The SFPD held a virtual town hall Thursday to discuss an officer-involved shooting of a man allegedly holding a knife in the Tenderloin on Aug. 28.
"We recognize that our sworn duty as law enforcement officers imposes no more solemn an obligation on us than to honor and respect the sanctity of life," said Scott Thursday afternoon."We also know that as police officers, we are sometimes required to use force, including deadly force at times in the performance of our duties."
Though most of what appeared on the footage matched what Capt. Im described in his introduction, there were a few discrepancies. Police set up a containment around Everett, with multiple officers and squad cars, as officers attempted to get him to put down his knife. Police can be heard saying that they are there to help and they don't want to hurt him, but that they can't do so until he puts the knife down.
An acquaintance of Everett who refers to him by his nickname,"Louisiana," comes over and also tries to reason with him to put the knife down. In Captain Im's introduction to all the footage, he says that the man described Everett as a person who lives on the street and is"loosey goosey," which can be heard on the audio." Captain Im does not relay that the man also said,"I just don't want him to get shot or nothing," which is also on the audio.
