长达数小时的人体摄像镜头于周四在警察开枪打死了纳吉·西布鲁克他是新泽西州的反暴力活动家，在一次明显的精神健康危机中拨打了911。
根据新泽西州总检察长办公室的说法，帕特森31岁的西布鲁克是在警方3月3日抵达他家五个小时后被枪杀的。新泽西州总检察长办公室在调查这起致命事件时，公布了经过编辑的镜头和西布鲁克拨打的911电话。
为反暴力组织Paterson Healing Collective工作的Seabrooks遭到致命枪击，引发了抗议和要求改革的呼声。
根据州检察长办公室的说法，帕特森警察局的官员在早上7点43分左右赶到了西布鲁克的公寓，“回应一个遇险者的911电话”，发现他被锁在浴室里。
州总检察长办公室表示，西布鲁克的家人告诉警官，他一直“产生幻觉，行为异常”，可能是“对他吸食的某种东西产生了不良反应”。在911电话中，可以听到Seabrooks请求有人帮助护送他到他的车，因为他收到了威胁。
司法部长办公室表示，Seabrooks告诉警方，“有人想杀我，我需要有人护送，”尽管现场的警察确定没有威胁。
司法部长办公室说，西布鲁克告诉警官，他有两把刀和一把枪，可以听到他一度说“他要死在浴室里，并带走一名警官”。
当局表示，在整个事件中，警方和家人试图让西布鲁克从浴室出来接受帮助，因此更多的官员、危机谈判人员、该部门应急响应小组成员和紧急医疗服务人员对公寓做出了回应。
“在遭遇的不同时间，警察部署了大约15枚不致命的海绵头射弹，其中一些击中了西布鲁克先生，但没有有效制服他，”总检察长办公室说。
当武装人员站在浴室门外时，西布鲁克一度表示他们要向他开枪。
“没人会开枪打你，”一名警察说。
警察告诉他“放下刀”,走出浴室寻求帮助。
大约在下午12点35分，可以看到Seabrooks从浴室出来，手里拿着一把刀。可以听到一名警官大喊“放下武器”，随后两名紧急反应小组成员——被确认为警官Anzore Tsay和警官Jose Hernandez——开枪打了他。
当局说，西布鲁克被送往当地医院，并于下午12点51分宣布死亡。
对西布鲁克死因的调查仍在进行中。总检察长办公室表示，一旦完成，将提交给大陪审团，以确定是否有任何涉案人员应被起诉。
根据司法部长办公室的说法，西布鲁克家人的代表在公开发布前审查了录像。
在致命枪击事件发生后，帕特森康复集体呼吁发布该事件的人体摄像机镜头。它还呼吁将参与枪击事件的官员置于行政休假状态，并建立一个非核心危机应对小组和一个民事投诉审查委员会，该委员会可能拥有“调查和传票权”。
Body camera footage released in fatal police shooting of anti-violence activist Najee Seabrooks
Hours of body camera footage was released Thursday in thefatal police shooting of Najee Seabrooks, a New Jersey anti-violence activist who called 911 during an apparent mental health crisis.
Seabrooks, 31, of Paterson, was shot five hours after police responded to his home on March 3, according to the New Jersey Attorney General's Office, which released redacted footage and 911 calls made by Seabrooks amid its investigation into the deadly incident.
The fatal shooting of Seabrooks, who worked for the anti-violence organization Paterson Healing Collective, has sparked protests and calls for reform.
According to the state attorney general's office, officers from the Paterson Police Department responded to Seabrooks' apartment around 7:43 a.m. "in response to a 911 call from an individual in distress" and found him locked inside a bathroom.
Members of Seabrooks' family told officers he had been "hallucinating and behaving erratically" and may have been "experiencing a bad reaction to something he had smoked," the state attorney general's office said. In 911 calls, Seabrooks can be heard asking for someone to help escort him to his car because he's received threats.
Seabrooks told police that "people are trying to kill me, I need an escort," though the officers at the scene determined there were no threats, the attorney general's office said.
Seabrooks told officers he had two knives and a gun and at one point can be heard saying "that he was going to die in the bathroom and take one of the officers with him," the attorney general's office said.
Throughout the incident, additional officers, crisis negotiators, members of the department's emergency response team and emergency medical services responded to the apartment as police and family members attempted to get Seabrooks to come out of the bathroom to receive help, authorities said.
"At various times during the encounter officers deployed approximately 15 less than lethal sponge-tipped projectiles some of which struck Mr. Seabrooks, but were not effective in subduing him," the attorney general's office said.
As armed officers stood outside the bathroom door, Seabrooks at one point remarked they were going to shoot him.
"Nobody's going to shoot you," an officer says.
The officers told him to "drop the knives" and to come out of the bathroom to get help.
At approximately 12:35 p.m., Seabrooks could be seen coming out of the bathroom while holding a knife in his hand. An officer can be heard yelling "drop it" right before two members of the Emergency Response Team -- identified as Officer Anzore Tsay and Officer Jose Hernandez -- opened fire, striking him.
Seabrooks was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead at 12:51 p.m., authorities said.
The investigation into Seabrooks' death is ongoing. Once completed, it will be presented to a grand jury to determine if any officers involved should be charged, the attorney general's office said.

Representatives of Seabrooks’ family reviewed the footage prior to its public release, according to the attorney general's office.
In the wake of the fatal shooting, the Paterson Healing Collective had called for the release of body camera footage of the incident. It has also called for the officers involved in the shooting to be placed on administrative leave, and the creation of a non-carceral crisis response team and a civilian complaint review board that could have "investigatory and subpoena power."
