Long Beach, California - On May 30, 2023, at approximately 11:56 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Livingston Drive and Park Avenue regarding a report of a stabbing. Police Dispatch received numerous calls for service, with calling parties describing a male adult suspect, armed with a knife, actively assaulting and stabbing people. Officers arrived within five minutes of the initial call for service. Upon arrival, they located the suspect, identified as 31-year-old Mario Najara. Najara was armed with a screwdriver. Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation; however, Najara began walking away from them. Officers continued to talk with Najara in an attempt to get him to drop the weapon, however, he then attempted to enter a residential property, at which point the officer-involved shooting occurred. Najara sustained a gunshot wound to the upper body. Officers rendered medical aid until the arrival of the Long Beach Fire Department, who transported Najara to a local hospital in stable condition.
The preliminary investigation indicates Najara was involved in three separate incidents prior to officers’ arrival.
- Najara physically assaulted a female adult and a male adult victim in the area of Park Avenue and Livingston Drive. Both victims were treated at the scene by Long Beach Fire for lacerations.
- Najara continued walking into Livingston Park and approached a male adult victim holding a child. The suspect assaulted the adult causing the adult and child to both fall to the ground. While the adult victim was on the ground, Najara stabbed him multiple times in the lower body. Both the adult and child were treated at the scene by Long Beach Fire.
- Najara continued walking towards 2nd Street where he encountered an additional male adult victim. He stabbed the victim in the upper body. This victim was transported to a local hospital by Long Beach Fire for a non-life-threatening injury.
Officers later learned the suspect was armed with a screwdriver; it was recovered at the scene of the officer-involved shooting. Najara has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury, and one count each of attempted murder, robbery and resisting, delaying or obstructing a peace officer. Bail has been set at $1,000,000. The stabbing victims, meanwhile, all sustained non-life-threatening injures.

I saw a crazy guy stabbing people in canada once and can relate to the terrifying screams of get the police here NOW.
@@98f5 yeah I was stabbed by a crazy guy and collapsed my lung. Welcome to America
its amazing that no matter how high or mentally ill they are they seem to cooperate after being shot
Nah, he was never cooperating
He was neutralized, you bloodthirsty Amerimutt.
Their body's survival instinct immediately overrides the selfish little fantasy world they have constructed. The subconscious basically says "ENOUGH! You just got us shot playing your little kid games, you stupid, useless idiot. I am taking over immediately."
not all of them
Not always
Those two shots took all the bad ass shits talking right out of him.
He really wanted it too, well he got it, but now he's a Burden on the Taxpayers.

It takes a special kind of evil to stab a random grandfather holding a child
not evil, just mental illness
honestly the fact that this dude had stabbed people and wasn't stopping should be enough. invading a private residence is more than enough to put him down.
I dunno about that one what if it was an accident wrong building etc happens all the time
That woman that called 911 did a pretty good job of giving the location and describing the situation
While breastfeeding. She would be a better cop than a few we see on these videos.
... and the dispatcher didn't tell her to shut up so he could ask if it's sunny or cloudy over there.
And the dispatcher did a great job of letting her talk and give info instead of interrupting her every 3 seconds with rudeness and stupid questions.
@@MrWhitelightning73 Yeah! And she probably eats pizza on Tuesdays!
What the hell are you talking about!?

Commifornia….land of fruits and nuts. Their rigging of elections have consequences. This type of behavior is laughable and expected.
4:37 When the shots are fired you can faintly hear a screaming woman in the background. She truly never fails us.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Women:_”Ahhhhhhhh”_ (thanks for the compliment)
💯
screaming women are all in the home office to be on hand in case of occasion
Yup. Some libtard.
There are people walking around without their full mental capacities. You as a person need to always be aware of your surroundings. And if you have small children be aware of who and what is close to them.
It sounds like common sense, but it is not.
A thank you to these officers for their professional work. We appreciate you much more than you realize.
Ask Tina Fey about this. It's how she got her scar. Just some rando dude with a razor blade in his hand.
It's common sense. Especially when you're in metropolitan areas.
... and why isn't this information common sense?
Exactly. I've seen videos of people crossing crosswalks who get run over because they think just because it's illegal to drive through a crosswalk when pedestrians are crossing that they're suddenly immune to getting run over. Never have I crossed a crosswalk without looking, but many do. Too many people are just clueless.
Especially in the streets and at the park
It sadly takes just one moment eventually
Shout out to the 911 caller. She did a great job corresponding with the operator
Screw the mental health line. Doesn't matter. You hurt innocent people you lose.
That mentality will really help lower crime levels.🙄
You just had to use the word “screw” when he’s using a screwdriver
What will yours do?😅
Amen and people claiming 'its stigma BIBOLAR ...BLAAH blaah' STFU for them! Psychiatric is such an Pseudoscience industry's Big pharma racket! They now let the nit the original ltqtbt++++++ but now everyone is healthy lol When its profiting or hurting Pseudoscience dangerous DSM 5 diagnoses there have atleast 5 for everyone if your breathing so! Let's call how it is and just Like you said you DO THIS , K SLNT GIVE A F***!! What you have or Whack psychotropic toxina u take you have no Right to hurt ANYONE innocent!!

PEACE ✌️🕊️ and Amen sister/ brother.🙏🏽🙏🤕😐🍀
@skankhunt3624 That mentality you have is the reason why California is the way its been.
Why anybody would want to be a cop in California is beyond me.
I was surprised to find out the other day that they allow people who are here with Visas and green cards to become cops in California. That's crazy to me.
Good pay and benefits. Unlike some red states that underfund their police, Los Angeles and California do not
Probably cuz it's the only way to get a staccato pistol 😅
@@astrowuffor maybe crime is not that high in those red states.
When I used to volunteer with the police, rumor is that you get on the force and do a few years in a busy, bad city like LA/Long Beach and then you can move to a quieter city like in Ventura county or Orange County and you get paid a whole lot with great benefits to police a quiet, safe city.
A dear, close friend of mine was stabbed and killed with a screwdriver. Thankfully the police took this idiot down.
warm and fuzzy everytime a hate crime is stopped.
Who said anything about a hate crime he was stabbing everybody.
All crimes are hate
@user-eq3qk7vv9hc Stealing an apple is hate?
No. It's just theft.
Was about to go into someone's house. The officers protected the inhabitants and served their community. Well done.
Agreed, was looking for this comment. They shot him as he was entering their property. I like the call.
good opportunities to end it sooner weren't taken, he shouldn't have been allowed to walk away to the risk of more people for that long
He was trying to walk away from the cops! He went towards the backyard not in the house. Also there is no reason ever someone armed with a screwdriver should be shot!
@@draynged7869 "there is no reason ever someone armed with a screwdriver should be shot!" He's holding a screwdriver to your child's throat. Can they shoot him then? Is your brain on?
Well he stabbed someone so that’s different then someone just holding a screw driver
Taking out his problems on other people is cowardly.
Interesting take. Especially when it's applied to socialism and social justice activism.
That's an oxymoron
@@lkae4what the fuck are you talking about, it’s not rocket science. He took out his problems on other people in a cowardly way.
@@samsonsoturian6013 Not at all. If he wanted 'it' that bad, he should have manned up and done it himself. But that takes courage...
Not really tbh, people suck.
The first cop carries a 1911. Respect.
Springfield TRP Long Beach Operator
Could be a 2011 L.A. cops do carry those.
dude went from a dangerous monster to a kitten after two bullets
First officer should have never allowed him to walk through that first gate toward other people.
The California legislature has enacted laws that cops must try to make an honest attempt to de-escalate every situation BEFORE using deadly force as last result. If the cops didn't, they can be prosecuted. See California Senate Bill 230.
See California bullshit Bill 230
@@larryjsmith2767 Okay, but the point of the comment is, that's DUMB.
@@larryjsmith2767 Which has nothing to do with the point of the officer should not have let him get close to people. Bad training

That lady who called described the situation so perfect
I loved her detailed analysis of her breast feeding. I'm glad she spent all that time talking how she was breastfeeding.
hhhhmmmmmm............not sure if she could've shortened her information? Perfect? LOL :)??
“Detailed analysis” aka stating she is breast feast twice💀
Yeah she's cool. Painted quite a visual. And while milking too lol 😆 Hope all the victims recovered
She forgot to mention that he's a turd.
Except for the height she said he was 5’9”! He looked about 5’2”!🤷🏻♀️
bro really said 'u dont got balls shoot me'
The dispatcher is like, boring, what’s for lunch…. should I go get a coffee…….
They're supposed to be calm and collected in order to not induce more stress on the caller.
Damn, he survived 😞
I couldn't agree more.
Thats the real crime
😂 ikr the devil is pissed too he’s like damn I wanted him. 👿👿
Any consolation in the fact that he wanted to die; so his surviving is probably more of a punishment to him than the alternative?
@Dudlife1 thank you at least that's a positive 😂
How is it even possible that the justice system offers this guy bail? He clearly has shown he is a threat to the public and should not ever be free to walk the streets again.
I'm pretty sure he can't put up the bail
It's a democrat state and liberals love criminals. You get what you voted for
He will be released in less than a year and will kill an innocent person.

Officer was way too calm, letting him walk up to people and cars after stabbing someone
Absolutely correct.
It's California. He was high.
Your absolutely right 100%
@@therealmrtwonuts The officer or the suspect?
you are right. he could easily killed someone right there
I can't even imagine looking after yourself, your baby, breastfeeding AND relaying perfect info on a phone call with the police. This mother is a hero of a woman. God bless you and your family dear
Calm down, I have two kids, breastfeeding a baby doesn’t exactly turn you into a distracted moron.
She sounded like a Police officer, or dispatcher, or someone who knew exactly what to say.
Why talk so much about the breast feeding......waste of time.........low IQ.........selfish, lack of wisdom. The milking could be talked about later
Agreed 500%
The dispatch had the nerve to ask if she wanted to leave her name and number. I release its protocol but read the room, dude.
That's response for 998 was insanely embarrassing
I hate it when you're on tenterhooks, and the video ends, and you are left wondering what happened.
Props to that caller, she was on point
Yeah i agree but people need to learn that saying get cops here now, now, now right now doesnt make them go faster. People in cali need to learn to fend for themselves an not wait for the state to do or give them everything.
Yes, clear and focused.
@@tacticooldude7509 She could've also cut out the breastfeeding? Or not?
@@tacticooldude7509 she was definitely emotional, but relayed all of the relevant facts to the dispatcher in a clear and timely manner. The begging for cops to come faster came from an instinct to want to help the victims but being helpless because she was with her baby. I think it was completely understandable

One hundred percent she is a PoliceActivity subscriber
and the dummy cops just watch this creature threaten and attack everyone JUST PUT IT OUT OR TAKE ITS KNEES DOWN ALREADY usa PDs are all pathetic
But failed to say he was black.
a smart person would calm tf down and not keep breast feeding. No point in letting emotions getting in the way and screaming all frantic. It does nothing.
@@kakashi_senseisan3931You could do better, we get it. Good for you.
They took WAAAAAAAY too long to drop that maniac.
i was hearing her frantic screams for help, and all i could think was "man, if only these people were allowed to carry something for their own protection instead of waiting for the police to show up minutes later while they're being stabbed to death"
When everything is done right, people will still complain, good job guys.
I am angry at this huge EXCREMENT how he stabbed that innocent guy without no fu**n reason in a coward way. Poor guy didn't know what hit him.
He stabbed multiple people.
He stabbed several people
He lived.
It's "Reefer Madness." Our parents warned us against drug legalization.
It’s in their blood they are the seed of Cain
These violent individuals have no place in society. It's a shame he made it. He'll go on to receive free health care, which we'll pay for, while the guy he stabbed will be left with a huge hospital bill.
You mean the THREE people he'd already stabbed? Lets hope the first three ambulances to arrive were used for his victims. I hope he was forced to wait there on the sidewalk until his victims were all safely at the hospital before any resources were wasted on treating him. That ought to be a law.
Sad , but true . They treat violent criminals better than law abiding citizens nowadays .
That's because Republicans have brainwashed everyday citizens into believing Universal Healthcare is a bad thing.
Thanks to the brain washed blue sheep with their bleeding hearts!
its true! criminals get chance after chance and regular people just have to accept it. unacceptable!!!
Is that a 1911 with a extended magazine? Instead of a Glock?
My applause. ❤
Two bullets and there was swift compliance. That's some learning
After stabbing 3 people you'd think that they'd have put him down a lot sooner than they did.

Amazing how quickly a bullet entering the body changes a person’s attitude real quick 😂
I'm noticing a trend people are only doing this where people aren't armed. this makes a great case for people to be allowed to carry a gun.

Just a side note. When you are calling 911, the calltaker is typing in all the information and forwarding it to the person who actually dispatches the calls so it may seem like they are delaying sending anyone while they are asking you questions but the reality is that units are being dispatched right away. If they ask you more questions, it's to get as much info as possible which is being updated to dispatch which in turn is being updated from dispatch to the officers while you are on the phone so don't get on the calltakers thinking that they are delaying sending officers because you think they are asking stupid questions, as I've seen with these other video's.
Underrated comment
Correct sir. A lot of people have no understanding of that. I am retired now from the FD side and our communications folks were awesome a very stressful position.
Why not tell the caller that they are sending someone right now, and that they were hoping to answer more questions once they are on the way. The caller wants to know they are responding right now, so why not communicate this in a few brief words?
Thanks I didn't know that
That caller woman cant control her emotions. Wouldnt wanna be near her in a dangerous situation
Love it when the call operator literally doesnt listen
I’m so thankful for these guys.
Wow the 911 caller did a amazing job at describing the situation and cutting the small talk
That is the least intimidating officer I’ve ever heard in my life
I understand we’re wanting to be cautious and exhaust all options before shooting someone who is not an imminent threat BUT… there were multiple threats to other people’s safety while he was casually strolling the streets with this guy. The moment he walks towards another public persons direction, should be all you need to eliminate this threat. He already randomly stabbed 3 people. Leaving him the opportunity to do it again while LE is trying to be diplomatic. He forfeited that right when he randomly stabbed innocent people IMO. 🤷🏼♂️
You are far less intimidating
I also don't see what would be wrong with the 1st officer shooting him every citizen in his path was a potential victim, but when they repeatedly said hit em with the 40 thought was a less legal munition or something, still kinda of do or did all the other cops have 9's and the one cop had a .40 so they waited for him to pop him, see no blood either had to be less lethal and was carried out flawlessly

I wonder if the officer was carrying that Springfield Armory "Long Beach Operator", a variant of the Loaded Operator.
Holy crap, people, learn how to make a coherent and helpful 911 call. This should be taught in every school across the country. Yelling at the dispatcher accomplishes nothing.
It's so pathetic when people like this destroy lives, act all tough and when they're caught they cry.
show me where he cried
I love that part too!
You don't see that part, when they send him to jail and inmates rip his asshole apart into a bloody loose mess. Infections of his rectum for the rest of his life and he will cry. Getting fucked in the asshole with no lube over and over for your life sounds like a good punishment for this animal. Don't you agree? @@lilaznballaz1022
He didn't cry. He was likely on a severe episode of stimulant psychosis.
Either way, good job by the officers.
Cowards will never show mercy.
First police officer needs to have done something immediately!!
In California part of the Use of Force scrutiny is, “ the officer action before, during and after the use of force. “ in this case, they will look at whether the officer asked for back up, whether there was a crime, and whether the officer deescalated. They will also look at whether the use of force was “ reasonably necessary”.
yeah exactly ,quit police
Thank you for your service 🙏
I've always thought in a high pressure situation, the dispatcher should start by saying ''units are dispatched to your location'' before asking questions, that way the caller would calm down and give information without panic, the caller is dealing with an extremely high stress situation and I think this one simple thing would give the responding units much more useful information.
You never know when a random stranger on the street turns out to be a psychopath.
Carry a firearm everywhere, and be aware of your surroundings. If I was at that park with my family that man would've never saw the cops and only would've stabbed the 1 or 2 ppl not the 3rd.
@@ScoobyDrewskiyes. If every adult is armed, parks will feel MUCH safer.
@@ARB826 the responsible ones
@@ScoobyDrewski no way to gauge that
@ARB826 your right. Just wish more adults where responsible
Why do dispatchers always seem to be inconvenienced by emergency calls?
It happens after getting inundated with bullshit calls. "I need an officer because my 6 year old is out of control" "dis n******a stole my crack rock" etc. Also when you have half a dozen people talking to you at the same time, while you are getting information, typing it out, radioing cops, etc. You get 600+ calls a shift; you have to quickly and accurately go from call to call. it's just stress that catches up to some dispatchers after a while, and not everyone is cut out for it.
@@ArshesNei8 this
Hardworking vs. an entitled bum.
OMG so many people are so oblivious to danger it's crazy. Even the guy that got hit practically ignored it at first. Drives me nuts.
this indecisiveness of officer 1 could cost the lives of several citizens.
Between the dispatcher, and the first responding officer, I can’t decide which one seemed less interested in someone actively stabbing multiple people.
Nobody...Nobody needs to carry a gun for self defense. Ever. Right???
teacher in my mental health class showed us a video similar to this and always emphasized to us "ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS"
I wonder how many of these people act this way because they believe the police won't shoot them.
They also watch TV and movies where gunshot wounds are portrayed as "it's okay, just a flesh wound" and think they'll be able to survive and sue.
All it takes is one to the cervical vertebrae and you'll be shitting in a bag for the rest of your life I wonder if any of these lunatics realize that.
These people are another protected class.
To answer your question... many!
He was almost lucky enough to just be shot with less lethal but having just stabbed multiple people and now entering a residence, lethal force is %100 justified. Amazing how quick he complied! Thank you Men in Blue!
That was the most California cop I have ever heard.
If a suspect has a weapon, in an instance such as this police can use live rounds or would they still need to use non lethal means like tazer or bean bag or rubber bullets?
Or does it just depend on the officer on the day, so it's a call an officer can make based on the situation?
its prob situational, my guess is the first cop we saw had lethal rounds on the dude because he was in immediate danger, the second cop that was there (the one with the bigger weapon) had probably non-lethal. i think because the suspect opened the gate and wanted to go inside the third cop shot because what if like a family was behind that gate orr anyone else. they wanted to use non-lethal but i guess they didnt really have an other choise
Imagine if the victims were able to exercise their 2nd amendment.
Exactly why you couldn't pay me to live in those liberal sh!tholes
They are ..STOP CRYING
Imagine that.....
wonder how things would be?
Peaceful? Clean? Safe?
Politicians cant have that for everyone, they might realize they are corrupt and evil
They can, none of them had firearms you dope
It is interesting that most people who carry already know how to avoid the sketchy people and places. This is one of the rarer cases where the perp is around normal people as opposed to criminals mostly hanging with (and shooting) their own kind.
Excellent job by the caller giving exacting info without dispatch having to take all day getting the basics from someone in a panic which she was not. Also this is getting ridiculous with police now afraid of stopping the threat immediately. He should not have been allowed to walk around corners like that. He could have stabbed someone or even carjacked.
That’s a Pacific Northwest thing tbh
Yep! And you stayed exactly what the reasoning is…police are afraid of repercussions. It’s pathetic they have to even consider that in a situation as this.
Public: "Cops shouldn't have shot him."
Public: "Cops should've shot him immediately."
Public: "Cops are too aggressive."
Public: "Cops weren't aggressive enough."
Cops: "Make up your f'n minds, people! Then whatever you come up with, stick to it and stop changing your mind after every f'n incident."
@@BS-dq1kz they should be afraid of acting like fools, but that comes with education and training and making sure you are hiring the right people too. Police should be able to articulate the reasons for their actions and they should be protected under the law to some extent, but there are plenty of officers that abuse that power all too willingly and they make it hard for officers like these here to do their job. All things considered, this man deserved what he got and will live to see a courtroom and with any luck, a long sentence in a jail cell for taking others lives as something he can just take away. Again great job officers and i hope everyone hurt by this moron are able to recover.
it felt like the first officer was just going to walk around following the guy calmly saying "stop it, drop the knife" for hours
The perpetrator just wanted the Big Mac really bad.
To all the police officers out there reading this. The people see you and apreciate your brave sacrifice. The decisions of politicians do not affect your honor. We stand with our officers because they are members of our community. God bless you all and may the Lord cover your heads on the day of battle. Amen.

@@madspy2462 Yes.
Allowing him to travel through the breezeway of the Wells Fargo building where he could’ve easily stabbed someone else is yet another example of how the current climate against police has resulted in greater public endangerment. The officer would’ve known shooting him was justified to protect the public, but he was too afraid of the loud mouths who don’t have a clue and, consequently, being vilified and possibly even charged criminally. You can’t really blame him, but I’m just darn glad no one else came around and that he decided not to stab the guy in the parking lot.
yeah i was scared because he let him have so much distance...
Agreed. While there's no way of knowing the officer's reasons, I always get anxious when a police officer, who has a gun themselves to instantly protect themselves if the criminal were to take 3 steps towards them, lets a criminal with a knife take a walk around the neighborhood, passing several civilians that could have easily gotten grabbed, making the officer losing any clear shot, while the civilian is getting stabbed.
I read about a case in the UK, where a criminal already had 9 undercover police officers following him around, because he was such a threat and they knew he was going to end up doing something, but had nothing in the law books, from a PC point of view, to do anything about it, till he had 30 seconds to stab two people before the undercover police all around him, had time to react and execute him on the spot.
That seems to be the new police culture nowadays, because defining someone as a "threat", if they're not seen actively committing violent crime on a (white) civilian, is offensive. As long as criminals don't threaten the state/police protection bubble and simply point their aggression away from the "monopoly on violence", police will have to follow criminals around, while they walk around the neighborhood with a knife, and wait for them to have their 30 seconds of violence on a civilian, and proof they are a possible threat to the bubble, before police action goes straight to execution. While of course they would have gotten deemed a threat if they had merely tweeted something offensive directed at the bubble.
That's the state of law in many parts of the US and Europa. If you're white, only way a "threat" will be deemed a "threat", and be dealt with as a "threat", is if it's recorded violence against you. Although, here in the Netherlands, a couple weeks ago, some "youngsters" beat up a guy and threw him on the train tracks, all on camera, and they simply said he tried kissing one of them, off camera, and they're all going to get away with it. Or how that nurse in New York couple weeks ago had her rented bike stolen and became the "threat". All because we all HAVE to believe those thugs aren't a "threat", in any way shape or form, till they commit recorded physical violence in an absolutely clear and shut 100% sure one sided case where they indeed were the suspect.
I agree with the sentiment, and I was thinking the same thing, but it's arguable that the officer didn't have enough info in this particular situation to make a judgement call like that at the time. However, I still think the officer could've done more
interesting viewpoint, not supported by the evidence in front of you. he didn't harm anyone else after the first officer was on scene. he was kept under control until more officers arrived. the danger to the public was managed clearly and effectively - nobody was harmed as a result of the police decisions and nobody died, including the idiot with the screwdriver.
@@cliveramsbotty6077 I disagree, there were several instances he could have take someone hostage or even jumped into someones car imo
Don't bring a screw driver to a 40mm rubber bullet fight.
They used lethal, not LTL.
Guy said shoot …. Bang bang and he was on hush 😂

Back the blue!!
It pisses me off how non-challantly the officer handled this. When a man is randomly stabbing people on the street you don't let him walk away from you potentially towards new victims, get him on the ground full of lead.
I say blame California politics.
He didn't attack a single person when they arrived...
The guy stayed in the way where civilians would be hit by crossfire, the house, towards the intersection of the street,etc. Like they were tryna make sure nobody was gonna be a casualty.
Like I remember hearing the instance where a man was acting crazy in a store and the police shot him and killed somebody's daughter through the wall in the changing room
Only cali makes officers have bullshit levels of patience.
Never show up to a gunfight with a screwdriver!
"Y'all ain't got the balls to shoot."
Clearly, that was not the case.
I'm tired of suspects presenting a clear and present danger to innocent civilians being handled by law enforcement officers in a humane manner. Trying to gently persuade someone to stop and drop a weapon while they are actively involved in committing an assault is ridiculous and unnecessarily places people in danger. We need to reverse this mindset in our law enforcement institutions and meet aggression with aggression. Act immediately and eliminate the threat! 😡
Yep ... that coward (though _kinda_ understandable in Commiefornia) let the violent criminal approach ANOTHER person (after 2:57 ), with the opportunity for ANOTHER notch on his criminal "belt", instead of putting him DOWN.
Exactly. I was literally yelling "shoot him!" It's frustrating to watch. He could've easily walked into the bank and stabbed more people smh
Absolutely agreed...he should have been engaged immediately by the first responding officer...
Officers are damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
California tells us that we're suppose to feel bad for these people
Really surprised that the suspect was allowed to get out of line of sight so many times. For all they knew, he could have had a gun on him as well
hopefully, next time, the criminal does... they will never let that happen again once they have experienced it.
Thought the same thing, and let him get way too close to other people.
Only with 5 cops with vests having guns pointed at him and the man shot on the ground were they brave enough to get close, why because they did assume he had a gun, they were scared and knew he could have walked by and stabbed/ took hostage anyone outside. The narrative is wrong cops didn't protect you, the 4 people stabbed here know like always they make a report after the fact, they are not heros, you are your own agent in your defense. Watch Uvalde were 40 pigs hid behind shields scared af while babies at school got their brains blown out decorating the walls.
EXACTLY! The cops did a BAD job, not a good one.
They did not "protect and serve", they protected THEMSELVES!
This is the real problem with our cops in America. We need police reform NOW!
For all of the things the officer did well, his one mistake was giving the guy too much of a lead/distance. At a couple of points the perp could have car jacked innocent vehicles.
I am so tired of these 911 operators that are like that.
Cop can't tell a knife from a screwdriver?
Sheesh this channel is doing wonders! Dropping videos like crazy! Keep up the awesome work!
The crime machine never rest, always producing new content.
It's not going to get any better anytime soon either.
The well can never dry because police kill ALOT of people everyday
95% of the dispatcher calls I've listened to on RUclips are sooo...I don't even know. This lady is literally losing her mind and the guy asks if she wants to leave her name. You are your own first responder, always remember that.
You want them to be just as emotional as the person the the emergency situation?
and thats how you clean up the streets good job officers
