RESPONSE: Firefighter Shoots Neighbor in Self-Defense

On June 27th, 59-year-old Jeffrey Weigle got into an argument with 49-year-old Dean Keller, an Indianapolis Firefighter. The two men are neighbors and have had a long running dispute with each other. On this day, it was over a fence and while Weigle was yelling and insulting Keller’s wife he decided walking (or in this case riding) away wasn’t good enough. He returned and it escalated quickly… Just got me to thinking about some points to consider about self-defense whether you’re a firefighter, a welder or a stay at home mom. Thanks as always guys!! For the 500 or so people that saw the first version, I made a mistake and the video was cut off half way through. My bad..weird..first mistake I’ve EVER made in my life 🙂 —– PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/mikethecop INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/mike_thecop FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/realmikethecop SNAP: mike_thecop1 —– INTRO MUSIC: “Wolfhunter” by Forensic.

I disagree about practicing under stress. First of all, you could shoot yourself. Secondly, muscle memory doesn't require mental stress.

TheyCallMeJon says:

can you link the original?

Kyle Johnson says:

Why isn't anyone talking about how that guy literally just stood up after being shot that many times lol

curtisls00 says:

Wow, all those rounds at that range and the guy still walks away. Was he even hit?

Connor Rains says:

Only in Indiana.

Triggered Fox says:

How do you only have 60k subs!?! You deserve more. Love your Vids! Keep up the good work. 😎👉

Ryan Small says:

Cops are gonna be in high speed chases with lawnmowers now

Roger Caruthers says:

There are two lessons here. 1.) lock up your gun! This old guy was renting a room from the property owner and used her gun she didnt know he had! 2) this one is for the firefighter, learn to aim come on man!!! Just the gunfire made it seem like he was in indianapolis not Johnson county south of Indy!

TheEVilleKid says:

i saw the first time cuz i was watching for a gun. if it had been anything but a gun i wouldnt have seen it.

Jared McHugh says:

The other day in Fort Wayne, IN; I saw a cop car with your blue line American flag on his car. It made me proud.

Mike I see you have Minecraft on your computer
Are you telling me to carry my brothers Mosin Nagant (we live together) even if I'm too young
Also is it illegal to threaten to kill someone because someone did that to me

john jackson says:

Mike the shot heard after the guys on the ground do you think it was from the firefighter or the guy on the ground? There was shots far apart once he was on the ground and it sounds like it was the guy on the ground firing pack

Kyle Fogle says:

funny story: firefighter saves cops from stuck elevator

Sovereign Rose says:

Well, there was one time I almost hit a rattle snake with a push mower, but he never drew a revolver on me, nor did I him. Few disgruntled swearing from both parties, then settled with a peaceful resolution.

Briton Kraemer says:

Some gangsta rap music video should have lawnmower drive-by's

That would be hilarious!!

Tanner Giddens says:

So be honest, those firefighter pictures were already on your computer…

Charles Abbott says:

Lawnmower story: As one drives through Aberdeen, MD, home of Cal Ripkin, on Route 40, you will see a family that gets around town on their lawn mowers… too many DUIs to have a license.

a great channel for examples and what to train for:
Active Self Protection

Matthew Galmish says:

Man I love Mike the Cop, not in that weird way though. Great humor, and jokes when appropriate. What would we do without People like mike? I don't even want to think of a world without Mike the Cop's.

William Hightower says:

Man I love your level headed explanation of everything and how you can always tie it into other situations as a learning moment. Keep up the good work man both on YouTube and in the field and stay safe.

Trollin Hillbilly01 says:

I live in Missouri and we have permitless carry laws. From an officer'a perspective, what do you think about people carrying permitless? I've been planning on getting my carry license however it's going to be a little bit before I can get it, recommendations?

wardy mann says:

so some said the guy on the mower guy fired the first shot did anyone else see that

Kyle Hastings says:

I laughed far to hard at 5:47

Pat Mack says:

@2:00 very confused boner….

boll tanzy says:

Hi Mike, great vid. FYI, in Chicago we are getting a lot of drive by shooting on bicycles. Any perspective on that?

BrianLeeUSA73 says:

4 Shots in the chest and the old guy still walked away but he is in critical condition now.

therealxunil2 says:

As I understand from my Michigan CPL class, if the guy shows off his weapon as he drives by, that would be brandishing, no? If you have that on video you have evidence for a charge don't you?

Pedro Bear says:

I saw the old man try to reach in to his pocket
