Good day sunshine!
Good day sunshine!
Good day sunshine!
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out,
I’ve got something I can laugh about.
I feel good, in a special way.
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day.
That ought to satisfy those who would seek to edit my articles. And now on with the show. A drunk driver in Utah literally lost his mind while he was being booked on suspicion of DUI.
Body cam footage released of West Valley officer-involved shooting during DUI processing
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — West Valley City Police released body camera footage on Friday from an officer-involved shooting in the basement of West Valley City Hall last month.
On August 23, a West Valley City Police officer shot and killed 31-year-old Michael Chad Breinholt during an altercation as he was being arrested and processed for driving under the influence.
Four officers were in the DUI processing room with Breinholt, and all had their body cameras turned on.
In the video, Breinholt is seen sitting in a chair with his arms handcuffed behind his back before he takes off his shoe and stands up. An officer then tries to take the shoe and an altercation ensues.
Not only was his foot odor probably offensive, but then he makes the fatal mistake of grabbing one of the officer’s guns.
In the video, during the altercation it appears Breinholt reaches for the officer’s gun.
“ From what I can see from the video, Mr. Breinholt has a firm grip on the gun,” said Chief Colleen Jacobs of West Valley City Police.
Yep. That’s what he did. I saw it too.
That’s when another officer fires a single shot, killing Breinholt.
Well, yeah. That single shot pierced Breinholt’s dome and left him lying in a growing pool of blood on the floor. Now let’s get on with the show!
One thing I’d like to mention here, can you imagine the terrible ringing in those officer’s ears after a gun was fired in that tiny concrete room? At least Breinholt died instantly. Ringing ears are no fun at all.
The officer who fired the shot is currently on paid administrative leave.
Breinholt was originally brought into custody for reportedly being intoxicated and causing problems out of business on Redwood Road that day.
The investigation has been handed over to the Salt Lake City Police Department.
DUI is a fairly serious charge. But instead of doing a small amount of jail time, paying fines, attending alcohol education classes, and maybe a few court ordered A.A. meetings, this thug chose a different option and ended up as another carcass on the growing pile of Body Cam Theater stars. At least he spared himself of what was sure to be a hell of a hangover.
I just wanted to get an article up as I’m taking a vacation for a couple days, and what better way to start my vacation than watching a thug’s brains finally getting to see the light of day?
I’m off now! See you all soon!
