Here is a little story that might make it out of my small city. Cop chase for traffic violation, these happen all the time here. Guy gets out, is tasered?, two witnesses say the guy is on the cell phone saying I surrender in english and spanish, he was getting down when the cops shoot him three times, once in the head. This is looking bad for the cops. If I were one of the witnesses I would be scared right now.

CORPUS CHRISTI — What began as a car chase over a traffic violation ended when a police officer shot and killed a man Saturday after he showed a knife, police said. Officers, who began chasing the man in the 4900 block of Ayers Street, used a Taser on the 28-year-old after he left his white Ford Focus on Port Avenue near Dillon Lane about 6 p.m., Capt. Tim Wilson said. The Taser didn’t work, Wilson said. The man turned toward officers and displayed a knife, he said. One officer shot the man three times, at least once in the head, said Wilson, who didn’t know where the other two shots hit the man. The man, who police didn’t identify, was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial where he was pronounced dead. Wilson said crime scene investigators found a folding knife in the grass next to where the shooting occurred. Witnesses said they didn’t see a knife. “He was screaming ‘I’ll surrender,’ ” said Marta Espinosa, 24. “Police should not have fired. He got down and was saying he surrendered in Spanish and English.” Witnesses said the man was using a cell phone as he ran toward a grassy area next to an appliance store on the corner of Dillon Lane. Police cars and officers surrounded him. Espinosa and Laura Cruz, 21, both saw the man holding only a cell phone, they said separately. “His other hand was open toward police, him saying, ‘Wait,’ ” Cruz said. “He was talking on a phone and kept telling them he surrendered.” Police would not answer other questions, except to say the man’s parents were notified. Wilson said interim Police Chief Mike Walsh would make details available Monday.
