>Bodycamera footage released by Appleton police in Wisconsin show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting of a firefighter in May. The Outagamie County District Attorney said two Appleton police officers were justified in their shooting of Ruben Houston last month. The announcement comes after a thorough investigation into the incident outside valley transit. The shooting also left a firefighter dead, a police officer injured, and an innocent bystander with gunshot wounds. According to investigators, Houston opened fire on first responders after they came to his aid when he was found unresponsive on a Lamers transit bus. Body cam footage from Sergeant Christopher Biese, on the bus, shows paramedics tending to Houston who was being treated for an opioid overdose by giving him two shots of Narcan. Houston was then able to walk himself off of the bus where police officers and paramedics tried to talk him into seeking additional medical help but he continued to refuse.
>Sgt. Biese: "You have a bulge on your right side."
>Houston: "That's my phone."
>Sgt. Biese: "Don't reach for anything. Can I pat you down real quick?"
>Houston: "No, look man, I have a problem with officers touching me. I get nervous and stuff."
>It was just moments later, also caught on body cam, that Houston grabbed what has now been identified as a 380 semi-automatic weapon and fired two shots. Sgt. Biese and Officer Paul Christensen are the two who fired shots back at Houston. With Houston wounded and the shooting over, officers were able to take him into custody, where he later died at a local hospital. One of Houston's shots struck Officer Christensen and firefighter Mitch Llundgaard, who died from his injuries. Authorities believe Brittany Schowalter, who was used by Houston as a human shield was struck by the officer's gunfire.

Niggers..... Typical
Andrew Lee
We should genocide niggers.
Chase Baker
I enjoyed that one sheriff's refusal to carry Narcan or give it to any of his officers. He justified it by saying they do f carry epi-pens or inhalers, which save the lives of non low life scum, so why the fuck would they carry Narcan for these shitbags?

all american citizens should be given proper emergency medical assistance, it doesn't fucking matter if they're junkies or if they're going to go right back to using.

John Miller
Not the cops job dumbass. Call the paramedics. If they get there in time, good on them.
Nicholas Taylor
narcan is realllly cheap, that's why. also, unlike epinephrine, you can't kill someone by giving it to them on accident.
Christian Lopez
This but unironically.

Jackson Brooks
>what the fuck is wrong with niggers nothing. that's what they are.
Cooper Cruz
well we don't get to choose where our tax dollars go so that's a moot point. All citizens should be able to receive emergency care.
Robert Allen
This is just fucking infuriating.
I was talking about this with someone earlier. Obviously a responder is concerned with helping the person, but if you're looking them over and checking for bleeding and injury, you should also be seeing if they have any obvious weapons.
Jeremiah Phillips
the EMS guys seemed pretty young and depending on the state you work in you can be limited to what you're allowed to do. He was found in a bus seat so its not like they had much room to pat him down. Honestly the two cops questioning him did a pretty poor job, if you notice he had enough time to slowly telegraph his draw, rack the slide and shoot someone before either cop had their gun out. the fat cop just turns and runs.
Caleb Bennett
Yeah, you can't do a full body search on someone if they're sitting down and you need to work quick to get them back. The cops could have detained them and searched them prior to transport (because Narcan isn't a cure, it buys time to get to a hospital) . When I saw the video I noticed he clearly reached for his waistband and stepped back. It was obvious what was happening and it's too bad neither cop rushed him before he could draw. If this teaches anything then I hope it's a reminder for responders to be cautious and try to see what they're dealing with in full beyond the immediate medical emergency.
Leo Mitchell
In most shitholes fire and ems wear armor, hopefully the cucks in Appleton start after this.
Poor bastard had three kids and now one of them is going to curbstomp a nigger carjacker when he gets older
Elijah Martin
Why?
Grayson Walker
Did any of you morons even watch the video? Everything was fine until the cop started threatening to kidnap him and take him to the hospital against his will.
Fucking nu-Jow Forums bootlickers I swear.
Xavier Robinson
Go fuck yourself you hippie cunt This. I didn’t sign up to be a fucking medic. You want Narcan? Call an ALS rig not me.
Mason Rodriguez
This is why you only give enough narcan for respiration, but not actually get them awake and alert.
Colton Turner
Instead of Narcan they should give police heroin to inject overdosing people. Just finish them off.
>Everything was fine until the cop started threatening to kidnap him and take him to the hospital against his will
lmao what? they were asking if they could frisk him and he pulled a gun. he was also confused and drowsy, clearly not making logical decisions. He could have easily told them he had a gun on him but instead he just decided to shoot at them and the people around him. the fact that he shot one of the firemen shows how out of it he was.
Nolan King
if you want to pay for it, by all means.
Lincoln Price
go back

>apologizing for a nig who shot a fireman and used a woman as his human shield I want reddit to leave

whats interesting is that the cops had suppressed rifles in their patrol car, that's pretty forward thinking.
Liam Phillips
Why are there so many political threads on here today?
Sebastian Sanchez
Should there be armed guards for paramedics and firefighters
>better pat him down once hes up and kicking Haha what
Wyatt Gray
they were reasonably worried about him having needles on him. would be pretty shitty for one of the medics to get stuck with an aids needle on the trip to the ER.
the guy even says he doesn't know what he has on him (a lie) so its even more reasonable to want to frisk him.
Jeremiah Lee
Shooting videos are a staple of Jow Forums
Aaron Diaz
>druggies should continue to burden the system at the expense of the taxpayer nah fuck off m8
Easton Gonzalez
Hindsight is 20/20 but they had a full second of him pulling out the gun and racking a round in the chamber before he got any shots off.
>implying OD'd druggies aren't helping the EMS system by giving medics more practice
Jayden Evans
ive been on runs in the ghetto. usually if you're called, they're happy to see you. if they aren't happy to see you, you stay in the truck and call the cops.
Caleb Butler
GIVING THEM MORE PRACTICE SAVING DRUGGIES
Jace Hughes
Giving narcan at every stop they are unresponsive at even if we dont know if they are od'd isnt training us for anything buddy. >t emt
Jason Johnson
its not like you do CPR any differently on a druggie than you do a normal person.
Jackson Thomas
because if you don't fight like a motherfucker for equal access to shit like basic human rights and medical care for someone you don't care for then it's harder to fight for it when it's someone you do care for. If you think "oh but we can just get away with not giving rights to X group because they're a drain/they're from the wrong religion/they don't believe in the thing I believe in"- well guess what? Your guys aren't going to be in power all the time, and if someone else gets in they can pull the same shit. So, either you fight for the basic rights of everyone, no matter how much of a shitbag they are, or you find a comfy fascist state that aligns exactly with your beliefs and pray every morning and every night that the fascists will stay on your side if you lick their boots enough.
Ryan Walker
and how is this is any different from the boomer who thinks hes having a heart attack even though its heartburn? half your job is taking shit runs, deal with it.
Carter Reyes
Your personal feelings aside, emergency services are there to help people. Even if they don't think they need help or if their situation is one caused by blatant stupidity. Should EMS refuse to revive someone who has OD'd? If you say the answer is "yes" then what other calls fall into the "Tough shit, you deserve it" category? Someone running a generator inside their house, deep-frying a frozen turkey right next to the side of their house, driving recklessly and wrapping around a tree and getting pinned? Some examples. Are those people now denied taxpayer assets because they were idiots?
If you're a pessimist and think these people dying is doing society a favor then you'll probably also realize that others will take their place and in the end taxpayer money and assets still go to them. Obviously some patients are regulars and you know they use a revolving door at rehab (if they even do there). Other times may be a person getting hit with someone they didn't expect because it was laced or someone poisoned them. You're not there to judge, you're there to stabilize and do a job.
i remember like half the guys in my medic class were 'jaded' and jumped on the 'let them die' train after only a few months of ride time.

I generally agree with the sentiment but It's helpful to have because of the retarded shit that assholes are doing these days with their possessing stupid amounts of stupid shit like Fentynal just loose so you go to take a look through a guys shit and it goes through your gloves and shit.
Jaxson James
>If you say the answer is "yes" then what other calls fall into the "Tough shit, you deserve it" category? Anything where a reasonable person would know that your actions are likely to result in death or serious injury Yes, ODing on drugs counts.
>Someone running a generator inside their house, Yes
>deep-frying a frozen turkey right next to the side of their house, That's not likely to kill you, its just dumb
>driving recklessly and wrapping around a tree and getting pinned? S Only if they know for a fact that you were being reckless
>Are those people now denied taxpayer assets because they were idiots? All idiots should be denied all services. Eugenics is the way
Oliver Reyes
based and patriotpilled. there was a point in time where we recognized each other's common humanity regardless of politics. i wish we could go back to the time before disagreements on political principles were no longer just disagreements about politics, but instead a struggle between good and evil.

John Bell
Appleton Jow Forumsommando here. Can say that the community has responded quite a bit to help out his family which is cool. The area in a one mile radius of downtown is utter shit though. Scum fucks everywhere at that bus station and I wouldn't be caught dead there without at least a knife on me. It's a shame though since I have fond memories of biking to the library next to it with my family during the summers as a kid. I always pictured it as a safe town and for the most part it is, but there has been some nasty shit going on lately. See the Luna club shooting downtown right across from the PAC for that a few years back. It's probably just me getting older and being more cognizant of how dangerous some people can be, but I can't help feel like things are changing for the worse. There is a reason I have an AK in my closet. If anyone has any questions about the town or situation, let me know and I will do my best to answer them for you.
or we figure out how to discriminate based on something other than skin and start figuring out how to kill the micks or dagos- or christians, or gun owners, or people who jerk it to 2d porn, take your pick, we're good at discriminating
this guy right here. This is also exactly why believers in objectively obsolete pseudoscience used to justify racial and moral bullshit to target an arbitrary group like are unpatriotic shitfucks who don't deserve our respect or time

read the constitution or fuck off
also more importantly, if you want to look at the world like that, any kind of organized society beyond 120 people living in a village in an area with stable weather patterns ignores immutable factors of human nature, and spoiler alert we haven't done that in centuries because it impedes doing anything else

motherfucker you're the one contradicting decades of scientific research, the burden of proof is on you. Bring fucking anything.
What said. To add on to this, if you're the motherfucker supporting something universally beneficial and the other side takes that shit away- the majority is on your side, even if you don't agree with them otherwise. Either you make sure no one gets lined up against the wall or you invite the possibility that you or your side will be against the wall later.
Lucas Wood
>motherfucker you're the one contradicting decades of scientific research, the burden of proof is on you. Bring fucking anything. lol Okay, so if I bring any proof that, for example, whites are smarter than blacks, I win? Just want to make sure first.
Jeremiah Murphy
In EMT class we were taught that administering Narcan will wake the junkie wide awake after an OD. >Things to note 1. You just killed their 'high' 2. They are gonna be pissed. 3. Prepare the Posey straps. Depending on your protocol. .
Copanons please never let guard down when using narcan.
David Flores
More like "Don't try to be a tool of an authoritarian state because tools are expendable." I often see people advocating for killing others, restrictive laws put in place by the government, and all sorts of ethnic and social cleansing. Those people think they're going to be the next SS when in reality they're more likely to be the next SA if such a system became reality.
Julian Kelly
im not really a part of this argument but why would blacks being less intelligent be a reason to kill all of them?
Daniel Wilson
I don't think you realize what the stakes are faggot. It's already impossible for the right to win another election. This late stage democracy is a failed experiment. You rise up now and start killing shitskins before they kill you first. We don't have a choice. This is survival.
Nicholas Adams
As an EMT in Milwaukee this was hard to watch. A paramedic at my company had to transport the 2 month who was beaten to death a couple weeks ago and my partner drove up to Green Bay to transport the 11 month old that was burned in a fire started by a relative but it died before transport.
Sure, advocate for revolution and putting people against the wall just because they are different and you want to blame problems on them. But look to history and see that quite often, once the revolution has succeeded, many of those who aided in making it victorious are spun right around and pushed against that same pockmarked wall. You may feel pride in dying and being a small loss to make a larger goal succeed, but your memory will be one of being lumped right alongside your original "enemies" by the state.
Christopher Miller
You guys are the most underappreciated workers DESU. Don't know how y'all do it.
Oh I think I'm done. For every one time I save someone's life I do at least 30 hospice transports. The last decent call I had was 3 months ago for a guy who's testicles were seriously swollen to the size of his head then he started having a fucking stroke during transport. Turns out he had full body cancer and had no idea.
Jayden Hernandez
This user is correct.
Ryder Hernandez
>Sure, advocate for revolution and putting people against the wall just because they are different and you want to blame problems on them. Did you fucking read my post? When whites are minorities in their own countries, niggers arabs and spics WILL kill them. It's not even about blaming them for problems. It's about not turning into a slow burning genocide like south africa.
>But look to history and see that quite often, once the revolution has succeeded, many of those who aided in making it victorious are spun right around and pushed against that same pockmarked wall. We're literally already up against a wall you thick retard.
>You may feel pride in dying and being a small loss to make a larger goal succeed, but your memory will be one of being lumped right alongside your original "enemies" by the state. All I want is a future for my people and white children.
Mason Campbell
I can't even criticize the cops in this instance. What was going through their heads at that moment is probably what was going through literally everyone else's heads in this thread. Literally who the fuck would do something so retarded and morally disgusting as to try to kill the officers and medics that literally just saved your life and are just trying to make sure you're going to survive past the next 5 minutes.
>dad was an EMT for 15 years >his first call involving death was a SUV/van that had rolled over and killed all 6 occupants if I remember correctly You motherfuckers don't get paid enough
This entire incident could have been avoided by somebody among the several personnel there talking TO him, rather than AT him. The responsibilty lays on Houston, but nobody needed to die here.
Julian Evans
Based and freedom pilled. Rewatch the video. They told him that they were going to detain and search him regardless of his wishes as they ""felt"" he wasn't making safe decisions for himself. Only after they stated that did one of the officers start questioning him about the bulge on his right side. Its unfortunate that their power tripping ways cost that poor bystanding firefighter his life. If they'd simply let him go on his way all of this bloodshed would have been avoided.
Lucas Bailey
Good use of fire and maneuver, though.
Xavier Taylor
The point is why would you wait until he's fully conscious
>When whites are minorities in their own countries, niggers arabs and spics WILL kill them. When you fight for authoritarians who promise you the world, they'll kill you too once you've served your purpose.
