Save you guys a click.

Mark Capps, who won four Grammys for his work on polka albums, was killed during an encounter at his home.

Finally back to that good old fashioned American gun violence. The 6 year olds were never going to become a thing.

Turns out the horrible noises the neighbor reported were coming from an accordion.

so the wife and adult step-daughter go to the cops saying he threatened them with a gun, and when he fell asleep they escaped - so police show to to his place first thing raring to get him

i don't know what this man did/didn't do - but i do know the video makes it look like that first cop opened up on the dude before the other officer could even tell him to get his hands up

maybe i'm wrong, but it sure appears like the guy barely gets to his front door (full glass) when they start blasting through it

Congress needs to investigate the link between polka and violence.

If you have gun in front of police it is almost a guarantee you will be shot.

Dude got straight up murdered. They gave him less than a second to comply. It's like the cop wasn't actually giving an order he wanted the guy to follow, he was just saying the magic words that allowed him to kill without consequences. That's not how it's supposed to work.

In 1998 I was working as a Manager in hotel convention center. There was a annual Polka convention, that was the longest weekend of my life. All my staff were annoyed by the music and the cheap ass guest. I had never had to bribe staff to stay till that weekend.

0/10 would not reccomend.

Oh no, now parents are going to say polka music makes people violent, then all the rebellious kids will flock to it, create new musical subgenres by infusing it with an array of modern subgenres, which will eventually be swept up into pop culture, which corporations will take note, then push modern polka hip pop, or pip pop, or whatever, further into pop culture, till it's infused into many facets of our lives.

I don't know if I'm ready for the polka musical revolution.

Click bait titles are so low effort but work so well. It's one of the reasons I prefer reddit to news sites.

I feel guilty everything I see a news link saying "Marvel Stars Painful Message Before Suicide" with a picture of Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman. I knownits just gonna be some background actor that no one has ever heard of that played a background character with maybe one line. Bonus points for the times when it happened months or years ago

Didn't save much. People still want to watch the video. Especially when it seems the cop straight up murdered the guy with his hands down (from what I saw frame by frame there was no way he was a threat).

This one sounds like an actual barricaded individual. Didn’t we just learn that protocol is to secure the area and call in a trained negotiator to make contact?

No, let’s just go in on someone we already know is alone and likely having some kind of mental breakdown and is armed.

That was a waste of a click. I was hoping it was going to be Kenye.

Why lead with "Grammy winner"? is that in ANY way significant to the events that unfolded? Or is NBC news desperate for click-bait?

Polka. Just like I always suspected. We need to keep a close watch on Weird AL.

Polka King goes on rampage at home. Killed in syncopated gun battle to accordion and tuba music. Oktoberfest mourns.
