Well all I know for certain is I wouldn't pick an airsoft gun if I thought the FBI was after me.

mixup98 says:

No question about it…..Mossberg 590 loaded with buckshot.

Spencer Heffelfinger says:

The first officer using the glass door as cover… Are they bulletproof?

Thomas Romundstad says:

Why didnt the police officer just move in fast and disarm him? typical uneducated american police

christian elgin says:

I knew it long before they shot him…. He just needed a hug and someone to talk to.. he's been through so much. I would have calmly walked towards him putting my weapon away and calmly walk up to him and slowly and give him a hug..

Bobby Rogers says:

$Billions$ of MH/Treatment $ is being used to help people in need today. Having been around 1,000s of people in need, performing CPR personally on them as Narcan is being used $$$ iss not helping them. If they don't turn to the Lord or they don't turn to loving their OWN children/family right how can $$$ help the majority of them, it don't. THEY hurt sooo many children and innocent people. I've experienced 1000s of mothers and their own children trying to love them, and THEY don't take responsibility to love back. The world is in a mess because we don't love our own right or they don't love back right. $$$ is not working.

Eric Weeden says:

That distance shotgun was a good choice.

STRIX says:

Cops should be allowed to use tranquilizer Guns in these types of situations 🙄

lefroy1 says:

That hurt buddy?
Yeah.

Sean (HM) Vermaak says:

6:30
"the badge and that is just a Symbol of Society, of Power, of Problems,
of daddy issues
😂😂 where did that go?

Noneof Yourbuisness says:

Notes or lines he was suppose to scream . Who knows now a days.

Sean Kennedy says:

What is that grip??

Preston Hamm says:

To take a shot with that back ground was so risky with officers in the cross fire

LEFT LANE BANDIT says:

Classic suicide mission.

FlipFlopAnonymous says:

They actually don't have a duty to defend the community. That is a flat out lie. Case law exists showing that police have zero legal obligation to help, defend, or protect citizens.

Tim Robinson says:

Drop it be'fo I drop you homeboy

Liz says:

When he said, "drop the gun or you're going to get dropped" 😆😂

Mr Dextr0se says:

It's a mild case of covid? No covid case is mild. Just cause you're not sick or feeling the symptoms doesn't mean it couldn't be deadly to someone else with a weak immune system. Stupid comment.. Typical republican.. 👎

Frank P says:

John has contracted the world’s most deadliest virus and he’s still making videos,

BuddhaBelly says:

Drop the gun it doesn't have to go this way!……..Oh yes it does!

Halo Hunter says:

Why couldn't the shotgun officer have a bean bag gun? While the other officers keep their lives ammo.

Tekkno says:

Is this the same station where a cop was beat up ?!!

Mike S says:

Nice to see you almost well John. Hope your recovery is swify and complete.

I agree that the shotgun is a fantastic choice, and that any quality long gun would have done the job well too. I don't think the officers were in very grave danger, but the perp's bullets could have gone anywhere. A great job despite some verbal limitations. It's sad about the mental health issue. Why must the cops get dumped with this?

This one shot thing reminds me of the special French police who trained obsessively (never to miss) with their virtually indestructible MR73 (357 magnum) revolvers.

Anonymous Lee says:

Pistol is on my person around the house (long guns are a pain in the butt to lug around while doing housekeeping chores,) Shotgun is at my desk or my side of the bed when it's not in the safe (when I'm out,) carbine is at my wife's side of the bed when it's not in the safe (when she's out.)

I Want Lee says:

Isnt this an old one? I think I saw this badge cam footage many months ago.

Edit: it was more than 4 months ago. 2021-03-23.

Neur0bit says:

Perhaps it was the camera angle, but the officer with the handgun seemed to be flagging the officer in front with the shotgun. In this case they should have been touching shoulder to shoulder to prevent a blue-on-blue situation. That was way too close for comfort in my opinion.

Brad Richards says:

Looks like an attempted suicide by police.

Joe R says:

In this situation with LEOs on both sides I would choose a shotgun just for the less likelihood of over penitration & the officer that took the shot was the only one I could see had a relatively safe backstop from his angle. If the scenario was different & it was a guaranteed safe backstop I would choose a carbine with a scope for a shot guaranteed to immediately stop that threat.
