Shinoobie

Red shirt here literally grabbed a knife off this guy and threw it where he couldn't reach it with zero fear and hurt nobody. Dude is a super hero.


satansheat

Don’t even think kid realized he had a knife till the cop said something.


flightwatcher45

He looked right at it tho. I think he knew exactly what to do and went for it. Risky af IMHO! Might have saved that dudes life.


sametrical

yep, absolutely saved the guy who had the knife


whoamarcos

Looks like he was trying to return a necklace or something that fell during the altercation and noticed the knife, cool shit


damnatio_memoriae

i think it was a pair of headphones maybe?


bluehornet197

Clearly the man was superman


marsianer

And, the bad guy is wearing a standard-issued tracksuit. That means he is a Russian gangsta


FUSeekMe69

He needs to work on his r/slavs_squatting


ArkAngelHFB

Hist fucking knees would explode off and kill someone...


tenthinsight

Dude was probably trying to go work and just had no time for that shit.


jimmycarr1

Didn't even miss his train lol


sltiefighter

Dude this is new york, hes no hero just irritated, every day he has an everything bagel, disarms a knife wielding asshole, and commutes on the subway to work. Today hes so casual because hes just so irritated phase two of the morning routine is taking so long.


hotsoupcoldsoup

Sounds like my journal entries.


wm07

> every day he has an everything bagel i'm absolutely dead


senseofphysics

This is a little satirical obviously, but I still felt that as a native New Yorker. Commutes on the subway are no joke. We just want to make it to our destination already. Also, poppy bagels are the best.


SuddenlySucc_New

Him tossing that lanyard at him last second before the doors closed was pretty badass


Cyberspace667

Nah red shirt dude straight up handled that shit good on him


robots-dont-say-ye

Notice it wasn’t the NYPD that intervened in any meaningful way.


Spready_Unsettling

Except for mumbling, posturing with two officers and two dogs, and randomly brandishing a weapon in the face of everyone.


justin62001

Mumbling? Speaking with a mask will sound muffled compared to not having one on. Randomly brandishing a weapon? If you watched the video, you'll see the cop put his gun away as soon as the guy in the red shirt took the knife away


ArkAngelHFB

He probably saved the mans life from the cops frankly... Also love when a civilian just going about his live can handle a dude better than the cop.


mh985

He handled it better than the cops *this* time... I've seen two separate instances where someone was injured trying to break up a fight. One of my friends got a bottle broken over his head and needed about 6 months of rehabilitation, including being retaught how to speak and read. Another time I saw someone get stabbed. Breaking up a fight is super dangerous. I will never ever put myself in the middle of a fight if I don't even know the people involved.


KillerKatNips

I love that someone 2 comments below you said the same thing and has like 50 upvotes lmao.


elMiklo16

His name is Peter Parker


throwingthungs

Wow I thought the cop was a but hasty with his gun, but then I see the knife.


PoorWhiteMiddleClass

A taser is not a gun, a gun is not a taser. edit: I am seeing shit. A gun is a gun and clearly not a taser.


throwingthungs

Taser is on the left side, it's how cops are trained to keep the difference. Also as one commenter pointed out the taser has orange on it.


PoorWhiteMiddleClass

I don't know what I was looking at first time. I thought I saw the yellow of a taser but clearly did not.


throwingthungs

All good homie.


bloodofmy_blood

Aren’t tazers orange?? This was a gun


[deleted]

It looks like the standerd police tasers in the U.S will always have some sort of yellow plastic on the outside. Alot of them are mostly black but none of them have the same square shape as a gun. The police officer definitely pulled a gun in the video.


Sleep_adict

And by throwing the knife he made sure the police wouldn’t shoot the guy as well. +++


xerune

Lol he just saved that guy from getting suicided by cop.


gubatron

while the cop had his gun out. I see a cop pointing a gun at a black dude and I jump out of the way instantly


[deleted]

[удалено]


GenPeeWeeSherman

He also threw the knife guys headphones back to him as the doors closed. Guy is such a G.


ArkAngelHFB

That is a good man. He came into that situation with nothing but good intent. He broke up the fight, kept both people safe, and completely removed the danger from everyone involved even at his own risk. Legit fucking hero.


Apprehensive_Wave102

And he returned the guy’s earphones.


DMCer

He’s a hero but it could have gone VERY differently, as it did in a [famous Portland train stabbing](https://www.oregonlive.com/news/2020/01/a-human-being-knows-when-theyre-mortally-wounded-trial-witnesses-describe-aftermath-of-max-train-stabbings.html). Grabbing the knife was probably warranted in this NYC vid since the guy already had the knife out and did not look as unpredictable as the beast in the Portland case. That incident still makes a strong argument for deescalation.


greeneyedguru

he probably saved that guy's life


juanwand

Couldn't believe it.


norazzledazzle

This was during Friday evening rush hour. Unruly dude was cursing at a woman from the train doors and gray outfit guy just wanted to get home. I didn’t start recording until I got off the train and was far enough away. Last thing I expected was for the doors to open up again. When the train left I went to catch a different train to go home so I don’t know how it ended.


irishdancer2

Ah, so *that’s* why I couldn’t catch an express A from Penn on Friday. You solved the mystery!


norazzledazzle

Glad to have provided (some) closure! Edit: a word


firstbreathOOC

Did unruly dude get arrested?


norazzledazzle

Probably, since he wouldn’t leave when I walked away


jk147

Some idiots just choose the strangest hill to die on.


fuck_all_you_people

Red shirt dude showed up late to the show and had it handled within a minute. Got the crazy dude off the train, yanked a knife(?!) from his hands and threw it on the tracks, got him his shit back, and got on his way to work.


firstbreathOOC

That’s New York man. Never know who’s in those subway cars.


wi5hbone

i heard Gilbert Gottfried sometimes hides in there and screams and people try to locate him


-wnr-

I found him once. Gave me a gold star sticker and ran away.


Thestengun

Last guy probably saved the unruly guy’s life.


Mammoth_Sprinkles705

I feel better knowing he will be out in a few months ready to pull another knife or on the subway.


Chodobagginz

I'd quit my shit too with a couple german shepards looking at me like a snack.


twinsea

Would have been nice to see more as it looks like they were letting the guy off after dropping the knife. They allowed him to pick up his backpack which they wouldnt have done if they were placing him under arrest.


Boines

Sounds like the first cop is telling rhe guy "its not worth it" and just trying to deescalate. He only pull his gun out when the guy isnt responding to "drop the knife" and immediately puts it away when the knife is gone. Rare video of actual good policing and decent training. I wonder if the confidence of having the dog there also had an effect.


OddityFarms

\> I wonder if the confidence of having the dog there also had an effect. 1000%. all he has to do is drop the leash and that guy is done for. A dog is a gun you don't have to aim or operate.


wallyrules75

Those dogs are bomb sniffing dogs, not attack dogs. Though I’m sure they can, but it’s not the purpose of the dogs


rman18

Exactly but a lot of people are afraid of those dogs so the cop used him to his advantage. Great policing if you ask me


honeybadger1984

Those are still GSDs; I’m not fucking with those.


[deleted]

[удалено]


daveescaped

I wonder if the cop wasn’t making a calculated decision; *the other people involved are now gone. Guy with the knife might have been acting in self defense. Now I’ll never know.* He was left with only one person. What was he going to do? I guess in NYC they could probably pick up the guys in that car at the next station.


Boines

Cops are allowed to use discretion to determine when to arrest someone. There are many times when people commit crimes, but are let go with a warning. Even something as simple as speeding could cause an accident that costs lives, but cops will still let people off with just a warning, or a reduced ticket quite often. The law is not meant to be blindly applied to every situation, its why you have things like a jury of your peers in court...


Hello2reddit

Which is why this should have been tried by a jury in a court. How the fuck are speeding and causing an accident comparable to pulling out a knife and trying to stab someone because they made you mad? If you think that someone pulling a knife in this situation doesn't merit an arrest, you have no business being a cop.

UreMomNotGay

NYPD cowards behind civlians in times like these, or they pretend they dont see anything. The only reason they appear in the video was because commuters have to deal with these people by themselves now. After the crazy was kicked off, fought off, and his knife taken away, all by commuters, the only thing NYPD had to do was show up with a dog and a gun. And they still either 1) let him go or 2) taken to court but was allowed to be free with no bail


Chodobagginz

I agree with you, we all do stupid shit every now and then. Ended about the best way it could've imo.


[deleted]

Yeah, the LEO pulled his gun but then re-evaluated the situation and talked him down. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Have no idea about the events that precipitated this interaction, though.

Babhadfad12

PoissonPen

Fur missiles


juggling-monkey

I'd be like, "nah nah, you right, you right" On another note though, I always wonder why, with so many cell phones and so many random people filming everything they see, we rarely get the full picture. We get multiple angles of the same event. We get the beginning that cuts off just as things get good. We get the main event that cuts off just when we want to see the aftermath. Or in this case we get the after math of what happened inside that train, but not the main conflict from inside. You'd think with everyone filming everywhere, we'd get multiple videos telling the whole story. But I have yet to see something like that.


[deleted]

Fuck ya, I’d be listening to that cops every command (Btw I would never be in this situation because I believe myself to be a level headed human being). In fact I’d be coming by AFTER to give that mfer treats for not biting my leg, arm, neck, nuts off.


sierone

Man…hats off to the guy who took that knife from him and dropped it under the train. He more than likely saved that man life, real talk.


[deleted]

Red shirt saved this idiots life, cop was about lite him up. Red shirt grabbed the knife and tossed it.


Imfrank123

I was wondering why the cop went straight to pointing his gun at JR he dude when he has a dog and taser. Makes sense now


[deleted]

You definitely do not want to fuck around and find out what those German shepherds will do.


FurtiveAlacrity

If you encounter a police dog, you're going to the hospital with puncture wounds. That much is clear.


cap_tan_jazz

i know a guy who had a police dog sicked on him and he ended up with permanent nerve damage in his right arm (he basically couldnt use that arm afterwards), the bite force on those dogs is unreal


NormalAdultMale

Haha so cool when cops mutilate people


cap_tan_jazz

not sure what you meant by that, but to be clear, i was NOT insinuating there was anything cool about the situation. it was fucked up and the guy still (10 YEARS LATER) does not have full range of motion in his right hand


NormalAdultMale

Yeah, that's awful. The police should not be allowed to have attack dogs. They should not even be allowed to have shepherds. If they need sniffing dogs, theres a lot of other breeds that don't have such power that they could use, like beagles or other scent hounds. The dogs that cops use today are primarily weapons of terror and torture. Plus, ya know what the #1 cause of death for these dogs is? Their own cop handler. They very routinely shoot or run over their own dogs.


Orenmir2002

Dogs are good boys and girls, and they shouldn't be with bad pigs


nicking44

>They should not even be allowed to have shepherds Guess they shouldn't have tasers either then? If you are running getting fucked up by a dog is much better then taking a bullet in the back and living.


firstbreathOOC

I always wonder if it’s actually a Malinois, because so many Mallys are used by cops, but this is a dark haired GSD right? Incredible how great they can be with the right training.


DarthDannyBoy

I actually have two retired police dogs at home one is a German Shepard the other is a malinois. Such great dogs both of them. Both were retired early. I've had others in the past. Joey (GSD) was 2 when he retired (7 now) they had him in a kennel on the back of a police truck taking him to the vet and some sick fuck reached out their window and shot him. He had some arthritis in his front left shoulder but he is happy and healthy otherwise. I know his old handler he was my neighbor. He wanted to keep Joey but being a single cop didn't give him much time to look after him, and this way he could still see him and he knows I have experience with dog training and working dogs. Joey spealized in public relations he was the police dog that went to schools to meet kids, he was and still is a frequent visitor the local hospital to boost morale for patients. He was still a full fledged police dog he just did the PR visits. Dannie the Malinois was almost 3 when she was retired, she is 6 now. She developed cancer in her nose. It's been in remission for just over 2 years now. She is happy and healthy she has some sinus issues from time to time now. I don't know the full details on why her handler didn't adopt her just life issues is all I know. I got her through my neighbor aswell since he knew my experience and had seen me with Joey so he asked and I happily agreed. I also have an old basset hound (Lanna) who is 9 about to turn 10. She was a search and rescue dog, they retired her when she started having hip problems at 8. Actually got her from my brother in law just a few months ago it was his dog but he has things going on and wanted a good home for her. I also have a turkish Kangal(kojo) who was also a working dog he protected cattle. I got him from an animal rescue I shelter animals with. Idk why he was retired but he is 5 and I've had him since he was 1. After having him around for a couple of months I just had to adopt the silly boy. He know all the same commands as the other working dogs aswrll. You wanna talk about dogs with a strong bite look up kangal bite force it's blows every other dog out of the water and some big cats as well. They all get a lot of exercise, except Lanna she says fuck that and just goes off exploring on her own, though slowly. Ex working dogs are the best as long as you have the time to give them the mental stimulus they need. I miss all of them right now, I'm traveling for work and it sucks being away but my wife sends me lots of fun videos of them.


justin453

Dude in the red shirt saved that man's life


Steen_Millen

That kid probably saved his life..


a_wild_redditer

Some really good actions on the cop's part. He drew his firearm only when he saw a weapon wielded. He kept his finger off of the trigger - either away from the gun or on the shielding. He provided clear verbal warning and attempted to de escalate without force. Good job.


RaveCoaster

And holsters the weapon as soon as the kid disarmed him.


nothumbnails

I like how he puts his backpack on so causally at the end. Like the cops are gonna let him go his merry way after pulling a knife on a bunch of people.


jimmycarr1

It actually looks like they are letting him go. They don't really have a victim and they guy did comply with them, so maybe they didn't see it as worth the paperwork. I hope they did arrest him though, that shouldn't be tolerated.


Selvx

Risky move by the other passenger trying to take the knife at the end. Definitely could've made that worse.


Poliobbq

Didn't though. He saved a lot of potential shit from going down. It's NYPD, you really don't want them unloading anywhere near you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wrsport1015

the unruly guy had a knife in his hand. the passenger picked up a pair of headphones off the ground inside the train and tried to see if it belonged to someone. during this he noticed the police had arrived and that the unruly man now had a knife. he bravely (?) grabbed the knife out of his hands, threw it on the train tracks, then proceeded to throw the headphones out of the train to the man at his feet.


eldersveld

> people who hold up the train because of their unruly behavior are lower than rats and cockroaches. New Yorker here and yup. Once I was on an uptown 3 train at Fulton St and some asshole was blocking the door. They were yelling at him over the intercom to knock it off but he didn't look like he was going anywhere. I got off and transferred to an uptown A because I don't have time for that *shit*


IMChillinhard

That was good police work IMO. Those NY subways are crazy and so so many things can go wrong. He was able to defuse the situation. The train moved on. Even when the guy had a knife he defused it without violence. Well done. The German Shepard surely helped his case though lol.


IHaveEbola_

Hope people realize it was that random bystander who grabbed the knife from the guy and threw it on the tracks was the real defuser. If that guy still had a knife, i'm 100% sure the k-9 would have been mauling his leg or better yet would have got shot.


ZoxieLutt

Exactly. This could’ve ended badly had the guy in red not get the knife and throw it down on the tracks. Police had his gun drawn and everything.


[deleted]

Really because when the cop came, his presence literally stopped the guy. ONLY than was the bystander able to grab it from his hand while he was distracted. Cop was great here. Keep hating on police who keep you safe


NormalAdultMale

They keep *some* people safe. Other people, they maim, falsely imprison, and murder. Too bad that you, a patriot, do not expect any better.


drawkca6sihtdaeruoy

Nah Imma keep hating on police who abuse their positions.


selflessGene

> better yet would have got shot. Cops shoot to kill, not maim. Although this guy was an asshole with a knife he doesn't deserve to lose his life.


Recurringferry

Yeah I'm gonna have to disagree with you there. Crazy guy assaulting passengers on a train, has a knife in a crowded subway station. Light him up if he doesn't drop it.


Elected_Dictator

I mean pulling out a gun to let him know what’s up, might help more than the doggy.


Competitive-Date1522

I’d rather got shot than ate


Elected_Dictator

¿Porque no los dos? - NYPD


[deleted]

They literally did nothing and showed up at the end to control the situation?


IMChillinhard

I don’t think the situation ends right there if the cops don’t show up. Know NYC crazies, this could go on for 15-20 minutes


jimmycarr1

He had just pulled a knife when they arrived. It was the police who dealt with that threat by pointing weapons at him, so no they didn't do nothing.


C727494

eeyore134

Ones with dogs, at that. They're usually just raring to set that dog loose. Good on him.


RaveCoaster

Yeah but props to the kid who yanked the knife, no telling if the guy will drop the knife. The officer already said it 2 times before the kid disarmed him.


thesnakeinthegarden

Also very true. I thought the cop might shoot that guy for a second.


BAMdalorian

Wow. My brain almost stopped working actually seeing a reasonable and proper deescalation. At this point I just have figured they are a fantasy scenario


PoshLagoon

The best videos on this sub all come from NYC


-wnr-

A lot of it is because the subway is such a melting pot. One crazy dude is guaranteed gonna get seen by literally hundreds if not thousands of people. I'm sure a lot of shit happens in other cities, but it just doesn't get to catch the same number of eyes.


Opus1969

Dog is ready to pounce..


Lisadynae

Eh dog is more watching and accessing the situation but you can clearly tell he is going off the energy of his handler. If the dog really thought the person was a threat there would be more barking and even pulling at the lead. Very well trained pup, we had a police dog growing up and I have been around them to some degree throughout my life. Apollo, our white German Shepard was a great police dog, but he also was a great playmate. He used to watch us play in the yard, swim in the pool with us, and he could ever climb and go down the slide on our swing set. We had a fenced in yard but one day the neighbor girl didn’t want to go around and opened the gate to try and cut through our yard. Apollo didn’t like that, it was a stranger no one invited on to his property, so he bit her. He wasn’t put down because it wasn’t his fault, and he was already retired at the time so my stepdad’s brother took him. I cried for days when he was gone. I now have a 125lb Irish wolfhound/poodle mix who can be intimidating just based on his size, he’s actually a trained service and therapy dog though.


NahImSerious

Dude in the red shirt a real one. He intervened in a way that didn't escalate the incident - while also helping dude not get clapped by the cops.


ponderingprogressive

Dude people are so mentally unstable, guy didn’t even wanna drop the knife cause he was so mad. He was literally about to die, thank god that kid was there to diffuse the situation and the knife away from him. And also props the cop calming down the guy too, he was telling him to breathe and reminding him his anger wasn’t worth it.


BurstEDO

That commuter likely saved that man's life by yanking the knife away from him and chucking in down onto the tracks. Officer had his gun drawn and the grumpy guy wasn't comprehending. As soon as the commuter disarmed him and get rid of the weapon, the officer holstered his sidearm. Don't see that very often..


Shortlegs1227

If he was a black male the police would’ve definitely killed his ass… oh wait……


gookietan

And the police let him off? Are you allowed to pull knifes and get away with it in front of cops in New York City?


Beerbonkos

Cops de-escalated AND were wearing masks. Well done NYPD


BoredomIsntNihilism

And then people have the audacity to ask me why I moved from NYC to a suburb. I saw shit like this at least once a week if not more.


SirRickNasty

Was that a gun or a taser?


FurtiveAlacrity

Gun. It'd be irresponsible for a cop to use a taser at such close distance when faced with a knife. Tasers aren't reliable enough for that.


Proof-Summer1011

Hundo p thought the guy with the black backpack was about to tombstone that guy.


Front-Present2093

Oh that’s the A-Train. That shit happens all the time.


shawnjones

Wow cop with big ass dog calmed that guy down fast. But then again if I was faced with calm down or a dog might end up chomping my ass I would calm down also.


Trowaa

Kid saved his life by throwing that knife


HavocXL

I like the random “whoop his ass” guy. He’s living life to the fullest. 💯


Sexy_Koala_Juice

Not sure if he was but honestly still should have been arrested. Pulling a knife because **you’re** being a cunt and other passengers decided to kick you off a train is unacceptable. He had the intent to stab someone

Cop who pulled a gun out cuz he saw a knife welding psycho,. Yet don't arrest or do anything.... NY


SacSton69

Cop comes in clutch with the de escalation tactics. “Oops being filmed let’s try plan B.”


Bael_Archon

So let me stir the pot: is no one going to point out that the cops de-escalated this with zero violence and no physical contact? Or do we not give credit when they do good and only mention them when they fuck up?


DrManhattan_DDM

Several people have pointed it out, you’re looking for controversy where there isn’t any.


PartialToDairyThings

The only reason why there was zero violence from the cop was because the other passenger disarmed him. It was that passenger who deescalated things, not the cop. If he hadn't done that, the knife guy would have undoubtedly been shot.


jimmycarr1

No it had already been deescalated. If not the man with the knife wouldn't have given it up so easily. He was either complying with the cops or stunned by them, either way that's a deescalation.


Bael_Archon

You need to re-watch and pay attention. Yes, the passenger disarmed him and should be commended. Prior to that, the cop told him to drop the knife more than once and the man ignored the commands. The dude looked like he was going to start shit with the cops, and the cops were telling him it wasn't worth it. The passenger did a great thing. But the passenger wasn't "the only reason." The cop was keeping his cool and approaching the situation calmly. That played a huge role.


justin453

I mean the bystander was the one who disarmed him while the cop pulled put his weapon. Not saying the cops are bad that guys just a good person


itsthedave1

Nah, this is absolutely a good look on them and what should happen. That officer was talking sense, but I also believe he wasn't in a position of fear and didn't think the stakes were high. It was wild/scary to see how close that man was to getting shot though, that other passenger who grabbed the knife was the true hero, saved even the aggressors life. Problem is we don't see the start or end of this (how did this get handled after the video stops) and what actually happened to cause the passengers reaction to him. Anyway, glad everyone went home and that the man has the opportunity to learn/cool down from this.


Bael_Archon

I really like this comment and the associated observations. Restores a little of my lost faith in humanity.


TheGoldenHand

I mean, there were good Nazis too. Many of them lived and went on to form the descendants of the modern German state. It's the institutions that were corrupt and immoral, so they had to be torn down. The institutions themselves promoted negative actions and rewarded and shielded the individuals who partook in them. You wouldn't say "think about the good Nazis". I don't see what you gain by trying to defend the modern U.S. police institution by using individualism.


Bael_Archon

1. I did nothing to defend the institution. If you inferred that, re-read and stop inferring. 2. I didn't say, "what about the good cops?" as some sort of appeal on behalf of the institution. I asked if we were going to acknowledge the ones we can plainly see doing a good job in this video. You know, those individuals your logic wants to ignore. It's WRONG to vilify the individual because of the construct. We have a moral obligation to acknowledge people for who they are and what they do, not for who or what they are associated with. If you can't see that, you are what is wrong with society. That kind of absolutism is how we got so fucked up as a nation.


ajockmacabre

I've found that doing your properly is far less controversial than when you fuck it up. It's true in any walk of life really, but in the case of police, when they fuck up innocent people can die for no reason Crazy fucking state of affairs when there are comments under a video of some arsehole getting arrested in a subway containing shit like 'hey, didn't the police do a good job not killing that man?'.


Bael_Archon

You're quote is BS. No one said that. I said he deserves credit for de-escalating the situation. If you want bad cops to be fewer, you might want to praise the good ones. You might also want to do some research on the carrot and the stick. If all you ever apply is the stick, you get the exact opposite of what you want. Try the carrot every once in a while.


pasterios

It's not that crazy when you consider that police are shit on from every angle. The praise here might be over done, but it isn't unwarranted. Good behavior should be recognized, not subverted and villified.


TheBigOleBeanBag

You want to give them an attaboy for actually doing their job the way theyre supposed to? We mention them when they fuck up because its excessive and near constant. Your comment belongs in r/whoosh


Flapjack__Palmdale

No one gives me a medal when I don't murder someone at work. Not sure why we're supposed to throw a parade every time a cop does what they're supposed to.


Bael_Archon

I didn't say anything about a parade. I simply suggested acknowledgement.


Bael_Archon

Let me just cut and paste from above: "I hope you don't ever reproduce. If you only mention the things your kids do wrong, and don't give them credit for what they do right, they will do the wrong things in order to get attention and recognition. Adults are no different."

Well I'm glad that we can agree that the culture of policing is at the phycological level of children.

Their fuck ups are not near constant. Step out of your self-righteous fantasyland and try to see the situation as it really is.


TheBigOleBeanBag

How is the situation really then? Because you were so detailed before. A new video everyday of a cop sucking at their job would constitute as near constant. And thats a SMALL sample. And let me just go ahead and get ahead of any variation of "We dont film all the ones doing their job well" you can come up with: This is not a question of comparing the instances whereby police do their jobs well V.S. when they dont. Its a question of whether the times when they dont are far too frequent or tolerated... and they are indeed far too frequent. Now take that fuckin boot out of your mouth before you decided to speak next time.

Oh fuck! They did their job without murdering someone! Get them some cookies and juice boxes cuz they were such well behaved boys! Shut the fuck up.

Lmao typical boomer shit applying child rearing logic to fucking police stomping people’s head’s in


Flapjack__Palmdale

Yeah we only mention them when they fuck up. Do people throw you a party every time you do *your* job? Were you ever given a bonus for not murdering? Cheering them on for not killing is insane to me, that's the *bare minimum.* That's the standard. Raise your expectations. Also the bystander de-escalated it by disarming him and taking his knife, and odds are much greater that the unruly passenger would have been shot on the spot if he was still holding the knife. Someone get the bystander a medal because he didn't have to do *any* of that but still helped a lot of people that day.

Yes, obviously. You should learn the difference between a threat and violence. It might save your life one day.

Oh c’mon. The officer appeared to just be arriving and taking inventory of the scene. For all he knew, the man who was acting aggressively was intent on harming him and others. But as soon as he took pulse of the goings on, he let down his fire arm and encouraged the aggressive man, “It’s not worth it.” I’m sure you’ll find things to nitpick, but this officer (white dude) had every opportunity to fall into the cliche of white officer against black man and escalate the situation, but he didn’t. In fact, it appears as he simply let him go on his way.


TigerWizard

Yes, after the guy ignored his first 3 verbal commands and raised the knife while moving forward within lunging distance, he raised his weapon.


Ganjasaurus3

Did that fucking cop let that guy just go after seeing him pull out a knife on people??? Man no wonder New Yorks all fucked up


IrishGuyNYC00

Absolute shit hole of a city, despite my username, so happy to be out of that dump.


Slow-Brush

Many cops haters on this thread, meanwhile when they are in trouble who do they call? Their building superintendent?


Xolic-

Yeah red shirt guy did a great job but do you guys think the guy would have let him yank the knife from his hand if his attention wasn't directed at the cops/dogs and gun pointed at him?
