This comes as, in Utah, a video has emerged of a police officer shooting and killing a man with the man’s own gun. The video shows Roy police officers approaching 38-year-old Nicolas Sanchez, who is standing outside a gas station on February 21. He is carrying a gun on his waist. Utah is an open-carry state. The police officers demand he come speak with them, and when he asks why, they threaten to arrest him. When he lifts up his sweatshirt, one officer then lunges at Sanchez, who begins to run away. He’s then shot multiple times. The Guardian reports he was shot both by one of the officers using his police gun and by another officer who grabbed Sanchez’s gun and shot him with it.
