This officer from New Mexico had literally a split second to act when a suspicious person call turned into a shots fired call. He did pretty excellently in the fight! How much do you train movement when close to a threat?

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.
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.
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).
Love this channel, great upload! Thanks!
What happened to the gunman? Was he hit? was he killed?
Great video. The cop did everything correctly and remains calm while putting out his traffic.
What gun is that? I know its a Glock but G17 or G22?
Ever so calmly: shots fired😒
Me: lmao 😂
This is a great video ! ! !
Ford does provide armored panels as an option in the doors of new police cars, it is possible that the suv has these
Actually there is armor plating in police cruiser doors. I think it can only stop pistol rounds though, not too sure.
Yes dealing with the unpredictable is why i have such respect for officer's and there bravery.
So you're just suppose to be billy bad ass with a pistol I'm assuming?
he should learn how to grip a gun, good work nonetheless
So what happened to the fuckin' dickhead in the car?

Actual quote from officer during this situation:
"I remember my first gunfight"

Probably first Brazilian cop that's not off duty…
Did he forget to chamber a round after that proactive reload?
That was a good job officer kept his cool the entire time.
2:30, his left was the "right" choice, I see what you did there.
You dont see this in the news smh media controlling the masses by injecting fear on ppl at its finest
Cool officer, that could be a training video.
John I love this channel always learning from it. Thanks and keep up the great work.
punish bat input relief mission taste french parent hope talk.
A tactical reload would've been perfect but that Officer did one hellavu great job. Monday morning QB aside.
He should of used his baton or taser . ***sarcasm ***
Amazing how calm he stays. Totally professional.
"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….
Did he shoot him in the face? Damn
