SILVER PLUME, Colo. — A man shot and killed by a Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy in June appeared to have been experiencing a mental health crisis at the time of the shooting, according to body camera video provided by the victim’s family attorney.

The video also raises questions about police tactics used during the 70-minute encounter between 22-year-old Christian Glass and officers from several agencies that responded to the scene on the night of June 10.

Glass had crashed his car into a bush, getting it stuck, on a road in Silver Plume and called 911 for help. During the encounter, deputies and officers from several agencies tried to persuade Glass to exit his vehicle, but he wouldn't, saying he was terrified.

“Once they decided to force entry – break a window – it was predictable that this event could most likely unfold the way it did,” he said. “It’s predictable in law enforcement that that is going to provoke some type of negative unfortunate response, and we’ve seen it time and time again.”

1. Wonder if it was one of the character actors associated with the train

They have a tourist trap train attraction that runs between Silver Plume and Georgetown.
We were out there in August and went out to eat and the entire crew was there in full character.

5. I can't imagine they see too much action outside DUI's.

They clearly lacked mental health training.

4. More details:

Authorities finally break the window around 15 minutes later — immediately screaming orders at him to “drop the knife.”

Glass repeatedly screams in terror, his head swinging around to look at the officers surrounding his vehicle.

He continues screaming in clear terror as officers fire beanbags at him — and one of the officers calls out, “Someone tase his ass!”

One of the officers then unloads a flurry of shots as Glass holds the knife up as another officer approaches his window.

An autopsy showed that Glass “died as the result of multiple gunshot wounds,” including five in his torso. “The manner of death, in my opinion, is homicide,” the pathologist wrote.
