Weird, I live two towns over in New Bedford and never heard of this. Definitely gotta start watching the news again.

Lakeville, Massachusetts — On Friday, September 29, 2023, at around 3:45 a.m., a Lakeville Police officer was monitoring traffic near the intersection of Precinct Street and Pickens Street when he was approached by 45-year-old Timothy Hladik, of Lakeville. Lakeville police said Hladik displayed what looked like a handgun. The officer then drew his own gun and got out of the cruiser. The body cam footage released, picks up at that point, as the officer is ordering Hladik to “put the (expletive) gun down” multiple times. An off-duty Massachusetts State Trooper was driving by and stopped to help the officer. During the exchange, Hladik repeatedly used threatening language, and then allegedly took an aggressive stance and raised the weapon.

At this time, both officers fired, striking Hladik. The officers secured the suspect's weapon, which was determined to be a replica gun, and immediately rendered emergency medical aid to the man. Hladik was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford for treatment and was arraigned from his hospital bed where he was held without bail on Monday. Hladik is charged with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and threat to commit a crime.

It sounded a bit like that cop lacked confidence, I mean, he shouted a lot but it sounded like panic. I suppose this is what happens when young cops are thrown to the wolves fresh out the Academy.

No it’s more or less the cop didn’t want to take the man’s life right away he wanted to give him a chance. But sometimes that’s a bad move for the cop because it could end badly

He's probably had more prolapses than you've had hot dinners...

🤣

Facing a cop with a blank gun requires big balls or a lack of important brain cells.

Probably both!
