LAPD Chilling Video, Life as a LAPD OFFICER

[@roycastro6386]

I respect law enforcement for doing a job that none of us can do on a good day. LAPD has it tough. They try and bring peace and safety to a city that is plagued with crime, greed, and hate.

[@markbeaudry2469]

Roy Castro yes, when their not planting evidence, committing perjury, or arresting the wrong person, they're protecting the community.

[@mariocampos3125]

If you don’t live in these areas you can’t talk because you don’t know what goes on over here.

[@crosby3108]

Im from LA and i got mad RESPECT for LAPD BEST OF LUCK AND PRAYERS TO THE LAPD

[@jcherrax]

I have so much respect for both U.S. Police Officers and the U.S. Military For Their brave efforts to deal with difficult things they witness and put their lives on the line.

[@zx7-rr486]

Dude, the US military commits atrocities in other countries at the behest of corrupt politicians. Do you know how much tax money is spent on the military industrial complex? More than the next 10 countries in the world COMBINED, that's how much! Don't glorify our military, because it is a tool frequently abused by immoral politicians. Politicians who should spend all that tax money on peaceful projects (like hospitals maybe) or just not spend it at all .... The soldiers are brave, true, but most of what they do is about 'offense', not 'defense'. Iraq, Afghanistan. Do you seriously think those wars are just, or making anything better? I hate Al Queda, but I hate how we respond to them almost as much. We are not the 'World's policeman', we are the 'World's bully'; and that's exactly how much of the world sees us. Ever thought why recruiters hang around schools in poor neighborhoods? To sign up young men with few other options in life with promises of a fulfilling life .. then they get sent to kill, or be killed or maimed, PTSD and otherwise be f**ked up for life. Plus all the many more innocents killed and maimed in these conflicts. It's not a healthy picture my friend ... read about it and think about it.

[@jcherrax]

I never thought about it that way. Good input Gavin Z

[@macyND]

Juan Herrada Not the soldiers fault for what the Government forces them to do.

[@jcherrax]

macyND that is true

[@chrismason8908]

I worked there at the time frame...It was absolutely crazy. I wish more people could see what we went through. I miss the fun and the co workers, but not the danger

[@jollyranchers9442]

You're right.....! I can't imagine how it must be to have been shot and still, your thoughts are putting out the description of the guy and THEN ask for help for yourself :( The world needs more LAPD

[@RipFlm]

I work part time for a dept and I see videos of the LAPD, NYPD, LVMPD and have nothing but respect for them

[@Albrtd3]

Looks like a 20 gauge shell as well, which probably takes a hell of alot of edge of it. I agree with the birdshot as well.

[@VinceLA91]

Real eye opener. I'm 20 and I'm planning on joining the LAPD force next year

[@frostedhead]

I remember that, L.A. headline read Sunday Bloody Sunday, it didn't bother me though, I was living in Sherman Oaks, that's my reward for working hard.

[@FordCopChrist1995]

Good Luck out there and Stay Safe! I salute you! Thank You for your Service!

[@hiperpaiz]

Respect..all I can say. Went in a ride along a couple of days ago with LAPD and they really put up with a lot. Give them respect.

[@rooferjess]

Everyday them police officers punch the time clock, knowing at any moment they can get hurt, makes them heros in my book. I always wanting to be a cop.

[@FordCopChrist1995]

It's amazing how much the world would benefit if they didn't exist

[@bprideroyals697]

Dats tha BIG BADASS HARBOR AREA aint no game!!!

[@rekaepa]

When the eyes of the ranger are upon you... anything you do he's gonna see... when youre in texas look behind you.. Cause thats where the ranger's gonna be. :3

[@miss.g-shun-w]

I love Peter Jennings. One of the greatest news journalists ever...period. For all their faults I think the LAPD is one of the best police forces in the country.

[@JAMamation]

Would like to be a police officer when i'm older. Being in the LAPD would be tough, not sure if i would be cut out for that.. :/ i'll have to wait and see till im older anyway.

[@josh000068684]

Yea bro, good luck. Im trying to get my degree.....LAPD really gets my attention

[@Albrtd3]

@ Yotehunter Go to any ammunition's website, or gun site. Go to any real gunstore, and you will find 20 GAUGE in more than just yellow. Off the top of my head, "Estate: Dove and Quail 20 Ga." comes in Orange and is mass produced and sold. Buying custom loaded shells gives you even more variety. And I've seen a pack of black 20 Ga shells.

[@falcondriver100]

Think how wonderful & peacefull life would be without........... you know who!

[@PareoNullus533]

That is the worst thing you could ever here over the radio. Your stomach just drops.

[@JohnTheYouTubeSuperfan]

This is America’s ABC News about LAPD from 2004!

[@djbookie909]

cnt wait till im in the L.A.P.D.

[@edwardreid]

This is why i don't live in LA...... most cops i meet are actually pretty good guys and Ladies. There are some exceptions. some of which I have seen on here. I praise those police who are doing more then their "job' Those officers are whom have great respect for. Of course I lambast those who are unfit to wear the badge and uniform. But this video does show just how hard being a cop can get! Hats off to those brave officers!!!

[@Roiitokoloshe]

Good luck, take care & stay safe.

[@TortillaGirl]

Mad respect for LAPD.....can't wait to join the academy soon...as a female hispanic....hopefully they'll recruit me! =)

[@jacobcubillos4135]

Did u get ever get recruited? Just wondering I’m trying to join as well..

[@TheCity78]

If I would live in the U.S., I would join the LAPD

[@falbarran33]

DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN FOR NOBODY, NOT EVEN FOR A LITTLE BABY!

[@achang34]

So, does anyone else think the beginning looks like the beginning of The Rock's entrance video as a heel?

[@202Aamir]

No wonder Rockstar games chose Los Angeles to be the next Grand Theft Auto 5 Setting

[@agent4051]

Good luck and stay safe.

[@Slumzer4]

@MrTRex777 wich one be specific the one Mexico,Canada,Or the Atalntic, Pacific?

[@Albrtd3]

@ Yotehunter That entirely depends on what brand your buying. I have 12 gauges in both red, black, and green colors.

[@Adam-lj7et]

Thank God for LAPD. There would be no order in South Bureau were it not for the efforts of Southwest, 77th, Harbor and Southeast Divisions. Let me quote from C. D. Webb, "There is no nice way to arrest a potentially dangerous, combative suspect. The police are our bodyguards, our hired fists, batons and guns. We pay them to do the dirty work of protecting us, the work we are afraid, too unskilled nor too civilized to do ourselves. We expect them to keep the bad guys out of our houses, our cars, businesses, out of our face. We want them to "take care of the problem", we just don't want to see how it is done. That is real police work.

[@seatownhoopers]

Stand tall brothers and sisters.. Lets keep fighting the good fight, and be on your guard.

[@latinababy11]

Crazy.... just crazy...

[@matth8278]

"People say Southeast is just a war zone, that is not true" "But there is a war here" ............. seems legit.

[@moonlitehowls4836]

Dedication!!! Even though this cop is shot, he manages to put out the call for those low life gangbangers. Amazing...

[@leishler]

search "south african special task force" pretty cool stuff too...

[@skrivbok]

Los Angeles has gotten at least a little bit better since the early 2000s, right? I suppose South Central's probably a high crime-zone... but overall, hasn't it improved?

[@Blackowl44]

not really

[@skrivbok]

trapboiiQue beats Sounds tragic, to say the least... LA is such a beautiful city with ENORMOUS potential to really be Heaven on Earth... Myself, I really love Los Angeles, and I have a close friend who grew up in the city during the 1990s. He told me what it was like back then, but he joined the USMC and moved to another state afterwards due to his job.

[@VinceLA91]

Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.

[@jamesking2429]

End of the watch

[@cbcrog]

@crisdaninho ive only visited LA, on a college tour but I liked it. To be honest its like any other city it has its good and bad parts u just have to know where to go. And i really didnt mean any disrespect if it seemed that way, i was just commenting. But wow Long Beach, i didnt get to go to the beach which upset me lol

[@mrcholo69913]

es CLANTON 14st gang

[@cbcrog]

@crisdaninho the difference is is that this is Los Anageles, a world city where people from all across the globe come. Not to mention if you count the murders that occur in the Los Angeles metro area, then its nearly tripple the number of people u say got killed in Juarez. Its not that theyre saying LA is worse or better because it gets attention, it just presents more of a problem on an economic scale than Juarez does. Both are still problems which need to be controlled sir.

[@Jazzman707]

More police officers = less crime. And whoever's "genius" idea it was to allow CCW permit in California is ridiculous. First of all, LA has much higher population than all the states you mentioned combined. A majority of the people live under or on the poverty line. State government needs to spend more time and money in the local school system, implementing more after school programs and create new jobs in the areas that need it the most. In these areas, jobs are scarce and crime is ramp

[@LAAM619]

@MrTRex777 and whats that gonna do to stop the gang violence in LA?

[@richardb2837]

People are unbelievable

[@RisePatriot]

Oh... me? I only come up with the ideas. I am an American Leader. I am practicing for President.

[@FordCopChrist1995]

Good Point.

[@markbeaudry2469]

I have conflicting feeling about the police not only from objective point of view but a personal one as well. As a Security Patrol Officer, I have witnessed an array of violations against people without the slightest justification, and I have been accused of and forced to pled guilty to crimes I didn't commit. The history of law enforcement is rife with both benevolence and malevolence. But it's the wrongful acts committed by the police that seems so striking and overshadowing in this age of alienation.

[@dzroc]

Alot if ignorant people judge the police but as soon as you need help you all run to your phone and dial 911.

[@kuethdengtut]

San diego police and LAPD looki so alike same cars and uniforms

[@choochoostites]

that guy was fed up!

[@LAAM619]

@halloweendude66 but you see with the exception of taking the drunk driver off the road in all the other situations they cant stop it, they can do hostage negotiations and hope they bad guy dont kill everybody as for your grandpa getting robbed, they would catch the robber after the fact not likely to be during (although that does happen) and what about firefighters?

[@VinceLA91]

thank you

[@megga0]

Where's the full video.

[@boostgst]

Sorry to hear that

[@caligotspeerbomb]

THEY MADE US LIKE THIS THEY DONT DO SHYT BUT SIT BACK AND LET IT HAPPEND AND YET THEY STILL COMPLAIN!!!!!

[@Thecharger17]

When you hear "officer down", it's about to be some shit.

[@TheMomothemomo]

But I thought that America was the shining example.

[@cbcrog]

@crisdaninho so i hear! and no sir, the great state of tennessee, so the south sir. I like it here, nice and cultured (despite the common jokes which I actually find HILARIOUS!!!). Where im at im within an hour of Nashville and Memphis so, yea its pretty nice.

[@rush76bx]

Well lets not forget where the American Gangster gets its origins..It is merely adapted from the real gangsters of the past . And if I'm correct it wasn't the african americans or hispanics who spawned this trend of "gangsterism". I don't agree that violence is the answer to battle violence. Once we realize that gangs and gang activity and violent tendencies is a mental condition we might be able to do something about it. Human beings are not violent by nature.

[@7777eddie7777]

does anyone know if you can apply for the LAPD if you attended a different police academy? or in order for a person to work in LAPD do you HAVE to attend the LA police academy?

[@thuggin4life470]

Dame that's crazy shit

[@terayon]

i wished chief bratton was still working for l.a! he was the best!!! this new guy..im not sure about

[@woodsoccer100]

@kbryant8124 hell yeah, thats always how it is man...i cant even tell you how many times i have encountered that when im on duty

[@LILADOWNS]

***** Los Angeles is currently at 519 homicides

[@FTroop37F]

Some a-hole(s) had this post 'marked as spam' by voting it down incessantly. I realize that this is anecdotal but If that number isn't on the mark, it's not far off and I believe it to be an accurate statement. I think that South Bureau should annex Van Nuys Have a beer for me the next time you're at Tun Tavern

[@kevinyuni]

@gaeta34 pretty much when it does someone will call them. the city is dangerous place ,somebody got to do the dirty job. there are good elements out there BUT also some crooked ones. but in all they do more good than bad.

[@pixelsoul]

It is bad there still but no where near as bad as it was in the 90's. The crime rate has plummeted in comparison to where it was.

[@counkev]

@Jazzman707 Dude everyone should have the right and option to carry a Concealed Weapon, I love what the police does for everyone. But they can't be everywhere at once and can't respond as quickly as we and they would like. So if their is a man with a gun at a Shopping Center and no police officers are around someone with a permit can protect the innocent people around them. To get a permit you have to pass a shooting test and regulations too.

[@22red23]

i cant wait to be a police officer!!

[@goodbyeseeyalater]

1:17 come to Chicago.

[@mrpapafunky7879]

yeah they switched that law fas when black people found out about it due 2 black panthers lawfully protecting themselves as people and americans

[@jrotccadet32]

@VinceLA91 Hope you made it brother! Stay safe :)

[@FrEAkKyWeiRDo]

@tankertuff2002 I'm sorry, but the police RESPOND to calls. They can't be everywhere all the time.

Does anyone know if they are hiring?

[@bagofstufff]

@StAraqiel Straight up.

[@RightCenterBack321]

@palilacrosse25 And they dare blame the police for all of society's problems? Its unbelievable.

[@LAAM619]

@halloweendude66 well see theres not much they can do if your child is home alone and some guy with a gun gets in, now he's a hostage and at the mercy of the intruder. same with grandpa, and If your famiy is cornered in a room with three armed men in the house, just what can the cops do? negotiate thats it, your still at the mercy of the intruders. People need to take up some responsibility in protecting themselves.

People are sick and tired of these thugs with badges and what comes around goes around.

[@Assault-Roomba]

Nice to see you condone death for those who risk their lives trying to keep you safe. If you think it's so easy, then do it yourself. Don't want to? Shut the fuck up and sit down then

Your generalization that all LAPD cops are what you consider a coward due to a video you saw a month ago makes no sense.
