Police in Utah killed a 25-year-old during a traffic stop earlier this month after he refused to obey commands and an officer said he had a gun, according to body camera footage.

Police in Utah killed a 25-year-old during a traffic stop earlier this month after he refused to obey commands and an officer said he had a gun, body camera footage released Wednesday reveals.

The video provides a look at the fatal encounter between Allan and police officers. The day after the deadly shooting, the Farmington Police DepartmentThat initial announcement did not mention that the officers started shooting after one officer yelled “gun!” and that a gun was later found on the floor of Allan’s car, as the newly released footage shows.

When the officer told Allan the car was lacking registration, Allan replied he didn't need registration and wouldn't answer questions, and the first officer then called for backup. A second officer who had arrived on the scene as backup then threatened to break Allan’s window and pull him out if he did not voluntarily get out.

The initial officer who pulled Allan over then opened the door of the car. That's when police say Allan's hand moved towards his right hip, where his holster was. Another officer tried to remove Allan from the car as the others stood behind him, and at least one of the officers then began yelling,"gun!"

some of y’all are so slow and give me vibes that y’all would do the same as that young man. he definitely was reaching for a gun and if one of them ain’t seen him reach for it , one of them cops would of been dead and all they were doing was their job. grow up & take shit serious

It would be absolutely key and interesting to see the body cams and any other camera. Yelling gun is a claim otherwise. Suspect sounded by the story line dodgy as hell but examining closer would be just what the doctor prescribed

Lmfaoooooo what a twist from a black guy. Ain’t fooling any smart American with that verbiage

I didn’t see a gun in the hand of the kid when I watch the video. Did anyone else see it? I just hear the cops yelling “gun!”

Watched the whole video..Chase Allen died because he was an idiot…he had a gun and was moving towards it…that is exactly how you get shot by cops…take note

Instead of insisting you don't have to answer questions, put both hands on the wheel until the police officer tells you to reach for your I.D. Instead of talking BS & rolling your window down a crack, roll it all the way. If you're innocent, comply. If you're guilty, comply.

How's that feel mom? Since you're responsible.

Police are Not judge, jury and executioner. What's the point of all that training if their solution to the slightest resistance is Bang Bang?!?

Um...maybe follow the orders directed to you by the police? Oh well, at least we have one less criminal to worry about on our streets.

Is it illegal to have a gun now? Is it an automatic death sentence to possess one?

Murdering cops said what to protect themsevles? This law student happened to have been a very advent FOMA requester in Utah.

Raise your hand if you know how to not get killed by the police.

Lethal force should the last not the first option

Dunst cap!

Sovereign Citizen BS he played that game and lost.

Darwin Award winner

I think the leap to suggesting that he had a fraudulent passport was disingenuous and needlessly escalatory. I'm not saying the cops were wrong to shoot him, but maybe there's at least one lesson to be learnt here.

WLM protests begin tonight. Maybe I'll burn down my neighbor's shed and fire a few rounds into the air. Maybe even stop at Walmart on my way home and do a quick smash and grab.

He’s not black…. Scroll on.

Don't any of these👺idiots getting killed know that you're supposed to listen to the police🚓 or you might get🗡️ killed!?! I'm a brown/white girl my momma and daddy told me young 'listen to the police if you don't want to get shot or go to jail' & I didn't so I listened!!!

Guy was a fukkin maroon.

Of course they said that. What about the video?

The news media criminalizes the police again with personal opinions and rumors until it becomes what people believe to be the truth.

Checkpoint Charlie? 25 years old. That's not really so young. But it's still such a needless waste of life. We need law. Nothing should excuse summary execution and that fool should have at least lived long enough to get convicted. There's gotta be a better way to get it done.

Sovereign Nation thinking guy

Wow 🤨 Add UtahGov to states not to visit 😶

Suicide by cop over nothing

Just curious but I don't see the victims race mentioned so I'm confused whether to blame the guns or racist police
