Police released video Wednesday showing a man swinging a baseball bat at a police officer before being fatally shot outside a federal courthouse in southern Indiana. Evansville police released security camera video showing 55-year-old Ricky Ard smashing two of the courthouse’s front door windows Tuesday morning, along with video from an officer’s body camera. The videos show at least two courthouse security officers drawing guns but not following Ard as he stayed outside the building and walked away. Other angles show him starting back toward the building after a city police officer arrived. That officer, identified as 11-year police force veteran Kenny Duschke, yelled at Ard and tried to hit him with a stun gun before the man charged at the officer with the bat. The video shows the officer backpedaling and firing about a half-dozen shots. Evansville police spokesman Sgt. Jason Cullum said during a news conference that Duschke appears to have acted appropriately to defend himself.
“When he made the decision to chase after the officer and attempt to strike him with a deadly weapon, unfortunately, he created a situation that led to his own death,†Cullum said. Cullum said Ard had visited the Winfield K. Denton Federal Building on Monday and expressed “concerns about the government.†The building includes federal court offices and other federal agencies. Cullum declined Wednesday to discuss Ard’s complaints. Ard returned about 11:20 a.m. Tuesday to the courthouse in the city along the Ohio River, according to police. Cullum said a courthouse security officer also shot at Ard, but videos didn’t clearly show when that happened. One of the security officers told Duschke to use a stun gun on Ard, but it was “ineffective,†Cullum said. “We know that one of the probes did make impact because as he ran after the officer you can actually see the Taser dragging on the ground behind him, because the probe was either in his clothes or in his person and the wires were still attached to the Taser,†he said.

莫斯科è¦方粗暴逮æ•上åƒ人 按é Âã€Â抓臉致多人骨折
示å¨Âç¾場爆發嚴é‡Âè¦民è¡ÂçªÂ,è¦方除了è¡Â進把示å¨Â者驅趕至市ä¸Â心å°Â巷內,並以è¦æ£Â鎮壓,很多人都被打到é Âç ´è¡€æµÂ,隨後被帶往è¦局
這æ‰Âå«真æ£的鎮壓
ä¸Â愧是戰鬥民æ—Â
å°港è¦方都太ä»Âæ…ˆäºâ€
看看香港就å†Â清楚ä¸ÂéŽ了。和平統一所帶來的麻煩是沒完沒了的,因為人心ä¸ÂæœÂ。列強ä¸ÂæœÂ,港人ä¸ÂæœÂ,尤其å°ç£人更ä¸ÂæœÂ。
想想å°ç£èÂÂ英èâ€Â£Ã¦Â¸Âæ°´çš„åÂÂ言,以å°ç£的民性,你沒有殺人,何以立å¨Â?若是大開殺戒,則人心æ¸順,辜寬æ•Â會打著äºâ€Ã¦ËœÅ¸Ã§Â´â€¦Ã¦â€”—迎接解æâ€Â¾Ã¨Â»Â,就åƒÂ他爸爸一百一åÂÂå¹´å‰Â打開å°北城門æ¡迎日本皇è»Â進城一樣。這是ä¸Â能å¦èªÂçš„å°ç£æ·å²。
å°ç£人都有一個毛病,就是ä¸Â打ä¸ÂæˆÂ器,怎麼å¯能沒有挨打就æœÂ你?和平統一以後從æ¤ä¸Â得安寧,任何民çâ€Å¸Ã¥â€¢Â題都å¯以è€Âè³´æ¸咎大陸,一大堆人三天兩é Â跑到美國國會去告洋狀。大陸ä¸Â能怪他們,這些人沒挨éŽ打為什麼è¦Âåšä¸Â國人?他們心ä¸Âä¸ÂæœÂ,他們寧願åš曾經痛打他們的日本人。
