The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) released graphic video Friday showing when a deputy shot and killed a man in crisis who was armed with a knife in the far East Valley last July.
According to the MCSO incident report, deputies were called out to an apartment complex on Broadway Road just west of Crismon Road around 11 p.m. on July 27 after Joseph Cannon called 911, saying he was going to kill himself and said he had a knife.
When deputies arrived, body camera video from one deputy showed Cannon near the front door of his apartment. “Joseph, hands up buddy. We just want to help you,” one deputy said.
Body camera video from a second deputy, who drove the first deputy, showed him going to the trunk of the patrol SUV and grabbing a less-lethal 40mm launcher. He moved to the passenger side of the vehicle with the 40mm launcher in his hands, behind the first deputy.
Cannon went back into his apartment with the door open, and deputies asked him to come out over the loudspeaker.
“C’mon out to us. You’re not in trouble,” a third deputy said over the loudspeaker.
“Hey, my name is Richard. I just want to help you,” the first deputy said.
The third deputy was standing behind the first deputy and next to the passenger door of the patrol car.
About 30 seconds after deputies arrived, Cannon came out of his apartment and ran toward the deputies with a knife.
“Hands up. No! No!” the first deputy said. “Stop! Stop!”
The deputy fired eight to 10 rounds. The third deputy also fired his gun. The second deputy with the launcher backed up as Cannon ran toward the deputies.
After making sure the knife wasn’t near Cannon, the deputies performed CPR and provided medical care, but Cannon died on the scene.
“I was in fear for my life and my partner’s lives with him running towards with a knife, and I tried to give a substantial amount of time for him to stop before I (unintelligible) my firearm,” the first deputy told investigators after the shooting, according to the incident report.
The deputy said he had talked to the other deputies about using a 40mm less-lethal launcher that was in his patrol SUV on Cannon.
The incident report said the third deputy had the 40mm launcher in his hands, raised it but didn’t fire any less-lethal rounds before the shooting.

@nleeklee maybe not ALL, but certainly some, if not most. I feel as though like 60% of cop shootings are justified, and the remaining 40% are just retards being in power for some reason (such as Derek Chauvin or Philip Brailsford, fuck those dudes and RIP to George Floyd and Daniel Shaver 
)

@THETOTALGUY Going through the White House east wing under construction makes sense. The security at Mar-A-Lago is wicked.
