Footage contradicts officers’ claims
that man approached officers in
aggressive manner
Adan Salazar
An officer with the Dallas Police Department is
facing major criticism after a home surveillance
camera captured him opening fire on a mentally
ill man without any provocation.
To make matters worse, police may have lied in
their report about what actually took place.
After an argument with his mother, Bobby
Gerald Bennett, 52, who suffers from paranoid
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, went out
into the middle of the street and began rolling
around in a swivel office chair.
Their neighbor, Maurice Bunch, reportedly told
Bennett’s mother, Joyce Jackson, not to call the
police, but Jackson had already made the call.

RAW: Dallas Cops Shoot …
“They said they would send special-trained
officers out,” Jackson said, according to a
Dallas Morning News report.
The entire affair was captured on a surveillance
camera mounted outside of Bunch’s front door.
Along with Bunch’s statements, the footage
seems to directly contradict the officers’ version
of events.
“What’s going on?” officers asked Bennett,
according to Bunch. “They were coming at him
and he just scooted his chair back. He stood up.
At that point, they drew their weapons and said,
‘Freeze.’ They may have said ‘Drop the knife.’”
Within 30 seconds of arriving, Officer Cardan
Spencer fired four shots at Bennett, who is
witnessed getting out of the chair and standing
perfectly still.
An arrest affidavit listed Officer Spencer as the
victim and claimed he and his partner were
responding to a “disturbance call about a man
carrying a knife…” It also says Bennett allegedly
told them, “You all are gonna need more officers
out here,” and claims he took “several steps
toward them with the knife raised in an
aggressive manner.”
However, Bunch says she never heard them say
anything to that effect and never saw a knife.
“That’s a lie,” he said. “They were trying to kill
him.”
The affidavit made sure to mention that Spencer
fired in fear for his and his partner’s safety.
Additionally, the officer’s stray bullets entered a
neighbor’s home near the altercation. “Had
someone been in that home, they could have
been shot as well or maybe killed,” Jackson
claimed.
Afterwards, Jackson was unable to see her son
in the hospital. “They said, ‘You don’t need to be
here. You son is under arrest for trying to hurt
police officers,’” Jackson said, according to
Dallas News. “I said, ‘What would you do if it
was your son?’” She was eventually permitted
to peek through the window and ensure her son
was still alive.
Robert Rogers, Spencer’s attorney, says the
officer had a good reason to shoot Bennett.
“The facts and circumstances known to Officer
Spencer at the time completely justify his
actions,” he said, adding, “Obviously there is
much more to this situation than that video.”
Officer Spencer, who’s been with the
department for 6 years, has been placed on
indefinite administrative leave pending an
investigation into his actions. His partner,
Christopher Watson, is not on leave.
Bennett’s mother told the Dallas Morning News
she wants justice for her son. “It’s the officers
that need something done to them,” she stated.
“This is not right. Any way I see this is wrong.”

This officer is facing, and i quote, "criticism". If you or i had
gunned down an unarmed, peaceful human we would be
facing much more than criticism.

The criminals are the American
Cops and the American
government and the whole
planet knows about it. America
is a country of psycopaths and
criminals. The American
government has always
attacked countries, invaded
countries to serve the jews and
to serve the Illuminati, they are
all demons. Those policemen
will pay for their actions
whether they believe it or not,
the times is near for this and
the whole world will crucify
them Jewish Style.

“The footage seems to directly contradict
the officers’ version of events”, – no it
doesn’t only “seem to”! There’s no doubt
about it! The cops lied. The police
version of events contradicts the FACTS
as plainly shown in the video. So why
write the story as if there is some doubt
about the video?
The fix is already in. The cops faked the
report, claiming there was a knife and
next proclaimed the magic words; “I was
in fear of my life and the safety of my
partner”. Those words are an automatic
victory for any cop in the USA. The judge
will dismiss all charges. The cops will be
promoted and given awards.
Funny that if a “civilian” shoots a cop, the
same standard does NOT apply,
although the civilian’s life really is in
danger from heavily armed, vicious,
murderous cops. NEVER CALL THE
COPS!!!!
