The officer begging the man with the knife to let them help him, even while being threatened, is exactly who we need in this profession. Officer Yao as well. I hope they’re doing okay dealing with these traumatic experiences.
Hearing Officer Yao say, "I wanna help you." made me tear up. He clearly had a lot of empathy for Ethan and what he was going through. My heart goes out to him, and I hope he's doing okay after that brutal situation.
According to the attorney general's report, Ethan Freeman suffered from serious mental illness "for most of his adult life". He was prone to paranoid episodes where he thought everyone was spying on him, especially the cops. His landlord noticed he was suffering worse psychotic episodes than usual in the days before his tragic death at the age of 37. On the morning of the events in this video, he didn't recognize the landlord and brandished a roasting fork at him. Ethan actually declined to be admitted when he got to the hospital, and it isn't certain how he got home. The landlord said he was dropped off by a creepy black car no one had seen before. Also, he was limping with a swollen knee and refused to explain. By the time Officer Yao arrived, Ethan was already covered in open wounds and bruises from whatever he was doing to himself. He died very quickly after being shot, possibly instantly - there was no chance to save him. The toxicology report found high levels of caffeine, nicotine, and THC. Officer Yao has served in the US Marine Forces Reserves and is now a detective in Haverhill, NH.
People like this.. it’s almost second nature for them to claim they didn’t do anything or the cops are only going after them because they’re minorities.. and unfortunately.. in our soft world these days.. it sometimes works.
My uncle is a retired cop. When I asked him who the craziest person he arrested was, he told me a story of a guy who beat his wife so bad she had bruises all over her body. When he went to an arrest the guy, his wife came form behind and tried to stab him, his vest stopped the knife and she ended up getting arrested with him.
Wow that's crazy. Got to wonder why the wife did that and what was going through her mind. Glad your uncle didn't get hurt and his vest stopped him getting stab.
@@ThePunksinger008 There’s a lot that goes into being an abusive relationship that bad. She likely has a foundation of extremely bad self esteem, & no self respect. Then you add in the abuse she’s suffered, not to mention the very real possibility of beatings giving her mental issues. She’s just not mentally well at all.
For those who don’t know, 10 feet is incredibly close when someone is charging at you and that gap closes quickly. Yao did everything he could and waited until the absolute last second to use force.
Was looking for this. I’ve seen comments in the past like, “They should’ve just tased him,” or, “Why didn’t they just hit him in the leg?” At 30 feet, a suspect can cover that distance before any officer can draw, aim, and fire. Even if the suspect is hit, they don’t drop on the spot like you see on TV. They can continue their attack for several minutes after taking shots, so long as their heart is still beating and head still intact. Another aspect that nobody realizes until they’re in that situation, or they’re trained to know, is when you’re using a firearm for self defense you aren’t going to use your sights. You aim and squeeze, possibly until the clip is empty. There’s no time to carefully line up the sights at close range; at 30 feet, you have less than three seconds to successfully ward off the average assailant before your own life is forfeit. Any time police take someone out and the public (who weren’t there) call foul, I have to interpret that with some skepticism. I had a neighbor once who was acting suıcidal, so his mother called 911. It didn’t matter who would’ve showed up; officers, social workers, Boy Scouts…. he was intent on harming others, then himself. He had an hunting knife and had been cutting himself. Officers tased him when he approached aggressively, but it had no effect (adrenaline does that sometimes). When he charged around the front of a cruiser and tried to stab an officer, they put five in center mass, and that was the end of it. He got within inches of stabbing that officer in the neck.
@@CaughtSlackin_ Not everyone does know. And as someone who carries, that’s important for me to know, also. As you may have noticed, an insane percentage of our population is misinformed about this issue, and they often march in the streets claiming that law enforcement could have “shot them in the knees” or that they otherwise “murdered” someone trying to kill them.
@robertbeard230 if they don't know they don't matter those that do matter already learned this shit. If they need an explanation they are worthless to the world
Why? Do you know that psych workers deal with much worse - in the field, even - than this poor guy? When your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. This shows how woefully uneducated cops are and highlights the need for systemic change.
Officer Yao, you have my respect sir. If you ever read this, I hope you know that you did the right thing. You did everything possible to help Ethan. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and I pray that Ethan is in a better place in spirit. Don't fault yourself. No one could blame you.
Well said. It was a tragic situation. I sincerely wish Officer Yao all the best. As for Ethan, i sincerely hope he has the peace that eluded him in this life.💖
18:41 This is so heart breaking knowing just how hard that officer tried to keep him from making this mistake yet he left him no alternative 😔 😢 Officer Yao you have my utmost respect!
@@agord7591 Look at the video, even through the blur you can see just how fast he was walking. And drugs can make people do some crazy stuff, to the point it looks and feels physically impossible.
@johnjacobs3601 Im not a liberal. I just saw the original unblurred video and the guy had his pants around his ankles and was unarmed. He didn't even have to run, a slow jog would have got the job done.
Thank you for showing both videos with Officer Yao and Ethan, it really gives a lot of context. Very tragic and I hope Yoa is ok. / Then followed by that nasty drug dealer, and insane hatchet dude, wife beater with knife talking about his right to stand and her face all swollen and bruised, etc. I can't imagine dealing with this stuff - crazy violence at any time.
It’s crazy you assume he’s a wife beater, when he states she lied to him in some way that put him in this state. She hurt him just for her to go record him and mock him while he was at his lowest. It’s disgusting you just assume it’s all him.
Hearing Officer Yao begging Ethan to stay back was heartbreaking. You can tell he really did everything he could and was scared he’d have to shoot. And unfortunately he did. It’s sad to see how addiction really takes over.
@@adamngoose4270Obvious mental health issues that should be addressed before people turn to substances. But taxpayers would hoot and holler about that…….
Man i wanna give Yao a hug, he seemed genuinely hurt when Ethan was calling him those names. I feel bad for him and he shouldnt have had to go through that
Its all the more tragic when you consider the fact that Ethan probably didn't want to put Yao in that position either, but the man was clearly struggling with mental and substance abuse issues and cruel twist of fate saw him and Yao having to meet once more but while he was being consumed by his inner demons. The US really needs to up its public medical infrastructure for mental health care, so that people like Ethan can get help before its too late and good law enforcement officers like Yao aren't put in positions where they have to kill someone to defend themselves when the person in question really just needs mental help badly. The sad fact is, Ethan didn't deserve to die and Yao didn't deserve to be put in a position where he had to kill someone he wanted to help just to keep himself safe. I will say Yao was definitely justified in shooting Ethan, he gave him a lot of chances and when push comes to shove a dead police officer is of no help to anyone so Yao handled the bad situation admirably. I hope this event doesn't drain Yao's empathy completely. The world needs more empathy not less but I know all to well its very easy to be jaded and cynical these days, especially when attempts to do right end poorly for those who try.
@@TheRougeSky Don't mistake mental illness with drug overdose. Ethan deserved what he brought on himself, be it from this officer today or some other tomorrow, he was simply lucky it took that long. Stop defending drug addicts, they already made their choice the same way everyone else do. Reality check baby.
Hearing some of these officers pleading with these people and trying to talk them down is heartbreaking. Thankful for the men and women that risk their life to keep us safe
@@DickFitzenhugh I agree. I really hope he got the care he needed after that awful event. I can only imagine what being forced to make that choice does to you
Risking their lives and their mental health. I can’t imagine what being forced to shoot someone does to their psyche, especially for an officer who joined the force for the right reasons and who just genuinely wants to serve and protect the people in their community.
With the first guy fidgeting around, and grabbing at stuff, I *_myself_* felt nervous. I can only imagine how terrifying it would have been for the cop. Imagine knowing that someone is about to fire on you and you will have to fire back?
WOW.. officer Yao handled that amazingly...his voice and words the whole time calm and compassionate.. great job officer Yao...i can't imagine how hard it is to be an officer...fear is certainly a part of the job but if you are overly afraid out on the streets you shouldn't be out there.. cautious and aware yes...we have too many that become over-emotional...and that can sometimes cause harm to those you're called to serve and protect..NO WAY COULD I DO IT!..✌️😁
The worst thing is the aftermath for these cops. Imagine standing there looking at a dead or bleeding out person who you tried to desperately help die in front of your eyes.
I truly hope officer Yao is doing well after going through something so distressing. Clearly there was something seriously wrong with Ethan but you could tell Yao had a lot of empathy towards him and wanted to do anything he could to help.
@@Suisfonia It's because people realized they can't cry about police brutality or racism when video evidence is available to defend the police officers.
That second one hurt my heart. You can hear in that officers voice how absolutely terrified and horrified he was. He obviously didn't want to shoot anyone but I'm so glad he protected himself.
The enormous amount of patience these officers show is commendable and shows why their training is so important. Why in the world would anyone challenge a lawful traffic stop, unless they were in the wrong.
Yet, so many Americans hate the police. They never know what type of call the cop has just come from. Just give them a break once in awhile. It’s NOT their fault if you broke the law. (Not you, “you” in general terms).
@@Candigalethere's plenty of good cops. I've met some, even worked with some but unfortunately there's a lot of cops who abuse their authority, are power tripping, racist or whatever who give cops a bad name. Honestly it's more than a few bad apples but certainly not all.
The whole time with officer Yao, half the time I forget he was an officer. He really shows his separation between professional and compassionate. I know it stings for him to have had to shoot Ethan.
@@arandomperson6293 Maybe to a degree but it was definitely more of a substance abuse problem, guy broke through the window when he could have opened the door and walked out. Admitted to using in the past although the last time being 4 months ago I really dont believe by how he was acting from the start.
@Bringleboar Substance abuse disorders are literally included in the DSM-5-TR. This problem rarely occurs for trivial issues or peer pressure. Addiction extends beyond just casual or social use. Yes, that can lead to bigger issues, but I promise you addiction is rarely so easily explained.
The dude pulling up in the car durring the officer's traffic stop and getting out with a hatchet and running at the officer is like something out of a horror slasher movie shits crazy.
I’m so glad Yao wasn’t the one to get hurt. That whole situation sucks, but man does he seem like a really good cop. That man genuinely cares, even when dealing with very difficult circumstances. He’s exactly the kind of person who should be wearing a badge, and one I’d feel better knowing was on my local force. His demeanour, his restraint, his intentions. It really really sucks that he had to defend himself with lethal force, but it was completely justified. I’m sure it haunts him, too. Which sucks even more. Thanks for being the type of man we need more of in the blue, officer Yao. You’re appreciated. You do your profession an honour and I wish you all the best going forward.
@pipplypaul2620 - I agree with your great post; I am grateful that Officer Yao is now a Detective but also wish he could train some Police Officers on the correct way to handle a situation.

I just googled the case and it hurt my heart for officer Tao because all articles are written in a way that makes it seem that Yao was a “coward who shot an unarmed man”. Seeing the video and then reading the articles made me mad because the situation was so much more complicated than that and Yao did everything he could in a rapid escalation of behaviour had to shoot a man who died as a result then had to get articles like that written about him.

@@jamesc5751 being in a different country from the outside perspective from someone who doesn’t have to deal with the imbalance everyday, I see both sides. Unfortunately any job has people who are corrupt and racist even killers. But cops are in those moments more often than any other profession. I have seen amazing cops but I have also seen horrible cops who abuse their power just to oppress certain races. I think with the gun laws being as lax as they are they (civilians and cops) are always going to be afraid of each other. I don’t think you need to take guns away and I respect your right. But just tighten them up. In my country (Australia) people think no one has guns here. That’s in correct but the licenses are difficult to get and the type of guns available are limited to hunting guns and hand guns. We don’t have access to semi automatic weapons. Which I feel besides country defense shouldn’t be available to civilians who only need guns for protection. But I have never shot a gun before so what do I know 😅
@@jamesc5751 you can’t really pin it one way or the other. Cops don’t trust civilians and civilians don’t trust cops and because of this both sides lose lives that would have been easily preventable.
Edward was honestly the scariest out of them all. Imagine what would have happened if the officer pulled the gun 1-2 seconds later. A hit from a knife can be fatal , but one from a hatchet is even worse
Honestly the cop who was screaming at Javier, seriously, brought tears to my eyes when his answers to "kill me" was:" Sir, please just get down, let us help you". 😢
It’s wild how even when pointing a gun and screaming at a suspect they still sometimes say “SIR GET DOWN” 😂 always thought that was interesting and a little funny
4:36 This situation was absolutely terrifying. I jumped when the officer turned around the corner and the dude is standing there with a whole rifle. Also, 10/10 respect for Officer Yao. He embodies what our police officers should be, and officers like him certainly make our world 10 times better.
I thought I was in danger when he randomly appeared holding a whole rifle. Not to mention the speed he got out of the car, he was 100% getting ready to get out once the officer came to the opposite window. This is a video about stupid criminals yet I had no clue that man would've sped run an assault charge
Very sad for Officer Yao. He’s obviously a really nice guy & tried hard to help Ethan. How is it fair that we leave people with chronic mental illness like Ethan to suffer in the community? If he was an elderly person with dementia, he wouldn’t be left to look after himself. But we do this with seriously mentally ill people. People like Ethan should live in residential care. When they’re well they can go out in the community, but when they’re not, they should be cared for - for their sake as well as the rest of the community’s.
Those residential facilities u r speaking about, mostly don’t exist anymore. And no, there are so many homeless people on the streets with dementia. Look at our homeless veterans! But yet our idiotic govt in DC is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and the Palestinians instead of taking care of America first. They truly want to destroy this country and is too! Look it up!!!
I have actually met officer Nelson. He is a stand up dude. He helped me with random questions and just carried on a great conversation with my family and I. Hats off my dude. I love Vegas
Maybe that’s one of the many reason why they just let them go, who in their right mind would be completely fine with ending someones life because of a stolen cellphone (even if the perp seems to be fine with it).
god i feel so bad for officer Yao. He was so kind and helpful, forced to commit self defense like that. I hope he is doing well now, i would love to hug him and offer kindness to him, must have been rough
I feel so bad for Office Yao, he tried so hard to be kind with Ethan, he sounded fatherly with how he talked to him or like a close friend. I hope he is okay after having to shoot Ethan. Respect to him. 💙
Ooof, Ethan sounded like two different people talking at once when they were talking through the broken window. Poor Yao though, he just wanted to help him, and even Ethan wanted help, but something was so wrong.
Apparently Ethan consummated drugs and constantly paranoid and refused to listen to his friend or to reason and charged at the officer with a large knife seeing this the officer had no choice but to shooting him in self-defense killing him in the process.
Whenever I hear the words "let me help you", specially from a cop, it always makes my heart just feel for the person saying it and Yao is not just some officer, his one of the real heroes we all need, him and the others who really try to do their jobs, big respects to them all
You can definitely HEAR the adrenaline these cops have when they’re screaming at these people… It’s crazy. It must be really hard to try to function normally when you’re amped up on that much adrenaline and you’re also trying to deal with dangerous people who also have weapons.

Wow that's crazy. Got to wonder why the wife did that and what was going through her mind. Glad your uncle didn't get hurt and his vest stopped him getting stab.

For those who don’t know, 10 feet is incredibly close when someone is charging at you and that gap closes quickly. Yao did everything he could and waited until the absolute last second to use force.
Was looking for this. I’ve seen comments in the past like, “They should’ve just tased him,” or, “Why didn’t they just hit him in the leg?”
At 30 feet, a suspect can cover that distance before any officer can draw, aim, and fire. Even if the suspect is hit, they don’t drop on the spot like you see on TV. They can continue their attack for several minutes after taking shots, so long as their heart is still beating and head still intact. Another aspect that nobody realizes until they’re in that situation, or they’re trained to know, is when you’re using a firearm for self defense you aren’t going to use your sights. You aim and squeeze, possibly until the clip is empty. There’s no time to carefully line up the sights at close range; at 30 feet, you have less than three seconds to successfully ward off the average assailant before your own life is forfeit. Any time police take someone out and the public (who weren’t there) call foul, I have to interpret that with some skepticism.
I had a neighbor once who was acting suıcidal, so his mother called 911. It didn’t matter who would’ve showed up; officers, social workers, Boy Scouts…. he was intent on harming others, then himself. He had an hunting knife and had been cutting himself. Officers tased him when he approached aggressively, but it had no effect (adrenaline does that sometimes). When he charged around the front of a cruiser and tried to stab an officer, they put five in center mass, and that was the end of it. He got within inches of stabbing that officer in the neck.

Thank you for showing both videos with Officer Yao and Ethan, it really gives a lot of context. Very tragic and I hope Yoa is ok. / Then followed by that nasty drug dealer, and insane hatchet dude, wife beater with knife talking about his right to stand and her face all swollen and bruised, etc. I can't imagine dealing with this stuff - crazy violence at any time.
It’s crazy you assume he’s a wife beater, when he states she lied to him in some way that put him in this state. She hurt him just for her to go record him and mock him while he was at his lowest. It’s disgusting you just assume it’s all him.
@@AllredGLwell, maybe not. But he has no right to go around killing people, even if he was manipulated by his wife or what not.
Hearing Officer Yao begging Ethan to stay back was heartbreaking. You can tell he really did everything he could and was scared he’d have to shoot. And unfortunately he did. It’s sad to see how addiction really takes over.
I think it also had to do with the lack of sleep he was probably experiencing psychosis as well it is truly sad

en todo caso yao es un asesino, no hay mas
Man i wanna give Yao a hug, he seemed genuinely hurt when Ethan was calling him those names. I feel bad for him and he shouldnt have had to go through that
Its all the more tragic when you consider the fact that Ethan probably didn't want to put Yao in that position either, but the man was clearly struggling with mental and substance abuse issues and cruel twist of fate saw him and Yao having to meet once more but while he was being consumed by his inner demons. The US really needs to up its public medical infrastructure for mental health care, so that people like Ethan can get help before its too late and good law enforcement officers like Yao aren't put in positions where they have to kill someone to defend themselves when the person in question really just needs mental help badly.
The sad fact is, Ethan didn't deserve to die and Yao didn't deserve to be put in a position where he had to kill someone he wanted to help just to keep himself safe. I will say Yao was definitely justified in shooting Ethan, he gave him a lot of chances and when push comes to shove a dead police officer is of no help to anyone so Yao handled the bad situation admirably. I hope this event doesn't drain Yao's empathy completely. The world needs more empathy not less but I know all to well its very easy to be jaded and cynical these days, especially when attempts to do right end poorly for those who try.
@@TheRougeSky Don't mistake mental illness with drug overdose. Ethan deserved what he brought on himself, be it from this officer today or some other tomorrow, he was simply lucky it took that long.

With the first guy fidgeting around, and grabbing at stuff, I *_myself_* felt nervous. I can only imagine how terrifying it would have been for the cop. Imagine knowing that someone is about to fire on you and you will have to fire back?

He’s exactly the kind of person who should be wearing a badge, and one I’d feel better knowing was on my local force.
His demeanour, his restraint, his intentions. It really really sucks that he had to defend himself with lethal force, but it was completely justified. I’m sure it haunts him, too. Which sucks even more.

@@jamesc5751 being in a different country from the outside perspective from someone who doesn’t have to deal with the imbalance everyday, I see both sides. Unfortunately any job has people who are corrupt and racist even killers. But cops are in those moments more often than any other profession. I have seen amazing cops but I have also seen horrible cops who abuse their power just to oppress certain races. I think with the gun laws being as lax as they are they (civilians and cops) are always going to be afraid of each other. I don’t think you need to take guns away and I respect your right. But just tighten them up. In my country (Australia) people think no one has guns here. That’s in correct but the licenses are difficult to get and the type of guns available are limited to hunting guns and hand guns. We don’t have access to semi automatic weapons. Which I feel besides country defense shouldn’t be available to civilians who only need guns for protection. But I have never shot a gun before so what do I know 😅
