You see in the video he\u2019s coming down in what I would describe as a sledgehammer-like motion towards the officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blanford initiated\u00a0a stop on Deng Manyoun, 35, who after being contacted walked away and grabbed an eight foot long metal flag pole. Blanford drew down on Manyoun and when the suspect swung, Blanford fired two shots, killing the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The actions of Blanford drew criticism from activists like Chanelle Helm, who spoke out against Blanford during a local meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re telling me you can\u2019t defeat a person with a flag pole who seems to be intoxicated?\u201d said Helm. \u201cAn officer is supposed to be trained to protect people. He lost all type of control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Conrad explained that officers are not required to move up the chain of escalation of force systematically, and can jump from non-lethal to lethal force if they feel they are in danger of serious bodily injury or death.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficers, to the extent possible, utilize an escalating scale of options when they are deciding to use force,\u201d said Conrad. \u201cBut you need to understand that officers are not required to use one option and then the next option. They can move ahead to another option if it appears to be reasonable given the circumstances of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blanford, who has received 18 commendations during his time on the force, has yet to be interviewed by internal investigators, but plans to do so are underway.<\/p>\n<p>(<em>The following is a submission from freelance writer Brent McCluskey<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louisville Police Chief Steve Conrad defended his officer\u2019s use of deadly force during Saturday\u2019s fatal shooting and released CCTV footage of the incident to update the media on the ongoing investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":38504,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,25,261,241,216,240],"tags":[132,291,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-38503","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-current-events","9":"category-police-state","10":"category-rapid-fire","11":"category-s-h-blannelberry","12":"category-this-week","13":"tag-buzz","14":"tag-dgu","15":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Louisville Police Chief Releases Video of Fatal Shooting to Quell Public Outcry<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Louisville Police Chief Steve Conrad defended his officer\u2019s use of deadly force during Saturday\u2019s fatal shooting and released CCTV footage of the incident.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/louisville-police-chief-releases-video-of-fatal-shooting-to-quell-public-outcry\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Louisville Police Chief Releases Video of Fatal Shooting to Quell Public Outcry\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Louisville Police Chief Steve Conrad defended his officer\u2019s use of deadly force during Saturday\u2019s fatal shooting and released CCTV footage of the incident to update the media on the ongoing investigation.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/louisville-police-chief-releases-video-of-fatal-shooting-to-quell-public-outcry\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-06-17T14:16:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T19:27:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/KY-Shooting.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
