...Durham is heard pleading with the dispatcher to "send someone ASAP" in audio recordings obtained this week by KVVU-TV in Las Vegas.

Koren identified the officer who shot Durham as Alexander Bookman, 26.

Bookman was one of the first officers to arrive and kicked in the front door. Koren said the officer found Durham in a hallway struggling over a knife with the intruder.

In a short clip of body camera video released by police, the officer yells for them to drop the knife, then fires one round. Durham and the intruder both fall to the floor, then the officer moves closer and fires five more rounds while standing over them, the video shows.

Durham, 43, died in his home. ...

If you don't want to get shot, don't call 911. They're busy, they're armed, and they're kind of pissed off.

Pigs are worthless garbage.

We'd be safer without them than with the scum we have now.

Our own pigs must have an associate degree in law enforcement to be hired, and a bachelor degree to rise above sergeant in the KKKop food chain. Result? Rare complaints about KKKop service to the community.

That is what caught my attention as well.

They fell to the floor, and the officer moved closer to fire 5 more rounds into them.
