Retired cop here, 20 yrs. In a lot of these incidents there doesn't seem to be anybody taking the lead. Everybody is giving commands to suspects and each other. Excitement and adrenaline take over. Cut budgets result in cut training budgets. We all need more training, more training, more training...to save lives.

[@soonerfrac4611]

Training is always the first thing cut.

[@GamingwithGamerGirls]

It's not a lack of training. It's incorrect training, and incompetent people being hired by even more incompetent people. There needs to be an IQ test administered for a job where people carry lethal weapons and drive vehicles at a high rate of speed.

Just a little background for y’all… they were not SWAT but they were gang unit, which is why they decided to even enter in the first place. I think had it not been the gang unit they would have called SWAT. To their credit, for guys that aren’t SWAT or specially trained in CQB, they did a god job clearing until that last room. You can tell they’ve worked together in an operational environment like this before. If I remember correctly, the officer and the perp both survived. However, the officer’s femoral artery was severed and his leg had to be amputated.

Great breakdowns! When you spoke about announcing your plans at the threshold, it reminded me of the old airsoft days where you'd hear a group countdown that they were about to rush an area. You'd have 2 guys kill 16 people in about 5 seconds.

[@aidancharels7721]

[@devilange444]

​@S.L. ... well yeah. When you hit someone with a bb In airsoft it's referred to as a kill. That's the jargon that is used. obviously a bunch of 14 year Olds aren't killing people. The point still stands that you shouldn't announce your plans at the threshold

[@ndeshmo]

I'm in Kenya, and our SWAT teams always have shields. No matter the threat level...1 shield front, middle man with ar..third man shield...4th ar...Single file...works everytime

[@mauriceorayii2964]

The first part is absolutely right. Even criminals have spouses and children. They're moving forward like there's no one else there.

[@kensei1972]

This is something that US police have been doing since the SWAT frenzy of the 80s. They get military gear, military arms and get a few days military training and then try to run Delta stuff. CQB is perishable for people that get adequate and continuous training in it. It's beyond almost all civilian cops. It only comes out as well as it does as often as it does because they are going against the literally incompetent and untrained.

[@kensei1972]

Hard to watch an officer get shot when they probably could have pulled back.

[@reaccionapuertorico]

Mike, the arguments that have been made by some PDs is that the shield is not to be used as an offensive weapon only for officer down situations.

[@lancemcdaniel2576]

Here’s what I downloaded while watching. It’s an AA meeting at a homeless shelter so chances are many people there already know many people there, the ones hanging around probably know the guy and are either offering help so he doesn’t die or protecting the people they know. No matter if I’m right or wrong or they are right or wrong that’s how I see it. Depending on the length of sobriety there in that room or more importantly the possible lack of sobriety in that room that too plays a part in the slow actions and reactions of those in the room. No matter what, I’m seeking shelter if I can’t get out of that room or getting out of the room altogether. Thanks for these videos. I learn a lot. Much respect.

[@roberttipps6008]

I was a LEO for 13 years. Shot at 2 times. Hundreds of incidents where i was in CQB warrants/search executions. I can name less than 2 hands the times i used a shield. 1) limited resources 2) limited man power (Both effect each other) 1) there was 1 shield available to the whole department. It stayed at the office. Un-practical to put an incident on hold for ???? mins to get a shield and leave a brother at a situation by himself. 2) we ran 4 deputies for a shift. Most warrant arrest situations you were lucky to have 1-3man team 1 man with rifle, the other to guy(s) hands on Most fugitives are runners before they are shooters… shields are heavy, awkward, bulky, site restrictive( all things you said) Deputy sheriffs have 100’s of guys squirt on them with very few ever shot at. They sure aren’t gonna catch a guy with a shield. Thats why you dont see them. To call a swat team meant something real bad had already happened. Most every high risk warrant i assisted US marshall teams with…. They hold their ground with a shield and call the dirt bag out to them. Its ideal. Dope warrants and Hostage rescue you cant do that with. You gotta go. Thanks for all your analysis. You are spot on

[@ryean1_aus]

Don't you run any shield in the trunk or response vehicle?

[@James_Edward59]

Yes you definitely can use shields in drug warrants dealing with those kind of people. If anything, your teams issue was the manpower. There’s no reason you should be serving warrants with only 3 men.

[@ricoromano-inspiradalife365]

Just a clarification on the use of the shield. Most cops would love to be able to use the sheild. Unfortunately some agencies, incluiding mine, do not allow officers to use the shield in a structure. Only SWAT officer who have participated in sheild CQ training are allowed to use it

[@perniciousreaper4393]

YES. It drives me bat shit crazy when four cops stand 20 feet away from someone they just ventilated and just yell "show me your hands" over and over and over again. One of two things eventually happens. A squared-away supervisor or other fellow officer shows up and starts leading, as you said; or someone, sometimes a supervisor, says "we need to wait for more officers before we can move in and go code 4." Finally they get a cadre of like 9 officers and they all move up in a phalanx to secure the suspect. Usually, all you should need to secure a suspect (especially one you've shot a dozen times) is two officers. Three is better, but beyond that, you start having diminishing returns.

[@raginasiangaming910]

Mike speaks the truth. And it's not like what he's saying are super secret tactics. We trained a lot of the same things in the Army and I was never a Tier I guy...just a grunt. Always try for alternative breach points. Never verbally communicate intent, always mirror the guy in front of you (thus doing the opposite cos a mirror is backwards). The problem is that there's a lot of half-trained cops running around thinking they are operators because they did a few lessons on CQB/CQM. I've seen a lot of these in my area. Young guys that barely pass their qualification, but are quick to whip out the tactical rifle they bought for $4000. The same rifle that's dripping with high tech gadgets...all while the officer cam barely hit targets normally. Shit drives me crazy. I spent most of my time in the military and contracting working with a normal service rifle (M4 or AK), often with iron sights or a simple red dot. Nothing fancy, but what I learned as a private was that it's not gadgets, but marksmanship that counts.
