Father Calls Police for Help with Troubled Son, Body Cam Shows Cops Kill Him Instead

Free Thought Project – by Kory Watkins

If you knew the police were going to kill your child, would you call them?

On June 19 at 8:20 p.m., Gary Christian called local police on his son for “freaking out.”  Little did he know when they showed up, police would kill him.

What happened to negotiating? Police should be diffusers of situations rather than escalators. Our public servants should be willing to spend hours negotiating to save any life whatsoever.

Devin Scott, who was only 20 years young, could have been talked to and given a chance. It’s situations like these where even though he had a bad history and he had a knife, we must set a higher standard for saving a human life at all cost.

The Kingman Police Department investigated the officer-involved shooting and turned their investigation over to the Mohave County Attorney’s Office. They claim Scott was advancing on him aggressively, but if you watch the video below, police are the ones who are advancing.

All of the officers have been cleared following the investigation.

Lake Havasu City Police have released 911 tapes of the officer involved shooting and body cam footage of them rushing in and killing Scott.

“Get away from me, I’ve got your kid,” Christian said to Scott on the recording. There is a scuffle and the phone goes dead.

When dispatchers called back and Scott answered the phone, he told them to “call off officers.”

“He overreacted and called 911,” Scott said.

“Ok, what is your name,” the dispatcher asked.

“He’s deliberately trying to get the cops called, please stop – Dad [expletive] stop, why did you just – No, you’re not in distress,” Scott said. “Can you call off?” he asked.

“You do not need to know my name because the cops do not need to be called to this address because he’s overreacting because he is instigating an argument with his son right now,” Scott said.

Scott repeated multiple times to “call off officers.”

“I can’t do that because he called 911 and I heard what was going on there. Please tell me what your name is, or give him the phone,” the dispatcher said.

After that call ended, Christian got on the phone with them again.

“He was fighting with his girlfriend. I mean, this has been going on. He was arrested last Sunday for domestic violence,” Christian said. Christian then told dispatchers that Scott was trying to break into his home.

When police arrived, Scott was barricaded in his bedroom, where he’d picked up a small knife.

According to Havasu News, Christian described the knife Devin had as a “small throwing knife.”

“They had two of the riot mats when they rush a cell to pin an inmate,” Christian told a reporter. “There were four cops, two of those mats and five feet to rush him. His knife was this long, blade handle and everything,” Christian said, using his fingers to illustrate about six inches.

Christian continued, “It wouldn’t have even penetrated their jackets, let alone the mattresses they were carrying. They could have fallen on him and pinned him.”

But they didn’t fall on him. Instead, they chose to abruptly end Scott’s life.

Below is the graphic body cam footage of police bursting into the bedroom to find Scott laying down in bed. When he gets up with the knife, he is not charging anyone, only telling them to “get out.”

Instead of simply retreating and waiting to diffuse the situation — cops chose almost immediate deadly force.

  1. Yep, how do we even comment on these anymore, people are gonna start figuring out that if you want to get away with murdering someone, especially a family member, you duct tape a knife to their hand, call the cops and they’ll come do the job for you, wow, no need buy a shovel and lime anymore…!

  2. One of these days people are going to wake up and not call the cops for domestic issues
    Or things that they should take into their own hands for resolution

    After enough people get killed maybe ?
    Or when enough sleepers wake up to the fact these cops are nothing but thugs and control freaks
    You know dam well if you showed the same behaviors as the cops you would be disarmed by them
    Yet we hire them and put a gun in their hand a badge on their chest and immunity in their minds
    Such a sick cycle

  3. “What happened to negotiating? Police should be diffusers of situations rather than escalators.”

    Unfortunately, diffusing situations requires an I.Q. that disqualifies one from being a cop. “Shoot first, and lie later” is all they’re capable of.

  4. I just love how these gestapo murderers escalate a situation, shoot the person dead and then start shouting orders to a dead corpse.

  5. “There were four cops, two of those mats and five feet to rush him. His knife was this long, blade handle and everything,” Christian said, using his fingers to illustrate about six inches.”

    They were afraid he might hurt himself with it.

    “It wouldn’t have even penetrated their jackets, let alone the mattresses they were carrying. They could have fallen on him and pinned him.”

    They were afraid they might hurt him if they did.

    “They claim Scott was advancing on him aggressively, but if you watch the video below, police are the ones who are advancing.”

    They were afraid.

    MURDERING SCUMBAG PUSSIES!!!!!
