Beth Anderson says:

What happened to the gunman? Was he hit? was he killed?

G Castillo says:

Great video. The cop did everything correctly and remains calm while putting out his traffic.

Raymond Denno says:

What gun is that? I know its a Glock but G17 or G22?

KV YT says:

Ever so calmly: shots fired😒
Me: lmao 😂

Andrew Lines says:

This is a great video ! ! !

Squeaky Squak says:

Ford does provide armored panels as an option in the doors of new police cars, it is possible that the suv has these

Tactical_Banana says:

Actually there is armor plating in police cruiser doors. I think it can only stop pistol rounds though, not too sure.

Rick Ahrens says:

Yes dealing with the unpredictable is why i have such respect for officer's and there bravery.

European shepherd named Washington says:

So you're just suppose to be billy bad ass with a pistol I'm assuming?

Gack Grobel says:

he should learn how to grip a gun, good work nonetheless

worryphree says:

So what happened to the fuckin' dickhead in the car?

Strider says:

Given the circumstance, adrenaline, and oh s**t factor here, the Officer did VERY well. Some minor errors that would be an issue on the square range but bottom line here is that he got the job done. This was a total "new undies" thing.

Charles Donohoe says:

Actual quote from officer during this situation:

"I remember my first gunfight"

Pop pop pop pop…….*cricket *cricket

Xequit10 Gaming says:

That cop was really fast to react. It is nice to see cops are still Carrying M&Ps instead of Glocks. Personally in my opinion, M&Ps are better duty guns than glocks. Better sights, better grip, he had an i would say ok grip, its not the best nor the worst.

Following Finnegan says:

Actually the door was likely more than just visual concealment. Many departments now outfit their vehicles with driver side door armor (rather minimal, but plenty enough for a handgun and certainly better than nothing).

AJHD says:

Probably first Brazilian cop that's not off duty…

Michael Johnson says:

Did he forget to chamber a round after that proactive reload?

NewMexicoRanger says:

That was a good job officer kept his cool the entire time.

Richard Landers says:

2:30, his left was the "right" choice, I see what you did there.

jorge landeros says:

You dont see this in the news smh media controlling the masses by injecting fear on ppl at its finest

glock2312 says:

Cool officer, that could be a training video.

cool nights says:

John I love this channel always learning from it. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Enzo Picard says:

punish bat input relief mission taste french parent hope talk.

Whitesp44 says:

A tactical reload would've been perfect but that Officer did one hellavu great job. Monday morning QB aside.

successful01 says:

He should of used his baton or taser . ***sarcasm ***

Curtis Clark says:

Amazing how calm he stays. Totally professional.

Rasmus Wolf says:

"Ohh i cant hear shit, lets turn the volume up to 100% with my powerbeats on ib the bus"

Felt like i got shot in my hear, when the officer were shooting….

Trevor Awesomness says:

Did he shoot him in the face? Damn
