Body cam footage from the Salt Lake City Police Department shows an alleged hostage taker with a knife to an innocent’s neck being shot dead by police.

Fox 13 reported that body cam video was released of a July 25, 2020, incident in which alleged hostage-taker, 34-year-old Andrew Jacob Preece, was shot dead.

 
1. He didn't even respond to the first three shots other than he might react to a bee sting.
2. His family tried to cover for him "He was just leaning on his friend". I can't believe they were even trying to stick up for him.
 
The Family said:
We feel that the actions taken in this altercation was unnecessary. Andrew was not in his right state of mind but he never wanted to hurt anyone. He had a history with law enforcement but that doesnt make him in any way less of a person. This could have been prevented by taking a few extra minutes or hour to talk him down if that’s what it would take. In our opinion it did not look like a hostage situation, rather Andrew leaning on his friend for support because it appeared that he was is some way hurt. They should have taken more time to talk instead of shoot and that’s gotta change.

another lady cop with some skills. IDK if there was a real clear shot but that took a risk hitting the hostage?
Any how if it was his "friend" they should have said something. Like "hey my friends off his rocker he needs help"
Maybe her Glock shoots left and she aimed at the hostage ?
 
9 to 10 shots were fired and the convicted felon was hit several times before collapsing. Imagine if the dead felon was black? More rioting!

Yep....it would have been considered excessive force and the perp would have been seen as the victim.
