That just makes no sense. I don't understand the behavior at all. I wonder what their statement is? Why would they grab Yantis? Don't get it.

They are countless videos of thugs cops behaving badly. The story makes sense because this is what thugs do.
 
Buncha thugs out to subvert the American justice system and get publicity.

While Paradis was getting the skid loader, the deputies started shooting at the bull. At least one of them had a semiautomatic rifle, perhaps an AR-15, an adaptation of the military M16.

“They opened up with their pistols and their M16s ... before Jack got there,” Paradis said. “That’s an inhumane deal. ... This is a 2-ton Angus bull that’s pissed off, he’s hurt and psychotic. ... It was blazing down there and it sounded like World War III on this bull, because they got him charging at everyone again.”

Paradis drove the skid loader down the driveway and parked on the highway. The bull was lying on the pavement. Donna Yantis had walked the rifle to her husband. Jack Yantis was standing about 4 feet from the bull, aiming the rifle at the back of the bull’s head. His back was to the two deputies, who were standing in the far lane facing each other as if they were having a conversation.

“I put the (skid loader’s) lights on him and the bull, and he lined up to shoot the bull in the back of head and put him out humanely,” Paradis said.

The rifle’s barrel was about 2 feet from the bull, and Jack Yantis’ finger was on the trigger.

“Everything was going as planned. … I did not notice any conversation at all” between Jack Yantis and the deputies, Paradis said. “Then the one cop turned around and grabbed his shoulder and jerked him backwards.”

The deputy came from behind, spun Yantis around and grabbed the rifle’s scope, Paradis said.

The deputy pushed Yantis. The rifle was still in Yantis’ hands, its barrel pointed at the ground. Yantis was trying to regain his footing.

Paradis said he does not know whether the rifle fired, but he thinks it might have discharged accidentally when the deputy grabbed Yantis and spun him, or when one of the deputy’s bullets pierced Yantis’ hand holding the rifle, hitting the gun and damaging it.

One deputy began shooting at Yantis, then the other deputy started shooting.

Donna Yantis said she and Paradis screamed at the deputies to stop.

Shot in the chest and abdomen, Jack Yantis fell to the ground. Neither deputy went to check on him. Paradis and Donna Yantis started running toward him.

“And then they threatened me and my nephew ... threw us on the middle of Highway 95, searched us and handcuffed us, and wouldn’t let us go take care of Jack,” Donna Yantis said.

Clearly looking for money. That is what those people do.
 
Did you know there were marches in the streets and protests over this shooting?

Apparently Jack Yantis was a good boy and dindu nuffin wrong.

It's true!

Are you saying his life mattered?
 
I didn't see anything in the link to show whether they found the officer(s) at fault or not. It's hard to believe from what we saw before that the officer was justified. I don't get it. Don't get how easy the cops think it should be to END A LIFE.

I'm pretty sure World War III isn't going to sound anything like that.

He was not black so at the very least it is very un-PC to say his life mattered as the only PC approved statement of mattering is "black lives matter".

Well, you're as un-PC as they get, so why don't you come right out and say it with me: Jack Yantis' life mattered; his shooting was unjustified, and his death is an outrage. Donna Yantis' life matters; the fact she suffered a heart attack after seeing her husband fatally shot and being thrown to the ground and placed in handcuffs when she ran forward to help him, the same way Tamir Rice's sister was treated when she tried to help her little brother, is an additional outrage.
