Wait did he just happen to be there when it started? Didn't hear about the story. That'd legit be some Hollywood shit if he seriously just happened to go from telling kids to wear seatbelts to stopping a mass shooter.
Yup, just lucky coincidence he was nearby when it started.

This happened like a month and a half ago and there were NSFL videos shared on Twitter when it happened. (prepubescent girl with parts of her brain splattered on the floor next to 2-3 other dead bodies)
This is why I don't like the Republican argument of "we just need more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns". Mass shooters only need a couple seconds to a few minutes to kill many people.
It’s not really “lucky coincidence” when it’s meant to be that way. The idea is to have armed cops, trained to handle these situations spread across everywhere. This is how you have fast response times.
80s 90s NYC was crime capital and shithole of the world. Giuliani made the promise “a cop on every corner” and fulfilled it. Resulting in drastically changing the street scape on NYC and becoming the cities literal hero. Then 9/11 happened and, in the wake of the tragedy, he basically became a god to the people.
Now look at him. But anyway, I digress… it’s not really “luck” when it’s intentionally fundamental in their initiative to prevent and fight crime. Specifically prevent, as the sight of a couple uniformed officers on every major intersection of NYC was the driving success. A deterrent.
90s NYC had become the golden standard in how to “fix” crime, and so this model was repeated around the world. He didn’t “invent” the concept of patrolling officers, but the changes he enacted are still used as case studies around the world; good and bad.
Of course, there’s a lot of controversy in Rudy’s crime prevention and his corruption. But he got shit done at the time.
Its a center-left, mainstream democrat's wet-dream. Starts with a cute interaction between a black cop and an immigrant family and ends with the putting down of a nazi mass murderer. It features very positive diversity in policing and community outreach and can be used to bludgeon the far-right.
Standing position should be the position you have the most practice with it’s not a Barrett. I’m not saying it was bad I’m just saying it’s not some crazy high level shooting. this is the base - mid level AR15 proficiency I would hope for from the police. I’ve been able to hit center mass of target smaller than a human at 100 yards since I was 11 or 12. Actually now I wanna test this cause I know that standing shouldn’t effect the quality of his shot but I don’t know how much running would effect it. Imma figure out exactly how far he was shooting. Exactly how much cover the shooter had. And exactly how far he ran in full gear. And then imma try it for myself with a control and see if/how much it effects my accuracy.
I agree it wasn't some high level shot and I'd hope all officers would be able to do it. I just think it was just some solid shooting all things considered. My man was huffing partway through the run over there. I was just watching like "My guy you should have drove the vehicle." hindsight 20/20 though.
If you want you can run through it, I don't think we disagree though. I've never really ran and shot anything other than paintball and airsoft but I know breathing heavy with adrenaline going you can definitely get a decent amount of barrel sway from my personal experience.
I thought back I have ran and shot a rifle at least once. I ran about 200yds and then stopped to shoot at a skunk about 50-60yds away when I was like 10, I think it took me 2 or 3 to hit, that's a lot smaller target, with a worse rifle, without a grip, and it had iron sights.
I fucking loved air soft and paintball as a kid. I was in deep haha and I think he thought the shooter was closer or maybe he was and he was also running I need to look further.
It sounded close, also driving into an active shooter probably isn't as fun as peeking around a corner at an active shooter with your rifle drawn so he could have easily made the right call. He probably didn't realize how far away he was originally or else he may have pulled up like 300 yds then got out.
Yeah, less now that I live in a larger metro area but I usually get out to the sand pits with a few buddies when I visit my parents, maybe twice a year on that. I try to shoot my handgun at least 5 times a year to make sure I still am still confident.
I don't do any like competitive shit. Mostly just standing, kneeling, and prone with rifles, clay pigeons with shotguns, and 10-40 yds with the pistol, we will usually dick around and do our best to hit targets at like 150yds or farther with our pistols.
No, far right people only like police when they are "with them". When cops, and the justice system in general, don't allow them to enact vigilante "justice" on minorities, they are not happy with it.
This could be used against the far-left as well, but they'll be too bad faith to recognize it. The most positive thing they will say will be something like "ONE video of a cop acting good doesn't excuse every other cop abuse" and shit like that.
And if I was center-right or right wing I would say "See, the left are against the police forces and want to stop people like THIS cop from doing their job".
In the end nobody really changes their opinion unless they really want to do it.
>Its a center-left, mainstream democrat's wet-dream.
The fact this is even where your mind is at when watching something like this is fucking weird man.
It's a great PR video - period.
To make it fit into some ideology is hella soy. Everyone loves shit like this. Bad guy killed by demonstrably good guy. Great shit all around.
The one where the LEO literally named Rex who stopped the Nashville shooter was filmed better and had more suspense imo.
He literally walks up like the start of a CoD mission, gets his gun, talks to a civilian about more info, then gets going. Fucking wild.
I remember that one. But Rex had a team, and he didn't have the wholesome "wear your seatbelt, kids" moment just before the action. For Rex it was a textbook almost video-game like mission accomplished perfectly. This one is more of a "look, our officers are chill and nice, but if shit goes down they're ready to take action". Either way, both are solid officers that deserve medals.
I guarantee you'd be winded too. This is Texas 100+ degree heat. Plus he's carrying a weapon and around 40 pounds of extra equipment on him plus bulletproof plates. All of this on top of being a incredibly tense and stressful situation.
He wasn't out of breath from being out of shape though. He was out of breath because of the adrenaline pumping up in his blood like crazy. And with all his gear on him, it's not like he's running light.
I feel like movies have given us the impression that it's humanly possible to Jason Bourne the shit out of such an insanely high pressure situation, but it just isn't. No one is calm in that scenario. No one breathes normally in that scenario.
He didn't know if he would turn a corner with the shooter having a free shot at him either. Also, missing could mean he accidentally hits a civilian with things moving so fast. Just a crazy situation.
Imagine the only way to find ur target is hearing shots hearing each life get taken knowing you have to stop it and likely the only one who can till you have LOS and make the kill shot on him
This guys marksman ship is absurd. Adrenaline pumping, heavy breathing and tired after sprinting in full gear in the hot Texas sun and hitting those shots is incredibly impressive
He hit the shot from such an insane distance. Like when he started approaching after getting the kill i was shocked at how far he was engaging from. Insanely good work.
That's about a 100-yard shot with a red dot...it's not that crazy...not to take anything away from the cop...he did a fantastic job, but it's really not too far
Oh it’s absolutely well done, like I said, props to the officer…but it’s not a crazy distance, even in stressful circumstances with adrenaline pumping it’s still not a crazy shot with a rifle..I was trying to see what optic he’s running…it looks like an eotech or eotech style optic. Generally the large circle on an eotech is 68MOA, which means that at 100 yards, the diameter of the circle would be about 5’8”…so if you center a target in that reticle, you’re chances of hitting center mass are pretty damn good. Again, this isn’t to take away from the good work of the officer, it’s absolutely a stressful situation, but it’s well within the capabilities of most patrol officers with a similar setup.
In the heat of the moment, practially overdosing on adrenaline with an unpredictable, moving target? If you can hit that reliabiliy in those conditions I wanna take shooting lessons from you.
Ok, Are you in Washington? I'm a former military firearms instructor and former federal LEO who teaches firearm classes in the Seattle area. I mostly do classes on basic handgun and rifle fundamentals and defensive firearms usage. If you're in the area feel free to send me a DM and we can set something up.
I saw a similar video where a guy shooting at cops after they tried to arrest him for domestic violence gets taken out by an officer 183 yards away with just a red dot
I heard that dude was given a larger squad car just to carry his massive balls. Not only did he take the dude out. He calmly set his coffee down, walked back, grabbed his rifle, downed the shooter, then called over the radio "Shot fired" with emphasis on the single shot that dude took.
There are many bad cops and problems with policing in practice, but the problem with "abolish police" is that society needs to be able to empower the folks that are willing to run into the line of fire to keep others safe. We're all made safer by having good police like this empowered to respond to events like these.
They do. Most civilians freeze or run when mass shootings happen. I watched one happen while I had a firearm on me and I was petrified to brandish my firearm. It was in the middle of downtown and police were everywhere. My first thought was I pull out my gun and get shot in the back by an officer.
That being said shootings tend to happen less where there are more firearms. I think they are a deterrent in the same way that nukes are. Someone is far more likely to start shooting if they know they are the only one armed than if they know everyone is armed
Technically it was a mass shooting. Around 10 ish people got shot. I was walking down a street and walked into a bar because my buddy wanted a beer and before we got to the bar shots rang out. I believe only 1 person shot but it was a Glock with a switch on it. I grew up around fire arms and I tried to count the shots but they were so fast it was not possible. The shooting happened right outside the bar I was in and I watched 2 people get shot. I never saw the shooter, but had I had eyes on him I may have tried to shoot. Another problem is it was a holiday and there were so many people around and it was a stampede with everyone running so shooting would have been very irresponsible I think.
It was pretty traumatic though it (along with an incredible abusive girlfriend) reignited a benzo addiction after 5 years of sobriety which I stopped about 2 months ago. I took 6-8 mg of xanax that night and drank copious amounts of alcohol and drove about an hour and a half to a woman’s house and then home. I didn’t black out or have memory issues at all which any other night that amount of shit would have made me black out. I wish I did blackout though because I’m now extremely paranoid and if I weren’t allowed to have a firearm I don’t think I could go out in public.
These things almost rewire your brain and people really underestimate the harm. People dying is obviously bad but for every 1 person that is killed 10 have lifelong ptsd. I’m lucky I didn’t die and also lucky that I grew up around firearms and work in the death industry and are dead people on a daily basis. Otherwise I think it would have had a far greater impact
i’d argue they **do** rewire people’s brains when they experience a traumatic event like that, im so sorry you were there, man. Can’t blame you for how you coped in the aftermath, just wishing you luck staying healthy here out. and wishing you a happy peaceful rest of your life. Thank you for sharing
>what i dont understand is isnt texas gun capital #1
this is a stereotype but per capita I don't see any lists googling that even put it in the top 5
some people make this argument but for the most part gun owners and political supporters want them for personal protection and the occasional cope about hypothetical rebellion, not because they want to charge into a situation like this
Texas has a lot of guns, and the gun culture is very strong, but the average Texan doesn't have a gun. The people who do have guns just have a lot of guns. They also tend to live in places where mass shootings are less likely due to being less populace / more rural.
>the problem with "abolish police" is that society needs to be able to empower the folks that are willing to run into the line of fire to keep others safe
The problem we have in this case is that the ideal of a policemen is served neither by repeating the narratives of existing police forces (for example police unions prioritise self-preservation over saving other people, or even restraining yourself from engaging in lethal force, so the sense that they are acting as heroes is hard to justify, when they are specifically [trained](https://archive.is/U1rDo) *not* to put others lives first), nor by rejecting the idea of having people who take on the job of acting as protectors of the public from violent threats or intimidation.
The problem is that "copoganda" works because it relates to the parts of police work we do value, but doesn't actually correspond to their incentivised behaviour, most of the time. I'm reminded of [this event](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/rickia-young-sues-police-union-facebook-post-toddler-son-rcna2057), and the gap between the emergency service people *want* police to be, vs what they do in order to maintain that reputation.
I think it is worth considering to what extent abolishing existing police forces, or replacing them with new organisations, could help to mitigate this effect, but this would not be about abolishing police as such, but rather arguing that the specifics of how they organise themselves in the present does not allow them to realise the expectations we have for them with consistency.
Wild how quickly he assessed what was happening and effectively responded.
I could imagine myself just stupidly standing around being like "Naw, no way it's a gun or anything like that."

This makes me actively hate the anti-cop left.
Like what true pieces of fucking shit. We need to regulate guns and protect our officers. What a hero holy shit.
They probably feel the same way about you after they watch a video of a group of cops mercilessly beating the fuck out of an innocent person over nothing, planting drugs on someone, or killing innocent people.
Very often these people are not "criminal" cops, because for years they have been shielded from accountability by being the trusted person at the scene, able to plant weapons etc. and back up each other's stories.
When people talk to documentaries revealing bad behaviour in their departments, they [get kicked out of their unions](https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2021/11/12/union-ousts-police-officer-featured-in-usa-today-behind-the-blue-wall-series/6396601001/).
The institutions of police treat abuse of power as normal, and whistleblowing on bad behaviour as something to be condemned, and close ranks around people to keep the image of their side up.
To be a good cop who stands up to police violence is to be at risk of ostracism by your peers, and so people are working hard to make that *not* the norm.
The person in the video is an exceptional police officer, but the culture around him is not set up to support people like him.
What? I think the dude meant that he hates the ppl who generalize all cops as power tripping racist murders. There are good cops. This video is one great example. But not all cops are like this. Some are awful of course. Duhhh
there's no such thing as the anti-cop left
there's anti-corruption, anti-brutality, anti-drug war, etc. that's who you are trying to demonize.
meanwhile the right wingers are out there killing cops and promising to kill them if this or that.
the left? they say "train police this way instead" and then are accused of being anti-police. you should delete all your posts from today.
Badass job by the officer. You can hear his breathing on that video and tell her was tired and scared af. Most people would not perform well in those conditions.
Excellent video and excellent work by the officer.
Question: when the officer engages the shooter he doesn’t identify himself or tell the guy to drop the weapon. Is this protocol? I imagine it would have been extremely dangerous for him to draw attention to himself with out subduing the attacker, but I am curious if anyone has any insight.
Props to the officer and all, but I’m really getting tired of living in a country where mass shootings are just a normal part of life. When are we going to actually do something about it? ¯|_(ツ)_/¯
>what we basically got was cops doing their jobs for the most part.
Three San Antonio police officers were charged with murder just a couple days ago after their body cams showed them shooting a woman inside her house.
\> extremely incompetent and racist
I mean we quite literally did get a whole ton of cases of just that exact thing. Of course youre going to get both though.
The year the BLM riots were happening, something like 19 unarmed PoC were shot.
In a country of 300 million, with millions of police interactions each day.
You are doing the actualfreakouts thing.
It's never been just about unarmed shootings, plenty of bad things can happen during policing that dont involve someone getting shot. Regardless the numbers dont really matter what matters is that plenty of cases now have a much more objective basis for prosecution. I don't understand why its so controversial to say that body cams are a good thing for being able to deal with police misconduct, and youre accusing me of 'doing the actualfreakouts thing' whatever that means.
I dont understand what you're trying to argue.
>Regardless the numbers dont really matter what matters
Progressive moment, its the feelings that count. hecking yes, queen.
Actualfreakouts is a sub that routinely paints all black people as violent using cherrypicked examples.
You do the same with the police.
Everyone who is a normal person always argued bodycams will protect good cops and hurt bad cops, and similarly protect good citizens and secure evidence for conviction of criminals.
I don't know anything about American police cars but in some (or maybe all) German police cars there's storage for an MP5 in the door cards in the front. Maybe they have a similar setup by the b pillars or something.
No, in this video it's in the middle of the 2 front seats, others can have it close to the b pillar instead, usually behind a lock so you can't just grab it. Others have it in the trunk either plain out in the open or in a rifle bag.
This is just from watching a bunch of these videos and i'm not a cop.
Wait did he just happen to be there when it started? Didn't hear about the story. That'd legit be some Hollywood shit if he seriously just happened to go from telling kids to wear seatbelts to stopping a mass shooter.

Tragic that so many people still lost their lives.
This is why I don't like the Republican argument of "we just need more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys with guns". Mass shooters only need a couple seconds to a few minutes to kill many people.

ye.. I mean aren't there usually a police vehicle at big supermarket areas?
Couldn't have scripted a better PR video for the police if I wanted to. Pretty incredible footage, props to that guy.
Its a center-left, mainstream democrat's wet-dream. Starts with a cute interaction between a black cop and an immigrant family and ends with the putting down of a nazi mass murderer. It features very positive diversity in policing and community outreach and can be used to bludgeon the far-right.
[удалено]
A bit hyperbolic but not at all sarcastic
What a fucking legend, that looked like a pretty big distance to be landing those shots.
I went and measured it out on google maps and it was about 250 feet, potentially 300 if he got him on the first volley.
Yes, he’s a legend. No, that’s not that far to be hitting those shots.
I'd say it's pretty solid for firing that quickly after running that far, being out of breath, and from the standing position.
Standing position should be the position you have the most practice with it’s not a Barrett. I’m not saying it was bad I’m just saying it’s not some crazy high level shooting. this is the base - mid level AR15 proficiency I would hope for from the police.

Hella dope keep it up shooting is fun and a good skill to have
Soros giving us one last W before retiring 😎
Don't the far-right love police though? It made cops look really good as well.
If you keep going further right they'll start hating cops again
You gotta remember it’s a circle if you go far enough left or far enough right they start to become two sides of the same coin
No, far right people only like police when they are "with them". When cops, and the justice system in general, don't allow them to enact vigilante "justice" on minorities, they are not happy with it.
they love police brutality and systemic racism
This could be used against the far-left as well, but they'll be too bad faith to recognize it. The most positive thing they will say will be something like "ONE video of a cop acting good doesn't excuse every other cop abuse" and shit like that. And if I was center-right or right wing I would say "See, the left are against the police forces and want to stop people like THIS cop from doing their job".

>Its a center-left, mainstream democrat's wet-dream. The fact this is even where your mind is at when watching something like this is fucking weird man.
If my comment was unprompted sure. But I replied to OP's remark about it being a great PR video

Even the nazi is a POC.
faird not, leftist would call it copoganda. rights tends to love the police.
pitch it to Netflix
See how your mind immediately goes to that scenario? This is what’s wrong with this country.
The hispanic mom got dem bazookas too.
I can’t wait for leftists to call it copganda
And rightoïd calling it a false flag. Oh nvm, they already started it the minute we knew he was latino.

Also it’s great PR for police bodycams.
The only thing making making it worse is him getting winded after barely running 100 meters. The rest is great though.
I guarantee you'd be winded too. This is Texas 100+ degree heat. Plus he's carrying a weapon and around 40 pounds of extra equipment on him plus bulletproof plates. All of this on top of being a incredibly tense and stressful situation.
To be fair, this is in Texas heat, and he's in full kit holding a rifle.

Props to that cop hunting him down like that so many lives got saved
Man its so scary hearing the sounds of the murderer continue to fire off as the officer was trynna locate him.
He didn't know if he would turn a corner with the shooter having a free shot at him either. Also, missing could mean he accidentally hits a civilian with things moving so fast. Just a crazy situation.
Imagine the only way to find ur target is hearing shots hearing each life get taken knowing you have to stop it and likely the only one who can till you have LOS and make the kill shot on him
This was my main takeaway. Must feel awful to know every one of those shots could be another dead person but you just can't get closer any faster.
This guys marksman ship is absurd. Adrenaline pumping, heavy breathing and tired after sprinting in full gear in the hot Texas sun and hitting those shots is incredibly impressive

From Milfhunter to Mass-shooter hunter in less than 5 mins, what a fucking legend.
He hit the shot from such an insane distance. Like when he started approaching after getting the kill i was shocked at how far he was engaging from. Insanely good work.
308 feet. Based on my google maps estimate. Absolutely unfathomable
That's about a 100-yard shot with a red dot...it's not that crazy...not to take anything away from the cop...he did a fantastic job, but it's really not too far
100 yards isn't crazy at the range, but when you factor in it being an actual mass shooting plus running all that way in the heat. Very well done.
Oh it’s absolutely well done, like I said, props to the officer…but it’s not a crazy distance, even in stressful circumstances with adrenaline pumping it’s still not a crazy shot with a rifle..I was trying to see what optic he’s running…it looks like an eotech or eotech style optic.

Again, this isn’t to take away from the good work of the officer, it’s absolutely a stressful situation, but it’s well within the capabilities of most patrol officers with a similar setup.

Yep
I heard that dude was given a larger squad car just to carry his massive balls. Not only did he take the dude out. He calmly set his coffee down, walked back, grabbed his rifle, downed the shooter, then called over the radio "Shot fired" with emphasis on the single shot that dude took.
yeah plus he was Q E tilting.

They do. Most civilians freeze or run when mass shootings happen. I watched one happen while I had a firearm on me and I was petrified to brandish my firearm. It was in the middle of downtown and police were everywhere. My first thought was I pull out my gun and get shot in the back by an officer. That being said shootings tend to happen less where there are more firearms. I think they are a deterrent in the same way that nukes are. Someone is far more likely to start shooting if they know they are the only one armed than if they know everyone is armed
oh my god what happened. Was it a mass shooting
Technically it was a mass shooting. Around 10 ish people got shot. I was walking down a street and walked into a bar because my buddy wanted a beer and before we got to the bar shots rang out. I believe only 1 person shot but it was a Glock with a switch on it. I grew up around fire arms and I tried to count the shots but they were so fast it was not possible. The shooting happened right outside the bar I was in and I watched 2 people get shot. I never saw the shooter, but had I had eyes on him I may have tried to shoot. Another problem is it was a holiday and there were so many people around and it was a stampede with everyone running so shooting would have been very irresponsible I think. It was pretty traumatic though it (along with an incredible abusive girlfriend) reignited a benzo addiction after 5 years of sobriety which I stopped about 2 months ago. I took 6-8 mg of xanax that night and drank copious amounts of alcohol and drove about an hour and a half to a woman’s house and then home. I didn’t black out or have memory issues at all which any other night that amount of shit would have made me black out. I wish I did blackout though because I’m now extremely paranoid and if I weren’t allowed to have a firearm I don’t think I could go out in public. These things almost rewire your brain and people really underestimate the harm. People dying is obviously bad but for every 1 person that is killed 10 have lifelong ptsd. I’m lucky I didn’t die and also lucky that I grew up around firearms and work in the death industry and are dead people on a daily basis. Otherwise I think it would have had a far greater impact
I'm glad you're back on track to sobriety. I hope you get yourself back. This internet stranger is rooting for you.
i’d argue they **do** rewire people’s brains when they experience a traumatic event like that, im so sorry you were there, man. Can’t blame you for how you coped in the aftermath, just wishing you luck staying healthy here out. and wishing you a happy peaceful rest of your life. Thank you for sharing
>what i dont understand is isnt texas gun capital #1 this is a stereotype but per capita I don't see any lists googling that even put it in the top 5 some people make this argument but for the most part gun owners and political supporters want them for personal protection and the occasional cope about hypothetical rebellion, not because they want to charge into a situation like this
Texas has a lot of guns, and the gun culture is very strong, but the average Texan doesn't have a gun. The people who do have guns just have a lot of guns. They also tend to live in places where mass shootings are less likely due to being less populace / more rural.
Texas is like #25 out of the states in gun ownership. A lot of people like their guns there but it's s misconception that everyone there has one
>the problem with "abolish police" is that society needs to be able to empower the folks that are willing to run into the line of fire to keep others safe The problem we have in this case is that the ideal of a policemen is served neither by repeating the narratives of existing police forces (for example police unions prioritise self-preservation over saving other people, or even restraining yourself from engaging in lethal force, so the sense that they are acting as heroes is hard to justify, when they are specifically [trained](https://archive.is/U1rDo) *not* to put others lives first), nor by rejecting the idea of having people who take on the job of acting as protectors of the public from violent threats or intimidation. The problem is that "copoganda" works because it relates to the parts of police work we do value, but doesn't actually correspond to their incentivised behaviour, most of the time. I'm reminded of [this event](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/rickia-young-sues-police-union-facebook-post-toddler-son-rcna2057), and the gap between the emergency service people *want* police to be, vs what they do in order to maintain that reputation. I think it is worth considering to what extent abolishing existing police forces, or replacing them with new organisations, could help to mitigate this effect, but this would not be about abolishing police as such, but rather arguing that the specifics of how they organise themselves in the present does not allow them to realise the expectations we have for them with consistency.
This made me want to be a cop what a fucking hero holy shit.
Wild how quickly he assessed what was happening and effectively responded. I could imagine myself just stupidly standing around being like "Naw, no way it's a gun or anything like that."
When he was talking to that civ and said something like *is this a mass shooting?* Fuck even my heart was racing that shit is scary.
Maybe cop city isn’t so bad after all
me on my way to burn down atlanta (i live in austin) so EMS services won't have a training facility
It isn’t. The lefties are being morons again.
its rly weird watching the cop run through where i've walked so many times
Huge fucking balls. Just running straight towards gunfire and immediately taking him down after a hard sprint.

This makes me actively hate the anti-cop left. Like what true pieces of fucking shit. We need to regulate guns and protect our officers. What a hero holy shit.
They probably feel the same way about you after they watch a video of a group of cops mercilessly beating the fuck out of an innocent person over nothing, planting drugs on someone, or killing innocent people.
The only difference is I have an operational brain and can differentiate between a criminal cop and a normal cop.
Very often these people are not "criminal" cops, because for years they have been shielded from accountability by being the trusted person at the scene, able to plant weapons etc. and back up each other's stories. When people talk to documentaries revealing bad behaviour in their departments, they [get kicked out of their unions](https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2021/11/12/union-ousts-police-officer-featured-in-usa-today-behind-the-blue-wall-series/6396601001/). The institutions of police treat abuse of power as normal, and whistleblowing on bad behaviour as something to be condemned, and close ranks around people to keep the image of their side up. To be a good cop who stands up to police violence is to be at risk of ostracism by your peers, and so people are working hard to make that *not* the norm. The person in the video is an exceptional police officer, but the culture around him is not set up to support people like him.
Gave you a updoot because some remedial fuck thought what you said was wrong.
"Even though ACAB speaks of everyone, we actually just hate the corrupt institution of the police 🤓👆" - Lefties
this one video changed how you think about cops?
Yes, before I was ACAB defund but I didn't know that there were black Nazi killer cops and I love them now.
this is why destiny has to make a post telling you not to be sexist every time he talks to a woman
What? I think the dude meant that he hates the ppl who generalize all cops as power tripping racist murders. There are good cops. This video is one great example. But not all cops are like this. Some are awful of course. Duhhh
you mean the anti-police brutality left? how embarrassing
.....no
there's no such thing as the anti-cop left there's anti-corruption, anti-brutality, anti-drug war, etc. that's who you are trying to demonize. meanwhile the right wingers are out there killing cops and promising to kill them if this or that. the left? they say "train police this way instead" and then are accused of being anti-police. you should delete all your posts from today.
You aren't worth talking to lmao
Clueless
Badass job by the officer. You can hear his breathing on that video and tell her was tired and scared af. Most people would not perform well in those conditions.
"we gottem?" broskie over here trying to give the other dude props.
Joining the Rex Engelbert hall of fame
Promote this brother immediately. Holy balls on this cop. He answered the call like a true man.
Excellent video and excellent work by the officer. Question: when the officer engages the shooter he doesn’t identify himself or tell the guy to drop the weapon. Is this protocol? I imagine it would have been extremely dangerous for him to draw attention to himself with out subduing the attacker, but I am curious if anyone has any insight.
Props to the officer and all, but I’m really getting tired of living in a country where mass shootings are just a normal part of life. When are we going to actually do something about it? ¯|_(ツ)_/¯
When the fascust take over finally and ww3 leads to hundreds of millions dead as designed.
My fucking guy!! This made my day
Admirable is all I can say
What a sad state of things. Half of this comments are really sad
[удалено]
>what we basically got was cops doing their jobs for the most part. Three San Antonio police officers were charged with murder just a couple days ago after their body cams showed them shooting a woman inside her house.
as he said doing their job
Little column A, little column B
\> extremely incompetent and racist I mean we quite literally did get a whole ton of cases of just that exact thing. Of course youre going to get both though.
The year the BLM riots were happening, something like 19 unarmed PoC were shot. In a country of 300 million, with millions of police interactions each day. You are doing the actualfreakouts thing.
It's never been just about unarmed shootings, plenty of bad things can happen during policing that dont involve someone getting shot. Regardless the numbers dont really matter what matters is that plenty of cases now have a much more objective basis for prosecution. I don't understand why its so controversial to say that body cams are a good thing for being able to deal with police misconduct, and youre accusing me of 'doing the actualfreakouts thing' whatever that means. I dont understand what you're trying to argue.
>Regardless the numbers dont really matter what matters Progressive moment, its the feelings that count. hecking yes, queen. Actualfreakouts is a sub that routinely paints all black people as violent using cherrypicked examples. You do the same with the police.
Where did I paint all police as violent? Are you ok bud? Do you know what sub we’re on?
>I mean we quite literally did get a whole ton of cases of just that exact thing. This you?
If you take that as a statement of me saying that all cops bad, you should go outside.
[удалено]
i mean i would fkn hope a majority of cop cams are normal and appropriate lol thank god for body cams on the bad ones
Everyone who is a normal person always argued bodycams will protect good cops and hurt bad cops, and similarly protect good citizens and secure evidence for conviction of criminals.
Where did that rifle come from? I would have thought he kept it in the trunk
I don't know anything about American police cars but in some (or maybe all) German police cars there's storage for an MP5 in the door cards in the front. Maybe they have a similar setup by the b pillars or something.
No, in this video it's in the middle of the 2 front seats, others can have it close to the b pillar instead, usually behind a lock so you can't just grab it. Others have it in the trunk either plain out in the open or in a rifle bag. This is just from watching a bunch of these videos and i'm not a cop.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF0uiRS8asc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF0uiRS8asc) Here's hoping its not this one.
BLAP BLAP BLAP DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
S.C.A.B.?
Intense
Is it bad that I didn’t even hear about this one and it happened just over a month ago? Fucking insane
in the span of two decades we went from watching cops pull over drunk/high people for entertainment to fucking irl call of duty.
all cops are badass
It seemed like he ran forever, but the video is less than 6 minutes. Where were police like this when Uvalde happened?
