I just don't get why this obsession with the radio isn't trained out of our police. I'm a pilot and it's pounded in our head that the radio is last when it comes to an emergency, with cops it seems the radio is first. Once the first shots fired goes out, throw away the radio in a gun fight.

[@ms.newyawkeri7559]

The suspect was against the buildings. You can not shoot and miss and have bullets go through the walls into an apartment with innocent people inside. Someone inside could get killed. I had the same thought as you, why didn't he shoot? Then realized they can't take a chance of shooting someone in the apartment. Edit: These officers didn't seem well trained. All those patrol cars and officers and no one could stop him. All their ammo probably would have went through the walls and not the suspect.

That heavy cop was very calm for the situation. He was calm the whole time, laughed and was super ecstatic when he was only grazed. Glad all officers walked away in harmed.

[@mrbonjangle]

The second officer was too scared “where’d he go” guy. He was placed perfectly to take the suspect out. Edit: basically, he just saw where his partner was shooting at. He shouldn’t be asking that question. He should have his eyes on the suspects location. There’s only one exit for the suspect. Hiding behind the cruiser, imo, gives the suspect time to ambush the officers. Reminds me of the officers who got into that terrible fight with a suspect wielding some type of rifle. The suspect flanked the officers and if it wasn’t for a gun jam, they would have died.

[@sensisensei5201]

na he moved to cover his asp. he didnt know what was going on. he wasnt going to rush in when his comrade was just shot at. he shouldve stayed off the mic though and focused more

He asks where the suspect is, gets a response, but doesn’t get in the fight. Why even ask at that point?

[@gomcse]

I completely agree. Second cop was useless. Why is he reporting every time his partner gets shot at? He needed to end this scenario, not prove he can count gun shots while hiding behind a car with his eyes closed. Pathetic. They need more training. Or get a job at Wal-Mart....as an unarmed greeter.

[@gomcse]

@@manbabymonke he was busy telling dispatch that shots were fired. Again. And again. And again. With his eyes closed and his back turned apparently, since the perp ran right in front of him. "Where is he?" "He's literally standing in front of you firing shots at me!"

That's the town I grew up in. Lots of trouble with this last name. Ended up learning to fight more than one person at a time.

You know you're not gonna even come close to winning. There's just to many of them and only one of you. Common sense has gone out the window for the average criminal. And we already know how that usually ends. The perp almost always takes the trip off the edge of his life.Thank for the show and the lessons he could have used to be be a better officer in situations like this one.

[@davidsilva1912]

I think officers would bennefit a lot from an aviation concept.

Based on the video I would say I am a very similar height/weight to the first officer in this video. The biggest difference between us is I am not putting on a badge and a gun every morning and going out to fulfill an oath I took to protect and serve my community. While I do agree with John that this officers weight didn't really effect the final outcome of this one situation, I think it is absolutely preposterous that his department would allow him to be in the field in that kind of physical condition. Some jobs can be done effectively while fat (I work on computers all day), being a LEO is not one of those jobs.

[@davidharrison7014]

Many LEO's like donuts a lot.

[@OmeletUSAF]

Disclaimer: I am not an LEO. If you're responding to a suspect waiving a firearm around, why not have a long gun or shotgun? Especially the backup that showed up after the call of "shots fired" were put out over the radio. They provide a significant advantage over a handgun in 99% of situations.

I agree with your comment, except I would bump that number up from 99% to 100%.

[@jaredwright1655]

Sadly departments arn't funded and not every cop makes enough money to buy their own rifles, and ammo. Its sad that people think the solution of bad policing is to take away funding. We need to give these officers more mandated training.

[@OmeletUSAF]

@@MiamiVice. you can't go with 100% because there will be times where there isn't enough space to navigate with a shotgun or long gun. It's not very often, but it does happen and you can't say 100% if it's not every single instance.

[@Ken1698]

@@OmeletUSAF I used to think the same, but this enlightened me a bit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXKzn5ulfr6YepI I can imagine a pistol could still be advantageous in VERY tight spaces, like say in the very narrow corridors of a ship, but even indoors a rifle can be manipulated well, especially with all the short barreled variants available.

[@clshep]

It's Sacramento, also known as NorCal and I'm sure there's some union rule protecting this cop from getting into shape. Honestly he's a liability. Imagine if he had been shot and gone down, instead of one of his fellow cops pulling him to safety he'd need two maybe three cops going into harms away to help him and becoming slow targets as they try to drag him out of danger. If he doesn't do it for himself or his family, he should do it for his brothers and sisters that wear the badge.

Then…I see him he’s reloading, then I can’t see him anymore, and finally the best of all…let’s back out of here! He should have posted up off of his rear quarter panel and engaged the suspect as soon as he rounded the corner at the bottom of the stairs. If he missed then he could have backed around to the other side of his vehicle. But he didn’t so he definitely should have engaged him when he was reloading. And if he’s fellow officer said he was OK he should have gave chase. I hope this officer has found a new line of work. Gone are the days of I was a police officer for 30 years and never pulled my weapon out of its holster. We live in a time that you should expect to have to pull your weapon at some point in your career if not multiple times and know beforehand that you be able to take the shot.

He HAD something meaningful to say. I love your videos and I agree one should not be in the radio unnecessarily like the one Cop on 21:33, but NOT the first officer who was avoiding his partner to get killed…

[@gonzalotome7217]

They were 5 meters apart, in fact, later Cop #2 asked questions, so they could have communicated by yelling rather than radio. Dumb and Dumber here

[@sigsour2266]

[@JewiMacca]

Never been so Early. Upon watching it closer these cops seem sloppy. His partner was was too scared to do anything meaningful and the first officer couldn't move fast because he's terribly out of shape. Sorry, but you shouldn't be allowed to get that out of shape for a job that very much relies on being quick and sometimes chasing a suspect.

[@shansen008]

Even the cat had good enough sense to get TF outta there when the cops showed up.

[@flyingtentacle7631]

This was absolutely pathetic on the side of the officers. Unfit and untrained. At one point the cop shouts out that he has a visual on the suspect reloading and just sits there with a full mag waiting him to finish reloading. There are teenagers out there that have better tactics and heart than officer obese and officer shitmyselfandrunaway. Literally a waste of taxes.

When I shoot ( I know it's sadly not an option for a lot of people) but I go out to public lands and find a spot. I always practice standing, kneeled and laying on my back, I wish more ranges were open for this kind of thing and technical work not just "stand and shoot". But I feel like even just practicing at home with dry fire in various positions will help greatly.

These two live by the “better lucky than good” standard. Police in general need more mandatory live action training. I occasionally hit the range with one of my cop buddies and he insists on putting me through certain drills and exercises. He continually comments that the time he spends with me is 10 times more training than most all of the cops in his station.

I agree but I think this is the least of anyones problems here… maybe standing out in the middle of the open with an active shooter Or gently hobbling away when shot at

There's an argument to be made that racking the slide every time means you do the same thing whether the gun is empty or not. Essentially boils down to less OODA loop.
