NYPD Bodycam Footage Shows Bronx Man Told Cops 'Shoot Me'

**Volume Warning** A knife wielding Bronx man told cops to "shoot me, shoot me" during a tense street confrontation last month in which the officers fired six times and killed the suspect. The release of the 48 seconds of video, a composite of views from the body cameras of the two officers involved, showed Michael Hansford, 52, chasing a man identified as his landlord around a car as two officers arrived. Investigators said Hansford had a dispute over back rent with his landlord, whose jacket he slashed with the knife by the time the cops got there. The officers, who the NYPD did not identify, are heard on the audio repeatedly telling Hansford to "drop the knife." The bodycam video images were generally dark but in the end showed Hansford step off a sidewalk and advance toward officers, telling them numerous times to "shoot me" in the moments before he was shot.
