Retention Holster Probably Saved Officer's Life

[Flopsweat]

In the bodycam footage you can see the perp get his hands on the gun before the cop can cover it. He practically lifts him off the ground trying to pull the gun out of the holster. He's very determined, but apparently not very good with holsters.

Brutal, that cop #2 pulled scumbag out and drilled him point blank.

I would never OC w/o a retention holster. Cop #1 needs to work on his holster retention technique.

 

[Howard1955]

That big fairy was determined to kill that cop.

 

[ilostmypswrd]

Well that ended well.

 

[Longwalkhome]

Good shoot.

 

[titsonritz]

Well that ended well.

Yep happy ending all important people concerned.

He really does. You can see the perp lean around and look for his holster while the cop is looking the other way and talking on the radio. Yikes. To be fair, I wouldn't take that job at all, let alone be good at it.

So your partner opens fire from 20 yards directly at you with a McD's as the backstop while you are fighting someone for your gun. What could go wrong? There was another recent event where a guy was fighting the officers and went for a gun with the fight ending from a single shot to the head to the bad guy from a distance of about 1 foot...much safer. Well, not for the attempted murderer.

The initial officer:

Trying to handcuff alone
From the front
While exposing his gun

Then never really fights the guy who is trying to kill him; it was more like a negotiation. Pull your pen out of your pocket (if you can't reach your knife or back up gun and stab him in the hand, eye, whatever. My word, something had changed from my era in law enforcement. When someone tried to take your gun, you didn't plead with them that you were not going to shoot them. "Sir, get off my gun," or "You're not going to jail alright?" politely spoken to the guy trying to kill you would not have been verbalized. You would likely have heard screaming from a suspect yelling, "Get your thumb out of my eye!," or "Make the dog stop biting me!"

Video #2 tonight that I'm pretty critical of officers. Don't post any more for a while, okay???

Don't worry about him, he's dead. Lol poetic justice.

I know, I couldn't believe that, WTF?

He needs to take lessons from this guy...

He was on the ball. That was nuts.

I'm pretty sure the cop in the OP would have been dead if presented with the same situation.

The guy in your video had his hand on his gun before the nutjob managed to get his door open.

It is called "situational awareness".

That is astounding! All of it. From the cop not really putting up much of a fight, to his fellow officer mag dumping from that range with a McDonalds in the backstop and nobody...including the officer...got shot except the bad dude, to the final shots on the bad guy...oh..and Donut adding in the McDonald's characters to the shootout sequence is just hilarious.

I am entertained! But my god what a cluster that was. Glad the cop is alive and nobody beside the bad guy got hurt. But that should be a training video for all new cops to watch.

McDonalds parking lots are notorious on his channel because they did a story about a bad shoot in one. A very funny spoof of the incident starts at the beginning. The actual story starts at 4 minutes in and it's pretty bad:

This is why I make my own hamburgers.

 

[Member 53328]

Well someone shouldn't be in that profession…..

Complacent, timid, zero command presence, situationally unaware, handcuffing from the front….

Is he gunna tuck him in for bed too?

 

[nammac]

He was on the ball. That was nuts.

22 year veteran of the force, he's most likely seen most of it, but certainly not all. That's a classic example of situational awareness. Good guys all got to go home to their families.
