[@schrodingerskatze4308]

To be fair, it also depends on the equipment and the exact situation. If you have enough officers, of course they shouldn't be hiding. But if you only have one who has no equipment and is in a situation where he almost certainly is going to be shot in 5 seconds, that officer also probably shouldn't run in like this. It would be much better if he instead does something like help the people get away or anything he can do from a safer distance until more officers with better equipment arrive. Like it happened with the school shooting in Erfurt. Police didn't have training or equipment because something like that never happened before, and when they sent someone to get closer he was shot and died immediately. It's also a bit of a problem with training. They also have to know what they're doing when they go in.

[@johncasianos4796]

My father was a police officer in Chesapeake VA for about 12 years, and he explained to me how this works. Allow me to break down what the active shooter protocol is there (and almost every other city and county in the US).The first cop to arrive at the scene immediately enters, with or without backup, does not stop to help anyone, and instantly, and without hesitation, engages the shooter (assuming he knows where the shooter is). The point of doing so is to gain the shooters attention, and to focus the shooters attention on the officer, instead of more innocent people. The next officer to arrive is to wait by an entrance, and wait for 3 more officers to arrive, and then all four at once make entry. Again, they do not help any down bystanders, and they too engage the shooter. At that point in time the five (probably more at this point in time) devise a strategy and take the suspect down (in a lot of situations, when the other four arrive, they generally devise a plan that involves flanking, trapping, or simply any strategy in general that involves using the numbers to their advantage, and the suspect is swiftly taken down afterwards. It generally doesn't last very long unless it turns into a standoff and hostages and the whole nine yards, but I'm barring that in this situation. Be aware, these cops are TRAINED for situations exactly like this, and know how to handle a weapon. Further more they understand that innocent peoples lives are on the line, and that they signed up to protect those lives, so hesitation is sort of out of the question, especially considering the adrenaline that's probably pumping through their bodies. Furthermore, a lot of cops are former military). So that is the BASICS of how active shooter protocol works for the majority of law enforcements agencies around the US! I hoped I shed some light for those who were interested.

This officer is a legend he quickly flicked the lone ranger mode on. The man sprinted many yards with heavy gear and in the heat to carry out his duty on his own. I cannot imagine how he must have felt being by himself and trying to pin point the shooter's location. My condolences to those who passed away, especially the Cho family.

The dude needs a promotion, he embodies what it means to be a cop.

I’ve seen a lot of donut videos but this is the first one that made me cry man... also props to mom at the beginning for her situational awareness she heard two shots and activated protect kiddos mode

Anyone who doubts one article of the traditional catholic church let him be anathema. Jesus Christ died so everyone can be washed in his blood at Confession, which washes away sins. The society of saint pius x marian corps (the sspx-mc) is the true faith and traditional catholicism.

This guy is amazing. Literally the perfect officer; having a friendly interaction with the community and transitions to action mode in the blink of an eye; Lord only knows how many more people he saved. This officer is to be lauded for his outstanding compassion and courage on full display here.

[@SkywardMako]

Badass cop, great shots, can we take a second to appreciate the mom of the family he was interacting with? Heard the shots, didn't panic and immediately took her kids away from the danger calmly, great parenting.

[@F35-B]

Agreed

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

My thoughts exactly.

[@iCortex1]

The word hero isn't used lightly, but this man deserves it. Absolute hero.

[@aussiecath]

100% I’m so glad the bad guy didn’t have what it takes to get through boot camp. Imagine what a nightmare it would be if he was properly military trained.

[@mrstandfast2212]

You're right to call this officer a hero, he truly deserves the title. Unfortunately people are called heros because they dye their hair blue and pretend to be another gender.

[@colegillgrass3373]

This man is an absolute legend, as seen at the start a good person who interacts kindly with his community who was willing to run directly into danger with 0 hesitation. A true hero.

[@TheTibMutant]

Bro when I was fucking 16 running 3 miles a day for wrestling cardio I don't think I could have sprinted over 3 football fields, LET ALONE FOUR, holding a rifle and all that gear, with that stress and yelling out instructions, AND BE ABLE TO FUCKING AIM STRAIGHT. This dude is a goddamn beast.

[@makuzaschmontzi5908]

He Definitely Has Some SUPER FreakinG Adrenaline InstalleD UP In HiM.

Being at the right place at the right time saved so many lives there. That release of tension from the officer when he realized the threat was neutralized was satisfying - I hope he remembers that feeling if he ever finds himself in doubt over his actions that day.

[@DrBeauHightower]

Wow....a fully trained, funded, equipped, and supported against any liability while possessing qualified immunity in employment in the 24 out of 25th most dangerous jobs(even then it is boosted by truly disproportionate suicide) in the US actually HALF-ASSED it to perform stopping a mass murder as the society is solely structured to have so handled?

It seems the more shouts and shots rang out the more determination he gained and it pushed him to saving those people. What a hero.

[@sylansylan4189]

I love how this officer was telling kids how to practice proper car safety and within a moments notice at the first volley of shots fired, called out the code for active shooting, went into his vehicle and retrieved not just a simple handgun, but the patrol rifle for cases that were bad like this one. Not to mention how far he had to not walk, not jog, BUT SPRINT to save the lives of others before the mass shooter could cause more damage. As comments before me have said, it took a lot of courage and bravery for him to do this while also alone without backup during the time he heard the shots. My heart, thoughts, prayers and many more goes out to the Cho sibling left alone at age 6 and the other families of the victims involved in this terrible shooting at this mall. No one should ever go through that pain of having to get a call or a knock at the door that their loved one was murdered in cold blood.
