ARLINGTON, Texas - Arlington police released body camera video and provided an update on an officer-involved shooting that ended with a man’s death.

The 56-year-old man was suffering a mental health crisis and reportedly lunged at officers with a large knife.
Chief Al Jones identified the deceased man as 56-year-old David Eversole, who had been making suicidal comments and had access to knives. Four officers responded to the 911 call from another person in his home.

"When officers entered the room, Mr. Eversole became very upset and pulled out a large knife. The officers gave him multiple verbal commands to drop the knife, but he did not comply. In an attempt to de-escalate the situation, you can see the officer start backing out of the room. He lowered his weapon, but at that moment, Mr. Eversole came towards the officer still holding the knife. The officer then fired multiple shots at Mr. Everson, striking him," Chief Jones said.
The deadly shooting happened on Sept. 17 around 10:45 p.m. at a home in the 1700 block of West Lovers Lane. That’s just south of Interstate 30, north of West Pioneer Parkway.

Witnesses told police the 56-year-old man was in a state of emotional distress and threatening to take his own life.

Police said the responding officers heard the man yelling and learned that a family member was in the room with him. They immediately got the family member out, but then the man got upset and pulled out a large knife.

So the police illegally enter his house and when he tries to defend it they shoot him. And you think this is good policing.

If any room of your house, or any house you have ever lived in, looks like this, then the remainder of the community supports police extermination of you. Sharpen up, or fuck off.

@MarGarTar Why is this frowned upon but fudds can do the equivalent with their garage full of dumb car shit

@essence25 oh you mean people who actually pay tazmxes and contribute to society? Unlike this loser who got himself killed?

3 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@0falcon0 this lunatic got what he deserved. All he had to do was drop the knife.

Oh man! I hope that wasn't a TWW mod!!

@L.X
HAHAHA!

Nope.

Don't look nearly that good !!!

15 +1 MiTleiD 1 week ago

Once again completely unnecessary, and yet another case of mind-boggling incompetence when it comes to dealing with people during mental health crises.

3 +1 L.X 1 week ago

@MiTleiD Would you prefer a socialworker to show up instead?

4 +1 MiTleiD 1 week ago

@L.X How about someone who actually knows their job? Someone who gets that screaming orders at people in a psychiatric emergency is pointless, and who has the competence not to put themselves in a position where they end up having to shoot.

4 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@MiTleiD he deserved it big time.

1 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@MiTleiD no way, these officers did a great job removing this shit stain. He absolutely deserved to die when he didnt drop the knife.

2 +1 MiTleiD 1 week ago

@Mchawii It's not for me to say what this individual deserved or didn't deserve, but I'm sure his family, who called the police for help, sees things a "little" differently.

@ScreaminMime Ah! I thought by the room and uniform he was a TWW mod, didn't realize that regular users also lived like that.

We had to kill him for his own good.

@Oreshnik To be fair, he hasn't complained since they visited him.

Don't EVER call the cops if someone you care about is having a meltdown!

3 +1 L.X 1 week ago

@Jobby11227vvcf I think just about everyone knows this. I always assume if they called the cops, they are done with that person and know what's coming next.

2 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@Jobby11227vvcf I mean - this guy deserved it bigt time.

The cunt wanting him shot was one of them, maybe some kind of DEI half assed supervisor.

@tommix1 Wrong again!

Which fucking bitch was saying “shoot him”?

5 +1 MiTleiD 1 week ago

@Lemmiwinks It is his relative. However, I think he is telling them not to shoot him.

2 +1 L.X 1 week ago

@Lemmiwinks "Don't shoot him" is what he was saying.

@00BuckShot00 100%

2 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@00BuckShot00 nah - he deserved it. All he had to do was not pull a knife, and drop the knife he pulled on police. He was a POS.
The guy with the knife attempted to murder an officer.

So they called the Police because they we're afraid the suspect was going to off himself or harm himself somehow.

And they killed him instead. Gotcha. Makes sense.

2 +1 Mchawii 1 week ago

@Quint_Beastwood the POS got what he deserved.
