The Greensboro Police Department said the use of deadly force was legally justified in an officer-involved shooting case that happened back in Aug. 2025. The announcement came during a press conference the department held on Monday afternoon, where police released body-worn camera footage from the day of the incident. Here's some background. According to police, an officer was flagged down at approximately 4:06 p.m. on Marion Street by a resident who reported a trespasser. The resident directed the officer to 48-year-old Said Ezzine, who was accused of being on private property without permission. Police said the officer approached Ezzine to investigate. According to the department, Ezzine refused to follow repeated commands and then pulled out a weapon and moved toward the officer. The officer then fired back, striking Ezzine. Police said that the officer called for emergency medical services and began life-saving efforts. Ezzine was later pronounced dead at the scene. In the footage, seen by WFMY News 2 reporter Amber Lake, the officer says to Ezzine, "Come here, friend, I just need to talk to you." Ezzine says, "Don't start," as he walks away. "Don't follow me." The officer made repeated commands to stop. Ezzine went into a shed on the property and then came at the officer with a weapon. The officer asks him to get on the ground. The District Attorney's office determined the actions of the officer were justified on May 4. ]]> Mon 18 May 2026 21:41:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615775/greensboro-officer-justified-in-fatal-shooting/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614791/detabian-fortenberry-of-charlotte-nc-who-has-been-arrested-56-times/

Neighbors are describing a chaotic and terrifying scene after a Cybertruck crashed into a home and sparked an hours-long police standoff Sunday afternoon in Garner. Gabriele Folker, who lives across the street, said he heard gunshots, loud explosions, and felt his home shake as police surrounded the area, drew weapons, and later called in SWAT teams to secure the scene. “We heard gunshots, loud booms, and then felt the house rumble. We didn’t know where it was coming from or what was happening. We didn’t know if there was a gunfight. We were just we’re fearing the worst, essentially,” he said. Garner Police said it started Sunday afternoon about 3 p.m. on Alta Crest Lane when Nathan Tharp, 42, struck a woman with his Cybertruck and then tried to hit officers while attempting to attack her a second time. “Officers fired their service weapons at the vehicle to stop the assaults, but Tharp was not injured,” police said. “Tharp subsequently drove the vehicle into a nearby residence, causing extensive damage.” Tharp then ran into that home and barricaded himself as a standoff ensued, according to police. He was eventually taken into custody after four hours. Folker said he watched much of the incident unfold from his living room window and through Ring camera footage. He said Tharp crashed through multiple yards, struck the homeowner’s parked car, and became wedged into the front of the house before running inside. “Police had guns drawn. They had a rifle drawn, and they were all aiming at the top floor, and they had a K-9 unit out. Eventually they brought a SWAT unit out. They brought in an armored vehicle with a battering ram. They were able to they use the battering ram and they pushed the Cybertruck out of the way. Then they came back and tore the garage door down,” he said. Folker’s next-door neighbor, who didn’t want to be identified, said Tharp also struck his parked car before crashing into the house. “The driver’s side door completely caved in. Some damage to the passenger door and fender. So, it had to be towed this morning,” he said. ]]> Tue 27 Jan 2026 18:22:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610452/man-tried-to-run-down-woman-before-standoff-with-garner-police/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609695/liberal-woman-trolled-by-ice-agents-thank-you-for-calling-us-at-the-ice-hotline/
