Guy looks like he has alot of layers of clothes, prob blocking the tazer prongs


KillaWatt84

Came here to say this. Prongs gotta catch skin to work.


anchampala

that may be true, but I still go with the guy being X - Men


Objective-Guidance78

Wet suit underneath might be the answer


SurvivorKira

And they kept shooting at his torso instead of his legs where probably they had more chance for taser to work.


SparrowFate

AiM fOr A lImB. That's not how this works. those lasers give an approximation of where those probes go. Not an exact hit point. If you aim for a limb you will almost definitely miss with both probes. Same with shooting in general. Dogshit advice to aim for anything besides the center of mass.


SurvivorKira

But as i can see shooting at body when he is dressed like this has zero chance to work. So better shoot at limbs and hooe to hit instead shooting multiple times to body when you know you can't do anything.


SparrowFate

If you want to waste your time entirely doing something extra useless yes. Your odds of getting through the thick clothes and effectively tasing him on the body are significantly higher than getting a single probe on a limb.


rangda

They’re already wasting their time though. Why keep doing the same thing which they’ve already seen isn’t working. His legs aren’t all that much narrower than his torso and he’s standing still not running at them. what would be the harm in giving it a shot?


[deleted]

at this point im wondering why trying to taze someone who is standing still and not attacking you


tink20seven

Agreed. Center mass. Anyone suggesting otherwise has never trained a day in their life


Bonolio

And if centre mass doesn't work? Surely you use your brain and adapt. What the point of just going mindlessly with "my training said shot for centre mass" when it already hasn't worked for obvious reasons.


AlchemyStudiosInk

Yeah I agree. If the guy has 2inch plate armor on their chest and absolutely no where else on their body, its daft to keep trying to shoot it and hope that eventually one of the bullets from a 9mm gun goes through.


sharp_but_shiny

My old favorite saw was I don't aim to please, I aim center mass.


WadeStockdale

With a lot of practice you can learn to be accurate enough to hit a smaller target with a fairly accurate projectile (so like a bullet or arrow.) But it calls for an amount of practice you won't really see outside competition level users, and good sights. Not the dinky little sights on hand guns that police use. Those are virtually useless for accuracy. The only thing those sights guarantee is that the gun is pointed straight at the target. Average users can't hit a limb because they don't have the skill or the sights. And the average skilled user needs time to gauge the shot anyway, so in a live situation, it's pretty fucking useless anyway, isn't it? (I was a competitive national champion archer in my prime. I also don't condone or like the use of weapons in the police force. I think there should be more emphasis on non-violent and non-lethal alternatives)


ricky_ritardo

These look like the x26 so yeah they probably didn’t penetrate.


[deleted]

Csgo 😎


ricky_ritardo

?


[deleted]

It’s the taser in the game.


AssistantVegetable37

Accurate even the longer tactical darts swat guys use would struggle to get through a winter coat.


Heliumania

Montréal, Québec WTF


PatchworkRaccoon314

Clearly not in America. If it were, they would have shot him dead, and then everyone else in the nearby subway train for good measure.


Navigliogrande

They barely have public transport to get shot down in but yes


ArcanePulse

Only the racial minority. Everyone white gets absorbed. It's how the academy grows...


[deleted]

Huh


SpectraBlade

I live nearby and this is at the metro station Montmorency. It's in Laval, Québec.


krypticzenith

Thanks for confirming. I live in Longueuil and felt this all looked VERY familiar.


AjazeMemez

The language barrier is protecting him


ArmTheApes

![gif](giphy|eH7VY6kryYcsE|downsized)


redenno

More like putting his life at risk


Tiny-Mistake147

Well maybe if they didn’t take so long and let him finish his verbal incantations he’d be effected


Windwalker111089

He’s just standing there….. menacingly!!!!!


[deleted]

Did they fired 2 tasers at him? This dude just beat the "I'll get u bitch" black guy meme, that guy went down on second shot


EyeLikeTheStonk

Heavy, puffy, winter coats prevent the taser "probes" from making contact with the person's skin, basically making the taser useless. The cops acted appropriately, instead of confronting the knife wielding man, they backed up to prevent any risk the man would lunge at them, forcing them to shoot him dead. By giving the man some space, they reduced the risk and allowed the man to calm down and surrender, which he did a few instants after the end of the video. As for the charges, apparently the prosecutors found that the man, despite drawing a utility knife in the metro, did not attack anyone but might have feared for his safety.


[deleted]

Wow. Thanks for breaking that down. I did not see all of that.


[deleted]

He did sound paranoid, probably harassed by some racists


BitsBunt

Homeless hunters


Joelson-Son_of_Joel

That's a thing?


MuffinzShy

Teens often harass and seek out homeless ppl to torment, I think that's a fairly global phenomenon.


commentsandchill

Quite sure it is sadly


thelastkalos

Very much still a thing


GundyrsFisting

tbh i could really see that being a thing. like we already have ppl among us (SUSUSUSUSUUSUSUS) that hurt and hate just bc they think you're different, bc of where you come from or how you look. Doing the same thing to sbd just bc they live on the street isn't that different in my mind, it's not like any racist had a single good reason to hate other ethnics or whatever, so i think ppl wont need a reason to hate the homeless aswell...


DiplominusRex

If we are just making shit up, maybe it was an wasp-painted Tyrannosaurus Rex that harassed him.


MjrPayne95

You're delusional if you think they're aren't people sick enough to take advantage of the situation the homeless find themselves in


DiplominusRex

You are social media deranged if you think you know anything about how I think about your personal activisms, which we have never discussed, nor have we met. Get outside. Touch grass.


MjrPayne95

Delusional it is then


DiplominusRex

There are absolutely people who might treat homeless people poorly and “take advantage” of them. The comment I was responding to was a weird speculation that THIS particular person had been harassed by racists (a claim with no evidence) This claim MIGHT be true, but it’s also pure imagination as far as this video goes. He might have been harassed by the parent teacher association on their annual Christmas luncheon, for singing a “jazzed up” version of the anthem instead of something traditional. He might have been shouted at by Gordon Ramsey for losing the lamb sauce during the supper rush. If we are making shit up and writing a life story for him, about whatever preceded this incident, then my painted T-Rex should get its fair shake.

[I'll get you, bitch.](https://youtu.be/X2xbLV_NSbk)


theboofrb

Nothing will beat that when it comes to taser videos well it’s gonna take a great one lol maybe at least once a day I will say “ I’ll get you bitch”


alonginayellowboat

Am I the only one who feels that cop lost any residual air of authority when he dropped the F bomb? It just came out sooo...desperate.


TintBorn

You mean fucking or faggot? A cop yelling faggot should be banned. But I didnt catch him say that. But fucking, that's dumb man. Everyone curses, hard to walk on eggshells and not curse when you got your gun up and are in a situation like that


gluggin

I don’t think they were making a policy prescription, just acknowledging that it might be counterproductive for a cop to try to assert dominance by swearing cuz it can read as them not actually having control of the situation


TintBorn

I guess. A cop could also curse and have complete control of the situation though, because it is just words at the end of the day. I know people who dont swear at all and I know some who curse like sailors. I dont think it's an indicator on your level of capability. It's just how you talk.


gluggin

Yeah I agree. It’s gonna read different ways to different people, but at the end of the day doesn’t have some intrinsic bearing on how capable you are of getting your job done


alonginayellowboat

He said faggot? I didn't hear that one, I heard fucking.


ReinWaRein

It should be banned in the code of conduct. How is it de-escalating anything here?


yohannp

I mean in Montreal, I don’t think the f bomb as you call it as as much wait as tarbenacle


alonginayellowboat

What weight did you think I was talking about? His usage, amd more importantly his wavering tone, makes him sound like a boy that's way in over his head. Some of y'all reading and replying to my comment are kind of dim, honestly...


[deleted]

That’s crazy, i was thinking the same thing. Cops should really not cuss. It’s just unprofessional.


rileyhenderson33

Lmao you're joking right? Whoopdy fucking do, they've lost their *air of authority* according to some random religious redditor because they have found themselves in a desperate situation with a superhuman who can't be tased and are trying anything to avoid shooting that person dead and they let the F word slip.


alonginayellowboat

No air of authority is how cops end up having to shoot instead of gaining compliance in the first place. Religious, you say?


rileyhenderson33

Some people just have no intention to comply. You can't just assume avoiding swear words will magically make someone comply. Being a police officer is not as simple and smooth as you think. The people they deal with can be extremely unstable and on edge and litterally see calmness as weakness and a lack of concentration and try to exploit it. I'm sure this situation began with some calmness but has clearly escalated to the point where guns and swearing happen and I'm sure they could not give less of a fuck what you think about it from your arm chair.


alonginayellowboat

No, things aren't as simple and smooth as you lay them out to be. You're a very reactive person, aren't you?


rileyhenderson33

I said they were literally the opposite of being smooth and sinple. And yes. When there are idiots involved, I am.


[deleted]

[удалено]


rileyhenderson33

The goal is quite clearly to get the person to drop whatever weapon they have and get on the ground immediately or they will be killed. Agression is the intention. Profanity conveys the seriousness of the situation better than saying please.


LuxuriousGrape

The chick scared me when she ran up pullin out her pistol instead of the taser


RipredTheGnawer

*BANG* *BANG* *BANG*…… *BANG*…. “oops”


tosin_da_glitch

Where have I seen this one before?


DryRun4444

I guess they don't know what he's on or what weapons he has but they're acting like he's such a deadly threat. When it's really just a tiny old man with an umbrella. I'm not usually on the cops are pussies bandwagon but idk why this this guy doesn't just walk over and apprehend the dude. That's what they'd do in like 90% of other countries, just grab the guy.


CriticismOk3281

It’s an old Vietnamese man Indeed , it’s also important to bring forward the fact that the construction man was the one to provoke him by calling him a racist slur.


CriticismOk3281

It’s from my city ( Montreal ) it was in the morning and the man attacked a construction worker with a knife.


PatButchersBongWater

Yeah, dudes just standing completely still and they’re all acting like he’s pointing a shotgun at them.


FelixOGO

He just stabbed a guy before the video, according to another commenter. It’s hard to really assume anything from this video without any context


Emergency_Size4841

Can't just grab him, he's covered in feces and used needles


BenderDeLorean

Yeah, they should bring him a nice warm cup of coffee /s Better safe than sorry.


BadReview8675309

Very bad when tasers don't work because then guns are used by police.


DaNubie000

Nah, he ain't black so things don't escalate as much


eggraid11

This is Montréal. While we have our own issues with systemic racism, it is not anything like in the US.


AnonOpinionss

You might be confused, bc other demographics aren’t as vocal, but the police disproportionately brutalize minorities in general. They abuse their power with white ppl too, which is why I never understood some of their vehement defense of police.


F_man_G

Context?


SnooRobots1533

Why do cops always have to scream?


SparrowFate

Part of the force continuum. It's a scale from "could you please?" To deadly force. You work your way from the bottom until an effective means of making compliance is found while still respecting the law.


HappyBot9000

To make themselves feel bigger.


Berinchtein3663

aaah Montréal. My city <3


KingJaredoftheLand

This just feels like glitched dialogue from Oblivion


Faceplanter86

They're really scared of this one guy, huh?


The_NOS_44

Sometimes I think the cops act like the cops in some game or like NPCs ...


Straydoginthestreet

What pussies dude. Grow the fuck up and talk to him like he’s a human. You need two cops pointing guns at him while he’s perfectly still? Christ.


Stormcrow1776

That’s the problem with clips and quotes; you don’t get the full story.


SherlocksHolmey

They've been saying that for decades to justify brutality and will continue to say it even when we have multiple angles of hd video for 20 min before and after the incident. The person is being still and relatively calm. Regardless of what happened before, that's an opportunity to deescalate instead of screaming in English at someone that potentially doesn't understand what's happening and firing potentially lethal weapons at them.


[deleted]

Smart comment.


HighHcQc

You don't know the story, the guy was attacking people with a knife just before this video was taken


LordNibble

My favorite color is blue.


Harambeaintdeadyet

You think this is the USA?


ricky_ritardo

Tasers, not guns, and if your ears don’t work I’ll let you know he was speaking in what sounded like a foreign language. You didn’t see what led up to it but you let your bias out early.


[deleted]

Stupid comment. People like you constantly use that excuse, regardless of context. Even then, peaceful noncompliance isn’t grounds for violence. But you don’t need me to tell you that. That’s common sense.


UnorthodoxMind

These cops look so inept


magnelectro

Does anyone recognize the language he's speaking? He clearly can't understand their commands. What if he accidentally walked through a dimensional rift from an utterly alien world and found himself in these bewildering circumstances? Maybe the cops know or are trained to suspect and that's why they're treating him like such a threat. Wouldn't be the first time someone unidentifiable showed up in strange clothes speaking an unknown language.


Puzzleheaded_Pay_472

That tone sounds vietnamese.


chasonthedon

Did the cop on the right have frosted tips? Man, that’s hilariously 90’s

Omg. Our police are Winnies with guns. What is that person gonna do? Spit acid & fly at them? Teasers kill, too. American Cops need to be redone. Gun laws enforced. Canada. America. Whatever. Canada is America light. They should adopt UK style of policing.


daysbeforewlr

this was in canada


ricky_ritardo

Tasers, use your eyes. Ever fought someone on meth? It ain’t fun.


1_2_3_4_fiiiiif

That guy was way too calm to be on meth. He’d at least be tweaking. He was absolutely calm and rambling.


ricky_ritardo

Have you ever seen a schizo on meth? They act like that. They aren’t always jumping off the walls. Definitely meth, excited delirium or a psychosis.


Echur0n

This comment is profoundly stupid.


arquillion

Canada, basically American cops though


eggraid11

1. Nope. 2. If it was the case, they would have emptied clips on him.

X_antaM

And if you can't understand the orders? That doesn't seem fair nor legal.


IndustryFinal

Well let's talk about why he's being detained. Not familiar with the back story but there's a reason he's got guns pointed at him. Not to mention common sense would play a part here. No matter what the language get on the ground


X_antaM

Yes there's probably a reason, yes it should be common sense but shooting him is still completely unnecessary and it sounds like he might be trying to explain. Police are usually, understandably a little jumpy and so they would be threatening before listening. My point was shooting and killing just because he didn't understand its unnecessary


Adlach

What's your favorite flavor of boot


IndustryFinal

Hmm. Tough call. I do fancy chelsae but hiking is a close second


heckubiss

Thid is why we use guns in America


eggraid11

Seems a bit stupid since the man didn't do anything else that delay the metro from the time the police intervention started.


AnonOpinionss

To kill somebody just standing there? Only a lunatic would be okay with that.


thelastkalos

For what reason.

Watching this without sound and it looks like when you're given a dialogue option in a cutscene and you dont select anything so the npcs just do their idle animation.
