Officer-worn body camera footage shared at the press conference shows the suspect holding a knife as the officer, identified only as Officer Ramirez, orders him to drop it five times. The officer then shoots the suspect, later identified as a 17-year-old teen. He was taken to a hospital where he continues to be in serious but stable condition, according to police.
According to the Tracy Police BWC footage, when the first officer arrived, he made contact with the knife-wielding male and the suspect approached him. The suspect is given commands to drop the knife, but fails to do so and continues to approach the officer and his brother, police claim. Police Chief Sekou Millington said that the officer did have a taser, but "didn't have time to react to consider a taser" instead of a gun.
Why is his religion mentioned
The Tracy Police Department held a press conference on Tuesday evening regarding an officer-involved shooting of a Muslim teen who was armed with a knife. Fixed it.
Why mention hes muslim and maybe he's not Tracy and ktvu better list everyone's religion from now forward.
KTVU memo: Be sure to use trending key words : Muslim, Black, LGBTQ, etc.
Failure to comply
CAIR of Sacramento is right there with a comment for something in Tracy but boy where were they with commentary on Omar Mateen killing people in Orlando. Silent as Marcel Marceau
What the hell does the boy being Muslim have anything to do with this. Stop trying to make something more of this than what it is.
The criminal lived. Good for the officer.
Y do u label this headline “Muslim teen”? Would u label it “Christian teen” or “Baptist teen” or “Mormon teen” or “catholic teen” had his religion been one of those!!!! No u would not have! So y do it cause his religion is Muslim! U r pandering and trying to inflame with this

Tracy Police release footage of officer-involved shooting of teenThe Tracy Police Department held a press conference on Tuesday evening regarding an officer-involved shooting of a Muslim teen that occurred on Friday. The suspect’s religion is immaterial to the emergency response indicated for someone charging people with a knife. Shame on CBS News for baselessly and irresponsibly stoking ethnic conflict. This is why trust in media is so low.

Lawmakers denounce police in Tyre Nichols' death but split on potential for new police lawsBipartisan outrage has continued following the release of graphic footage of police officers beating Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee, earlier this month — with lawmakers saying such a brutal reaction was 'unconscionable.' Hate this keeps happening. But i feel it's time also to shed light on the black men who are incarcerated and being tortured and killed by the same type of agencies especially in Alabama but no one considers that after you service the PD you have to survive DOC officers! This lawyer must be a billionaire by now. Sure hope he donates to the community Why now? What about those hundreds of other instances?
