I'm sorry, I don't know how to post videos yet. This video is a must watch. This guy has no business being an officer of the law. Makes me wonder how much psych eval is being done to ensure that law enforcement officers are mentally stable. Luckily no one was killed.

1. That was unbelievable.

He shouldn't have been given his gun back. Did the other cops view this as anything but incredibly chaotic and dangerous? He put everyone, including all responders at risk of being shot, by him.

It would be funny if not so serious.

2. This was posted a few days ago. Scary as hell. The EMS guy gave the maniac his gun back.

3. from the article

The video showed Mullinax obeyed Johnson when – after Johnson had fired seven shots and ran away – the deputy ordered him to the ground, and he never moved from that position during or after Johnson’s panic attack.

Mullinax is set to stand trial in Sevier County Criminal Court on Tuesday on a charge that he assaulted Johnson. A lower court judge already dropped felony charges against both Cody and Mullinax, and a grand jury refused to indict Cody for causing the panic attack. She remains charged with resisting arrest.

The couple spent 42 days in jail because they were too poor to post bond and did not get a preliminary hearing within 10 business days as the law requires, records showed. It’s not clear why from those court records.
