to end only one way. Got his blood on my hand. 1050. >> On February 5th, 2023, at approximately 7:55 p.m., a Georgia State Patrol trooper stopped at a traffic signal on the ramp from Interstate 75 and 85 South to University Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and observed a black GMC Yukon run a red light. When the trooper activated emergency equipment to conduct a stop, the driver refused and sped away, initiating a pursuit 1050. 52. >> The vehicle traveled south on Interstate 75 and 85 before exiting onto Cleveland Avenue and turning onto the ramp toward Interstate 75 north. While on the ramp, the fleeing vehicle struck the rear bumper of another car. The driver and passengers then abandoned the Yukon and fled the scene on foot. The trooper stayed at the crash scene to render aid to the occupants of the vehicle that was struck. Atlanta Police Department Aviation Unit assisted in locating the driver and a passenger hiding in a nearby wooded area and both were taken into custody without further incident. The driver, Troy Shawn Jared Porter, born in 2002, was transported to Fulton County Sheriff's Department and charged with failure to obey traffic control device, failure to yield to emergency vehicle, felony fleeing, reckless driving, improper passing, following too closely hit and run, and obstruction. The passenger was released without charges. Away from the crash scene, a black Glock 22 semi-automatic pistol fitted with a full auto switch, a damaged magazine, and 13 rounds of ammunition were recovered as found property. No damage was reported to the patrol vehicle. A chase that started with a red light ended with a hidden weapon and a criminal record that will follow one young man for a very long time. Jacob really here. I have no idea. Let me swing. I am out of March 8th, 2025 in St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, Florida Highway Patrol troopers received intelligence about a known drug trafficking suspect traveling on Interstate 275. Troopers moved in to initiate a traffic stop on the vehicle, but the driver immediately fled, triggering a pursuit. to give you. One of the troopers quickly executed a precision immobilization technique maneuver, causing the vehicle to crash and become disabled before the pursuit could extend further. The suspect's car came to a stop, but the confrontation was far from over. >> Oh man. As troopers approached the disabled vehicle, the suspect reached for a loaded 10M Smith and Wesson handgun. One trooper immediately kicked the weapon out of his reach before he could gain control of it. The suspect was then taken into custody without further resistance. The suspect was charged with multiple drug offenses as well as fleeing and eluding law enforcement. The loaded Smith and Wesson handgun along with the drugs found in the vehicle were seized as evidence. Sometimes the fastest way to make things worse is to run from the very people who already know exactly who you are. 1050 1050. >> On September 15th, 2024 in St. Charles, Missouri, USA, Officer Brown noticed a Ford Escape traveling without a front license plate and with an illegally tinted windshield. He attempted a traffic stop, expecting what could have been a simple citation, but the driver had other plans. Within seconds, the vehicle accelerated away, setting the stage for a dangerous pursuit. 2122 >> mobile lane six young train Paul 09 >> fail you >> your direction >> two freedoms it's like a darker green color >> he's clear with the charges traffic at for escape.

During the encounter, officers discovered a loaded handgun concealed in the suspect's waistband. A passenger who had remained inside the vehicle was also detained as officers secured the scene and ensured there were no additional threats. you down. >> Your stomach. >> Help me out. Help me out. Look at me. Look at me. >> Come on. Wait a minute. Let me get my Stop, dude. Let me >> I'm not Come on.

Put your arm behind your head. >> Gun. Gun. >> Gun. Gun. >> The suspect was ultimately taken into custody without further incident, bringing the pursuit to a close. Looking back, the case serves as another reminder that even minor traffic violations can escalate unexpectedly when someone chooses to flee instead of cooperate. In many cases, a brief stop and a simple conversation could prevent a chain of events that places officers, drivers, and innocent bystanders at unnecessary risk. Pull your feet. You want to go shoot. Pull your feet up. >> We'll bring your shoes. >> No. Pull your feet. Hey, you want EMS? No. >> Do you fix my radio? Yeah. >> On October 6th, 2023, at approximately 8:46 p.m. in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Georgia State Patrol troopers began following a reported stolen 2014 GMC Acadia that had already fled from multiple law enforcement agencies earlier that evening.

Uh going through a parking lot, coming back out onto West End. Uh 795 is going to have primary and 795 is going to have primary. 75 at this time. >> As troopers activated their emergency equipment, the driver immediately accelerated away, triggering another pursuit through City Street. The SUV sped through red lights, crossed curbs, cut through yards, and even drove toward oncoming traffic, showing little regard for the safety of others. The chase continued onto Lee Street, where the fleeing vehicle struck a Chrysler 300 and collided with a guardrail. Yet, the driver still refused to stop. 1050 still going. >> Concerned about the growing danger to the public, a trooper executed a precision immobilization technique commonly known as a Piet maneuver, causing the SUV to spin and crash into a construction fence. Even then, the driver climbed out through the window and ran into a nearby parking lot. With assistance from Atlanta police officers, Trooper Matthews deployed his taser twice before finally gaining compliance and taking the suspect identified as Willie Joe Williams into custody. Let go. Let go. >> Hey, y'all set this time. >> Investigators later noted several signs consistent with impairment, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and the odor of alcohol. An open alcoholic beverage was also found inside the vehicle. Williams was transported to a hospital for medical clearance before being booked into the Fulton County Jail, while other agencies pursued additional charges connected to earlier incidents. Looking back, the case illustrates how a single decision to flee can place countless drivers, officers, and bystanders in harm's way, turning an already serious situation into an even greater risk for everyone involved. Huh? >> How old are you? Get on the ground ready for >> on August 30th, 2025, at approximately 7:31 p.m. in Aurora, Colorado, USA, an Aurora police officer attempted to stop a vehicle for a traffic violation along East 6th Avenue. Within moments, the situation changed dramatically when the driver collided with an eastbound vehicle, crossed the median, and struck a second vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. What began as a simple enforcement stop had suddenly become a chaotic crash scene involving multiple motorists. >> Stay in the car. Don't move. Don't move. >> Motor 45. We've got a crash 6 just east of 225. After the collisions, the officer approached the vehicle and repeatedly instructed the driver to follow commands. The man stepped out but refused to comply, leading to a physical struggle. >> Get on the ground. GET ON THE GROUND. GET AWAY FROM THAT [ __ ] GUN. GET ON THE GROUND NOW. >> Get that [ __ ] >> GET ON THE GROUND NOW. >> GET THAT [ __ ] During the confrontation, the officer noticed a firearm lying on the ground nearby. Although the man was not holding the weapon, he continued advancing toward the officer in an aggressive stance while ignoring repeated verbal commands. >> Get that [ __ ] >> Get on the ground. >> Get that Get that [ __ ] >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> Oh yeah. >> So you ready for this? >> You ready for this? >> Get on the ground. As the distance between the two rapidly closed, the officer backed away while continuing to issue commands in an effort to create space and deescalate the encounter. Faced with what he believed was an immediate threat, the officer discharged his service weapon to stop the advance, additional officers quickly arrived and began providing first aid until emergency medical personnel reached the scene. >> You ready for this? You ready for this, huh? You ready for this, huh? Get on the ground. You ready for this? Shots fired. 245 shots fired. >> The man was later pronounced unresponsive at the scene while the involved officer was placed on paid administrative leave in accordance with department policy as investigators continued reviewing the case. Looking back, the incident highlights how rapidly events can unfold following a traffic violation and how officers are sometimes required to make difficult decisions in uncertain and rapidly evolving circumstances. >> Shut it all down. >> Sable, >> what? How are you? >> Oh, Jesus Christ. >> On September 16th, 2024, at approximately 10:17 a.m. in Restston, Virginia, USA, Fairfax County Police Officer Firstclass Peter Lou responded to a residence on Sunrise Valley Drive to conduct a welfare check. The request had come from a mental health professional who reported that 33-year-old Sydney Wilson was experiencing an agitated state. What started as an effort to ensure someone's well-being would soon unfold in an unexpected and deeply troubling way. Officer Leu knocked on the door and Wilson briefly opened it before closing it again. Determined to communicate and deescalate the situation, the officer remained outside and continued speaking calmly. Nearly 2 minutes later, Wilson reopened the door, but this time she was holding a knife and immediately moved toward the officer, swinging the weapon and striking him in the head. >> How are you? >> Oh, Jesus Christ. BACK UP. NO. >> Oh yeah. >> Back up. Back up. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah. >> Hey man, I got the dude. Please back up. >> Oh yeah. >> Back up. Back up. >> Back up. >> Back up. >> Despite being injured, officer Leu managed to step backward while repeatedly issuing verbal commands in an attempt to stop the advance. However, Wilson continued moving toward him with the knife, leaving little time to react. Faced with an immediate threat at close range, the officer discharged his service weapon to stop the attack. Responding officers quickly arrived and rendered aid until rescue personnel took over. single one. Shots fired. >> Wilson was transported to a nearby hospital where medical staff later determined she was unable to recover from her injuries. Officer Lou was also taken to a hospital and treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Looking back, the incident serves as a difficult reminder that welfare checks often involve individuals experiencing serious emotional or mental health struggles, and even well-intentioned encounters can change dramatically in a matter of seconds. >> Are you okay? I'm just headed. >> Are you okay? Are you okay? >> Okay. Do you have any other injuries? On December 27th, 2021, near mile marker 158 on Interstate 75 in Bib County, Georgia, USA, a Georgia State Patrol trooper observed a Ford Ranger traveling at 90 mph in a posted 70 mph zone. At first, the driver appeared to slow down as if preparing to pull over, giving the impression that the stop might end without incident. But within moments it became clear that the driver had no intention of stopping. As the trooper activated his emergency lights and siren, the pickup truck continued northbound, weaving through traffic and attempting to exit at Pon No Avenue. The maneuver was blocked by a tractor trailer, forcing the driver back onto the interstate. Knowing that a construction zone and heavier traffic lay ahead near downtown Mon, the trooper carefully evaluated his options while keeping public safety in mind 175. Believing conditions were favorable and traffic remained relatively light, the trooper decided to perform a precision immobilization technique commonly known as a pit maneuver. The maneuver caused the Ford Ranger to rotate, leave the roadway, and roll several times down an embankment before coming to rest on its passenger side. The trooper immediately requested firefighters and medical personnel before rushing to check on the driver, Joseph Silus, who was still secured by his seat belt inside the damaged truck. >> I was just balding 1080. painted one right here at Riverside Correction 75 and uh Rocky Creek Road. Go ahead and get me up 1052 in route. Silus complained of pain in his arm and expressed concern about losing his job, later admitting that he had been drinking and had made a serious mistake. He agreed to a blood test after receiving medical attention at a local hospital and was issued citations related to the incident. Looking back, the encounter serves as a reminder that a momentary decision made under the influence or in panic can lead to lasting consequences. While officers are often tasked with making difficult choices to prevent even greater dangers from unfolding. On March 7th, 2024, at approximately 3:16 p.m. in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, members of the Georgia State Patrol Crime Suppression Unit were assisting the Atlanta Police Department in locating a white Ford Fusion connected to a vehicle theft investigation. With support from the Autocrimes Enforcement Unit and the Phoenix Aviation Unit, officers located the sedan parked near Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. At first, it seemed they might be able to stop the vehicle before anyone was placed in danger. K 795 is trying to stop a white. Stand by for dogs. He's going around. Give him a second. Give him a second. Probably going to go. All right. We're good at all. >> When troopers activated their emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop for a window tint violation, the driver accelerated away, initiating a pursuit through residential neighborhoods. The fleeing vehicle ignored traffic signals, drove at a high rate of speed, and even passed other motorists on the wrong side of the road. As the chase entered Interstate 20 eastbound, and the risks to the public continued to grow, troopers knew they needed to act quickly. Please clear. >> Another troopers performed a pit maneuver in an attempt to end the pursuit, but the vehicle recovered and continued fleeing. A second pit maneuver proved successful, forcing the Ford Fusion into a guardrail and disabling it. The driver, later identified as Jon Jackson, jumped out and ran down a wooded embankment, leading officers a K9 team and aviation units on another chase. Guided by updates from Phoenix overhead, troopers eventually located Jackson near railroad tracks where a taser deployment helped bring the foot pursuit to an end. Jackson was later turned over to investigators and faced several charges related to the pursuit, including reckless driving, felony fleeing, obstruction, driving with a suspended license, and outstanding warrants from Fulton County. But looking back, the incident demonstrates how quickly a decision to run can escalate into a complex operation involving ground units, aviation support, and K-9 teams. In many situations, choosing to cooperate from the beginning may prevent unnecessary risks and allow everyone involved to return home safely. >> And I will shoot you and I will shoot you on the ground. >> WHERE'S THE KNIFE? DO THEY HAVE THE KNIFE? Where is it? >> On December 22nd, 2025, at approximately 12:29 a.m. in Alpenisha, Michigan, USA, officers located a reported stolen vehicle connected to Violet Crane, who had an active felony warrant for unlawfully driving away an automobile. The vehicle was stopped in the Birchwood Meadows parking lot, and Crane peacefully stepped out before being taken into custody. At first, it appeared to be another routine arrest, but the situation would soon take an unexpected turn. Who's driving? >> Okay. Go somehow. >> You're a warrant. Who is driving? >> During the stop, troopers spoke with 35-year-old passenger Jackson Jacobs and discovered a glass pipe in his possession. Within moments, Jacobs became combative and a struggle broke out with responding troopers. The encounter escalated rapidly when Jacobs produced a knife, injuring an Alpena police officer and a Michigan State Police trooper despite repeated commands to drop the weapon. >> Did he Does he have a license? >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Hey, put your hands behind your back. >> Hey, we're going to get around. >> You want to go down with them? Go down, please. on the ground. >> Get down on the ground now. >> Get on the ground. >> Officers attempted several less lethal options, including tasers and physical control techniques, but the efforts were unsuccessful as Jacobs continued to pose an immediate threat. >> I got taser. >> I GOT IT. >> DROP IT. [ __ ] [ __ ] TAPE. >> DROP IT. >> DROP THE [ __ ] DROP THE DROP. >> DROP IT. CENTRAL. How do you name this? >> Faced with a dangerous and fastmoving situation, an APD officer fired three rounds to stop the attack. >> Where is it? >> THE KNIFE. >> WHERE'S THE KNIFE? >> DO THEY HAVE THE KNIFE? Where is it? >> Medical aid was immediately provided at the scene and the injured officers were transported for treatment. One Alpena officer later underwent surgery before eventually returning to full duty. The incident was investigated by the Michigan State Police Special Investigative Section and later reviewed by the Alpena County Prosecutor's Office. On March 20th, 2026, prosecutors concluded that the officer's actions were legally justified under the circumstances. Looking back, the encounter serves as a reminder that what begins as a seemingly ordinary traffic stop can change countless lives within seconds. While officers are often forced to make difficult decisions to protect themselves and those around them, >> drop the knife. DROP THE KNIFE. DROP THE KNIFE. OH MY GOD. >> HEY, GO. >> Get on the ground. >> On October 23rd, 2024, at approximately 12:15 p.m. in Punta Gorda, Florida, USA, deputies responded to a disturbance call at a property on Sandy Pine Drive, after the owner reported that a tenant was acting erratically. While speaking with those at the scene, deputies learned that the property owner, later identified as 42-year-old Elroy Clark, might have an active arrest warrant. What began as a call to restore peace was about to become a prolonged and unpredictable confrontation. >> That's that's what decel is that I need to go past. What decel is it not peaceful anymore? Tell me that. >> Put your hands. >> Do not touch me. And do not touch me. >> Put your hands behind. >> Do not touch me. I'm telling you, do not touch me. >> I'm going to tase you. >> You tase me. It's going to get hot in this [ __ ] And it's it's I'm telling you it's gonna get hot. >> I'm telling you it's gonna get hot. I don't care. Go ahead. >> I'm gonna tase you. >> All right. Let me >> put your hands behind your back. >> Listen. >> Put your hands behind your back. >> Deputies soon confirmed Clark's identity and his active warrant. However, when officers approached him, Clark denied who he was and gave a false name. As deputies attempted to detain him, he became increasingly agitated, ignored repeated commands to place his hands behind his back, and warned officers that if they touched him, they would see something they don't want to see. Despite several efforts to calm the situation, Clark remained uncooperative and repeatedly challenged deputies to use force against him. >> I gave you everything and this is how you treat me. >> On the ground, please. >> I gave you everything on the ground. >> I gave you everything. Don't touch me. >> Stay on the ground. >> Do not touch me. If you touch me, if you touch me, you're going to see something you don't want to see. >> Alroy, come on. >> Get on the ground. >> Come on. >> For your safety, >> get on the ground. I'm telling you, >> let's make this peaceful. >> This isn't peace and love. >> Over the next several minutes, deputies used multiple less lethal options, including tasers, pepper spray, a baton, and beanag rounds, hoping to safely gain compliance. Yet, Clark repeatedly regained his footing and refused to surrender. >> Behind your back BEHIND YOUR [ __ ] [ __ ] TEETH, you [ __ ] All right, he's up. He's up. Get off. >> Get on the ground. >> Get on the ground. >> Stay down. Stay down. >> The tense standoff reached its peak when he suddenly rushed toward Deputy Hash 3, who was holding his service weapon. Faced with an immediate threat, two deputies fired their weapons to stop the advance, bringing the confrontation to an end. >> GO LEFT. >> I DON'T [ __ ] KNOW. >> GET ON THE GROUND. >> I DON'T [ __ ] KNOW. >> Deployed times two. >> Get on the ground. >> I know. I know. >> Get on the [ __ ] ground, dude. The next thing. >> Get on the ground. Deputies immediately provided medical assistance and continued their efforts until paramedics arrived. One deputy sustained a head injury during the struggle and was later treated and released. Fortunately, no uninvolved individuals were harmed. Looking back, the incident serves as a sobering reminder that officers often spend far more time trying to deescalate situations than many people realize and that a single decision made in anger can alter the course of many lives within moments. Like that. One more. One more. Come on. No, you're staying up. Come on. Shot him. >> Come on. Come on. Come on. >> He's coming right in. >> I got you. I got you. >> I got you.
