Some parts of America currently have members of their police force under serious scrutiny, after various injuries and unarmed shootings.

It's pretty horrific stuff and is dominating the 24 hour news stations on US television at the moment, as well as stirring a racial debate. Particularly with what has gone on in Ferguson, where 18 year old unarmed African American, Michael Brown, was shot  and killed by an officer. 

This video, where the police officer, Jesse Kidder wears a GoPro, shows a suicidal murder suspect running at the cop begging him to shoot him. It's incredibly tense viewing, but shows the cop keeping a cool head.

The man is suspected of killing his fiancé and friend and Officer Kidder was told by his dispatcher that he may have a gun under his seat. "Law enforcement officers all across the nation have to deal with split-second decisions that mean life or death. I wanted to be absolutely sure before I used deadly force," said Kidder.

The man is currently in police custody.
