Arlington, Texas — On Thursday, April 25, 2024, at approximately 4:41 p.m., the Arlington Police Department responded to an apartment complex in the 2700 block of Lawrence Road after they say a man, later identified as 31-year-old Michael Bassey, called 911 claiming he stabbed and killed someone. As officers approached the apartment in question, they could see Bassey looking out the window. Due to the nature of the call, officers set up a perimeter around the apartment and gave verbal commands for Bassey to come outside and show his hands. Bassey exited the apartment holding a knife. Officers instructed Bassey multiple times to drop the knife, but he did not comply.
Bassey then suddenly moved in the direction of the officers, at which point one of the officers fired his service weapon. Bassey fell to the ground, but quickly stood up and began running towards a wooded area on the east side of the complex between the apartment buildings and N. Collins Street. Officers pursued Bassey on foot and continued giving him commands to stop and drop the knife. As they approached an embankment, Bassey turned around, raised the knife, and began to move towards the officers. The same officer who fired his service weapon near the apartment building then fired his service weapon a second time. Bassey turned away from the officers and began running down the embankment into a field along N. Collins Street.
When he got to the field, he went to the ground still holding the knife. A second officer deployed his taser, immobilizing Bassey. The other officers then moved in and detained him. As they were placing him in handcuffs, they realized Bassey had a gunshot wound. The officers immediately began performing life saving measures on Bassey until paramedics arrived. He was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. No officers were injured during the incident. Additional responding units went back to the apartment and performed a protective sweep to check for anyone who may be injured or need help. They did not locate anyone inside. Officers also checked with area hospitals to see if anyone arrived at an emergency room with stab wounds or other injuries, but received no such reports.

These dispatchers are an embarrassment. I swear they hire the most incompetent people available
He was so dumb he forgot the dispatcher needed reliable information to complete his request
Why do they turn into oily rubberbands once police show up?
Most R worded 911 dispatchers award goes tooo!!!! ARLINGTON!
911 dispatchers are bottom of the barrel
A great example of the confusion, uncertainty and chaos that surrounds MANY police calls for service. And yet most of you expect flawless precision on the part of the police response. Learn about and support your police.
That dude dropped like an idle player being disconnected.
I'd be annoyed too if i was that dispatcher. That person was speaking in fucking riddles.
Idk who is more dumber him or the dispatcher 🤦🏻♂️
I had to skip the dispatcher part.. she is horrible..
gua gua gua gua gua gua
Are 911 operators trained to be this bad? Are they talking on a potato?
"The graphics in unrecord go crazy"
@4:17 the unrecord graphics 💀
“Please cooperate”
dances
Did anyout catch what state this happened in? Arlington ___?
I have to skip the dispatchers parts of the video, it's embarrassing to listen too
There's crocs lol
80s action stars didn't need shields.
Pathetic!
officer: someone taser!
other 2 officers with taser: nope! can't do that
Another reason .45ACP was developed for the Marine Corps!
This guy was talkin about him self in third person took bullets from the first person on scene after talkin to the second dispatcher
Worst dispatcher ever
Why was this listed as "Cop fatally shoots…"The man was shot twice and then tased… He was still alive. I guess maybe he died later
Hold my beer
😂👱🏿♂️
it looked like a boar hunt 😅
Worst. 911. Operator. Ever.
Another cop scared of a knife
I'm italian, and i don't understand why the dispatcher never understand what the people tell him, always says to repeat what they say. Is it a problem whit the english language?
I'm curious about it because I've often noticed it in many calls in other video. Thank you!
😢
So ..who was Michaelangelo ???🤔
Fatal?
Too much training and procedures. A cop can be over trained and lose their ability to think for themselves.
Got a suit on like he’s the Joker
Everyone knows the Joker is white,
If this video wasn't available, liberal media would report that he was wrongly executed while saving a dog from a burning building.
Every other dispatcher in the world – "Stay on the phone with me"
This dispatcher – "OK, I'll disconnect"
Do dispatchers need better phones or are they all this ignorant
Did the dude get shot point blank by a 40 and did not even say ouchy?
