A California police officer shot and killed a violent man last Sunday who accused him of a steel bar and called his band “pigs.”

Bodycam footage appears Adam Barkinas, 60, walks up to three officers at a 6 a.m. DUI stop in Oxnard, a city about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

“Oh, King of Pigs,” Barcenas could be heard shouting.

“I hate pigs. Come on. I hate pig. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.”

With a 5-foot steel bar lifted, Barcenas stormed the three cops while they were standing on the sidewalk with a driver who they suspected of being drink-driving.

The officers pushed the citizen out of the way and repeatedly ordered the belligerent to put on the crossbar.

“Barkinas ignored the officers’ orders and continued to advance towards them in an aggressive and threatening manner,” Oxnard Police said.

Two officers drew tasers, while another—who Barkinas was apparently aiming at—whipped his gun.

Officer Shane Schwartz is shown firing four fatal shots at the charging man, according to the video.

Barcenas had a history of violent crime, KVTA reported.

He attacked two elderly strangers on the street in two separate unprovoked attacks in 2019.

He rushed to a 71-year-old woman, punched her in the head, shoved her to the ground, and then kicked her several times. She died eight days later, but prosecutors have been unable definitively to link her death to the Parcenas attack.

The department said the three officers had been placed on administrative leave. None of them had been involved in a shooting incident before.

The agency revealed that Schwartz joined the Oxnard Police Department in April 2022. He had served as an officer with the Burbank Police Department from August 2018 until March 2022.

The city is investigating the shooting incident.
