What disturbs me about Sage Crawford's story is what she screams to her children "dont be afraid to die." As a former psych nurse, what appears to be psychotic behavior suggest those children were not that safe with her. It could have been hours or days until she decompensated to the point of some delusional plan to save her kids by killing them. We've seen how many psychotic mothers destroy their children in religious or safety delusions. We will never know but it's not unfathomable that interacting with the police on that day may have saved those 2 little girls. Its telling that her daughters had no reaction to her yelling, screaming, threats it seems that this baseline was their day to day experience.
I was thinking the same thing when all the comments were stating she was protecting her children. Out of everyone involved, her children were the most at risk of being killed out of desperation or as a way to “save them”
You can't justify the police shooting a woman dead in front of her children because you think that woman may have went off and killed her two kids. Like wtf!!! These comments defending these cops are insane.
@@Lyons_T-BAG pulling a knife on cops and chasing them with it is grounds to shoot. The MOTHER put her kids in that situation. You sound just as delusional as the woman.
Insane huh....nah insane is thinking they had any other choice other then what they did....self defense is for everyone not just the public. Let's make a list. Talking didn't work, taser didn't work, she's screaming , erratic, swinging knife around, grabbing kids with the same hand as knife and then rushed cop screaming "I'm gonna kill you"...self defense and if you think otherwise your as crazy and delusional as she was
@@becky4728I doubt she was a “menace” as you put it. She was obviously suffering from delusions and extreme paranoia stemming from mental illness. I firmly believe that she wanted to protect her children, she just wasn’t in the right mind.
Why would you say such a thing? Do you know her? Any reasonable person watching this video would have quickly gathered this momma would do anything and everything to protect her babies! She was suffering from mental illness. But that doesn’t mean she was a danger to her children! She died PROTECTING them!!
That’s pretty harsh, man. She was clearly having a psychotic episode, and mental illness is no joke. I feel bad for the officer almost as much as I feel for her kids. That officer did nothing wrong, but it doesn’t mean the woman was completely at fault. Yes, she was clearly the aggressor, and the officer had no other choice, but it’s also pretty harsh to label her as just crazy woman. Though, I do agree with you, it’s hard to believe people out there believe the officer was at fault.
@@JosieGarcia-j2jit’s no one’s fault. the mother was very clearly having a mental episode and was beyond thinking clearly or controlling her actions and the police tried to deescalate but were left with no choice but to defend themselves. in my opinion i would hold the family more accountable than anyone since they were most likely aware she was in this state and didn’t seek help for her and let her continue taking care of her kids on her own
They’re forever injured!! To bad cops don’t know how to deal with mentally ill people and instead of keeping their distance they get into her space scaring her even more which feeds into her delusions!! Cops need to be trained better when dealing with the mentally ill!!!
SO, this is an interesting case. I know this case. This happened within 3 minutes of where I live and at the time, and when I was a school bus driver, this street was on my route. This happening was a surreal wound for our entire community. She had her own demons. This incident was so tough on the cops and other responders. Untreated mental health and other influences are deadly. Our entire community was so grateful to the neighbor that stepped in for these kiddos in this incident. As soon mom was down and those girls were in the car, she ran to those kiddos to comfort and help LE take care of the situation at hand and keep an eye on those angels. I tear up every time this story pops back up. There was absolutely no other choice for those officers. They were absolutely not only being threatened but were in eminent danger. Although there are many that stood behind Sage's family, most of our community stand with our officers on this case. This video's commentator is right on with his opinion. Our police force here was do not just go straight to these options. They are members of our community that a lot of us grew up with or knew while we were growing up. We are smaller community and this was a wound to us all. My heart is till with those cops and these babies. Because no one is the same after this situation, especially with kids are involved so closely.
jessy BULLCRAP there was nothing else to do !!!! cops are not prepared to handle mental illness, their response is just kill em. I hope those two 911 callers realize they contributed to the womans death and making orphans of those 2 kids who are scared for life !!!
All the people standing with the family should've done something to get her help, not blame the police for having to stop the threat. Funny how they're concerned NOW but not before the incident.
I've seen the full BWC footage. The people who stepped in afterward had an agenda against the police, and an agenda to promote their interests. They were no friends of Sage or Sage's family. They were users and abusers. Shameful.
@@jikook7457 thats what these people do. They let their insane family members terrorize the whole town/city, attack people, etc. But as soon as someone stands up and defends themselves and others its suddenly a big problem and that they had mental issues, but none of their loved ones of friends were interested in getting them help. Its just money chasers, the family is already suing the cops, helpfully it gets thrown out.
She wasn't afraid to attack the police, and would have attacked a regular citizen even faster if she thought they were [whatever]. An unfortunate outcome, but she was too dangerous to be allowed to roam free.
How could anyone blame those officers for what happened to her??! They begged her to just talk to them and they even had such angst and true concern in their voices and on their faces when they were trying to D escalate the situation. Those poor babies watching their mom chase that officer with a knife, I hope they are getting some serious mental health support. Even after those poor officers clearly felt awful about what happened. What a truly tragic event.
@@samiachambers3401I blame the cops. Absolute cowards shooting a woman dead in front of her children. That did not have to happen they wore grown men they had tasers batons reinforcements a car. They could have took that little woman out easy. I've seen police deal with a man. A MAN. Off his head wielding a machete outside his families home. All the cops had guns. They all could have killed him no problem. But they chose to take out a long poll and knock the man clean out and then arrested him. These officers are just cowards. So afraid of a little danger they really shouldn't be cops. It's disgusting anyone thinks this is right. Imagine that was your mother.
@@ChanceKearns you guys want it to be a issue so bad..like no one is beefin w the cops😭it’s clear that the girl was at fault …not all police brutality arguments are all delusional like this one..start focusing on the ACTUAL police brutality happening around us
Exactly Sage's useless family would've still blamed the police, even though from the sounds of it her family didn't do anything to help or even take steps that would've prevented this.
I feel horrible for the children. But unfortunately, when you pull a weapon on officers, you’re going to get shot. They don’t care who you are, they don’t take any chances. It’s sad that this had to happen but you can’t blame the officers because they would’ve been hurt had they not done anything.
They do care who you are, they know you're human just like them. They understand that you that you have a life that a lot of people care about, that you have been through hardships just like them, but, yes, they have to prioritize themselves when push comes to shove. And it's not always under heroic circumstances, this was probably traumatizing for the officer as it was for the kids. The situation delt him and her a bad hand that they were forced to go out with.
@@jesses5463damn, gotta remember if someone is rushing at me with a knife I should let myself get stabbed or killed instead of trying to defend myself
It’s sad that some people would stand at a microphone and blame the police, not only to stir up trouble but to grab a few minutes in the spot light. This was a tragedy for that family and the police as well. Shame on the media clowns. RIP Sage. Bless those children and the police officers as well.
Unfortunate and sad, the cop was in danger. A hostile and belligerent person charged cops with a knife, they tried to taze her in a less then lethal way however it was ineffective. The person was most likely going to stab the cop and in clear self defense the cop(s) opened fire with there guns. Nobody won and leaves these children motherless. The cops tried to de-escalate and calm the situation down. The cops did there jobs, while ensuring public safety and there own safety.
I believe that at some point she would have ended the lives of her children thinking that she was saving them! I really feel for the officer! He did what he had to do not what he wanted to do! I pray those children get the help they need in order to have a healthy life!
Yes, I totally agree with you on that assessment. She had no right to be in charge of these girls with that lack of responsibility you could see via her actions pulling the kids and yelling at the officers in front of officers like that. That’s not love. Someone left her like that with her kids and didn’t help out, as she seemed lost and frazzled, then paranoid about everyone wanting to harm her and the kids. The kids should not have been with her.
roxannesmith Cops did all they could ????? Really ???? Is that all they could do is kill her ???? they had tasers why not use them to stop her ??? OOOOH yeah is more fun for cops to kill some one !!!
You kidding?? They tase her early without pointing guns at her and everyone is safe. They point guns at the mentally ill woman and let her chase them then yes, they had already lost control.
@@1physicsthey did taze her. Problem is tazers are commonly ineffective with subjects who are mentally ill or on drugs. They don't perceive pain or experience shock the same. No BS, I'm curious - if someone is chasing you with a knife, saying they're gonna k!ll you and your tazer doesn't work on her, what's your next move?
@@1physicsshe had a knife. No the cops didn't want to kill her. She was not listening. Due to her mental state. The cop had a taser out. He was showing her mercy by even having that taser. Both cops should've their guns out. A knife is a lethal force situation.
Omg this is so sad! Her kids had enough sense to say stop. And if she had listened to her child she could still be here. Man I feel for those kids and the officers. Especially the kids
@@watchmejumpstart69they clearly say stop and it's basically to both sides so the mom should have listened and still heard her child to calm down as the cops were not doing anything
@@wlhjr77 Her kids were toddlers. Of course they're going to yell at the police, they were likely well on their way to being brainwashed into the same radical islamic nonsense she believed. They were young enough to likely forget about this eventually, and they'll be far better off without that insane woman in their lives.
@@guyonbench you honestly never know! Whatever she had going on, she was clearly in the midst of a psychotic break. And people are obviously not themselves during that time. They are definitely not fit to take care or children while that’s happening. It’s so sad either way. No child should ever witness that.
I don't know about you but I was absolutely terrified she was gonna hurt the kids. This was not a failure of LE at all. It is another failure of our lack of mental health care in the US. My son was a victim of it, too. There was no help for him without insurance. I miss him. My only child.
Is that just a neighborhood lady who came out at the kid's screaming? Thanks, ma'am for being there for a stranger's children. It does take a village, people. 😉
@islamreligionofmindset5040 Yes, a demon called islam. She's clearly been brainwashed into radical islamic terrorism (probably by her late husband). Glad she took the asphalt challenge before she hurt someone else, or her children.
yep, you knew how this woman was thinking. and you're the judge. of taking someone's life let me pray for your evil soul for its soiled your life is the only one that counts.
The police did everything they could, most likely a Schizophrenic mother. Always stay rational and willing to learn and grow folks! The world is not out to get you, but everyone is looking out for themselves and you cant fault them .... unless its at the expense of other people.
piraka cops did NOT do everything to stop her, cops only response was to kill her in cold blood !!! those kids will be tramatized the rest of their lives,, 2 more into the mental health problem !! !
"Don't be afraid to die..." What a terrible motto to promote value of life with while litterally letting down your own childrens and scarring them. What cowardice and irresponsibility.
Prayer is useless, but sympathy is a recognized gesture, which I would extend to the officer who had no choice but to fire upon the crazed attacker. May that officer too get the help and support needed.
In this case it's clear that she was not in her right mind, and she clearly charged the officer with a knife. The officers avoided using force as long as they could. I don't understand how anyone could fault the officers in this case. Very tragic and sad all the way around 😢
The one side opposing the officers: "There is other ways they could have handled this situation!" How else would you handle a situation where someone wielding a knife is running at you....
people really siding with the woman with a knife? LITERALLY charging at the police, literally shown and yelling random stuff in front of her children and say police brutality? Better to have those children not with her anymore at least so they dont copy her actions
What people don't understand is that if an officer gets incapacitated in any way shape or form that gives the criminal access to his weapons. Not just what's on his person but also the assault rifles that are in the vehicle the vehicle itself that's outfitted with cages and bars. That officer has a lot he has to protect it other than just his life and the one in his immediate area. If the suspect would get away with any of those other weapons or combination of it could be catastrophic including the body armor
Absolutely! I agree with you 100% Most people don't think about this either especially the ones that would say the cops are wrong here. Cops were definitely not wrong here. I would have done the same here as the officer. But, officers don't carry assault rifles. That might be the only thing I disagree with you on. Assault rifles are illegal.
@@BigBabyJane am I seeing something that you're not being? Those are automatic rifles that they carry in their vehicles! Take a look at them the next time they have them out.
the children's loss of their mother is nothing compared to what mignt have happened to them when they grow up under the care of their mother. Must have been a blessing in disguise.
Imagine your mom saying “don’t be scared to die” as she’s dying from something so crazy. That’s one of the most f’d up core memories you could ever have.
Fun fact. “Neutralize the threat” does not mean KILL. The fact that officers are trained to shoot upper center mass is insane. A leg shot may still be fatal. However much higher survival rate. And as stated in the video. Officers are allowed to defend themselves. But so am I. I’m just not wearing plates. Sad day here.
So, Screaming immediately upon police arrival, Threatening them, Screaming "Allahu Akbar", then brandishing a knife and chasing them with it got that officer put on leave for shooting a deranged maniac? Imagine being that woman and acting that way IN front of your kids and the whole world. Had this woman just talked to them calmly they most likely would had let her on her way and in the worst case brought her in to talk at the most and would had been let go that day.
"Extremely hard to watch". About an crazy mother and her children taking an walk, and the mother have an knife in her hand? No, it's not extremely hard to watch. Hope the children will get an normal mother/family that gives the children respect and love. 🤨
And with her mental state, she was quite apt to become so scared someone would hurt her kids, that she would have killed them herself to protect them from being hurt. That may sound very odd, but mothers with severe post partum depression do that horribly often.
I work in lock psych for over 20 years and looking at officers actions vs her actions, they absolutely did not have a choice. Staff at facility I work for attend training, de-escalation techniques year round, assisting with and trying to calm person down, talk with them, reassure them but we have to take action once the patient becomes physically violent. Sadly, officers had to take the threat down. She could've easily murdered her children with her paranoia, hallucinations and grandiose delusions. Just as one woman who murdered all five of her kids and even told her husband she felt this way. I can't remember date but quite some years ago.
Police officers were right, there was no police brutality, they tried to talk to her and she attacked them, I'm sad for the kids, but the officers need what they had to do to protect themselves.
In my opinion I don't think those children were in a safe environment being with their mother. She was a ticking time bomb and who knows what she would of or could of ended up doing to them if they were still in her care.
How much time would it take for her to point the knife at one of her own children? If this woman were left alone with these two poor kids, who knows what atrocity this unstable person would have committed? Blaming a cop is way too easy.
Why would you "hate to admit it"? If you go into scenarios assuming police are in the wrong, and then you have to admit if they're right, that's called bias.
What is strange is that, she married a pastor (I presume that means Christian Pastor), but she screams " Allahu Akbar" multiple times and told her children "Don't be afraid to die" while she laid dying on the ground.
Thank you for addressing mental health and the actions of officers in the line of duty. They only have seconds to react and I for one have to say if you have to pull your gun and sim you better be ready to shoot. Because at that point your life is in your own hands
The poor kids! Zoey even stepped in to try to calm her and help the police to de escalate the situation. I’m sorry they were raised into a cult. Hopefully whatever guardian(s) they are given keep them safe to the very best of their ability!
These scenarios were great examples of how the officers need to respond quickly under pressure. I do advocate for more mental health awareness but I also believe it is very important for all to know they need to comply with all orders from an officer. I pray this video brings awareness to all.
Honestly the police didn't do anything wrong for real.. she did all off that pain for real, if she talk normally with the police, Honestly they'll help her with that little kids, for real. I'm very sorry for that kids losing there mum, so earlier ❤💔😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's like these drugged up people with knives think they are invulnerable, but many don't live to see they are not. I wasn't going to watch this but I am glad I did.
Thank you for bring context to this (first) case. I saw the early released clips of this encounter, and it was haunting. You are correct, there are no winners here. Sad indeed. I pray for the children, the officers, and the bystanders. The second case was clearly self defense for the officers.
Poor children were born to a mother with severe mental illness, truelly unfortunate, hopefully those kids will be found a loving and caring family to take care of them.
Sage was insane and needed mental health help. These officers did the only thing they could do to protect their self. That woman even yelled out to her kids not to be afraid to die she was loonier than a tune.
i dont understand why people think the police were in the wrong what would you do if someone charges at you with a knife? defend your self or let them stab you until you die painfully and slowly from blood loss.
Exactly, there are no “winners” here. They really tried to help. Someone in the midst of a psychotic episode is difficult, if not impossible to reason with, let alone when a psychotic individual is in a heightened and agitated state. This is incredibly sad for absolutely everyone involved, the children, the family and the officers there that day. I hope that everyone is ok and is able to get the ongoing support that they need.
My heart shattered when I heard that little angel cry out "stop". I can't imagine what was going through their minds watching this happen to their last parent.
The title should be renamed to paranoid schizo loses her life believing she was in danger. There should be no reason you come at a cop with a knife. I don’t care what mental issues you have.
@@lesleyhughes3174So you’re saying it’s not a mental issue? Yeah, it’s perfectly sane for a person to charge at the cops with a knife in a Jihad rage. 😂
Those poor babies. She was clearly not in her right mind but I can't see what else the cops could have done. As incredibly sad as this is it doesn't seem to be a miscarriage of justice . I hope those girls are able to have a happy and healthy life eventually. I know it won't be easy.
So the woman clearly had a mental breakdown and becaume absolutely insane and paranoid. Then lashed out at law enforcement that went there to help her while she endangered her kids.
3:55 how tf is this police brutality?? The cops were trying to de-escalate the situation & she was shouting & then charged at an officer with a knife. I swear to god these ppl don't know what they're talking about.
It was terrible for the children to have seen that
I hope that they get the kids counseling or therapy after that!
The kids need counseling because they live with her and probably witness that behavior often.
They are right on that line where they will probably remember it all
You're absolutely right about that, @manulemoine924, considering that children inevitably suffer the most in situations like this!

Yes, I totally agree with you on that assessment. She had no right to be in charge of these girls with that lack of responsibility you could see via her actions pulling the kids and yelling at the officers in front of officers like that. That’s not love.
Someone left her like that with her kids and didn’t help out, as she seemed lost and frazzled, then paranoid about everyone wanting to harm her and the kids. The kids should not have been with her.
For real. This situation was only going to end in tragedy. I'm sorry she's dead but thank God the children weren't physically harmed.
Sad but I think the cops did all they could do.
roxannesmith Cops did all they could ????? Really ???? Is that all they could do is kill her ???? they had tasers why not use them to stop her ??? OOOOH yeah is more fun for cops to kill some one !!!
You kidding?? They tase her early without pointing guns at her and everyone is safe. They point guns at the mentally ill woman and let her chase them then yes, they had already lost control.
@@1physicsthey did taze her. Problem is tazers are commonly ineffective with subjects who are mentally ill or on drugs. They don't perceive pain or experience shock the same.
No BS, I'm curious - if someone is chasing you with a knife, saying they're gonna k!ll you and your tazer doesn't work on her, what's your next move?
@@1physicsshe had a knife. No the cops didn't want to kill her. She was not listening. Due to her mental state. The cop had a taser out. He was showing her mercy by even having that taser. Both cops should've their guns out. A knife is a lethal force situation.
They should’ve tased her way before she charged at them imo
Omg this is so sad! Her kids had enough sense to say stop. And if she had listened to her child she could still be here. Man I feel for those kids and the officers. Especially the kids
@@watchmejumpstart69 I don't know who the children were talking too, I just heard them say STOP!!
@@watchmejumpstart69they clearly say stop and it's basically to both sides so the mom should have listened and still heard her child to calm down as the cops were not doing anything
Her kids were yelling at the police.
@@wlhjr77 Her kids were toddlers. Of course they're going to yell at the police, they were likely well on their way to being brainwashed into the same radical islamic nonsense she believed. They were young enough to likely forget about this eventually, and they'll be far better off without that insane woman in their lives.
@@wlhjr77as any child would in defense of their mother
It's totally crazy that somebody would blame those cops thank God her children are away from her that's all I have to say
Those same people would be saying why the cops didn't do anything if they stabbed or shot others. The hypocrisy is amazing.
Those kids are better off. They were probably only hours away from being drowned in a bathtub to "Protect them".
@@guyonbench you honestly never know! Whatever she had going on, she was clearly in the midst of a psychotic break. And people are obviously not themselves during that time. They are definitely not fit to take care or children while that’s happening. It’s so sad either way. No child should ever witness that.
I'm sure Allah is treating her very well
I don't know about you but I was absolutely terrified she was gonna hurt the kids. This was not a failure of LE at all. It is another failure of our lack of mental health care in the US. My son was a victim of it, too. There was no help for him without insurance. I miss him. My only child.
Is that just a neighborhood lady who came out at the kid's screaming? Thanks, ma'am for being there for a stranger's children. It does take a village, people. 😉
So sorry 🙏🏻
People blaming the cops are actual psychopaths
She’s absolutely insane she didn’t care if her kids got hurt cops did the right thing.
She's obviously mentally ill. She thinks she's saving her children.
Very true
It's mental illness
@islamreligionofmindset5040 Yes, a demon called islam. She's clearly been brainwashed into radical islamic terrorism (probably by her late husband). Glad she took the asphalt challenge before she hurt someone else, or her children.
yep, you knew how this woman was thinking. and you're the judge. of taking someone's life let me pray for your evil soul for its soiled your life is the only one that counts.
The police did everything they could, most likely a Schizophrenic mother. Always stay rational and willing to learn and grow folks!
The world is not out to get you, but everyone is looking out for themselves and you cant fault them .... unless its at the expense of other people.
She was a drug addict
She’s holding a knife not a gun. There were a dozen ways to contain her without shooting her, starting with the taser.
@@jakestroll6518they did use their taser. It didn’t work. Are cops supposed to let themselves be killed by an insane person?
@@jakestroll6518 taser deployment at 4:52 right before the gunshots, guess what? the taser isn't a magic tool to instantly subdue them
piraka cops did NOT do everything to stop her, cops only response was to kill her in cold blood !!! those kids will be tramatized the rest of their lives,, 2 more into the mental health problem !! !
"Don't be afraid to die..." What a terrible motto to promote value of life with while litterally letting down your own childrens and scarring them. What cowardice and irresponsibility.
Thank you for giving a sensitive but honest and fair explanation of what happened and why.
How horrible! Those poor babies. I pray they are OK now.
They arent, but there is a LOOOT of potential for them to be ok .. eventually.
Prayer is useless, but sympathy is a recognized gesture, which I would extend to the officer who had no choice but to fire upon the crazed attacker. May that officer too get the help and support needed.
I remember this one, well. It's absolutely heartwrenching for everyone involved, but those poor cops are NOT to blame here!
In this case it's clear that she was not in her right mind, and she clearly charged the officer with a knife. The officers avoided using force as long as they could. I don't understand how anyone could fault the officers in this case. Very tragic and sad all the way around 😢
poor kids.......................this was just so sad on all levels
The one side opposing the officers: "There is other ways they could have handled this situation!"
How else would you handle a situation where someone wielding a knife is running at you....
people really siding with the woman with a knife? LITERALLY charging at the police, literally shown and yelling random stuff in front of her children and say police brutality? Better to have those children not with her anymore at least so they dont copy her actions
She wasn't gunned down, the police did what they had to do..
She literally was gunned down. She was shot. That's gunned down.
@@jeremy5602 Sometimes being shot to death is murder and sometimes it isn't, the term gunned down in this case implies murder..
@@briancleveland6115 No, it doesn't. The literal definition is "to shoot someone with a gun".
@@jeremy5602
Gunned down
used to describe a gun-related homicide, usually used in reference to an enemy or a friend
I completely agree! The cops did everything they could to stop her without hurting her.
"There were no winners that day"... Are you serious? In which part did this stuff suddenly become a game? Ridiculous thing to say.
the lady was insane. Justified
As are you, typical US reaction
She was crazy.
@@lesleyhughes3174how is that a typical US reaction? She was crazy.
@@kylecolbert8213bro ur chillin these people have there own issues pay no mind to the weirdos in the comments 🤣
@PutyWoolmfao. Just by looking at your past comments you are either a troll, mentally unhinged or possibly both.
Mentally ill or not, the Officers HAVE A RIGHT to defend themselves and each other. Same as you and I.
What people don't understand is that if an officer gets incapacitated in any way shape or form that gives the criminal access to his weapons. Not just what's on his person but also the assault rifles that are in the vehicle the vehicle itself that's outfitted with cages and bars. That officer has a lot he has to protect it other than just his life and the one in his immediate area. If the suspect would get away with any of those other weapons or combination of it could be catastrophic including the body armor
Absolutely! I agree with you 100% Most people don't think about this either especially the ones that would say the cops are wrong here. Cops were definitely not wrong here. I would have done the same here as the officer. But, officers don't carry assault rifles. That might be the only thing I disagree with you on. Assault rifles are illegal.
@@BigBabyJane Most people don't think in general.
Cops don't carry assault rifles in their vehicles
@@jeremy5602 yes they do!
@@BigBabyJane am I seeing something that you're not being? Those are automatic rifles that they carry in their vehicles! Take a look at them the next time they have them out.
This made me so sad. There’s was nothing they could do. Those babies will suffer forever.
Those kids are better off without her.
I wonder what she was going to do walking around with her kids and a knife in her hand if the police hasn't been called.
yeah, I suspect that she would have aimed her crazy at the kids soon enough
As soon as she started up with the snackbar stuff, there was only one conclusion possible.
the children's loss of their mother is nothing compared to what mignt have happened to them when they grow up under the care of their mother. Must have been a blessing in disguise.
Thank you for showing these with honesty and common sense. Most of the main population lack this.
Imagine your mom saying “don’t be scared to die” as she’s dying from something so crazy. That’s one of the most f’d up core memories you could ever have.
What a freak! She needed to be hospitalized in a mental health facility. 🤦♀️
She was in fear of something to be carrying a large knife around....sad on so many levels. The law had to protect themselves, too. RIP 🙏🏾
Could anyone on that police team have known her personally ? Did they investigate ? I guess I'll see what comes at the end
@@spotemgotem85 She did seem to have problems? Glad her kids ok . Sad story .
@@angh2008 kids will never be OK the cops killed their mother and created two more mental people !!! DUUUHH!!!!

@@spotemgotem85A lot of people don't have "problems" or do drugs! 😊🇺🇸
Nothing good ever starts with "allahu akbar"
feel bad for the kids
Feel bad for the bats*
Me too, they unfortunately had her as a mother.
Fun fact. “Neutralize the threat” does not mean KILL. The fact that officers are trained to shoot upper center mass is insane. A leg shot may still be fatal. However much higher survival rate. And as stated in the video. Officers are allowed to defend themselves. But so am I. I’m just not wearing plates. Sad day here.
Very sad, but also a very true and informative video.
So, Screaming immediately upon police arrival, Threatening them, Screaming "Allahu Akbar", then brandishing a knife and chasing them with it got that officer put on leave for shooting a deranged maniac? Imagine being that woman and acting that way IN front of your kids and the whole world. Had this woman just talked to them calmly they most likely would had let her on her way and in the worst case brought her in to talk at the most and would had been let go that day.
The officers in all three stories, though tragic, acted correctly.
"Extremely hard to watch".
About an crazy mother and her children taking an walk, and the mother have an knife in her hand?
No, it's not extremely hard to watch. Hope the children will get an normal mother/family that gives the children respect and love. 🤨
That’s sad. But those kids were head level with that huge knife she kept waving around.
And with her mental state, she was quite apt to become so scared someone would hurt her kids, that she would have killed them herself to protect them from being hurt. That may sound very odd, but mothers with severe post partum depression do that horribly often.
@@corbinhbucknerjr558I think she even said something along the lines of that before she got shot. Regardless, what had to be done got done.
@@corbinhbucknerjr558I thought the same :(
I work in lock psych for over 20 years and looking at officers actions vs her actions, they absolutely did not have a choice. Staff at facility I work for attend training, de-escalation techniques year round, assisting with and trying to calm person down, talk with them, reassure them but we have to take action once the patient becomes physically violent.
Sadly, officers had to take the threat down. She could've easily murdered her children with her paranoia, hallucinations and grandiose delusions. Just as one woman who murdered all five of her kids and even told her husband she felt this way. I can't remember date but quite some years ago.
Awesome video. This is factual evidence of why and how this stuff happens... some people live in ther own world though.
Agree.
Depression is real. I deal with it yesterday I was told that I may have cancer. I feel for both the officers as well as the other’s involved.
Anyone who was shot 7 times then gets right back up and charging the officer again...they are obviously on drugs.
Not drugs, just not sane in any sort of way
Police officers were right, there was no police brutality, they tried to talk to her and she attacked them, I'm sad for the kids, but the officers need what they had to do to protect themselves.
In my opinion I don't think those children were in a safe environment being with their mother. She was a ticking time bomb and who knows what she would of or could of ended up doing to them if they were still in her care.
If you never worked with these people you don’t have a clue
@@katrinawhisken duh that's why I started my comment off with "In my opinion". Expert👍🏼
That's not your opinion, that's an objective fact. I wish he hadn't said "in my opinion..." so much in the video.
@@jeremy5602 ty 💯
Crazy woman. She just traumatized her kids, not the police. Administrative leave for that is hilarious.
She would have killed a cop or a social worker, possibly her kids. It was the only outcome that day.
It's obvious she was going to raise those kids as terrorists. Kudos to police to put her out of her misery and saving the lives of two children.
Feel bad for those kids 😢😢😢
those poor kids man, not many videos I skip over but this is one of them, that was just too hard to watch those poor innocent kids experience that
Even if a mental health advocate had been there, I don't think it would have helped much considering her state of mind. What a sad event on all sides.
People seem to think psychologists have magical powers that cure psychosis and turn deadly weapons into plush toys
How much time would it take for her to point the knife at one of her own children? If this woman were left alone with these two poor kids, who knows what atrocity this unstable person would have committed? Blaming a cop is way too easy.
Did not expect this video to make me as sad as it did. The little kids absolutely broke my heart!!!
Every case here was so sad.
I wonder if drugs were involved.
Sage got a chance and warnings many of us don’t get!!! I hate to admit it but the police were right in this case. They gave her multiple warnings.
Why would you "hate to admit it"? If you go into scenarios assuming police are in the wrong, and then you have to admit if they're right, that's called bias.
This is so sad. I hope the kids now and when they grow up don't hold it against the officers who defended themselves. I hope the best for the kids.
Both her kids knew she wasn’t safe and tried to stop her and then distanced themselves from her. Such a tragic situation for all of them.
What is strange is that, she married a pastor (I presume that means Christian Pastor), but she screams " Allahu Akbar" multiple times and told her children "Don't be afraid to die" while she laid dying on the ground.
Thank you for addressing mental health and the actions of officers in the line of duty. They only have seconds to react and I for one have to say if you have to pull your gun and sim you better be ready to shoot. Because at that point your life is in your own hands
Why aren’t they concerned about the children? they are going to have so much trauma and none of them even stood with them
Nice way to mess up your kids for life. Total justified the cops were doing their best
😢😢the police officer did his job sorry for her demise
did u hear what she screamed to her kids? she said "don't b afraid to die"... 😲 ... WTF...
The poor kids! Zoey even stepped in to try to calm her and help the police to de escalate the situation. I’m sorry they were raised into a cult. Hopefully whatever guardian(s) they are given keep them safe to the very best of their ability!
That poor kid who was brave enough to step before their mom and a cop and yell to stop is amazing, I hope they both heal from this
These scenarios were great examples of how the officers need to respond quickly under pressure. I do advocate for more mental health awareness but I also believe it is very important for all to know they need to comply with all orders from an officer. I pray this video brings awareness to all.
How is someone charging at you yelling god know what with a knife then shooting that person police brutality. Dude was running for his life
Honestly the police didn't do anything wrong for real.. she did all off that pain for real, if she talk normally with the police, Honestly they'll help her with that little kids, for real. I'm very sorry for that kids losing there mum, so earlier ❤💔😭🙏🏾🙏🏾
A very, very sad situation. Those poor babies will are hopefully young enough they will not remember this incident.
It's like these drugged up people with knives think they are invulnerable, but many don't live to see they are not. I wasn't going to watch this but I am glad I did.
Thank you for bring context to this (first) case. I saw the early released clips of this encounter, and it was haunting. You are correct, there are no winners here. Sad indeed. I pray for the children, the officers, and the bystanders. The second case was clearly self defense for the officers.
Poor children were born to a mother with severe mental illness, truelly unfortunate, hopefully those kids will be found a loving and caring family to take care of them.
All kids deserve parents but not all parents deserve kids.
Sage was insane and needed mental health help. These officers did the only thing they could do to protect their self. That woman even yelled out to her kids not to be afraid to die she was loonier than a tune.
i dont understand why people think the police were in the wrong what would you do if someone charges at you with a knife? defend your self or let them stab you until you die painfully and slowly from blood loss.
Exactly, there are no “winners” here.
They really tried to help. Someone in the midst of a psychotic episode is difficult, if not impossible to reason with, let alone when a psychotic individual is in a heightened and agitated state.
This is incredibly sad for absolutely everyone involved, the children, the family and the officers there that day.
I hope that everyone is ok and is able to get the ongoing support that they need.
The true horror & distress of those poor Officers knowing they’d have to shoot the mother & that guy 😢 I hope they have recovered ok. 🥺
🙄🙄 ACAB
My heart shattered when I heard that little angel cry out "stop". I can't imagine what was going through their minds watching this happen to their last parent.
The title should be renamed to paranoid schizo loses her life believing she was in danger. There should be no reason you come at a cop with a knife. I don’t care what mental issues you have.
As if you know anything about that, or this, or any mental issues.
Tazer should have been used, not the gun. That was the issue. Should never have been done.
These American clowns are always so ready to type before they think and to defend the joke of police force they have.
@@lesleyhughes3174 A knife is a deadly weapon ever heard of the 21 foot rule?
@@lesleyhughes3174So you’re saying it’s not a mental issue? Yeah, it’s perfectly sane for a person to charge at the cops with a knife in a Jihad rage. 😂
Sad for the children to have a mom like that 😢
Those poor babies. She was clearly not in her right mind but I can't see what else the cops could have done. As incredibly sad as this is it doesn't seem to be a miscarriage of justice . I hope those girls are able to have a happy and healthy life eventually. I know it won't be easy.
So the woman clearly had a mental breakdown and becaume absolutely insane and paranoid. Then lashed out at law enforcement that went there to help her while she endangered her kids.
Those poor kids, poor officers. This is so very, very sad.
GOOD JOB COPS...NOW LETS FOCUS ON KIDS MENTAL HEALTH COZ THEY'VE SEEN A LOT!
POOR KIDS and kudos cops
The police did what they needed to do to protect themselves. The women had a terrible reaction that caused her death
Sad but TRUE 😢
We know that
Only bk ppl and liberals would defend the suspect actions
3:55 how tf is this police brutality?? The cops were trying to de-escalate the situation & she was shouting & then charged at an officer with a knife. I swear to god these ppl don't know what they're talking about.
I’m surprised how much she was still yelling after being shot and then didn’t survive
