    Man Swings Machete at Cop. Man Is Shot

    GEORGIA — The Athens-Clarke County Police Department released body camera footage from the Officer Involved Shooting on October 5th.
    The incident took place at 190 Baxter Drive. In the video, the subject identified as Salvador Salazar, swings a large knife or machete at our officer, resulting in our officer firing his weapon. Officers were called to the complex due to a domestic violence incident involving a 28-year-old man.
    When officers arrived, they found the man armed with a machete. Officers told the man to drop the machete. The man was taken to a local hospital, where he was in serious condition.

    The camera may be distorting the distance between the officer and the suicidal idiot he was following, but it appears that the officer got a whole lot closer to the guy than he should have, without having seen his hands. It looks like he came within inches of being slashed.

    Salazar clearly has issues with authority. I don't think he was suicidal, just obstinate and violent.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.
