Alameda Police Chief Nishant Joshi is haunted by a recent massacre that left a family dead. The community was shocked to learn that on July 10, a man had killed his wife, two sons, and in-laws.
Chief Joshi, thank you for giving this candid and raw interview. I am so sorry to all of you who have just endured this nightmare. Chief, you’re so incredibly thoughtful and professional. I cannot imagine anyone being released after doing this. My deepest condolences to the family and ❤and support to the officers, first responders, medical staff, and neighbors.
.....you have no idea how hurtful it is to pick up these children..... I no longer work for mortuary services ......but I am sensitive to our existance..... from life. 24/7
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of how often children are murdered by abusive, controlling, unhappy, unstable parents, often during separations and divorces of the parents. Leaving is the most dangerous time for victims. The victim parents are usually blamed if they are women. They should call it family violence or relationship violence instead of domestic violence and the murderer's claims about their partner and excuses should be dismissed unless they were truly victimized, but for this, there is absolutely no excuse. What a selfish, nasty person. There have been so many cases lately. So many children killed. Several cases in the last two weeks in California alone.
Colleen.... you think THIS is ROUGH?!? There's been murder cases & THEN...there's murder cases where victims are tortured for days, wks. months....& no one bats an eye. Sex trafficking w 1 & 2 yrs.olds.. being the victims. EVIL IS VERY REAL....& usa is amongst the leader in sex trafficking. From the scummy Elite, down to the pedophiles living across ur street
This is truly disappointing. My heart goes out to the entire community and even the first responders who had to witness this truly horrific incident. I have never seen anything as bad as this happen in this area. Especially in Alameda.
Dear God… I am a Berkeley resident & Oakland native with three beautiful sons, who are very similar ages as those boys - 14-year old son, 6-year-old son, 3-year-old son. My heart is breaking for all those in their hemisphere and all loved ones who survived them…which leads me to an unbearably sad conclusion: For her sake, I am in a *very* sad sense grateful, that the mother did not survive her children, but instead crossed over with them, rather than not. I say that only with empathy & the deepest sense of mercy. For me, to survive such a thing would be a life of torture…and I have witnessed & withstood tremendous adversity. It feels to me that it would be a fate FAR worse than death.. and I would simply want to be with my boys.😔💞😣💐 I am *truly* so so very sorry, as well, to the PD, their neighbors, and all else who have been touched by the tragedy of this horror-this unspeakable act of cruelty & misery. I’m so sorry.
@leward7788 Can you even imagine what our society would look like if the police weren't on the streets to pick up the pieces when when criminals do this. Just to let you know police aren't genies. We don't have a cop in every home.
As a family member and friend of police officers, you have no idea. PTSD is real and hard to watch. Yes they care. But I understand why you would say what you said. Criminals hate police.
I hate to say this, as painful as this is, I'm glad to see that he looks emotional, like he could easily cry. It is good to know that he is not hardened to this kind of tragic event. Police officers see so much, and they have to hold so much inside in order to do their jobs and get their work completed, no human being should ever become immune to this, ever. My heart breaks for the officers, all the police staff who have to investigate and work on this kind of scene. I hope the officers are mindful of their own mental health and their own souls, that they hug their own families and keep them close.
I’ve lived in Alameda 30 years and I can tell you most APD are NOT citizens of Alameda and are contract employees. They are not liked in Alameda, they are a joke.
Alameda County Prosecutor, says: "Everyone deserves a second chance", and will not sentence him to the death penalty, or special circumstances. SAY WHAT . . . This is disgusting. What second chance does his victims get.
We get what the majority of our community votes for! This should tell them that some of their neighbors are softies who believe others deserve a second chance no matter what they do!!
The Alameda County DA is a useleas piece of dirt but she DID NOT say this guy deserves a second chance. I am so sick of people just making things up and posting them and everybody believes it. There are enough reasons to hate that district attorney but you have no right to lie about everything.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I was relieved to hear it was by gun, and not knife. If someone was coming to kill my family, I’d pray it was a firearm, not stabbing, fire, physical assault, choking, all allowing extended periods of terror. And I don’t think I’d want to be saved if my whole family had been murdered. This is so terribly sad. The poor family members left to grieve such a monumental loss. 😢
This man has such an interesting and beautiful name. Both words are from Sanskrit. Nishant means "end of night"; Joshi means the practice of Hindu astrology. Very spiritual, evocative name, and clearly a very decent, intelligent individual.
This horrific! I know reports think they need to ask questions about the what, where and why but to ask this Chief to describe the scene is very inconsiderate! This murder will be in everyone's thoughts for the rest of their lives. Our service people go thru a lot. We expect them to do their job well but walk away without it bothering them. Thank God we still have humans answering the call of service to the community. Prayers for all.
I live a couple blocks from where this happened and after hearing the name of the suspect, I knew it sounded familiar and looked him on on facebook, and sure enough, it was someone I met a couple years ago while selling something to him through craigslist. When we met, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy and we talked for quite a while about dogs, since I had a dog that was with me and he mentioned that he wanted to get a rottweiler. That was the only interaction we had and i never heard or seen him again but I never thought anything was off about him from our short meetup.
It’s also the “philosophy” of the people in that county to walk free after the criminal gets a slap on the wrist. In most it’s our neighbors who voted these people in with that mindset!!
@@thesun-N-moon8885 fraud is despicable in Alameda county. I'm sick of the victim blaming and weaponized incompetence. The people who hate this county are not quiet. They pray for our demise. A county can't thrive if there's nefarious people constantly tearing it down. Tearing someone else down will not make you a better person. Keep your nasty comments to yourself. You're clearly not from here.
Seems This DA is always under fires . How the hell did she get in there. And why is she still there. Im so so sorry for the family, responders, rescue and medical staff. Youre all very brave and professional
I grew up in Alameda. This was suggested to me. Alameda was a crime free town. I know things have changed but I would've never guessed this in a million years. 😢
My mom worked there and I went to college in Alameda and I never saw a crime there, I pray for the family that God will comfort, strengthen, encourage and guide.💐
How inconsiderate of the interviewer to ask such specific questions about the murders. Asking where and who was murdered first after the Chief explained through tears how horrible the scene. So unnecessary and disrespectful to the victim’s family!
This was truly a very tragic event for everyone personally involved and or distantly knowledgeable of the horrific circumstances. This fact I can say with an experiential high level of confidence. However, with that being said and with all due respect for all the immediate victims as well associated persons affected by this horror’ you have no better leader in the position to serve and protect all your needs, than Chief Joshi. Chief Joshi will guide you through this moral turbulence. Great interview chief.
You can see how this tragedy has affected this police officer so much. He is going to need therapy to get through this terrible situation. Prayers to you and thank you for your service.
This reporter is a idiot‼️ asking this police chief to describe the visual he saw and the sound’s he heard on the body cam is heartbreaking for him you can see the tear’s in his eye’s is this the….i have to be the one to get the story no matter what painful questions I ask even though it just happened ‼️ That is ridiculous and he should never have done this interview so soon just my opinion and observation of this teary eyed police chief who is trying along with his men to try and figure out why this awful situation happened. 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Every last one of us needs to contact the district attorney via email phone calls and good old fashioned snail mail letters and push her to do the right thing. Make sure this criminal NEVER has a chance to get out of jail. No more caving into the insanity and wayward political correctness of “Governor Nonsense”. Please spread the word and take action.
Society doesn't appreciate all you do and face every day....my prayers for all our men in blue. YOU are on the Frontline of a twisted, messed-up society if reprobate. Thank you is not enough.
My condolences for the families, and the police officers . People do not understand what our police go through , it’s really horrific on officers who see and feel a scene like these . I personally salute 🫡 these officers and also share the pain you are feeling . God bless each of you . 😢😢😢🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
OmG !!! How could HE !!!! My deepest condolences to the familys ... this is beond evil ! I wish the familys strength and support and prayers for all them and all lawenforcement and EMT's firedepartment and all other staff who has to deal with this case! This socalled 'Father, Husband and Son in Law' has to be convivted and sentenced for life five times over!! How dare he did that to his family! This is so heartbrakeing and devastating.... lam so so sorry for all involved....
This is so tragic & senseless.Anyone who murders somebody with malicious intent like this man should be charged with 5 separate counts of 1 degree murder. What is wrong with a system where a person can kill 2 or more people yet the D.A groups all the murders as one crime?! 😮What message is that sending to others that might contemplate doing this! What about justice for the victims & their loved ones? Condolences to the family, friends & the community.Ontario, 🇨🇦 💔 😢
The Chief seems like a stand up guy & if I had a problem I'd want him on my side. The poor loved ones of this family at very least have a great advocate on their side. Blessings to them & chiefs staff at this lawful time. ❤
Sadly, but only in America, the land of the free where anyone has the right to bear arms so they can kill anyone they want to. Gun laws are far too relaxed. This has got to change.
First Responders suffer terrible PTSD! They go on some scenes they will never get out of their heads ever! Yes they’re offered therapy but especially police if they accept that therapy can lose their ability to do their jobs. Fire Dept those guys won’t admit they can’t sleep at night. They all suffer in Silence. Or take that stuff home every day. My heart breaks for this officer you can see and hear his torment on his face.
The subscription is under my husbands name, but I his wife Pricilla grew up in Alameda County (Hayward) and I never ever remember anything like this happening in the 16 years I lived there. Tragic. My thoughts and prayers for the family of those who were killed.
Let me get this straight. The police officer is at home with his wife on a walk, and the chief called him up to examine this murder? Way to go Chief. as if officers don’t get enough PTSD on their job
no, I think you might have gotten this mixed up. This police officer being interviewed is the police chief. He was off duty with his wife when this event occurred and one of his captains (a lower ranking officer to him) called him to let him know of this event and he went to the scene to help his team respond to it.
Is this the first time someone has killed their entire family in the Bay Area?? I’ll be honest I’m not surprised by this kind of thing anymore. Pretty sad
It’s good to explore and ask questions that relate to other agencies DA, publc defenders which are tax funded, and the judges. Hardly do I ever see them in the community being active. Ask yourself when was the last time you talked to a. Judge lol
@@SFNena415 exactly.🎯 Imagine.. using this tragedy as an opportunity for pushing their ulterior political motives & for network clout chasing. It’s sick. Prayers w/ the loved ones of the deceased and all touched by this tragedy-first responders included. *Shame on you, this “journalist” & KTVU.*
How many times does he have to say, "it was a horrible crime scene"? The interviewing person is trying to get more from the interview than there is. OKAY, it was bad let's move on.
May the LORD help everyone with the pain of this horrible thing, he should never be let go That will be telling others this behavior is OK Time to change this sentences. Please stop the madness now It’s happening more often 🙏🏻🙏🏻 prayers for our wonderful officers and fire department
@@RebeccaSefesi To me it sounded like a child/kid giggling but it sounded creepy and scary, I thought that they were at the house where it all happened which would make some sense maybe 🤔👀
Omg suffering, pain ,tragedy prayers for all murdered. My plea to everyone is treat domestic violence as deadly as we know what can happen. Police need more power to intervene. They are on the front lines and the horror they face everyday. God bless all our first responders,, please value hhard jobs they do.
