On August 31, 2025, around 1:00 a.m., Phoenix police officers patrolling near Hermoso Park attempted to stop 36-year-old Efrain Hidalgo for riding a bike without a headlight.

After initially evading, Hidalgo stopped but then dropped his bike and tried to flee. Bodycam footage shows an officer tackling him, leading to a struggle where Hidalgo pulled a knife.

One officer, a two-year veteran from South Mountain Precinct, fired nine shots. Hidalgo collapsed and later died at the hospital.

Aw, fuckin’ hell, he was still kickin’ after those 9 bullets, proper overkill that. Don’t go pullin’ blades on the coppers, fuckin' dumb, yeah, but reckon 2, maybe 3… rounds would’ve done. American coppers are pure loony, lad.

9 mm > knife.

I already said the fella pullin’ a blade was mad stupid, I’m not knockin’ the copper for firin’. I’m just sayin’ nine shots is pure over the top, y’know?

It’s the number of rounds I’m questionin’, not that he got dropped.

Ha! It’s as good a reason as any to fucking die.

Shoot to kill? Cops trained to always kill?
