A Michigan man who was refused service for not wearing a mask stabbed another customer before he was shot to death by a sheriff's deputy, police say.

of the deadly confrontation, which appeared to show a man approaching the deputy. The deputy could be heard screaming"Drop the knife!" and"Drop the weapon!" several times in the footage.

"Our thoughts and prayers are for the full recovery of the victim who was stabbed at the Quality Dairy and for his family, and are with our deputy who was subsequently violently attacked. They are also with the family of Mr. Ruis who was killed in this senseless, tragic incident." The deputy has been placed on administrative leave as standard practice in an officer-involved shooting, according to the department.

Ruis lived in nearby Grand Ledge and the Eaton County Sheriff's Department did not immediately identify its deputy — though state police called her a 22 1/2-year veteran of the force.The man stabbed at the store was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive.

He has to accept wearing a mask.He has a knife and want to kill the sheriff.He was not an angel.

Good one down.

Biden supporter gone wild, live on cops! 😁

This guy was not ok. Officer def within right to shoot him. wearing a mask is not a big deal...it saves lives.

That’s so sad a man lose he life because of a dam mask . I hope he family sues the state for his death it’s these stupid politicians and their stupid laws . A mask does nothing to help with any flu .

I hope the innocent customer who was stabbed makes a full recovery.

Don't be a trumpette, wear a mask.

Wear a mask and you will live. It is so simple.

Why are people so upset for wearing a mask?

This is horrible but it should wake people up to stop telling others to wear a mask. Because you never know if the person you’re telling to wear a mask might be just like this person.

Keep shooting them, maybe then people will understand they need a mask

yvonne4tn ...and this is one of the many reasons why the borders to Canada must remain closed.

How many more unmasked people must die before our message is heard? UnmaskedPeoplesLivesMatter KAG2020 IFBAP

Watch. This will be the footage for the white lives matter movement. Trump will cite that white people are subject to the same rules as blacks.

But what color was he? I thought this was very important for stories like this.

Well that's one way to eliminate Trump voters

I really want to move to Canada. For real this time.

jjj5819 Stand your ground should apply to these idiots.

About a mask? My God!

This will be happening more due to the lack of leadership from Trump. He has to go

What is wrong with people

The Left: See? Perfect example of how a mask could have saved a life! 🤷‍♂️

She did right by law and protected herself. This is also very good that there was video available because the outcry would have been different with no video being unavailable. Hoping she gets over it and move on with life professionally and personally.

Are these the white people trump says get killed by police?

Who is responsible for this?

NBC often mentions race in their headlines. This time they didn’t. It seems odd.

As a foreigner and regular visitor to the USA, it is no longer the nation I have loved & visited since my teens. I am far less inclined to ever visit again.

Well he won't be told what to wear anymore. Good for him. 😂

People have gone crazy

That's what I call owning the libs.

Feel bad for the guy that was stabbed. Prayers for full recovery. Guy that stabbed him, burn in hell... with a mask on! 👿

Natural Selection at work.... THIN THE HERD!!!! Smh...

Get stabbed for telling someone to wear a mask, get shot for not wearing one.... and they said it was stupid for people to panic buy guns when this started.... I knew the crazy republican & democrat cults would be out in full swing killing again...

this is not a country that I even know anymore .....

Darwin award.

Terrible to be stabbed for that, however natural selection won out

What did he expect to get prize?

What fatal stupidity looks like

I thought i felt the world get lighter...

Darwinism at its finest

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

We are witnessing a nation in decline...

Does the death certificate say COVID-19? And I'm assuming it's a white guy since there's no race-baiting in this headline, and no new outbreak of rioting in the cities. I see you, satan.

You really have got some winners in the US. Well he doesn’t have to wear a mask now.

Masks save lives.

realDonaldTrump where's your LAW AND ORDER! or was this one of the good people?

Proof, not wearing a mask could kill you.

rick_bonnell Lemme guess he was white

RUMPS WORLD

Already knew he was a POC since they killed him. If white, they’d have controlled him peaceably.

ONLY IN THE USA

The headline is completely misleading. The man who was shot stabbed another CUSTOMER at this store. He left the scene and the deputy stopped him at another location and told him repeatedly to give up the knife. The man tried to stab the deputy. The shooting was not at the store.

I bet some LIBS will see something wrong with this chain of events! I personally call this the Cycle of Freedom.

getting shot dead by the cops to own the libs

FFS

rolandsmartin I love how I see no comment from anti-maskers on this one 🙄

another corona virus death

Surprised this doesnt happen more often.

SwiftWriter So rabies? I hope the aged gentleman recovers.

Good job sheriff shoot those crazy pests .

Wearing a mask is only controversial if you're an asshole.

Karolynsart Imagine giving up your life over something as trivial as wearing a mask.

Couldn’t just wear a damn mask, gotta be dramatic.

why is it sooo difficult for those idiots not to wear that simple mask to save yours, your loved ones lives, + the citizens, one time life 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

This is a great way to cull the herd. Anyone who can’t follow a simple rule that benefits everyone gets scraped. If that guy can’t handle wearing a mask he would have killed someone for something else down the road

I hope the other customer is okay

Is it worth your life because you won't wear a mask? This scares me even more for people just cleaning carts at the stores.

I feel bad for the stabbed victim. MaskItOrCasket

White lives matter !!!

Wtf

This is so normal. Thanks republicans. Were the judges really worth this? You all really want this to continue?

This is what the Republican party is doing to America. Violently claiming personal rights and killing themselves, innocent bystanders, and this country in the process. Sickening and stupid - The GOP. VoteBiden

Wow, cop going to jail for manslaughter ?

And this is why this pandemic may never end...

Since the headline doesn’t say “white man in Michigan” I’ll assume he wasn’t white.

Mask Lives Matter

Was he black!!! Oh he wasn't? Oh, no big deal then.

Anti maskers will be a new political party

Good riddance! He probably supported Trump too so double win!

You should never refuse service. People may have health conditions that may prevent the wearing of a mask. Not stating this is the case here, but service should never be refused for goods bc of a mask. Business should provide a mask for the customer

See not wearing a maskcan get you killed

They could shot to his knees even though he caused lots of problems. Life is 1 time change, should not be taken easily!

I see police enforcement as one of the most unprofessional, untrained, group of people whereas they need to be the most professional and trained, selected people.

So because he was asked to wear a mask to help protect against what he was there to be tested for, he blew up, stabbed a random tester and the police had to shoot him. I don’t think a mask was really the issue.

🧞🙀horrible times .

I think this is the REAL definition of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.

The real pandemic is stupidity.

Wear a Mask or Die 2nd Edition

Stupid, stupid man.

Would a knife have made a difference if he was black?

kuldre What in the world?! People would rather turn to violence to stab others and then get shot and die versus just simply putting on a damn mask?! I’m at a loss for words at this one. This is WILD!

Did he look like this?

He obviously drank to much koolaid.

'Covid' deaths

DONALD TRUMP'S RHETORIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEATH.

Nice shoot Deputy. Well done. One less thug on the street.

Guess he was white since you didn’t mention it in the headline and nobody is protesting it.

Surprised? Unfortunately no.

All over wearin a fuckin mask. Time for God to do a reboot on us all.

That will teach him!

People ade just loosing it over this corona thing

People r out ofcontrol&a lot ofbad cops! All the more reason danabrams livepd should have stayed on the air! At firs I started watchingsaying why am I watchin this but then I realized thy r showing the good cops do-&definately u could see the diff in policing in the diff states

This is OUR fault for allowing a serious public health crisis to be a platform for our politics. When will it be enough to just wear your damned mask in public? It may have this man’s life today if he hadn’t been fueled by rage, hate, and lies from all levels of leadership.

I heard they listed the COD as Covid....

Sounds like a nut job

One down deservedly. That sheriff's deputy cannot be faulted.

THIS, is why I don’t say anything to people who aren’t wearing masks. I’m not the enforcer. I wear my mask as required, hoping to show by example, at least. Everyone is on edge these days and it’s just not worth the aggravation! I hope the stabbing victim recovers fully.

This man was clearly a risk to others in more than one way. Sounds like a solid self defense.

One less Trump vote.

The crazy are getting crazier...wonder what these people will turn into after another 12 months of this....

Wtf 🥺

Sound like my man was watching juice and wanted to go out in a blaze like Tupac did.

The world has gone insane.

What ever happened to the days that the sheriff could shoot the knife out of the hand and apprehend the suspect. I guess I watch too many westerns. Is deadly force the only alternative in this type of situation? A trained cop probably could have disarmed him with no gun.

Sure trump is proud of this! He’s without a moral compass and inability to understand his own words, KILLS!

See...not wearing a mask can kill you !

vikings63

Where's the media championing today's rosa 'no mask' parks? Is this not a civil rights issue?

He wasn’t white

Morons

The F***

Should have worn the mask.

Guess he owned some libs in his final moments. 🤷‍♀️

Oh good, it's dead. We don't need to house, clothe, and feed vermin.

Well I guess he isn’t a risk for Covid19 anymore.

Trump just lost one more precious vote.

He was shot to death after being repeatedly asked to DROP his weapon, you don’t brandish a weapon and approach them in a menacing manner, towards a police officer and not expect dire consequences, I’m happy the officer went home to her family

Got what he deserved

Damn I feel bad for that customer that got stabbed.

Terrible about the stabbing, but one less harmful human

😮

When are these people finally going to realize that wearing a mask is the best way to counter the deep state facial recognition program operating over 5G to track gun owners?

blood is on your hands GovWhitmer FuckMasks Scamdemic Scamdemic2020

flori...wait, what?

Cute but where’s the media outrage? oh yeah they only care about the black people that are killed by police.

tbh? that's justice

Trumps America!

Sean Ruis, 43, stabbed a 77 year old man who asked him to wear a mask. No words.

Freedumb

Just put on the stupid mask...why is this happening? WHY

He sounds nice.

Imagine doing over dumb ish like this... Ridiculous.

Wouldn’t have been shot to death if they hadn’t stabbed an innocent person.

That seems sensible.

Adios!

One down. Let's keep going.

this is the price we pay for a) being in the midst of a global viral pandemic & b) having a federal government purposefully sandbagging the response guaranteeing it will cause as much human & financial damage that it possibly can. donald trump works for russia, this is the bill

Good. We need less stupid out there

What did they do with his red MAGA hat?

White folk smh

Trump have his supporters losing their minds committing crimes!

Karma is divine.

MaskLivesMatter

Well he had it coming

Good!!

Time to riot right? Where’s all the “they didn’t need to shoot that many times” or “it was just a knife he didn’t deserve it”?

You can thank Trump for making it a political issue. As Americans we protect one another wear a mask!

And this is America, folks.

Ok couple of points. Don't want to wear a mask and they refuse you service take your money and go else where. Don't stab people ain't cool Don't bring a knife to a gun fight If you charge a cop with a weapon they will kill you. Just stop and cooperate and let a judge figure

Corona culture wars 🤨

thank god he was white...

Covid19 bullet wounds.

People out here are getting stupider and stupider. So let me get this straight, wear a mask for what 30-60 mins and still have my life OR refuse, get angry, stab an innocent person & get killed by police? This is a no brainer. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Follow the law and don't get stupid with police and you won't have any issues. Choose a different path and face the consequences. Simple.

America is in danger. Ignorance, conspiracy theories and stupidity are killing us. We need to invest more in education. Wearing a mask during a pandemic should be one of the simplest acts of patriotism. Trump and his minions are not unpatriotic. Wear a mask folks.

The real TDS.

One less jerk. I am glad his victim will be fine.

A good shoot.

all these stupid mask mandates are getting out of hand. idiots on both sides.

Amazing, where's all the protesters and stop funding the cops now? All hiding under their beds/rocks?

One less vote for Trump

Deputy saved Darwin some time.

Dying over wearing a mask and hurting someone else ?!?! Are you kidding me ?

WOW what is happening out there it's a mask not that big a deal just wow

Happy ending.....

most dangerous part of america= gas stations and convenient stores in the middle of nowhere

He rushed the officer, who shot in self defense. No problem there. Will his death certificate list Covid?

I wonder if this guy’s friends and family will take solace that this guy was Shot (yay 2nd amendment) By a cop (blue lives matter) Not wearing a mask (yay freedom) Kind of a trifecta for them

Beginning to think this virus has a hidden element to it. Far to many people are behaving like idiots and becoming un necessary violent. Been non stop since the virus took hold. China is watching, waiting and laughing.

I am just worried for the customer how is he

Was it worth it ? Smh . Just wear a mask, you can just take it off on way to /from the car.

AndrewBernal87 Apparently you really can die from not wearing a mask.

I guarantee if that was a black man people would be outraged. “All he had was a knife” But no this was a man who should’ve had a knife and shouldn’t have stabbed anyone.

Hold up! This man had weapon , in hand and charging the deputy and in turn the deputy responds to this dire , clear and present danger, 'fear for life/ life threatening event with a freaking stun gun?! This is the time to pull out the real GUN!

See, you can die if you don't wear a mask.

blood on whitmer's hands?

Well, that's one way to die from Covid, I guess. One less asshole.

Is the man he stabbed ok?

Mask it or casket?

Lost your life because you didn’t want to wear a damn mask.

See, he wasn’t wearing a mask and he never got coronavirus!
