Episode Details

In a high-stakes confrontation in Colorado Springs, officers faced a dangerous standoff with Benjamin Greenfield, a repeat offender with a history of evading police. After spotting what they believed was a drug deal, officers blocked Greenfield’s truck using a reinforced vehicle. When he reversed into them and continued to accelerate despite commands to stop, things escalated. Greenfield allegedly fired one shot from inside his truck, striking the blocking vehicle’s windshield. In response, three officers returned fire — totaling 39 rounds — claiming they feared for their lives and those around them. The District Attorney’s office ultimately ruled the use of force justified, citing immediate threat and the unsuitability of less-lethal options under the circumstances.
