VIDEOS OF THE OFFICER THAT HAVE 
EXPLODED ON TWITTER AND TONIGHT,
THEY HAD AN IMPACT AT SAN JOSE

FRIDAY IN SAN JOSE, 33-YEAR-OLD 
SAN JOSE POLICE OFFICER JARED 
APPEARS READY FOR ACTION, 
SWAYING WITH HIS PROJECTILE 
LAUNCHER, HIS DEMEANOR DRAWS A 
REACTION FROM THE CROWD.
>> THEY HAVE A SMILE ON THEIR 
FACES.
>> HE RUNS AWAY AND BACK AND 
SAYS --
>> ANDREA PRITCHETT IS A 
FOUNDING MEMBER OF BERKELEY COP 
WATCH. 
>> HE WAS ESCALATING AN ALREADY 
SEEMINGLY TENSE SITUATION, AND 
MAKING IT WORSE, AND THUS 
ENDANGERING MEMBERS OF THE 
PUBLIC. 
>> Reporter: IN A SECOND VIDEO, 
A WOMAN ASKS HIM, WHY ARE YOU ON
THAT SIDE?
HE ANSWERS --
>> SECONDS LATER, HE REACHES 
AROUND ANOTHER OFFICER AND FIRES
A PROJECTILE.
THE SCUFFLE IS ON.
COP WATCH POINTS OUT THOSE 
PROJECTILES CAN BE DANGEROUS

TWITTER TODAY.
AND THIS EVENING, SAN JOSE'S 
POLICE CHIEF ANNOUNCED HE HAS 
REMOVED THE OFFICER FROM STREET

I'M SURE IF HE WAS SITTING HERE,
WE BE EMBARRASSED AS WELL BUT I

HE IS A GOOD KID WHO MADE A 
MISTAKE AND LET HIS EMOTIONS GET
THE BETTER OF HIM. 
>> THE ONLY ASIAN-AMERICAN ON

THE OFFICER SHOULD NOT BE FIRED.
>> WE HAVE TO SEE AND CALL OUT 
WRONG, BUT WE NEED TO PROVIDE 
SPACE TO WIN PEOPLE'S HEARTS AND
MINDS, AND ALLOW THEM A CHANCE 
TO ATONE, AND TO WIN ALLIES, AS 
WE CONTINUE ON THE RIGHTEOUS 
ACT.
