SALT LAKE CITY (KTVX) – The Salt Lake City Police Department released body camera video of an officer shooting a 13-year old boy with autism on Monday afternoon, an incident that Mayor Erin Mendenhall and Police Chief Mike Brown called “a tragedy.”

It was Friday night, September 4, when 13-year-old Linden Cameron’s mother called 911 to report that he was having a mental health crisis. Neighbors reported a person screaming in the middle of the street.

The video shows officers chasing Cameron on foot before catching up to him on a sidewalk.
“Get on the ground, get on the ground,” an officer is heard shouting. “On the ground now. On the ground.”

Then he fires a series of ten shots in rapid succession. “I don’t feel good,” Cameron can be heard saying. “Tell my mom I love her.”

4. Thugs who should not have any job where they have power over others

I bet in other jobs from office with to fast food they would be fired for having been violent .

6. Tendency to be belligerent, tendency to be violent,.... tendency to be of authoritarian mindset,...

Bark out an order,... and hell should be paid if not followed precisely.

11. I'm convinced dash cams (Since the 80s) and body cams have made things exponentially worse.

Any time a cop gets killed on duty and it’s caught on video, the video is used to train fear in to these cops that every noncompliance is sufficient for handing out a death sentence.

One shooting gets passed around to 700,000 cops with the warning THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU!

That coupled with a complete lack of accountability has led us where we are today.

7. Tragedy? No, that's a fucking atrocity. (n/t)

8. It seems like so many of these calls by

Parents for mental health checks or help for their kids end in tragedy.

What is wrong with these cops? Just one more lesson in “never call the fucking police.”

Police threaten stuff like “oh, if you’re not nice we won’t be there when you need us,” but seriously, that’s way more of a promise than a threat. The last thing I want to see in any situation is a police officer. Period.
