Bodycam Shows Moments Leading Up To Atlanta Officer Shooting Man With Gun

** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
Atlanta, Georgia — Atlanta Police released three lengthy bodycam videos Tuesday evening that show the moments before and after one of the officers shot a person. On Monday, September 21, 2020, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was requested by the Atlanta Police Department to conduct an officer involved shooting investigation. Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 7:25 p.m., a 911 call was placed about a domestic disturbance near 510 Cassanova Street SE, Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. When officers arrived, they observed Dearian Bell, 28, of Atlanta, and his wife inside a vehicle. At some point, Bell retrieved a firearm from the vehicle and exited the vehicle. For approximately 12 minutes, Bell held the firearm and walked around the area ignoring verbal commands to put the gun down. At one point, Bell advanced toward an APD officer. At that time, the APD officer discharged her firearm, striking Bell. Officers rendered aid to Bell at the scene. Bell was transported to a local area hospital where he was pronounced deceased. No officers were injured during the incident.

“You black and pulling on me?” The moment he learned that it’s not about race when you make stupid decisions...

[FirstThirtyMinutes]

Broke my heart when I heard the officer cry. What a terrible situation

[IratePuffin]

“He ain’t got no bullets. I swear.”

Yeah, I’m not putting my life in your hands, thank you very much.

Man literally turned his parking ticket into a death sentence all by himself. Poor cop crying broke my heart

[davidkatz]

"Bro what are you doing?"
"ID"
"Bro, you got your hand on a gun, wassup?"
This is the most calmly I have ever seen an officer react to someone with a gun.

"She trying to leave me."

If you have to threaten someone with physical violence, so they won't leave you, you're doing it wrong.

That man had every opportunity “NOT” to get shot, . He made his decision....

[deathawaits]

The guilt and adrenaline she felt after shooting him shows her humanity.

"What are you going to do, shoot me?" - Man who was shot

[tristankrieger]

I actually have never seen more chances given. The black cop literally just standing there talking to him like he's Dr. Phil while the guy is reaching over the place😪

[GBR]

He was so desperate to become a victim he didn't realize the people who would be most affected by his actions.

Legend has it the ambulance is still driving in circles

When the female officer is walking up and singing that song having a good day. She had no idea she was going to have to kill someone shortly after that...

[papa_xan]

That dude had every chance to live another day, but chose stupidity over living.

“You black and pulling on me” congratulations on discovering that real life isn’t about race.

This video is the first time the public gets a good look at the pressure officers have to endure during and after a shooting. Seeing one officer comforting a fellow officer in this situation is reassuring. That female officer's response is what needs to be seen by everyone who thinks police lack decency & humanity. If she sees my post, she'll know I am sending her a hug 🫂.

The policewoman was more upset than the wife...shows what hell she been thru with this cat

[Enigmalake]

14:52 Emotional AF. This one is for all the people who say the police don’t care. That was a raw cry straight from someones soul.

My heart broke most for the female officer. She genuinely didn’t want to shoot this man. She truly did try her very best. I can hear the pain in her voice. Cops are people too, they just want to make a living, get home to their loved ones and take bad guys off the street to keep the public safe. I think a lot of times people lose sight of that fact.
