Buffalo police have released body-worn camera footage documenting an incident involving officers and a man holding two black rods.
The footage details the sequence of events from the officers' arrival, through their attempts to de-escalate, to the eventual subduing of the man.
Upon the arrival of officers, the footage shows the man repeatedly stating "sorry." Officers then issued repeated requests for the man to drop the rods.
When the man did not comply with these requests, officers deployed tasers. Following the taser deployment, the man advanced while swinging the rods. An officer subsequently wrestled the man to the ground, subduing him.
