Police Officer Begs Bystanders to Help During Fight With Suspect
Quote:But first, let me take a selfie.
A Houston, Texas police officer was involved in an altercation with a young man who was suspected of aggravated robbery and shooting.
Yet, instead of attempting to help the situation, bystanders stood by and recorded the struggle.
The police officer originally pulled over Davon Shavelle Miller due to his car being connected to a crime. However, Miller ran away, and the officer chased him down.
A video was posted to Facebook shortly after the officer tackled him and shows Miller struggling and screaming.
“He's trying to kill me!” Miller yelled throughout the video.
However, Joe Gamaldi, president of the Houston Police Officers' Union, claims that Miller's actions were very aggressive.
“This guy is absolutely a threat,“ said Gamaldi to a local news station. ”He had a pistol in his car that his girlfriend actually wrapped in a towel and threw it in the bushes while our officer (was) fighting with him. Not only that — you watch the video. He’s grabbing our officer’s gun."
While one bystander helped the officer during the situation, a woman dressed as a security guard walked around the altercation and continued to film.
“Help me!” the officer yelled. “Stop f*****g filming and help me!”
Miller has been charged with a felony of disarming a police officer for grabbing the officer's gun.
