Las Vegas police released footage Tuesday of an officer shooting a naked man outside a southeast valley church last weekend. Police said Jason David Funke, 25, initially complied with officer commands to drop his gun and raise his hands after they responded at about 11 a.m. Saturday to Life Springs Christian Church, 2075 E. Warm Springs Road. Funke then began walking toward a group of officers, Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said. When he was about 10 feet from the group, the officers told him to get on the ground. Fasulo said Funke took off running from officers toward his gun. Body camera footage shows Funke walking away from officers for a few steps, and then running as a police dog was released and officers started to chase him.
The dog bit an officer’s belt instead of chasing Funke. Officer Mark Hatten fired one round with a rifle, hitting Funke in the upper shoulder within 8 yards of the dropped gun, Fasulo said. Fasulo said police dogs go through intense training around loud noises, but the animals can be unpredictable. In this case, the dog was distracted by the officer who was closer than Funke, Fasulo said. Funke was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with survivable injuries, Fasulo said. He is in custody and faces gross misdemeanor charges of possession of a dangerous weapon at a school or child-care property and indecent exposure, Fasulo said. Fasulo said Funke has no criminal history and has faced issues with depression and suicidal thoughts in the past.

This time it was not necessary to shoot
This was yet another cop who thinks he is judge jury and executioner
Damn Tarzan with a gun
i Wouldnt be Surprised if That DOG Bites his WEENER Off…
Wtf would the pilot move that way. Worst timing ever
I went streaking once but it was late at night and I did not have a gun and was not under the influence. I guess that's why I'm still alive.
WHY LISA
Geeeez, could have at least worn a holster. For his gun that is… definately wasnt a concealed weapons violation.
looked like CGI
Sir, do you have any more weapons on you???
I thought that was Jesus for a second, lol 😂
Thats a T-800 guys
Háhhá fuck dog = hotdog
This guy was DEFINITELY unstable!
Cop: Go get em boy!
Dog: Here I go… ooo a piece of candy!
LOL, he was naked and his name was funke
I don’t know who looks more confused,, the mutt, or the cops. Either way,, that idiot who fired that shot coulda just shot him in the leg…. he has a scope n everything. Pathetic cops
Funny, I didn't know about that low-budget Terminator remake.
Guy gets shot in the back with a high powered rifle and idiot's here are making stupid comments. They fail to see this is what our police are turning to, cold blooded killers. You people must hate your rights
They could have just taken his gun what he left there. Ten cops, a helicopter and a dog should be enough to take down a naked, unarmed guy without shooting.
They fucked this one up real bad. Had they retrieved the gun immediately, he wouldn't have gotten shot.
ONE TAPPED
Cops love shooting people in the back.
Even your own dog turned on use
