VIDEO: A Utah Police Officer Killed a Man Inside the Police Department. It Was His Third Shooting. | FRONTLINE
Sgt. Tyler Longman killed Michael Chad Breinholt nearly two years ago, but the district attorney still hasn’t said whether the shooting was justified.

"The last words Michael Chad Breinholt heard were, “You’re about to die, my friend.” Then a West Valley City police sergeant pulled the trigger. The body camera footage from Aug. 23, 2019, shows he was intoxicated at the police department. With his hands cuffed behind his back, he briefly wrestled with two officers. One screamed that Breinholt was grabbing his holstered gun. Sgt. Tyler Longman rushed into the room, made his declaration and fired. “He took the time to think about that, to say those words,” Neese said in a recent interview. “And then aim and shoot. And kill Chad.”
By all indications, this looks like the kind of shooting you live for....a straight bullet to the head preceded by "you're gonna die, my friend" -- just like a Dirty Harry movie -- although, I would have came up with a better catch phrase. So this guy shows up drunk at his girlfriend's job -- he was also high on pills in an apparent suicide attempt -- another reason this is a good shoot...if the guy wanted to die, the officer helped him....
While at the police station..he was cuffed yet still acting like a drunk....not following police orders....Even tho he was searched and no weapons were found -- he kept saying he had a gun in his pants, a gun in his shoes and a gun in the seat he was sitting in....he then wrestles with a cop; tries to grab that officer's gun ....luckily another cop comes in -- aims the gun against the drunk guy's head and POW! -- the guy was dead.....this was 2 years ago and the officer has faced no disciplinary action which is proof positive that this was a good shoot.
