Woman officer was way too passive.. Did dispatch not tell the officers there was a gun???

[@richieryan2127]

Agree. After the heads-up, prepare to engage the guy.

[@C0mmanderX]

on the other officers body cam he is literally on the radio saying that the suspect had fired shots in his apartment the night before as he drives up to the gas station. they knew

[@Crismodin]

People say all kinds of things, but until you actually have visual on the threat you can't just pull your weapon and start pointing it at random people. She was just fine, I didn't see anything wrong here. This is coming from a guy who watches Real World Police, Police Activity, Donut Operator, OnSceneTV, and a few other of the nitty-gritty show the whole clip type channels.

[@36gustavo]

@@Crismodin the threat WAS the man... not the weapon. The weapon was already confirmed. No need to wonder again.

[@steve.o33]

@@Crismodin watching t.v shows, and having training, are 2 different things. She did alot wrong, she walked up to an armed suspects car, they knew he had a weapon.

Good!

[@dennisnaderhoff2008]

This is why we should never doubt the action of police when they get the first shot. Look at the person who did this.Just garbage. Only a depraved person shoots at police. The police are ordained as protectors of all the people. They are never to be shot at. The ones who would are cowards who violate the law but hate to pay for it. That's no excuse. It is frightening to think of this offender ever being on our streets again. If he would shoot at a police officer, what do you think he'd do to a private citizen because he doesn't like them.

[@richieryan2127]

That's why you prepare to render an attacker room-temp, and don't rely on LE to handle it.

[@mjohnston8313]

Not fair. Cops are probably much easier to shoot at if you are a criminal.

[@alanhelton]

I hope that female officer has a speedy recovery

[@viking956]

Oh good grief. Stop with the drama. This was NOT an ambush. This was a mental case with a gun showing up on scene where his girlfriend or wifey was providing a statement to police. Ambush? Grow up. Fake headline to clickbait views.

[@PotentialThall]

Dawg he literally did a drive by on cops, it's text book ambush shit. Cops were dumb as hell here obviously. But it definitely was an ambush. He wasn't mental, ,clearly he was one of these "if you leave me your dead" guys. although if he's a white dude he might get to play that crazy card

[@Vick--1052]

So if it’s gonna be bad if cops show up, why call the police? If he’s gonna commit suicide, let him be.

[@ceetruth7419]

Get out the car!!! 😂😂😂

[@dennisnaderhoff2008]

And for this coward to do this to a police officer in Arizona, where we have nice police, who are by no means rogues, who always try to give breaks to us, makes this act especially depraved. We have the very finest in the U.S.A. for police, of men and wemon who man our force here. And Chiefs and Sheriff's who produce them in their capacity. His look and demeanor remind me of Charles Manson. Thank God our Police always wind up catching them. We have a high percentage of residents who would gladly aid police to that end if possible.

that's bullshit , most police i see in person always harassing or trying to get over on someone.

Where are you sleepy 😴 joe?

[@happydappyman]

Lots of criticism of the female officer which I do not understand. There was no indication that the dude was going to suddenly open fire. On the other hand, her partner shot back but that's where my criticism would go if anywhere. His partner is down and in mortal danger and he spends half the time falling over and can't seem to take a single good shot. Hey I get it though, it's scary getting shot at, that's forsure. Just don't understand the criticism of the female officer.

[@PotentialThall]

He couldn't just run up and help her, bro he would have gotten turned into spongebob. He kept dropping to the floor to avoid gun fire, it did look stupid honestly, I don't think I've ever seen that as a legitimate method in a damn gun fight. who knows

[@happydappyman]

@@PotentialThall well jeez I know he couldn't run out. Looked like a crazy situation.

[@joquitasullivan6353]

Not referencing this story. After the way I have seen some of these officers treat people, I can understand a bit more about the violence toward cops. I’m not saying I condone it, far from it, but you can only push people so far before they revolt. For the good ones that suffer this , because of the bad behavior of some cops, Hold them accountable. They are making it hard on everyone . These bad cops behavior is either piss poor training or bad leadership. Something needs to change.

[@smythe7480]

We need to deal with the underlining issues....

[@stevensmith856]

Exactly

[@LiveTUNA]

Then why bring it up while relating to this story? Out of the hundreds of thousands of officers who serve and protect literally millions of Americans, statistically an extremely small percentage is purposely thrust under the msm microscope, for the sole purpose to get someone like you to proudly say "after the way I have seen some of these officers treat people". The "some" that you are referring to, that you give credence to your understand as to why people are violent towards cops, is statistically so small that the percentage is not even negligible. Out of every 45-60 million police encounters made every single year, less than a handful end up being put under a microscope for the world to look at every week. Cop watch and audits are certainly needed and I'm very vet much affiliated with several police audit organizations around the US. No matter how upsetting the videos get or are, never ever do we side anyone shootingat an officer. Your comment lacks tactic and validation based on the videos content.

[@hectorcoolman]

Lol this comment section needs to take their meds. police are here to serve and protect, if you have nothing to hide from police you have no reason to fear them, just follow their orders and the whole thing will be over in 10 minutes.
