7:05Now Playing"Two officers in Georgia are have been placed on administrative leave and are being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigations after the Friday shooting of a man whose family had called 911 over a possible suicide attempt.
Alcia Herron told First Coast News that she called 911 requesting an ambulance because she was concerned about diabetes medications taken by her fiance, 43-year-old Jack Lamar Roberson.
But police said that they had been informed that the man had become combative while the ambulance was en route so officers were sent instead. At a press conference on Monday, Waycross Police Department Chief of Police Tony Tanner claimed that Roberson lunged at the officers with "weapons" and they were forced to shoot, killing him."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
