Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - The Oklahoma Police Department released body-camera footage of an officer-involved shooting that happened on December 8, 2021. Police said Officer Andrew Ash responded to a disturbance call at an apartment complex in the 6300 block of NW 63rd Street just after 8 p.m. Upon arrival, police said Officer Ash came into contact with suspect, 40-year-old Antwon Hill in a breezeway at the complex. Not long after, police said Hill reached into his pocket and then pointed a pistol at Officer Ash. At that point, police said Officer Ash discharged his weapon at Hill. Police said Hill then fled into an apartment and later surrendered to officers after an hours-long standoff. Hill was not injured. He was booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on multiple charges. Officer Ash has been placed on routine administrative leave.

He waited way to long, that was insane
too much
Welp, with the BLM stuff, i dont blame cops that hesitate on pulling a gun on them now a days
Officers gun should of been out when the dude started reaching! This is either poor training or he is cared because of the current political climate of black vs white bs
too
It’s gonna lead to a lot of cops getting killed/wounded. It’s sad the social engineering that’s causing it.
This officer is lucky to be alive.
He should of won a Darwin award. I guess God does really protect fools 🤷♂️
Yeah this is so scary 😳
This is what BLM wants Police to do. Wait until the Officer is already in danger or killed before attempting to react/fire back insane !
@@revamp8835 Bullshit. A cop not pulling his gun and shooting someone that has a gun out and points it at him is just stupid has nothing to do with BLM. No way would he have been at fault with that footage.
@@QuicksandontheTrail A shame god does not exist due no evidence, it's just Darwinism at work.
This has to be the worst judgment I've ever seen in an officer.
Liberalism
@@terrybangley2281 the cop was actually too conservative in his actions....he should have taken liberal use of his firearm earlier.....know your words.
@@terrybangley2281nah he being conservative asf
@@RichardCrewsHe means that it’s liberalism that causes officers to act this way.
@@BobBob-eh5sb I thought so as well, but it is stupidity either way. Cultural warfare is destroying American's ability to think clearly on any subject with integrity - everything is political and nothing can be interpreted through the instrument of rational thought. I.E. This was a clear case of a LEO being threatened directly with a weapon and with time to reason through the threat. That is it. The officer needs more training and the department should conduct a hot wash of the incident, investigate why and how decision were made on the part of the officer, and then see what changes if any need to be made or if any parts need to be amended.
In these channels you will get a lot of hyper-political individuals invested in culture war issues instead of making intelligent and rational comments. Some of them are hysterical keyboard karens. Some of them are not even real people, but foreign bots generating dissent from overseas as part of a info-war campaign (if this sounds paranoid, well, it is accepted by intelligence analysts that we are beyond the cusp of a cyber campaign from foreign adversaries - note the sharp rise in service denial and cyber hacking incidents generated from NK, Russia, and China which are only the tip of what is happening outside mainstream notice).
What's really disturbing is that the cop even had a second chance to pull his gun on the suspect after he backed away and took some cover behind the stairs. But then he let the perp walk right up on him again without pulling out his gun and taking control. Scary. I bet the other cops will never trust this cop again.
I bet he has quit already. Giving up your firearm like that is a disgrace.

@@MrItaliano1900si ci sono persone con l'anima, e poco cervello...😮
Yet, this is what the public wants. People now, want police to not pull out their guns when they have guns pointed at them.
This is the state of policing right now. Cops held at gun point? Asking a criminal to please stop? What the holy hell.
Blame BLM
@@johno6366 No, blame this clueless officer that nearly got himself shot.
Officer Ash needs to find a new line of work.
@@darkdodger137 Probably, but it’s still a valid point. Every cop in this country knows that they will be publicly crucified and demonized by the world when they use deadly force against a POC. Society doesn’t care to wait for the facts of the case, they will immediately jump to the conclusion that it is yet another racially motivated state sanctioned murder by police of a poor innocent minority. No cop wants to be put in that position
@@darkdodger137 Haters
I'm all in favor of law enforcement attempting to de-escalate a situation, but this is ridiculous!
He could have know this man from previous encounters. It’s hard to judge a 1:35 second video.
@@pedro67999 Hard to judge sure but all I can say is this officer almost lost his life tonight for someone worth less than lint all because he was scared if he shot a black man his life is over.
They need to retrain this man immediately.
Dudes needs to quit or get fired before he ends up getting himself killed
Yup when he was in cover he should have just unloaded on his face
This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "suicide by cop." This cop almost committed suicide.
And then his family members are still gonna freak out and raise hell and swear he didn't do anything 🙄
"He didn't even shoot the officer though! My precious baby got killed for no reason!"
Gramma, auntie, mama cry… “He’s a good boy, he done nuthin wrong. The po po didn’t have to shoot him.”
Imagine being so in fear of prosecution from protecting yourself that you have to stare down the barely of a gun and ask to not be shot
Blame BLM
Right? I believe that's why he didn't draw his gun for so long. It's sad that cops have to be afraid to lose their job or be charged with murder to the point where they hesitate to draw their gun and shoot
Totally agree. It's how that 22 year old Phoenix cop died on tuesday.. ..well he's critical but you don't come back from being shot 8 times....once into the brain.
Bull-fucking-shit excuse. This cop was not afraid of being prosecuted, he was poorly trained and froze in the situation. He literally said "please don't shoot". Every reasonable person knows he had PC to shoot that guy for a long time. The cop simply froze out of fear, he was not prepared for that.
He was not afraid of that
As a retired police officer, I have never seen anything like this! The officer observed the suspect's firearm, and never unholstered his weapon; until the very end of the encounter. He is blessed to be alive...

What the HECK IS WRONG WITH THIS OFFICER??? HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE LACK OF OFFICER SAFETY TRAINING!!!!!
Well if he shot the guy you would probably say he should have tased him
If the cop did shoot him you would say "another untrained cop kills an innocent black scholar"
What's horrible is, your use of all CAPS
He won't hurt black superman.
He was terrified of the consequences. There's a percentage of the population who will automatically throw a police shooting of a black man into the unjustified murder box and make him out to be an evil racist.
Why on Earth was this suspect allowed to draw a weapon? Any cop worth his salt would have terminated this threat instantaneously
You know exactly why. He was terrified of the aftermath of him having to shoot a black suspect. There are people out there who do not care about facts and will automatically call a shooting of a black American as unjustified and murder.
I feel for the law enforcement community in 2021. The pressure is unreal. Having said that.... This was the perfect example of what NOT to do.
I'm actually.super glad they aren't.shooting immediately. This is Normal in every other country.

@@alexandercameron645 this officer had every right to shoot this guy, he hesitated because people like you want the criminals to win. Thanks buddy
Never seen a cop wait this long. Never have I thought I’d say a cop waited too long but I understand why he would do it initially. This is just terrifying.
And to think people want this to be the norm.
Most times the decision to shoot is a split second one... but he saw the gun first, it was pointed at him... he backed up behind cover. As soon as that hand came out of the coat he should have fired. This cop is very lucky he did not take a round from a crackhead to the noggin.
He feared for his job over fearing for his life because the fukkking fragile left in America thinks criminals have more rights and deserve more leniency than everyone else.

“You’re a rookie.” Understatement of the millenium.
Never have I witnessed such a display of courage, skill, nerve, grace and... stupidity.
Cop didn't want to shoot a black dude and get thrown under the bus.
Everyone is spitting on the officer, but you know, with blm and all that stuff it's tougher than ever to be a cop in 2021.
A cop who values life and doesn't want to kill a person - yea, how "stupid"
Yes mostly STUPIDLY!!!
First knight, great movie!
This officer seems like a good person. I hope he finds another career as this could have ended very very badly
Yup... this video should have been about a minute shorter. As soon as the perp pulled that gun, it should have resulted in a mag dump. He gave that guy WAY too many chances.
This is the reality here in Brazil, our police officers are shot first and without the right to fight back because of human rights (brothers' rights) they prefer to defend the marginal.
Well, apparently this is what society wants now
He didn't want to go to jail.
People complain when police are too quick to the trigger, and people complain when they’re too slow to the trigger. Guess they can’t really win
that creep getting closer is scary
That cop was not trained enough to be out on the streets.
The training might be garbage now. GIGO.
Officer Ash needs to find a new line of work
the guy should actually become a social worker or something cause we know he really cares for people
at that point though, it was too much, taking this level of risk is unacceptable
The problem is that if they kill the suspect will get BLM protesting that they killed him.
@@jgaa989 so lose your life over it? Yeah no
Doubly agreed. He'll get himself, a partner or innocent people killed with the mindset he has.
When did they teach begging and pleading as a line of defense… Desk job incoming
A person brandishes a gun to a policeman and he keeps his gun HOLSTERED and BEGGING for the suspect not to shoot... This is INSANELY STRESSFUL to watch. Our values are upside down!
At the 0:35 mark the cop is unholstering his gun when he says "OK put it on the ground" you can hear the clicking of the holster, and his shadow looks like he is taking it out. He just holds it down by his leg the whole time. He never draws on him, which he should have done
Thanks the anti "Human Lives matter" group and the anti police left including the r*cist media. That POS should of been mag-dumped
Ya it was like the guy is robbing him
We all seen how Derek Chauvin was thrown under the bus after trying to detain a man who died of a fentanyl overdose. I think this policeman probably had that in the back of his mind.
Your values are upside down when stupid officers were shooting many innocent.
I would’ve put that criminal into the shadow realm
This entire situation was ridiculous. I hope that Officer Ash has learned from this.
And resigned immediately….?
@@dangallagher5058Well… no. Officer Ash can definitely learn from this. More training, and he’ll be alright.
Plus, he ended up showing that certain minorities are not victims.
BRO IF YOU CANT SEE HIS HANDS PLEASE DRAW YOUR GUN! I much rather see on the news that an officer drew his gun on a suspect then to see an officer down. Thank God you are okay
Poor cop is afraid to draw because BLM will get his ass canned and ruin his life.
@Tokonone it’s sad because the same exact thing literally happened a couple days ago to a police officer in Phoenix he asked the guy if he had a gun and the suspect ended up shooting the officer nine times. The officer is on life-support right now. And he was fresh out of the Academy.
It wouldn't say that on the news it would say "RAYCIST PIG DRAWS GUN ON SWEET INNOCENT YOUNG BOY"
That was a early Christmas present to the officer. Yikes.
@@kimsgrim8451 BLM ain't got nothing to do with it 😂 you think he's thinking about that with a gun in his face
Been a cop for 7 years. Completely understand the officer backing off and going back behind the corner when he first saw the gun but the fact he didn’t then deploy his firearm and actually let the guy walk back up to him just tells me this may not be the career for him anymore. He’s honestly lucky he’s alive. I don’t care if he’s a nice officer or knows the guy from prior encounters and even possibly had a rapport with him (mental health or not) - he literally almost died because he failed to act and at least get more distance and disengage before the guy approached him. I get it some officers are quick to shoot and others take more time to use force but he literally almost signed his own death certificate. If you’re that scared of being crucified that you’re willing to do what this officer did, it’s time to find another line of work.
Exactly
Wrong time for de-escalation I agree
I have been a cop for 23 years and I agree with you.
10000000000%Correct
This is what happens when you defund the police and no one wants to be an officer, its like San Francisco, they signed 100 million bill to be defunded by police department , but now the mayor is crying about car break ins and etc.
Like what did you think was going to happen???
he really yelled "why'd you do that"...these people literally can't think
Wow what poor judgment. He let a man with a gun walk right up on him.
The events in this Nation over the last two years have led to this shit right here!
Officers hesitating and pausing in life and death situations like this one right here because they are so in fear of being charged or being the cause of riots and destruction in their cities that they make HORRIBLE decisions like this one to not act accordingly when they need to.
He’s lucky to be alive.
Watching america is like watching the fall of Rome....but with Wi-Fi. Lol, you people are so screwed.
We all know what we want to say, but we cant say it
As long as we can mentally agree a certain group of people are tearing this entire country apart
disgusting
@@bobby2pistolz854 you’re so goddam right mate
Yea the democrats
Trust me that ain't the reason why that cop was a p*ssy and he would have done it whether there were protests or not. You're aware police departments do hire p*ssies sometimes, right?
This is absurd: the cop is more worried about the backlash from shooting a particular type of person than he is about be shot himself. This cannot be the way of things. It must not be.
Well said. What has our society come to when cops can’t justifiably defend themselves, without being damned if they do?!?
Well this is the result of "civil rights"
Lol it is. Enjoy the show!
No the officer understood the suspect wasn’t mentally there ..tf you talking about 🤨
How do you know that's what he's worried about, like that specific...did the officer say that, did he make a public statement? Wtf is wrong with you weirdos man. Maybe he knew the guy and just simply couldn't find the willpower to get around that corner, unholseter and handle his business before dude ever got to point it at him. Seriously wtf makes you think it had anything to do with his race? Y'all are fucking weird man.
That oficer's stupidity and lack of training almost cost him his life.
The suspect even called him You are a rookie.....what you gonna do? I agree with many of the comments on here. Hopefully that officer found another job. That would have been a justified shoot for sure! He is very lucky to be alive.
I have no idea how that officer survived that. He definitely should find a different career.
He survived because that crook wasnt as wicked. he lucky he wasnt a cold blooded killer. He had a lot of opportunity to shoot the cop. he didnt even shoot when the cop drew his weapon
All police should find different careers. Maybe thank Lebron”they hunting us everyday” James and not the officer.
@@Will-xl7xp The guy was clearly high as a kite. it doesn't take much pressure at all to squeeze the trigger. Drugs put people in a different mindset and even if the perp was all talk he could have easily and accidently shot the cop in the face.
Maybe bad boy no ammo?
@Edwards Lmfaooooooo 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that the officer waited so long is something else
Lebron”they hunting us everyday” James says he didn’t wait long enough and is racist.
His body language actually made a chill go down my spine.
As soon as someone starts reaching in their pocket, you draw your gun. This cop is very lucky to be alive bc he just let that guy take out a gun and aim it at him and all he did was hide behind a wall and say “please stop” 🤦♂️
He called him a rookie, and I think he might be right. What cop waits that long to eliminate a threat?
CMON MAN HE WAS AN ANGEL OF PEACE
Found a pdf from a police meeting in Enid, OK from 2017 that includes Officer Ash. He's been an officer for at least 4 years. I think his hesitation is the result of not wanting to be the next on trial or harassed police officer.
@@-imperatorinsomnia-6163 F that, the dude pulled out his gun and threatened him, the cop had justification to drop him.
@@ThatDoesntWorkForMeBrother having a gun pointed at you and having your life verbally threatened won't stop the liberal lynch mob from coming after him for shooting a criminal, look at the Kyle Rittenhouse case.
I think the cop was trying to avoid shooting a special needs individual. Happy he made it through.
WHY DID HE NOT DRAW HIS GUN WHEN HE BACKED OFF AND TOOK COVER BEHIND THE WALL, IT WAS LITERALLY A PERFECT CHANCE
Wtf is the officer doing? The suspect is even calling him out. You a rookie man 😂
It's incredible how they have their own unique ways of behaving.
WTF? Let him get that close with a gun?
I didnt understand this situation either
HE WAS AN ANGEL OF PEACE LIKE GEORGE FLOYD
This was the most bizarre police encounter I've ever seen. The suspect already pulled out a gun, and the cop is still trying to calmly reason with the man. Not to mention how he didn't even try to distance himself. This cop is beyond lucky that he isn't dead right now. He should find a new line of work.
Beyond stupid
lol why? exactly this is the new way of doing things. Eversince few big news media demonize their actions and Rioters now want to harm them they ain't got many options to choose from as their every move is deemed wrong.
That's right. There's no problem with black police killing white people, but it's a big problem if white police kill black people.
Maybe he is a meter maid.
@@snowcow1173 i know but the news love to print or show misinformation to get people rilled up to riot the news media like CNN are supporting the riots without having any context to thier news what so ever.

Then the nightly news comes on and destroys it
First time in my life i heard the criminal yelling “drop the gun”, this officer is lucky to be alive, he seriously need to reconsider his career.
Being in law enforcement, this is a tough one for me to watch. This is unfortunately the outcome of the fear mongering our government has put into our policing system. An officer should never be afraid of the repercussions of protecting his own life due to the judgmental state of our society right now. I think that is exactly what happened. A “poorly trained” officer, or even a rookie officer would not have stayed so calm throughout the interaction.
Thanks for your service. You're absolutely correct and its devastating the judgment of people in your line of work are going through. Its just so sad the state of where our country is with law enforcement. This officer made many mistakes but I still feel sorry for him, that his reservations prevented him from taking action to preserve his own life. Glad he made it out of there.
Honestly this is what I don't understand about police, society, and the government in general. How can you guys (police) uphold an unjust system that lets criminals back in the streets, and continue to enforce questionable laws, while wondering why the pubic hates you. How can the government praise those who do wrong and give them more rights then citizens. And how can society not see the obvious division being caused by BLM, antifa, social media, etc. I just don't get it....
Mmmmm…..this was beyond the officer being afraid of scrutiny. This officer needs to find another profession. He’s lucky to be alive. Terrible police work.
Fkn right. This is fkn disgusting to have to watch. Anyone who cries about police and wants all the defunding bullshit needs to leave this country and go somewhere that better suits you. Anyone else with a brain needs to go watch Darion Jarret video. That one still gives me a sick feeling thinking about it. Tired of this lib bullshit.
@@CK61380 I take it you've been a cop before....? lol

That individual has no business whatsoever being a law enforcement officer!
I am a retired LEO. There is no way I would work with this officer. He displays poor judgement, he showed unwillingness to protect himself, and seems afraid of doing his job. How could I ever trust his judgement to protect my life, when he is unwilling or unable to use good judgement to protect his own.

This is why we need to stop polarizing issues. There is a middle ground that we can find. All cops that shoot someone aren't immediately criminals and monsters. Sometimes it is a necessary part of being our front line to criminals.
Agree.
Yes, we should let police officers and criminals duel to the death with blunderbusses as our founding fathers intended. I agree with Chris, instead of polarizing the middle ground with criminals and monsters, he needs to be in the front line.
Woah slow down there with all that common sense or BLM might come get you
Sometimes yes. But a lot of times no. Its the immediate go to when other options are still available. Here he would have been justified to shoot and didn't. I would have.
No that is not the issue here. The reason is because in Oklahoma City Oklahoma anyone can carry a gun you do not need a permit so just because that man had a gun in his hands it did not give the officer the right to pull his gun out first so the criminal had an upper hand. Good job Republicans keep putting guns in the hands of criminals
We need to appreciate that officers put their lives in danger in order to help keep places safe as possible
GET THAT OFFICER OUT OF THAT UNIFORM NOW!
There’s being prudent and then there’s reckless.
Naw he froze and didn't know what to do
He was just too scared, this is not the job for him
WTF was this rookie thinking. I can't even wrap my head around it.
He was thinking that his own district attorney was going to arrest him, which is a valid fear given how many times this has happened in the past 2 years, and he had walk the line until he almost lost his life. And sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they still filed charges against the officer. Fucking scumbag DAs cause this shit
He was thinking if he defended himself he would be slammed in court and called racist. And the scumbags of blm would start burning the country down again and get away with it like the idiots have in the passed
So how hard is it to at least shoot the suspect in the leg while the cop was around the corner?? I dont get it either..
@@ghostfrieza2904 I don't understand why everyone always suggests shooting the suspect in the leg, most people aren't that accurate and also the leg contains a huge artery that could result in his death eitherway. Tbh, a gut shot would be better than leg shot and when he was around the corner the cop 100% should've drawn. It was his opportunity to and get the guy on the ground or start shooting him, eitherway the second he pulled his gun out and refused to put it down, that should've been enough.
Also, if he had shot the suspect we both know that BLM would've still found a way to make it a "RACE" thing... literally i don't understand how people support BLM they literally advertise their goals and say they want to dismantle the government and basically uplift the black community at the cost of other communities... doesn't seem they want equality, they want a role reversal.
@@ghostfrieza2904 obviously you haven't taken a conceal carry course... say someone breaks into your house. Threatening you and your family with a gun. Are you going to shoot them in the leg??

Repercussions or not, you should never feel compelled to leave your life in the hands of a criminal who won't think twice about killing you and won't feel any remorse in doing so. Governmental figureheads who condone those kind of procedures are nothing short of corrupt, and they should be overthrown and severely punished for reckless endangerment of all their police officers and humanitarian betrayal. This shouldn't and mustn't be an acceptable form of policing in our modern civilized societies.
He didn’t want to get railroaded by the media and the corrupt court system if he shot that future brain surgeon
Did you even watch the video? The suspect had ample opportunity to shoot the officer but "Thought Twice" and didn't shoot the officer. Had the officer reacted the way you perceive is correct there would be a dead person. You would be wrong in killing the suspect.
@@AnonemesisRecords well considering the suspect said "imma shoot your bitch ass" the officer woulda been in the right to shoot him the whole time (he may been trying deescalation but it just puts the upper hand in the suspect favor imo if your alone) Not to mention the suspect (after the officer backed off) put the gun back in his pocket. To me if someone has a possible gun in there pocket after they have already shown they are armed, they are going to try and ambush me if they approach. Which the suspect technically did in this circumstance is try and execute a ambush. Why the suspect didn't fire his weapon is quite puzzling but my guess is he wanted to do a execution style shooting after some humiliation or some such to that officer. (Cartels kinda do that before they cut rival members heads or limbs off)
I watched security footage of a robbery in Lousiania where a old lady in her late 60's to early 70's was working front desk at a motel, suspect comes in and draws his weapon and lets her know she is being robbed. The footage then cuts to the suspect with a bag with the money inside and the suspect then shoots her 3 times in her chest even tho she complied the whole time from the CCTV footage perspective. There is also home security footage of neighbors arguing and one neighbor decides to go get a pistol and shoots both of his neighbors, the armed neighbor then returns with a rifle and executes his fellow neighbors wife after he yells in her face "you just shoulda shut your f*cking mouth" or something close to that.
Evil people do weird shit in situations where life and death hangs in the balance.
@@AnonemesisRecords this is possibly the most ignorant and idiotic take I have ever heard. Officers shouldn't have to take a gamble on whether or not the piece of trash in front of them with a gun pointing at them will kill them or not. Once that guy even motioned the gun anywhere towards the cop he shoulda had a clip unloaded into him by the cop.
@@AnonemesisRecords you’re ignorant, and I don’t mean that in any offense matter. You’re just ignorant to the law and policing. As a police officer I will tell you right now, no person life comes before your own. As soon as that guy displayed the gun, the officer should have drawn his firearm. Once that guy attempted to point his gun at the officer, he should have been dead. Learn to not sympathize with criminals
He waited WAYYYYYY to long to get the drop. I am missing something, but I have never seen a BWC video of a shooting on this channel where the cop lets himself get in to so much danger. that sounded like a damn negotiation with the cop at gunpoint, shit was so scary.
That was intense. Multiple opportunities to get a sight picture and start issuing commands.
A squirrelly-a** dude pulls a gun on you, and you're not going to get your gun out EVEN AFTER YOU MIRACULOUSLY WERE ABLE TO RETREAT TO COVER!? That was nuts.
@@shaunn7778 Exactly, get to cover, pull firearm, call for backup, if he walks around the corner then fire....
Blame BLM
I wonder if the guy was right and he is a rookie cop. I'm ex-army and I can tell you from my training when you are truly scared your brain can just switch off. If your training is good and extensive, your autopilot responses kick in and can make the right calls, but if not then it's very easy to just freeze up.
@@steelybojangles These were my thoughts. He just froze.
got shot, kept approaching the suspect so that he wouldnt run away and injure others. true hero.
PTSD confirmed 100 %.
With all due respect, this man has no business being a police officer.
@@pj4433 100 percent
No excuse not to shoot as soon as he knew it was a gun the guy was handling in his pocket. Prob be justified firing before honestly, but most def once it was already brandished, very odd cop didnt shoot.
As a mil cop, no you need to actively see a firearm or weapon in the hands of a person before you can shoot. And that person needs to display: intent, capability, and opportunity. So you can’t shoot someone with their hand in their pocket until you see them pulling.
With all due respect in this day and age where Police are being considered guilty and racist by the politicians and public and BLM how tf do you expect a officer not to hesitate out of fear of going to prison.
Lebron James would be calling for this officer to be charged lmao
I understand that this is an extremely terrifying situation to be in but we can use this as a learning tool
As soon as the officer knew the suspect was armed he should have backed up as he did, but instead of putting his hand up he should have pulled his gun and held the suspect at gunpoint. You don't surrender to the suspect, that's how you get shot.
he probably wouldn’t have enough time to pull it out cause the suspect could have easily noticed and shot
@@moony8793 he had all day when he got around the corner.
@@SheetMan He was a rookie, I'm sure he knows now.
The perp could’ve shot that officer early on when he had his right hand inside hos right pocket just like Jesse Pinkman did in ElCamino 😬
just happy this situation didnt lead to the officers death or an innocent bystander. Scared policing will get good guys killed.
That has to be the worst policing that I have ever seen. He has no business being a cop.
In today's PC environment the police are handcuffed from proper policing. It's almost as is if they need to be fired upon before they can use lethal force.
Guess getting home alive was a secondary thought to the officer. Unbelievable.
I can’t believe I just saw a cop fail so miserably to the point where he actually put his hands and said “don’t shoot”. I am beside myself that we live in a world where this happened
It's all because of the BLM organization.
@@denwe6869 BLM is trash.
Because cops are wound so tight these days by democrats they are fuked either way.
One word, Democraps
@@denwe6869 has nothing to do with blm your just racist
Love how the suspect went from “Please sir” to “Imma shoot you”…. People wonder why cops don’t just say “Okay” when someone asks them to stop
That was just part of his act once he saw a weakness and knew how to manipulate the officer.
Cannot believe what I have just seen, after watching thousands of police videos in the last 20 years I have never seen such a bizarre, messed up approach. First letting the guy reach into his pocket and turn to obstruct the officer's view without drawing his weapon...once the gun is out I kind of understand his attempt to talk his way out of it, reaching at that point would not be good...but to succesfully back away to cover and let the guy come back to him STILL WITHOUT DRAWING HIS WEAPON!! I don't understand what went through his head. Maybe another career would be best.
This is why people must understand that not every situation can be de-escalate especially when there's a gun involved. The cop was calm but could have lost his life trying to de-escalate things. That's why i never mind cops opening fire on suspects as soon as they brandish a gun.
Underrated comment I believe if u pull a weapon on anyone for no good reason then u have it coming this officer is lucky to be alive
Is there a better term for brandish? It's less when they show that they have a gun and more so when they point the gun directly at bystanders or police
Agree....
@@Fix44 nah if you show and reach its fair game
you're a sociopath
That cop needs to find a new profession. He's lucky his stupid hesitation didn't cost him his life. I wouldn't want to be one of his fellow officers in the field with him. Actions like that not only put himself in danger but his fellow officers as well. I think that cop watches too many cop shows where the cop puts his gun away while having a gun pointed at them.
He also hesitated big time even after he shot. Only shot once and even that one missed. What if the suspect had not ran away but actually returned fire? This cop should get off the street because this is just end of watch case waiting to happen unfortunately.
This officer wont be around for long if this is how he deals with deadly threats.
When the fear of being prosecuted is greater than the fear of being killed. This cannot stand.
This is the political climate we find ourselves in today. A cop can have a gun brandished directly at him, and feels it necessary to stay holstered until the last minute. This was insanely stressful to watch. I understand there's a lot of stuff the cop needs to assess while a situation escalates, but damn this was bad. Thank God he's alive.
He didn’t want there to be another BLM riot with bleeding heart Liberals and Democrat politicians going after him calling him a White supremacist…etc
You are the definition of the political climate lmao. Do you think this cop was thinking about black lives matter protests? Incredible stupidity on display by you and the people who are liking this.
Exactly correct. Officer is scared to shoot after the weapon pointed at him multiple times because the perp is black. Didn't even kill the guy either.
Thank sky wizard!
That’s what you got from it? It looks more like a scared rookie who waited way to long to the properly react. Or may it what is because Mars is in retrograde, or little green aliens, etc….
Did he learn anything in training? I’m absolutely speechless
Training and actually experiencing it are two different things.
I'm sure he doesn't want to kill the guy if at all possible. But yes, in that case his life was in danger.
More afraid of the consequences of defending himself.
This is one incident in which the cop had ALL THE REASONS IN THE WORLD to take this guy down early. Not sure why he waited until he was staring down the barrel of a gun.
"You a rookie, you a rookie, you a rookie."
When even Antwon can tell you're a rookie, it's time to go back to basic recruit training.
Wow this is what not to do if your a cop. SMH
Well he's a cop and he did it...
*you're

Blame BLM
He turned himself into the victim when he should be protector
Some people just shouldn’t put themselves in these types of situations. There are plenty of other people in this world that officer could have met that he wouldn’t have walked away from. Why the officer didn’t have his own weapon out the moment he got some distance and cover off that brick wall is beyond me.
You cannot be too nice in this profession, the dude was mocking him, " you rookie, you rookie". Please resign...
I served in the Army for 8 years and had been deployed twice. When I tell you this officer is lucky, please believe me. There’s not too many people that can survive a close encounter with a suspect wielding a firearm. Especially if you don’t deploy your firearm first.
Amen to that brother. Welcome Home.
Lucky ass cop. Saw the weapon, backed up around the corner of the apartments and loss LOS. That was the perfect time for him to draw his weapon as he had cover, but didn't and almost ended up 6 feet under. Hope he played the lotto that night.
He is too much afraid of BLM rules. So sad!!☹️
Exactly what I said the same thing he hit the corner I definitely would lit him up off the rip 💯
@@mmk1756 its a dangerous job, they knew what they signed up for. If you shoot literally everyone you encounter like cops do nowadays, its a 0 risk profession. I risked my life more delivering pizzas.
But yes, he def should have shot the guy earlier here, not defending that absurdity.
