FULL TITLE: Black father livestreams the moment he was KILLED by cops: Tennessee man records his own fatal shooting on Facebook Live during traffic stop confrontation
A Tennessee man livestreamed his own fatal shooting by a police officer on Facebook during a traffic stop on Thursday as his fiancee watched helplessly.
Rodney James Hess, 36, was acting erratically and had attempted to hit cops with his car 'at least twice' before he was killed at around 2:15pm, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation told NBC News.
In the video streamed on Facebook Live from a roadside in Alamo, Tennessee, Hess can be heard saying he wants to speak to 'the higher commands' before leaving his car.
He then appears to make some kind of movement and is shot several times through his windshield.

Well said.
Yea but mentally ill people shouting “aller snackbar” been doing that for centuries. It’s been in last say, two or thee decades we’ve had good mental health system and even that’s questionable.
Understatement of the year ?
“Tommy Sotomayor sometimes gives a glimpse into the dynamic that may give rise to this.
It’s heartbreaking, and troubling.”
So true and that it’s never ending from generation to generation.
Black father?
Is being a father a title?
I gave it a like on his Facebook page...black likes matter poor soul...
I have to wonder if “mental illness” was PTSD. Does anyone know if he’s a vet ?
I know a few guys who would behave exactly as described.
Which one of these pics is of the man in question? If the answer is none, then maybe some reflection is in order.
“I can fully understand why police have to be extra cautious when stopping black men. It’s because of black men. “
Several years of listening to Tommy Sotomayor I know why these black men are like this. Because of the single black mom who raised them. The “BT-800, BT-900, BT-1000, BT-1100 and not coming up the BT-1200” It’s the Beastie Terminatrix and our government funds these women with welfare, second 8, food stamps, and child support. The more b****** children she has more money she gets, and she does not care about her kids only the money. Then society gets kids like these. Thank you Democrats.
(mind you I’ve just almost quoted Tommy verbatim on this)

If you are mentally ill or not and are trying to run over me with your car whether I have a badge or not hot lead will be headed into your car. I didn’t realize cops had to read minds and know the medical history instantly whenever they make contact with anyone.
Does anyone know if he’s a vet ?
****************
I’ve seen nothing of his being a military vet but I bet he’s a Katrina vet. Being born in
New Orleans and now living in the Houston area with his mom in the Memphis Tn area makes me
believe they were among the Katrina evacuees. Just a guess on my part.

You would need to do some reflection if you were a police officer. Get real and be honest with yourself. It’s unfortunate for the good black men but it’s the damned truth.

Additionally, if he was trying to take off and lead police on a high speed chase, it would have endangered the lives of others.
That definitely won’t win any support. Katrina “vets” are just the worst.
My opinion, of course, but I have experienced them all to be criminals, frauds and dangerous people. I was right to never go there.
Today's cops shooting "gangstas" could be tomorrow's cops shooting "domestic terrorists" (that would be us by the way).
God knows the crosses each of us bears. He is just and merciful. He will figure all this out, whether or not we can.
I would have thought it would be a given. No really. Look at the snowflakes on campus, people “crying” that Hillary lost, now all these protesters. Yes mental illness is running through this country like a pack of wild elephants. I man dawg do they need to just start putting Paxil in the water supply or what? When I see grown a** people chasing a car like dogs do (protesters in the streets) I shake my head and wonder how people are that mental.
Did you even read this article. He was acting erratically. Tried to hit cops with his car. That alone is enough to get you shot
They did not shoot him because he was mentally ill
