  1. I'm NEVER quick to criticize the badge, but that was a LOT of stray bullets that didn't hit their mark at a very close range.
    1800
  2. Man. I can watch criminals take freedom pills all day long, but when it's someone genuinely experiencing mental issues that cause them to do this, it's tough. Cops gotta do what they gotta do, and I support that. You just hate to see it happen.

  3. This officer is a BEAST! From accuracy with the shot while running, keeping an eye on innocent bystanders and backdrops at the same time after the shot was made, and the concrete communication skills. Prime example of a well trained officer!
    428
  4. Beautiful example of defensive gun use. I shed a tear of happiness watching it. Well done sir.
    374
  5. People protesting police: "Call the police!!"
    321
  6. This guy simply wasn't coming out of this alive. By his own intentions.
    296
  7. God bless this kid, I pray he gets the help he needs to work through this. He had to do it, and I commend him for it...but dang. No kid should have to make this choice.
    154
  8. Dang. This guy is on top of his ISH! Operating like a fine tuned machine even within such a stressful situation. Thinking about so many different facets of the situation at once. That's either VERY purposeful police training, or he's military background. Sounds like he's running an entire unit by himself here.
    153
  9. I feel like this is the best possible example of how to handle this kind of situation. All around. Perfectly executed.
    104
  10. Our justice system is no longer about justice, but ensuring who you simply wish to be prosecuted being prosecuted and convicted.
    68
  11. 2:19 The sweet sound of regret.
    65
  12. 100...he'll 1000% justified. Brilliant of the guy to have his hand on his tool ahead of time just in case.
    61
  13. I've seen the mall fight where dude keeps approaching other dude who has knife in hand for a fight. Kept on and kept on...and dude swung. Clean through the carotid. He stood there in shock, blood sounded like an open faucet hitting the floor, took about 20 seconds for him to drop and be done. Stay the heck out of fights folks. Unless it's a fight you can win.
    35
  14. Admittedly, I have been one to criticize female cops for being too soft for the field at times...this one is makin me eat all those words. She's a dam good officer and a warrior at that.
    35
  15. ​ @phillyg3107 Its a DV situation, the lady came running out scared...you expect them to stop, call the courthouse to get a warrant served before entering? Get outta here man.
    33
  16. I mean, you always shoot with a purpose of course, but this officer was making damn sure he was having every one of her bullets pulled out during his autopsy.
    33
  17. You shoot...or you risk him jumpin in another vehicle, possibly shooting them (cause again you don't know if he still had his gun), and generally just hurting others as he already has. Plain and simple. He wasn't just resisting or being a general jerk about things. He was a BAD dude.
    30
  18. Given that he had a gun concealed, we can only surmise what horror would have befallen two real children. Aside from the obvious why he was there.
    30
  19. One or the other, and I have to heir on the side of not wanting prison time to appease the woke m(asses). Reality though, that dude should have been at gun point the moment he angled his pocket at the cop. Probably even before. And he should have eaten lead the second he tried pulling his hand out after that.
    27
  20. I'm in no position to criticize those in uniform myself, but I think going in to such a tight space like the back patio was probably not the best move. Seems they placed themselves in a real dangerous position by doing that. All that is said with not having been there or knowing exactly what they saw and thought. So I fully expect my thoughts to be taken with little seriousness.
    27
  21. That punk was gone before his carcass hit the pavement.
    26
  22. 100% if they have gun in hand, you assume it will be used and act accordingly period. The act of handling the gun in these situations IS interpreted as a criminal offense. You, at least in Florida, are NOT expected to die or get your family killed to avoid jail.
    25
  23. Yup. He knew what was gonna happen. Wanted no part of it.
    25
  24. Yup. Absolutely tell police you need a lawyer and keep your mouth closed till then, but never just up and leave without calling lol!
    24
  25. Don't let your ego take you from your family folks. By death or prison. Zero reason at all to shoot the guy here. If you can't control your ego and emotions...DON'T carry. For the sake of yourself, your family, and the rest of us.
    23
  26. Welp, alcohol makes you do dumb things! Unfortunately, it led to this kid growing up with out his father.
    22
  27. That guy knew he wasn't gonna turn back around alive. Deliberately chose death.
    20
  28.  @Mountainman524  This is in no way shape or form murder. Please do better.
    19
  29. That was 100% SBC. Also, why don't I slam the blue? This is why. Their every day life consists of this kind of random crap. Just processing a scene of some kind...and a random guy walks up and calmly begins shooting at them.
    18
  30. Jesus. I pray that kid gets all the help he is gonna need. Why that guy decided to get killed in front of his own kid...I just don't understand.
    15
  31. Saw this one when Donut Operator covered it! Still shocked this dude lived...
    15
  32. ​ @nothanks5520 😂😂 That had me choking on my spit hahahha! But still, the original point is spot on of course.
    14
  33. 100% Had no choice but to sweep and clear as they went for their own safety, but they didn't hesitate to get in and face the danger. Hats off to em. I'm only angered and saddened by the loss of innocent life and the media coming to the defense of the shooter...it's truly an evil thing to behold.
    14
  34. 100%. No blame on the victim here at all, but it will serve you well to keep your head on a swivel. I am CONSTANTLY looking around. Not in a maniacal way that would creep people out lol! But I keep checks on my surroundings and the people in those surroundings.
    14
  35. Kind of a micro example of why it's so hard to invade America. Just in that small area 3 willing soldiers popped in to existence out of nowhere to fight back hahah! Multiply that over the entire nation!
    14
  36. The alternative is they think they hear someone in pain upstairs, ignore it so they don't get in trouble with the public for entering "for no reason", and then they end up dealing with someone bleeding to death when they could have saved their lives. With all the details we know here, they had every reason to enter and see what was going on.
    14
  37. It's an absolute shame they don't let you arm. Carrying equipment like that. That stuff attracts a LOT of bad meaning eyes.
    13
  38. Better to have an upset customer than a dead one! Crazy stuff!
    11
  39. Just incredible. It's an unforgiving world, and ONE mistake like this can cost everything. I pray they took the time to update the policy around this and demand trainging.
    10
  40. I'm only sad he didn't walk away with one of her rounds newly implanted somewhere.
    10
  41. Adrenaline probably prevented any feeling of pain, at least for a little while after. But man...she did hit it like a bag of ice.
    9
  42.  @thecringeprince2040  You can, and should, always tell them you are gonna get a lawyer first. If they keep questioning you after that point, that can really only damage their own case.
    9
  43.  @christopherball7937  If that were the case, that in itself is a horrible mistake. Pretty much violates rules one through four of gun safety. If you shoot, you shoot to kill, not maim or scare.
    9
  44. Yuuup. Keep your mouth closed to everyone until you have an attorney. Give the necessary information to law enforcement when they arrive and nothing more. The camera here was the game changer. Nothing the neighbor could have said to change what the jury actually saw happen.
    9
  45. Spot on. Carrying or not, keep your freakin emotions in check. Leave a situation any chance you get, and avoid conflict until it is no longer possible. Your family doesn't deserve to lose you to a jail cell for the rest of their lives because you lost your temper.
    8
  46. There's a good life tip in that fact lol! If you are gonna drink, drink at home with your friends away from the public. If you are gonna do that, don't carry. Above all, it's always best to just not drink.
    7
  47. Yup. Man or woman, you should NOT have both headphones in at any time. Keep one ear open and stay aware of everything around you. My head is always swiveling around, taking notes of everything and everyone around me. Not blaming her in any way, cause it was HIS choice to be lower than scum here, but it IS a good lesson in being and STAYING aware at all times.
    7
  48. Appreciate your service out there! Excellent advice! Not that I'd ever be a threat, but if I get pulled over...every light in my car is on and I keep both my hands in full view 100% of the time. Whatever I can possibly do to remove tension from the situation, cause I know the officer doesn't know me from someone who WOULD be stupid.
    7
  49. Get's absolutely hammered in his cruiser and then shot at while still trying to re-orient himself after getting smashed...and still has the presence of mind to pardon his own language for those watching. God what a good dude lol!
    7
  50. Yup, Signed his own death warrant with her. She calmly and accurately sent him straight to hell.
    7
  51. Crazy how easy it is to watch bad guys get theirs...and how hard it is to watch an innocent person go through it. I guess not that crazy, your heart naturally pours out for the innocent. I hope this dude gets to ride the electric horsey for this.
    6
  52. This one is for those "Just shootem in the knee!" types...
    6
  53. ​ @Blitzzy Sounds like he was speaking in generals here. There was no path of escape and he was clearly in serious danger of great bodily harm anyway. I'd hope (unless it's Cali lol!) no judge or jury would hold the victim being punched accountable.
    6
  54. Had to have been either a heart or head shot! That dudes lights where turn straight off.
    6
  55. Learned the dangers of assumptions that day lol! Glad no one was hurt!
    6
  56. This is a tough one. I usually don't mind criminals getting their dues, but I hate seeing a former hero of our nation end up here. You can't force people to get help, but we have a LOT of work to do to ensure enough and GOOD help is available to those that want it. These guys are being used up and spit out by our government for no good reason. Sent over to kill and watch their brothers and sister be killed...just to come back home and get poor treatment options and live on the streets. Shameful. This one's got me crying hard.
    6
  57. I feel like that is a universal understanding. No matter what you speak, a gun in your face means the same thing in Spanish, French, Cantonese...
    6
  58. The kids are not innocent here by any stretch. Absolute assholes to keep engaging him. He was wrong for what he did, and is facing the consequences...but being an asshole just because is no better.
    5
  59.  @CarryOutMyBidding  Feel free to elaborate...I'm all ears lol!
    5
  60.  @morganfaye3479  " so yes, I do claim otherwise. Sorry that’s so unfathomable." It's really not though. Every marriage has it's own rules of course, but having that rule is a great way to eliminate any doubt. Purely out of respect for my wife, and she out of respect for me, we agreed from the start not to allow ourselves to be in a car/closed room/ alone with another woman/man. It's not a matter of either of us being untrustworthy, it's purely a matter of perception being reality. Don't even allow the perception, it's that much less likely to be a reality.
    5
  61. That sweet sound of the scum beggin for mercy. Nah fam. Goodnight.
    5
  62. Wifey for the win!!
    5
  63. I'm seeing this through the eyes of a civilian here, but I can't imagine seeing it through your eyes as a fellow veteran. Your service is deeply appreciated. Thankyou!
    4
  64. And this is why I simply don't criticize those in uniform so freely. I can disagree with certain actions, but I will never openly criticize these guys. They get in to situations no one should ever be in, they make choices no one should have to do (such as this one, having to neutralize a suspect..much less in front of a child). Forever grateful for those to willingly take these things on so we don't have to.
    4
  65.  @theofficialsikris  100% I've got zero experience in law enforcement, so I am first to say whatever critique I offer is from someone who has no idea what it's like at best. God knows what these folks in uniform go through on a day to day. No question about it.
    4
  66. Probably my lack of experience here, but I thought trying to relate to the guy in some way was good. I'm sure I'm missing something here, what is it? Edit: I will say perhaps it didn't sound very genuine. But again, that's me speaking from zero experience with this kind of situation.
    4
  67. Moral of these stories...don't let your ego steal you from your family...
    4
  68.  @mikehunt3250  I mean...he walked up, not saying a word, pulled out a gun, and shot...very slowly might I add. If he were being gangster...chances are he'd have been spraying it at as many cops as possible. The delay in shooting seems to indicate he simply wanted to be shot back at, and generally no one asks to be shot unless they want to die.
    4
  69. You can feel her "You messed with the last person you'll ever mess with" in her body language. That was a "Go ahead and send the coroner along with backup. This assholes gonna need a body bag." Response.
    3
  70. He managed to avoid jail time, but he has to live every day with the thought of a dead child at his hands.
    3
  71. I hear ya. I'd say if someone has a lengthy criminal record...kinda indicates they aren't great at blending in to begin with hahaha
    3
  72. Aside from all that, I'm just not in their situation when watching these videos. So, justified or not, I don't allow myself to openly criticize. I can't see exactly what the officer sees. I can't know exactly what the officer knows in that moment. There's always a luxury in watching the video after the fact. I'm not naeve enough to think I know better just because of that luxury.
    3
  73. Yeaaaaa. I'm only willing to criticize so much, having not been in the situation, but he certainly could have found a better chance/way to draw instead of trying to draw while they guy was legit staring at him. IF the perps gun was functional, he'd def would have gotten a forever box. But fortunately he didn't.
    3
  74. CCL holder was REAL smart to stand right in front of his camera the whole time!
    3
  75. Sure you've heard it a million times, but thank you for puttin it on the line for us! Assuming you served in Afghanistan/Iraq here, I'm sorry it went to hell the way it did last year too. No one deserved for it to end the way it did.
    3
  76.  @dirtyharold7164  He most definitely did not survive in that one. Within about 10 seconds there was about a gallon plus of blood on the ground.
    3
  77. Somethin special about bad guys getting the off button pressed on their legs...
    3
  78. I am sorry to say I was this kinda person at 18-19 years old. My cousin and I were tossing bottle rockets up and purposely trying to get them to launch over to the patio of a neighbor. Just being stupid, young, assholes. I cringe thinking about that to this day. Glad no one was hurt, and I grew the heck up!
    3
  79. If you are going to carry a gun, you MUST, in fact you owe it to yourself, your family, and EVERYONE AROUND YOU to be as wise as humanly possible with it. The ability to let your ego and emotions rule you must cease to exist when you carry a gun. If you can't put those to bed for good, you have no business carrying.
    3
  80.  @mattg7899  I can't imagine the PTSD he suffered through, but (as we all know here of course) nothing you can experience will ever justify doing this. I certainly can explain how you got to that point. But there will never be a point where it's like "Oh. Oh that's why you did it? Ok. We understand. No harm no foul."
    3
  81. Cold blooded murder 100%. The dude in red truck DEF could have carried on his way and that would have been it. But the decision to reverse and engage cost him his life. The shooter literally could have pulled in his driveway, notified the police to maybe place a speed monitor or something. ENTIRELY needless death and another family losing their loved one's to the prison system.
    3
  82. May he RIP.
    3
  83. From our perspective, that is an argument to be made. But all the facts matter. IF he genuinely didn't know what was happening, and merely saw his friend being shot and shot back...then yes. IF it turns out, like John said, he saw the beer bottle swing, then it's murder.
    3
  84. The extra point is good! May he have a lifetime of headaches and ringing ears after this.
    3
  85. LITERALLY can be anyone you know. Learned that recently unfortunately.
    3
  86. I'm honestly shocked! Based on what President Biden has said about these hand guns, I'm surprised there was anything left of this guys midsection after being shot the first time...
    2
  87. Yeah...if you don't want to die, NOT going for your gun is a good start to that.
    2
  88. Not caring to live is a good explanation lol
    2
  89. Brutal as this was, and it was brutal, 180 stitches from that many swings is a pretty good outcome for the victim here. It not happening at all would be better, but 180 stitches between 2 axes and a machete mercilessly coming down on you...thank God this man survived.
    2
  90. Never gets old! "SHOOT ME MO&^%F*!%#" 2 seconds later... "AHHHHHH!!!!!! OH MY GAD!!!!
    2
  91. It'd not hard. Don't associate with bad guys, don't behave like a bad guy, don't hang put in places bad guys hang out in...and you are 99% unlikely to ever experience any trouble.
    2
  92. It is very much human nature to be bothered by taking another life. Justified or not. You do what you have to do of course, but it's much easier to say "Don't be bothered by it." than it is to actually not be bothered by it. That being said, you have an obligation if carrying, to be prepared at any time for the mental consequences of that choice.
    2
  93. That, and when you decide to shoot, you shoot until the threat is fully incapacitated. She wasn't giving him any way out alive after that move.
    2
  94. God bless this kiddo! My guess is the sheer volume she generated made him take off. That is a scream every parent dreads hearing...but every parent immediately knows what it means. Any decent person knows what it means really. Well done kiddo.
    2
  95. Talk about no honor among thieves...dudes "friend" pulled a Houdini on em.
    2
  96. Word of advice: If it is AT ALL possible...get the hell out of these cities. Those in charge (typically Democrats) are actively ensuring your family is ALWAYS in imminent danger there.
    2
  97. Love the Bugs line at the beginning hahahah! But this is a HARD one. Alleged to have a knife, jacket flying in the wind often blocking his hands, suspect just not complying at all, very difficult.
    2
  98. Glad she wasn't charged with anything. She shouldn't have been anyway. She SHOULD have just put in in drive and left, but none the less.
    2
  99. Balls of steel to walk in to a scene like that knowing there's someone ready and willing to kill you SOMEWHERE in there, and not knowing where....and still marching right in to track them down. THIS is the kind of stuff I point to as an example of why I don't slam the Blue.
    2
  100. Yuuuuup. The perps having to give 2-4 more kicks before getting in can buy you a LOT more time.
    2
  101.  @dougperry6942  I can see legal issues for pursuing fire like that after the threat ended. No question there. But he could not reasonably be expected to get his ass beat unconscious with no defensive measures while doing nothing at all to instigate it.
    2
  102. Dang. Officer Giant Balls is damn right. Get this officer all the beers. God bless him for staying in the fight till the end. Textbook good officer here.
    2
  103. Something different about getting your guts rearranged right before dying. The second that jackass took a swing, it was time to go night night. Only sorry they had to mop his lunch off the wall..
    2
  104.  @VerticalMark  obviously there's professional tact involved in court. But the fact remains, the service pistol is considered deadly force for a reason. They don't use it to calm someone down or slow them down. They use it to end the situation period. They are trained to shoot center mass as it's the largest part of the body with organs you will not continue to walk with if shot in. The baton and tazer are designed to slow down and calm down a suspect. The gun is designed to eliminate a deadly threat that won't calm down and comply. Now, one can certainly choose to shoot anywhere, so long as shooting is justified, but deadly force is used to cause deadly damage when needed. You then render first aid if possible until EMS arrives as you still want to do all you can to save the life in front of you even after being forced to shoot.
    2
  105.  @Mike_Cosentino  Hey, I hear you. My step dad was tazed and choked in the middle of a diabetic emeregency because he was not in his right mind (of course) was a bit combative. Mind you this all took place as he was prone in a recliner at home. He ended up literally getting $15 for a settlement after lawyer fees. All that said to say I don't blindly support all law enforcement. I support good law enforcement.
    2
  106. 100% But you still wanna put the odds in your favor as much as possible. Not being a bad guy, hanging out where bad guys hang out, etc...is the number one way to tip those odds way in your favor. Now, living in places that are just riddled with poverty and thus crime is kinda beyond one's control a lot of times, but do all you can to live a good life and surround yourself with good people.
    2
  107. Good way for them to not find the gun...is to not carry the gun.
    2
  108. Man, 14 seconds in a situation like that is enough time for everyone to get shot dead.
    2
  109.  @AlkalineGamingHD  Can't really blame the cop on that one. Hold the perp at bay, when you see the lights...holster and get down. Also, describe yourself to dispatch so they can relay the info. But most of all, make sure you aren't holding the gun when they get out.
    2
  110. I can't see any threat of great bodily harm or death, perhaps UNTIL they fought over the gun. But the gun was not legally necessary at any time. I'd argue even after the fight, Chet was falling away and not pursuing the weapon any more prior to being shot. I don't think this guy has a leg to stand on.
    2
  111. On the flip side, Chet was unwise to try grabbling it. He should have backed away and let the police handle it. Both are in the wrong, and it resulted in a needless death.
    2
  112. My favorite term for em! lolol! If you ever watch them get released it's legit like a missile being launched at the perp hahah
    2
  113.  @StormyPeak  Bystander effect is real. Important to make sure you don't fall in to it.
    2
  114. Yuuuup. Shows extreme premeditation. Going the distance of getting up extra early and waiting at someones house. No explaining that away. Dude got a piece of lead and probably an attempted assault charge on top of it.
    2
  115. Especially today when physical violence is perfectly acceptable morally from one side. Both are absolute assholes here and I hope both learned a good lesson. Karen not to be a jerk, and the delivery person not to be a racist.
    2
  116. I'm no expert by any means, but I feel like trying to have the conversation with him would've been much better. "Why do you think you dad hates you? What can we do to help fix that situation? We can work toward that, but the knife has to be dropped first..." and so on...
    2
  117. Love watching bad guys take freedom pills! Talk about a HIGH pressure situation though! Innocents EVERYWHERE on foot, and possibly in cars...well done officers.
    2
  118. This reminds me of a time in my early 20's when my cousin and I purposely tossed bottle rockets in the air in an effort to get a few to shoot in to the carport of a neighbor my cousin didn't care for. It ended up getting moderately violent. I look back and wish I could go punch myself in the face for that cause it could have been a LOT worse than it was.
    2
  119. @ Oh not doubt. 100% I should have worded that differently. More in a CYA as in if you have no choice but to defend. But if you CAN walk way and keep your mouth closed...1000% of the time do it. Whole heartedly agree.
    2
  120. Oh mylanta I've been shot! 😂😂😂
    2
  121.  @crowe6961  I hear ya. Speaking strictly from a law standpoint. You also gotta take street justice in to account with your ego too. You might cross someone who doesn't give a crap about the law and does this.
    2
  122. She knew where it was at and likely why it was there. She went straight to it. Not an ideal defensive weapon, but it fortunately did the job here.
    2
  123. I think anyone but Jesus himself would be letting a colorful word or two go.
    2
  124. That is capital murder if there ever was one. Point blank calmly shot the dude in the side of the head, and then once more in the back of the head to finish him. Death penalty for this asshole.
    2
  125. If you aren't directly involved in a police interaction...don't insert yourself in to it like this bonehead woman. That just gets you in trouble or possibly shot on accident. Let them do their job and keep yourself safe.
    2
  126.  @AleySoundz  Eh...I've seen a LOT of female officers get absolutely destroyed by men. Unfortunately it's a common occurrence if they don't have a partner with them. This cop is an absolute badass and, as I said, fed those words back to me for once. I'd be honored to have her as a partner if I were a cop. Women are a HELL of a lot better than me at a LOT of things as a man. Giving birth, thinking through things before acting more often than not, having the God given intuition to tell us men when something is not a good idea when we are immediately ready to jump in. I'm a married man, so I have seen first hand just how fucking awesome women are. Don't bring the misogyny shit here. Women are better than men at a lot of things, men are better than women at a alot of things. Just so happens when it comes to going toe to toe with grown men trying to harm you...men tend to be better at it naturally. SOME women, like this officer, are the exception. And God bless em.
    2
  127. 100% This video can be a textbook example of well prepared, well executed, very practiced self defense.
    2
  128. Man thought he had a soft target. Nuh uh! GOD I love watching punks get put in their place
    2
  129. I'm not gonna say you shouldn't ever go out and have fun...but certain places attract certain types of people. For you and your family's sake, just avoid those places. Nothing good happens way late at night, and nothing good happens at bars. Be smart folks.
    2
  130. 150% You should NOT be carrying a gun if you can not keep your ego in check. For the safety of everyone around you.

  131. Firing is certainly last resort, but this dude already put a barrel in her face and (not that it matters after the barrel is pointed at ya) his finger is on the trigger. A well placed head shot or a few center mass would have been perfectly justified. She was plenty close enough for a nice head shot I'd think to fully end the threat. Either way, she's alive and unharmed...he's a scum bag who will hopefully end up in prison. It was a good enough ending.

  132.  @stevenhale2935  "If I didn't trust her that much she wouldn't be my wife in the first place." Speaking for my marriage here...It has never been a matter of trust. It's always been a matter of respect. I, personally, don't even want my wife to have to wonder what's happening. Being alone in a car with another woman naturally leads to that wonder. Whether you trust or not. I simply prefer her mind to confidently be at ease at all times. And she mine. Same reason I don't vent to women, text or inbox other women (without her CC'd), etc. And it's out of respect for that woman and her S.O as well. I don't even want to be part of what could even be perceived as infidelity in another relationship. Pure and simple.

  133. Don't fight at all ever unless it's in defense. Just stay in your car. If need be call to police as you drive to safety.

  134. Real hard one. 75 years old. A knife is just as sharp in the hands of a 75 year old as it is a 25 year old, but I think some additional measures could have been taken, and she certainly couldn't have moved as fast as a youngster...but she also never should have been waving knives around.
    2
  135. So perp has knife, perp refuses to drop knife, perp runs from cops with knife in hand, perp refuses to heed countless commands to drop knife and stop running, perp gets tased as cops cpukd have easily been stabbed in a hand to hand...and the cops are at fault?

  138. As we have figured out since, no guns in this scenario were legal to begin with...but this is a prime example of why you MUST remain of a sane SOBER moral mind if choosing to carry. Alcohol and guns don't mix well. You already make stupid choices when drunk, guns create permanent choices. Alcohol and guns create permanent stupid choices. Just don't do it.

  139. Your family does not deserve to live forever without you because you wanted to win a meaningless fight instead of be with them. Be a man and make sure your wife and children don't lose you forever over something so stupid.

  140. General lesson: If you find the need to film yourself holding your gun for online clout...you should not have a gun. If you ever at all think it's cool to point your gun in any general direction that your head is located in...get rid of your gun.
    1
  141. I'm fully aware if you find yourself trying to ram your truck through an impound fence...you aren't making good choices in life anways...but how the heck does one think they could possibly get away with it?

  142. "He don't have a gun!!" What, they were supposed to wait till the man was inside with hands around his daughters throat? The sheer and utterly ignorance man... I'd be planning to move away from this neighbor ASAP.

  143. I do also have to agree with the weed thing. No real reason the guy should have to be detained for weed flakes or weed in general. That's just nonsense.

  144. I'm no expert...but that was a cluster you know what if I ever saw one...I can't imagine why THAT may cops needed to be in such a small place, guns drawn no less. All it did was create more danger.
    1
  145. For sure. They had no choice given the details, but you always prefer to take em alive if you have a chance. But you are also gonna make sure you go home at night 100% of the time.

  152. I say you let the other guy go. God knows that was a hell of a shocking situation for them. No need to top it off with the ticket.
    1
  153. This is why the 20 foot rule exists. Go back and count how many seconds it took the perp to close that gap before first shot was fires. This is why it's utter foolishness to think someone with a knife is less deadly than someone with a gun.

  154. I'm still processing the fact that this dude dropped on his bike, and likely entered rigormortis in the shape of his bike...

  155. What we see: Suspect swinging a knife and getting shot in response. What apparently everyone else always see's in these instances: Nothing. Everyone just having a good time and then a cop shooting someone.

  156. A moment of lost temper cost countless thousands of dollars. Even worse, it could have cost an innocent bystander their life for no reason. Don't be stupid.

  157. Yup. You are not obligated, within your own home, to wait and see what happens once they are inside. You are to defend and that's it.
    1
  158.  @yank4334  Certainly welcome to your opinion. I'd say we have to look at the totality of the circumstances. Dad had no idea if he was armed or not, but the kid was breaking in to his home (which by default is to cause harm). Even when the kid was turned away and seemingly leaving, he just as well could have got behind the corner and tried returning fire had he been armed. The breaking and entering factor combined with the inability to know what actual harm could have been done, justifies a number of shots no matter which way he was facing. Now, had he been down the drive way running away...sure. But he was still in the doorway essentially.
    1
  159.  @penultimateh766  We both know what you are trying to say here. You have no duty to retreat from your own home though. At SOME fucking point the perp had no more rights...if your own goddamned home with your own goddamned family isn't that place...than I don't know what is. Please tell me you don't expect victims to abandon even their own homes so criminals don't get hurt?
    1
  160. 100% AM. The guy who threw the punch was already in the car and trying to leave. The decision to stand up and shoot once...and then lean in and shoot two more times when there's no further threat at all...AM thru and thru.

  167. I've said it a million times, I'll say it again. YOU are your own first responder. I'm guessing some or all these places didn't allow workers to be armed, but...ESPECIALLY the guy at the fast food place could have easily been eliminated with a quick shot to the head.

  169. Pop pop done. That was an INTENSE situation, but I'm real glad nobody but the scum bag got hurt. Excellent execution of procedure here from start to finish. I saw a finely tuned machine that moved through the house and efficiently ended a huge threat.
    1
  170. Yeaaa, the "I thought he was shooting at me" argument kinda falls flat when you have had the gun in hand for a full minute and a half prior to shooting. Lends evidence to the fact that you probably intended to shoot before hand.

  171. Your ego will get you in to far more trouble than you'd ever imagine if not controled. For the sake of your family, yourself, and the overall safety of those around you...control yourself.

  176. ....I am SLOW to criticize...but they let this man walk past FAR to many innocent bystanders. Should have been down before he got within 20 yards of the first one. I get it though, they also want to avoid being on CNN as racist cops at all costs...but still...

  177. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to the criminal here of actually thinking about anything logical here...but how the hell do you sit there and make the choice to place your life on the line with a toy gun?

  178. If ANY shot was questionable, the very last one was it. The gun was away from the perp. That last one COULD be the overkill shot that lands a charge. The overall shooting was fully justified. Just that last shot man...I don't know.

  193. With friends like this...as they say.
    1
  194. He started off doing the right thing, unloading and putting down the gun...and then he got stupid. That being said, there was no reason to punch. If he began resisting the cop trying to control his hands, perhaps...but to come in and drill the guy when he wasn't really posing a threat at that moment...not good.
    1
  195. Having SOMEONE ELSE call 911 in these situations is a GREAT idea. Because you are legally liable for what YOU say during the investigation from the initial call out until you ask for a lawyer or finish your statement. If you have someone else on the phone talking, you are getting enough details across without any possibility of incriminating yourself accidentally on the phone.

  197.  @shawnfoogle920  Fair point. Certainly not a situation where an attempt to award the forever box is necessary. At the end of the day, it is prison though. They aren't there for good choices haha! But I certainly see your point.

  198. Something to expect no matter what...you WILL be put in cuffs and detained until the details are cleared up. Prepare your family to see you taken off in cuffs. Kudos to the guy for keeping himself and everyone in there safe.

  200. This guy is 100% guilty of murder. No question about it. Wrong as wrong can be. THAT BEING SAID...it should also be a good lesson in not being an asshole to people for no reason. Stopping traffic for any kind of tantrum you want to throw, makes you a class A Asshole. I can't condone acting like this, but you WILL eventually piss off the wrong person and end up twisted to a bloody pulp in their axle or shot dead. I've said it a million times, being an a-hole will cause others to be an a-hole back. Some of those return a-holes will ensure you can never be one again. So, just don't be an a-hole.
    1
  201. So....quite scary to know that I legit thought this was America at first. The fact that I expected this to be America for that matter. Ladies and gentleman...your family is worth FAR more than a stupid political ideal. Don't let them lose you forever over something THIS stupid.

  202.  @CarryOutMyBidding  OH fuck you asshole. You are an actual piece of shit standing over the bodies of children calling it fake. Go tell that to the parent's who are planning a funeral for their 9 year old. Really, buy plane tickets, go to their child's funeral, walk up to that casket and tell the grieving family they must be hiding their alive child elsewhere. I'll pay your way. That being said, I'd argue YOU are making more victims by not allowing the fucking sun to rise in the morning without the Bilderburgs being to blame for it's projection on the horizon...
    1
  203.  @CarryOutMyBidding  You are telling me the teachers at the school are in on an evil plot, the children at the school are in on an evil plot, the police who arrived on scene are in on an evil plot, the shooter themselves are in on an evil plot, the media coordinated the whole thing for all those involved so it was covered... Listen, I know you types of people can't fathom the possibility of being wrong or admitting you don't understand something (cause I have types like you in my own family so I deal with this bullshit on a regular basis), but I'll take YOUR stupid ass being wrong before I take your word that EVERYONE ELSE INVOLVED is twisting the truth and YOU are right hahah! Go drop your insanity elsewhere cause it ain't landing here.

  204. I knife will cut the same in the hands of a 16 year old...as it will in the hands of a 40 year old. The only way to avoid a riot here was to just let someone die...but even that would have started a riot. So really, people who want to riot, are going to. They are just looking for a reason to...and any reason will do.

  205. Good lord man. There has GOT to be a minimum standard for fitness on the force, along with a minimum standard for competence. Had the victim here actually intended harm, she would 100% have immediately been killed. She freaking killed someone unlawfully here and now she's paying the price. Could have been avoided altogether.

  208.  @DatDawgDub  That is for sure. A world if difference from the range. But that's why you practice as often as possible. So often than you don't even think of your response when it comes down to it because it's as ingrained as your drive home. Ya know how you get there sometimes and have no clue how when you do get there hahah!
    1
  209.  @jjmcwill1881  That is plausible. The other reason I am always slow to criticize. Hindsight is always 2020, and I have NO idea what she may have been thinking in that moment. As a matter of it being a deadly weapon in a deadly situation, God bless her if that's what she was doing but that's how you get killed yourself.
    1
  210.  @VerticalMark  You are spot on. Every human is different, every bullet behaves different, and every shot is different. One shot, or even 2-3 not stopping someone immediately is typically why you see a mag dump. Really all that's guaranteed is that you are pulling the trigger and aiming in a general area most times. Enough hits will drop anyone so you shoot till the threat is eliminated. Either by surrender or by death. But you aren't the one to decide which outcome it is when you start shooting. Really no one is at that point.
    1
  211.  @PcGamerify  ESPECIALLY in DV situations. ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY if you are a female cop. Nothing personal, just that most female cops can't handle most male perps hand to hand (though many can), and no cop is gonna handle being outgunned or out muscled by an already pissed off, ready to kill, drunk asshole.
    1
  212.  @cosmic-creepers9207  In her defense, she was moving backward in a high stress situation. Practice is still needed, cause you MUST be able to put shots on target even in this situation. But it does make it harder. As I said before, this is coming from someone with zero experience in the field, and having never experienced violent situations like this. So, I fully recognize my blinders here.

  215.  @Killakutz69  That makes perfect sense! I always the "here's what I would have done" talk cause I wasn't there. I have no fair way to assess what I would have done (besides not even being in the line of work), but I think maybe trying to relate on terms they both COULD realistically relate to would have been better. Maybe if the negotiator also had kids for example. That being said, I fully recognize my inability to fairly critique this.
    1
  216. This why you HAVE to keep your own ego and attitude in check at all times. This dude lost control of that, took a swing, and (rightfully or not) lost his life for it. Last thing you ever want is for your family to live the rest of their lives without you because you lost your cool over something stupid.

  221. It's easy to be too nice sometimes. We live in a society that insists on trying to see the best in everyone the world. Problem is, the world is still an evil place. Not that you should see everyone around you as a deadly threat at all times, but you should be wise enough to know not EVERYONE is a good person. Be aware enough of your surroundings at all times. Easier said than done, but do all you can to do it anyway.
    1
  222. For the President Brandon "Shoot em in the leg!" types...just know this dude took probably 8-10 shots and was STILL alert enough to move for the gun...don't let your families lives be cheapened by stupid political ideas...

  226. Blows my mind that people think officers are just supposed to let themselves be pounded on.
    1
  227.  @Abrokensword  I wholeheartedly agree with that. I am very slow to criticize the uniform since I have never worn It, but I will say the two most irritating things to see are an officer that is WAY out of shape and an officer with no hands on skills. I'm sure you've seen the one here of the officer who was about 120lbs over weight, trying to reach across his belt for his taser (since he didnt have it on the side he was reaching from) and then ended up getting himself with it while falling down. That's a danger to everyone around you. I have to agree here, after watching it again and hearing the take from the fellas, shooting was certainly not the proper response here. Scrawny as the guy is, he should have been able to hip toss the guy in to outer space hahah!
    1
  228. He could have chosen not to do this at all, but he chose to do it. He could have chosen to tape them both up, grab the loot and run, he chose not to. He chose to take the time to drench these ladies in lighter fluid, and attempt to burn them alive for probably $100 in cash. I pray he gets some REAL stiff prison justice.
    1
  229. When a crazy person says "You don't need a gun, just call the police!", feel free to show them this video, took AGES for the police to arrive. Fortunately he was just an ignorant drunk, but if this WERE a deadly situation and the dude had a gun....calling the police does precisely ZERO to save lives. To no fault of the police of course. They can only move as fast as they can move to the scene.

    1
  235. Unless the judge is a leftist...the family has no chance. He held up what any sane person would assume is a real gun. Officers can not be expected to stop and assess a presented firearm in a deadly threat situation. I feel for the family, but if there's any sense left in the world, these cops are not guilty.

  240. It's been said here a million times already I'm sure. This is why you must ALWAYS keep your ego in check. Control your temper, control your body, control your emotions. This dude, legally or (definitely) not, died for no freakin reason.
    1
  241. I say definitely not, because of the extra shots taken after the threat was eliminated, and took off. That crossed from a self defense argument to murder. Everything prior to those later shots is nullified.
    1
  242.  @crowe6961  Yuuup. Especially if you are carrying. You have not only a legal obligation, but a moral and ethical obligation to NOT resort to it until absolutely necessary. Otherwise, one stupid move can land you in a WORLD of financial and legal trouble, and worst case with a murder charge you never wanted to have.

  244. After that second ride on the rail the guy said "I'm done."...

  245. That would be murder. If he shot during the tussle or while the attacker was in his vicinity still posing a threat...then he may have a case. But the guy retreated and was leaving when he got shot. Murder through and through.
    1
  246. Yup. Of course the dog was the least of their concerns in that situation, but you don't want to shoot the dog or deal with the dog reacting unpredictably if you don't have to. Their job was to save the woman. If the dog can be removed as a factor, all the better.
    1
  247. When an idiot criticizes cops for shooting people sometimes...show them this video. This situation went from (from LEO's view) odd but calm to shots fired within 1 second. A successful shot from the perp would have ended this cops life before she realized what was happening. Thankfully this bastard missed....and she'd proceeded to insert a full clip in to him.

  257. So at what point do the dam judges and DAs become liable? If they release a violent criminal who then turns around a commits more violent crimes...the judge NEEDS to be equally accountable legally. They are knowingly releasing deadly danger back in to society when they do this.

  258. Also an example of why anyone (Joy Behar) who whine about why cops don't just shoot the knee are absolute idiots.

  259. Those dudes literally could have just run away...being a criminal is typically for stupid people though...

  260. You can't ALWAYS avoid confrontation, but standing up and accepting the dudes challenge was the catalyst for all this. He didn't have to. That escalated it from there. Keep your cool. Don't let your ego get you killed.

  261. Imagine being dumb enough to rob a gunstore...and then find yourself laying there watching the results of your stupid choice in your last 10 seconds of life.

  262.  @CosmicNexus-10  Very fair assessment!
    1
  263. There literally was no reason to start a fight here. Ego got this guy hurt bad. He simply could have let it slide. I assume there wasn't any real vulgarities or insults hurled as his lady. Don't let your ego get you in to a situation you can't get out of.

  264. This scum bag was begging to get shot. He asked for it 4-5 times before he finally got it.

  265. @Richie Rich cool

  266. For the safety of himself and his community, this officer should not be on duty any longer...this level of lack of training can and WILL eventually get an innocent person or himself killed.
    1
  267. This one reminds me of the other video of hotel lobby where the perp accidently pops himself in the head with an accidental trigger squeeze turned double tap as he lost control of the gun.
    1
  268. Justified or not, let this be a lesson in not being a deliberate pain in the ass to people. Be a good, sane, sober, moral person. Don't be this guy.

  269. When President Biden wonders why cops don't just shoot em in the leg and cuff em every time....

  270. Not many people know, a K-9 IS an officer. You hurt the K-9, it is the same as assaulting an officer. Same charge. Or in this case, you get the forever box award.

  271. 100% The best fight possible is the one avoided. Worst thing you can do is make your wife and children spend the rest of their lives without you because of one moment of ego or emotion.

  272.  @apapz3245  That "reaction" can be you getting stabbed. The 20 foot rule applies for a reason. It's called lethal force for a reason. You shoot until the threat is stopped. You don't shoot once, check to see if it's stopped, shoot again, check again...that's how YOU get killed. You shoot until they are down and not getting back up, and then you keep them at gun point until either back up arrives...or you can slowly and cautiously approach and disarm them if they have not yet let go of the weapon. Just cause someone appears to not be a threat, doesn't mean they aren't.

  273. Hey, for the second one, Brandon highly recommended it. If the president is telling people to commit felonies...
    1
  274. Not wholly legal, depending on where it happened I suppose, for the repeated blows long after...but I have no problems with watching this creep get baptized with fists and feet.
    1
  275. This is the guy that needs to teach how to shoot. One tap drop. Hate to see it, but love to see it.
    1
  276. Was never expecting anything special from this guy, but he ran straight in to the cross hairs of the officers by the garage. Got himself killed immediately. I pray for the mans wife and family. Such a horrifying thing to experience.
    1
  277. 9:45 is ALSO why you don't listen to US presidents telling you to fire a shotgun shell in the air as a warning shot. He is directly telling you to catch a felony charge, and he know nothing about what he speaking of.
    1
  278. I'm glad the homeowners and baby were not harmed, and I'm also glad (for her sake) dad wasn't home. I hope she continues getting help. I'm usually all for knowing criminals getting their dues...but for someone in this instance, I would hate for someone to die over a genuine mental episode. If would have been justified if it would have escalated, but you don't want to see it.
    1
  279. They technically could have opened fire the second they saw him over her with a knife. He got WAY too much time, but they did all they could to give him a chance.
    1
  280. I hate to judge from the arm chair...but I don't know how I'd feel about knowing I'm with an officer that will peace out on me if I'm in need... Anyway, glad the scum bag died a scum bag death.
    1
  281. I see nothing wrong here. Equal level of force was used to stop the threat. The guy woke up virtually unharmed aside from a lil nap. Hopefully learned his lesson.
    1
  282. Going left was perfect! Dude had no real chance of taking aim at that point.
    1
  283. Always amazes me when people, who would immediately result to swinging if called a fraction of these names, criticize the cops for any actions at all. Cops deal with this crap on the daily. Guarantee, if you are a minority and a cop, you get called every possible racial slur in the book in an attempt to trigger a reaction from you. And you KNOW one wrong reaction, and you are plastered as a monster on CNN in seconds. THAT is what these scumbags want. It takes a LOT more self control to be an officer than most people realize.
    1
  284. If he were positioned differently on the front of the car, he'd have been killed instantly on impact. I hate insurance being used as an excuse to commit crime...but it IS a valid excuse not to pursue bad guys for your property. No sense in dying for a car that insurance can cover for.
    1
  285. When someone tells you all men are toxic...remember this video. The SECOND he laid hands on the woman here...20-30 men were dogpiling him and beating the ish out of him.
    1
  286. Your ego is never worth your life. Imagine the pain of losing not one but BOTH parents because they couldn't just walk away calmly. They didn't deserve this by any means, but you can't control other peoples actions, so always best to keep your mouth closed, let the law prevail and live to see your family.
    1
  287. At first I was like "Oh good, extra hands to cont...nope. Comedy show it is."
    1
  288. I wonder if there were some bystanders in the backdrop for the other officer. Certainly would explain why he didn't open up.
    1
  289. Jeeeeez. That very easily could have been a femoral artery being severed. We scream about the gun safety rules, but it's important to understand it CAN happen to you if you choose to get relaxed about it.

  290. Not all heroes! God bless this guy. Glad to hear he survived. Glad to see he permanently removed a thug from the street.
    1
  291. Ego. Never worth dying for. These two would most likely be alive and well today if they simply kept their attitudes and emotions in check.

  292. Me clickin on video: Shocked this didn't happen in Brazil...

  293. We found the one guy in Brazil who isn't an off duty cop!

  294. Good lord. That guy on the right had a REAL bad day. Well done good guy. Well done.
    1
  295. May he receive all the prison justice they can muster...scum bag. Good on her for kicking his ass though! Self defense is important!
    1
  296. Rule of thumb, every plain clothes citizen in Brazil is an off duty officer....or a criminal.
    1
  297. Justified far as I can see, but he could have attempted to leave the situation before hand. Saving grace, as unfortunate as it is, is that she struck first with deadly force.
    1
  298. Had no choice but to put the kitty to sleep. The only reason that guy lived was the cage. The officer would have walked up on a tiger lickin his lips.

  299. Real glad Officer and Fur Missile are both safe and alive!

  300. Autopsy clerk was pullin bullets outta this guy for days.

  302. Sure a man can take most any woman on in a fight, but a gun balances that put every time.

  303. I'm no LEO, and I fully accept armchair quarterback status here, but the simultaneous commands of "DON'T MOVE!" and "GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE!" can really serve to gum a situation up.
    1
  304.  @brianwright9514  That's for damn sure. Dude on passenger side was even quick to recognize cross fire and corrected for it. All around they made as great of a pie out of the lump of crap they were given as possible!
    1
  305. The draw was certainly justified...but EVERYTHING leading up to it was absolutely stupid and unnecessary. Justified, but at least 100 other opportunities arose to avoid it altogether. Guy did an injustice to lawful carry bigtime.

  306. Jackass chose to die over a few bucks in groceries. Great job scumbag. Saves us all future problems from them.

  307. 1000% If you can not effectively process things through the countless other logical steps before reaching for your gun...you don't need to have one.

  308. That freezeframe at the tackle is great though! hahaha! The exact moment they guy knew he messed up.
    1
  309. She did good being aware of her surroundings, but I cant understand why she didn't reposition her self at the counter with her rear AWAY from the guy. She already ID'd the guy as sketchy, but man...Ah well. Can't know what she was thinking in the moment. Just glad she wasn't killed with her own weapon, and that would have been VERY easy here.
    1
  310. Jackass died over $100 in cash and $5.10 in loose change.
    1
  311. That....was not smart. Good intentions, bad way to help.
    1
  312. When a gun is involved, history and other ways of handling things are out the window. The officers are not obligated to stare down the barrel of a gun to spare the life of the one pointing it at them. You WILL be shot 100% of the time if you do this.
    1
  313. Nighty night Comrad hahahahqah!

  314. Justified shot. He jumped at his seat. Normal people do not jump at their car seat for a wallet and phone against police orders. Stupid move that resulted in a stupid award.

  315. 100% You are a literal sitting duck in that city and ones like it. Waiting to be victimized. Not a matter of if but when.

  316. Fully justified.

  317. Couldn't happen to better people.
    1
  318.  @HERXMES  Um...are you under the impression that a solid beer bottle can not cause great bodily harm when broken over ones head and face? Or are you under the impression that great bodily harm does not justify deadly force in return? I'm really interested in you perception here.

  319. I usually don't mind watching these...but the dog getting shot is tough. Heckin heck man.

  320. Funny how we can watch perps get the forever box all day long...but when a dog gets shot, whoo boy. I hate it, but I love it.

  321. Yuuuuup. No one is slamming the brakes in front of a cop like that to say hi.

  322. WHOOOOOOO boy. Hit 15 times. That's 30 extra holes than she came to the store with. You are not surviving that.
