Life Disturbing video that I have to comment on - Page 2

**Nzoner** · 02-03-2010, 02:36 PM

Sorry for being so morbid today(2nd thread of violence) but I just came across this video on another site and thought it might make for some good discussion as I'm sure if you watch it your emotions will be triggered(no pun intended).

Possibly some of you have seen this or if it's been posted before I apologize.

Before I post the video my take is two-fold and split in that I think law enforcement officers are grossly underpaid and yet in this paticular video I was thinking what a dumbass cop,you've given fair warning,why not just shoot and wound this crazy bastard before he does something crazier.

Below the video is the story,again,fair warning,while not graphic in nature the video is quite disturbing.

Deputy Kyle Dinkheller, Laurens County, GA, was minutes from being off duty when he encountered a speeding pickup truck going 98 mph. The deputy was an ICE (Interstate Criminal Enforcement) officer that dealt with traffic infractions, speeding and the occasional drug bust. This was a low risk or unknown risk stop for speeding. He radioed in the speeding infraction, made a U-turn in the median and pursued the vehicle. The driver, Andrew Brannan, stopped his vehicle, exited and started a crazy, dancing jig in the middle of the road while swearing at the officer and shouting Im a god-damned Vietnam vet. At first, he ignored Dinkhellers commands to step towards the deputy, which always began with `Sir. When he finally complied, he attacked the deputy and a scuffle ensued. The deputy implemented the use of his asp and ordered Brannan to `get back. This procedure was repeated, but after what appeared to be a second scuffle, the suspect returned to his vehicle and retrieved a M-I Carbine from under the seat. The first shots were fired nearly 50 seconds after Brannan returned to his vehicle despite the deputys commands. Brannan ignored the repeated commands to put the gun down and Deputy Dinkheller apparently fired the first shot. Brannan, a Vietnam veteran, advanced firing on the deputy. Dinkheller returned fire, but succeeded only in breaking a window in the drivers side of the pickup and wounding Brannan in the stomach. Using `suppressive fire, Brannan systematically, methodically shot Dinkheller in the arms, legs, exposed areas that would not be covered had Dinkheller been wearing a bulletproof vest, slowly executing him. Reloading his weapon Brannan continued firing with the final death shot to Dinkhellers right eye. "The entire incident was videotaped by a camera in Deputy Dinkheller's patrol car. On January 28, 2000, the suspect was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death two days later."

I posted it for discussion and gave ample warning to how disturbing it is.

**CosmicPal** · 02-03-2010, 02:54 PM

That's just heartbreaking. My thoughts go out to the family of the officer.

true, but while it is shocking, it at least does not show his actual death or remains. I do find the clips online of actual death and dead people repulsive.

WTF man. Disturbing doesn't describe this video.

anyhow...yeah, if he pulled a gun after doing his little cooky dance, I would've began firing immediatly.

Inspector · 02-03-2010, 02:56 PM

Cops need to have really badass guns to use. Seems the perp probably had more firepower.

Really sad.

again, then youd more than likely be dead.

The drop is everything next to a kill shot.

It's not a criticism. It was a comment.

He’s dead. He doesn’t care.
I can understand that the family would be upset, having to live through the moment over and over, but hopefully some good can come from it like what Nzoner posted below.

For all of you cop haters, I'd like to see you be this patient. Cops don't get paid enough to deal with all the crazy assholes in the world.

Didn't take it as criticism,just stating why I posted it and so far the discussion has been good.

I think it's an insult to his honor, let me specify. Perhaps there were things he could have done differently, perhaps he did everything perfectly. Either way, he didn't die on some grand mission, he died trying to give someone a speeding ticket.

If you were to die in that way and had a choice for the video to be used over and over again as training, etc even though you knew your family would be left to endure it, would you?

It's an M1 carbine. The insane thing is the cop is watching him load it when he's standing at the driver's door in the beginning.
