The last words Michael Chad Breinholt heard were, “You’re about to die, my friend.”

Then a West Valley City police sergeant pulled the trigger.

Breinholt’s mother, Susan Neese, has seen the final moments of her 31-year-old son’s life. The body camera footage from Aug. 23, 2019, shows he was intoxicated at the police department.

With his hands cuffed behind his back, he briefly wrestled with two officers. One screamed that Breinholt was grabbing his holstered gun. Sgt. Tyler Longman rushed into the room, made his declaration and fired.

“He took the time to think about that, to say those words,” Neese said in a recent interview. “And then aim and shoot. And kill Chad.”

Watching the video was heartbreaking for Breinholt’s family members. That shock deepened when their attorney said this wasn’t the first time Longman had shot and killed someone while on duty.

It was his third.

1. If He Had Time And Attention To Spare To Say, Ma'am

He did not have to do it.

People trying to live action movie comic book lives are a menace.

This is flat murder, and needs to be prosecuted as such, pour encourager les autres.

[Faux pas]

2. Kickin' for Justice

[MagickMuffin]

3. 3rd person murdered by Longman

He needs to be charged with murder charges.

[Calculating]

4. Another psychopath with a badge.

Gotta love it.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

5. Absolutely heartbreaking. K&R. FTP.

6. I note this is the West Valley City police

the same police force that managed to bollix up the entire Susan Powell investigation.

7. K&R, ... ANOTHER example of "the good cops know who these psychopaths LEOs are !!"

[Bettie]

12. More "good cops" who enable

this behavior.

So, the question remains: are they actually good cops or are they complicit? Because it sure looks like they don't care if their "brothers" murder people.

[Thrill]

8. He was so threatened by a guy handcuffed?

This is where the Feds need to step in and charge

[Takket]

9. he's living a movie... this is murder

[stillcool]

10. in the police station. One guy in handcuffs

in the frigging police station? This country is sick.

11. Just hearbreaking. The poor kid. I read a bit about what his family had to say about

him. He was struggling.

And that bastard, trigger-happy, psycho-cop! He didn't have to kill him. There was no threat. The kid was handcuffed and the cop has a habit of blowing people away at the slightest provocation. He should be fired at the very least. Personally, I would like to see more happen to him, but it's not logical and would never happen.

13. Fucking pigs.

Called to help and what’s the first thing they do? Concoct a charge to fuck him over and then toy with him for a couple hours.

Like fucking bored rotten kids hanging around in the station pulling the wings off flies.

Big crime fighters they’ve got there toying with an intoxicated suicidal person.
