A Free Keene reader has sent me a link to a rather disturbing video which is posted on a site called BLUtube, a site collecting police related videos and an apparent frequent hangout for police officers.
In the video a man being chased by the police blows his head off with a shotgun. The suicide is captured by a helicopter’s FLIR (infrared) camera as the incident happened at night. The video is titled “Suspect w/ shotgun, Good clean fun” and is submitted by a BLUtube participant calling himself “sergeanthulka555” (a name which to me indicates he is either a member of the military or law enforcement).
I think our fellow FK reader is right on when he pointed out to me that the title of the video and the comments left by people most likely involved in the policing profession aptly show a lack of respect for human life. Whatever crime this man committed, he is a human being…Â and should be respected as such.
Here are some of the comments I felt were very disturbing:
