I’m glad everyone can see what kind of a psychopath this guy is. He’s acting all innocent in court but in prison he attacks a guard for a situation he created.
I would imagine he's "acting all innocent" in court because it's a rare chance at visiting the outside world again, and seeing normal people. Even a violent inmate can suppress their emotions for a taste of a non-prison setting, even if only for a little while. Think about it. Any time they get to wear normal clothes and show up in court, it's almost like a mini vacation.
He hasn’t changed, he’s not sorry, he’s a monster. There is no excuse for what he’s done, and no adoption caused this. He deserves the full sentence of the law, he has NOT changed nor will he ever.
Look how compliant he is once he realised he lost the fight for the taser. This is pure psychopathy, he didn't attack in a fit of rage or mania, this was a calculated attack for the sake of violence, pure and simple.
It is utterly alarming that his lone officer had no backup! Like nobody appeared to help him. That is unacceptable. Actually getting tired of this circus.
@@brettstarks1846 That's **ALL** civil service jobs because the rich won't pay taxes, and expect those with barely enough to feed themselves support every and all services (police, fire, jail, prison, roads, ect) that the rich utilize without paying for.
Standard cell block. I ran cell blocks with up to 200 inmates at a time all by myself for 15 years. I would quickly identify the problems and the allies and if the problems acted up I had the control officer roll the cells of the allies (who did **NOT** want their cell block disrupted or locked down, impacting their 'business' interests) who would quickly quell the problem child. And if I couldn't roll the allies out, I dealt with Problem on my own - with extreme prejudice.
There's normally more guards spread out throughout prisons like this, it's usually one guard per block, and more at security stations, the lobby, walking around the facility, the cafeteria, etc. If the officer did radio for help 2-3 other guards likely would have showed up.
@@pandaman3367 ya, buddy system should be required, it is more than just worth it, it should be required. feels like for every tax dollar meant to fund necessary personnel , we see it going to ultimately line the pockets of politicians. seriously 2 should be required or more period when dealing with unstable people like prisoners. it is simply irresponsible to not have a buddy system in place for these facilities or hazardous environments. honestly it is straight negligent not to do so and anyone who is hurt because of this lack of oversight gets a huge early retirement and those of whom are responsible for the negligence are removed. it is not that much more cost for a much more safe environment.
@@Daytruin yeah, maximum security prisons do have buddy systems from what i've seen, but yeah, we could definitely use another guard or two in the cell block at all times
For anyone saying, “Oh I can’t imagine what’s going through his head” just know that he’s already been exposed for faking insanity during his interrogation. There’s a whole video breaking down his entire interrogation.
The close proximately of the single guard with a mass murderer is surprising. This a great risk to the guards safety and better safety protocols should be started. Either have two guards present or have that psycho exercise in a bigger cage by himself. This was a fight for his life, the guard showed way too much restraint.
It's amazing how long this one officer had to address the situation by himself with no backup. Absolutely atrocious that he had no backup. he is lucky he is alive
This guy doesn't get enough pay, that I'm sure. The sad fact is that in most scenarios, the violent prisoners far outnumber the guards, who literally put their lives on the line daily just to keep the prisoners from harming themselves or one another. Can't say enough about this man's bravery and professionalism. That's what you call manhandling the situation.
There is definitely people who are "supposed" to be watching the screens in the surveillance room. The c/o did handle it amazingly, he's very professional. He deserves a raise.
That is just how it is. He might not have pushed the emergency button in his radio in time. Even if you manage to hit the button it just depends how close another officer is to you. They could be there in 30 seconds or they could be there in 2 minutes. I was a correctional officer and it was a hard, and thankless job. I still have nightmares about some of the stuff I had to deal with inside the walls. All said and done he managed to survive and that is a win.
This kid is just sickening to watch. I can’t take it anymore and I cannot imagine how the families of the victims go through their days knowing he still walks the earth with absolutely no remorse. Disturbing.
Nicolas Cruz should be in an asylum for the criminally insane, not in a facility like this one. This young man was screwed up since his early childhood and is unable to function normally.
I wonder why they let a single security guard watching over a dangerous murderous criminal all by himself! Shouldn’t there be at least two guards watching over a dangerous criminal at all times whenever they are being let out of their cell?
@@grandwonder5858 Jails and prisons in general are dangerously understaffed. Most have over 100 long term vacancies at any point in time. I worked a level 5 state pen for a time. Some of our shifts overlooking 1100 inmates only had fewer than a dozen officers on duty. Mandatory overtime was insane to the point of turning all of us into semi awake zombies. On the worst nights a single dorm officer would also be the supervisor for an an entire side of the pound. We would have to go dorm to dorm doing security checks all shift long. When that happened we only enforced the most important rules while having to ignore everything else. The good news is that this little terrorist is going to an even worse camp than I worked in that is just as grossly understaffed. He isn’t going to survive long in a barely supervised gladiator camp.
The fact that he assaulted a prison guard and took this guards taser show how dangerous this guy truly is. He’s dangerous even in prison. When he was tased, this guy knew he lost. He fought the prison guard only to stand down when he lost that taser. Cowardly and pathetic.
Not uncommon. He was playing brinksmanship with the guard. He acted out up to the point that he would have gotten taze'd and then submitted. The guard would have gotten in trouble if he tase'd the inmate once he had submitted like that. It's all part of the game.
This officer did an outstanding job. It's not easy to try and reach for your radio or spray while fighting. I am surprised, from reading these comments, how many people are shocked and disappointed to see officers working alone- when this is very commonplace. This officer was professional and did a great job of getting a high stress situation under control. Nothing but respect from me for him.
@@kathenley2811 the officer never should’ve been sitting down in the first place. Those 2 seconds it took him to get up is a lot of time in a fight. All that could’ve been prevented
@@Jason-bc4qx respectfully, I disagree. If the officer was standing then would it be interpreted that he was in a confrontational stance? There is no way to predict how this could have been prevented. There is only the knowledge and training that these things happen. This officer was keeping an eye on him. The best way for this to have been made better is for better staffing procedures. By this officer testifying on this experience, he is trying to ensure there is documentation on the offender's behavior so that it will be easier to place certain in-custody restrictions on his free time in the future.
This officer is fighting for his life and no one noticed for all that time that seems like forever, until he had to subdue the madman by himself. WHY????
Severely understaffed due to low pay and situations like this where inmates are constantly plotting your demise. Some facilities are staffed at 1/3 of full staffing roster.
IKR? Guard is lucky it was weasely assed little Nicky. What if it had been an actual hardened con who knows how to and enjoys fighting? I imagine the guard figured he had little to fear from Cruz, but what if he had a weapon? He's kinda known for that....
@@psychedforlife7176 Thats BS , Cruz is an exception, they could easily have two Guards present for the small amount of time it takes for him to Exercise , he is then put back in his Cell.
Don’t forget we are talking about a child mass murder. This kind of person is capable of anything therefore there should’ve been multiple guards watching him or lock him down until you do. This kid is completely insane and one guard playing angry birds is watching him? Come on
A fine example of use of force. He escalated his force only when necessary and immediately reduced his force based on the aggressor's actions as he handcuffed Cruz. Notably, he didn't take any cheap shots after he was cuffed. Excellent training material for others around the country to see.

I am a retired correctional Lieutenant, you NEVER sit when an inmate is walking near you. You are at a disadvantage when attacked as shown in this video.
Glad you said that. Because that’s exactly what I was thinking. Why tf would you be sitting down when an inmate is pacing around you? You’re at a clear disadvantage if anything pops off. Typical lazy American cop.
Much respect to you and the others in your profession. The stress and physical demands are more than most people can handle. Every second of every day you have animals playing mind games with you and at any given moment anyone of the animals could try to end you. They don't pay you enough to do this important job that few can do and most don't want to. I worked with a guy who worked for 20 years in one of America's most dangerous pens. After the third time that he narrowly escaped with his |ife, he took early retirement. The many accounts of his career in the pen were shocking to many. His strong will and kindness were all that saved him.
I agree he should die but the death penalty system in this country wouldn’t do the situation justice. He’d likely be on death row for a long amount of time living off of taxpayer money and getting treated fairly well. I really wish people like this were taken care of with the cost of a box of .223
As a corrections officer for 13 years I can honestly say that both the way the officer conducted himself and the lack of response from there rest of the prison are both very very concerning.
@@alekhinesgun9997 his situational awareness is very poor. You should never be seated in close proximity to prisoners even if it’s just one. As soon as the prisoner stops walking everything about him screams assaultive behaviour (body language, stance, what he’s doing with his hands) yet the officer remains seated, he should have been on his feet instantly. During the fight he gets the prisoner on his back and has a clear opportunity to mount him but instead comes around the side which is an extremely weak position to try and hold someone from, it worked but purely by luck rather than good practice.
Such a waste of taxpayers money. If you know without doubt somebody committed a heinous crime like he did why go through trial and let somebody like this continue to waste oxygen and food? The fact that him living out the rest of his life in prison is on the table is disgusting to me.
Because there have been many cases where people "knew without a doubt" but were in fact wrong. He's a POS but the justice system is important regardless.
@@baxterandcotton That and the fact many of these killers want the death penalty because they know their life is effectively over. Personally I'd rather they were punished. People say the death penalty is a detrrent but then I wonder why countries with the death penalty like Russia and most of South America and Africa have the highest crime levels while countries with no death penalty like most of western and northern Europe has vey low crime levels. Anyone who goes on a mass shooting wants to die, they don't want to spend 60 years in prison.
Job well done??? Maybe for staying in a fight that could have been easily avoided and or stopped. a complete sitting duck...probably kept the same routine every shift....lack of manpower and burnout I am sure...but for the love to sit down and watch a murderer doing hot laps while you are completely shut off making yourself a sitting duck and easy target...just took him back to corrections training 101...he should be thankful he is okay, alive and no doubt his ego is bruised. Staffing wasnt even paying attention in the pods...completely unsafe and extreme lack of common sense...
He is responsible for 17 dead, it bothered him so much he went to McDonald's immediately after murdering 17. Life isnt going to change him ever. He will just continue
Your right this guy should be in solitary confinement only and should not be around other inmates he doesn't care if they have to kill him he will hurt someone no doubt
Nikolas Cruz has nothing to lose, that makes him ultra dangerous. There should never be just one guard with him and he should be put in solitary confinement while he's on trial. It's unbelievable that no one was alerted to all of this going on, clearly Cruz is not being treated like a murderer, they're not taking this guy seriously.
This corrections officer shouldn't have been working alone. No corrections officers should be working alone. Thank God the officer is OK. This video absolutely proves this confessed killer should be given the death penalty. The officer was looking out for the killer's safety, and he gets attacked.
@@samanthavazquez502 but you knew that’s what you were signing up for when you had the interview. Yeah they’ll kill you in there, they are reckless and you’re not tough
One officer on his own, with no chance of calling for help in life threatening situations, is disgraceful. Why were cameras not being watched, and why was his backup so long, and so far away!!!😡😡
@@katiekane5247 a lot of people don’t get how America, and a lot of countries really work. They don’t understand that commerce, numbers and profitability is always the bottom line. From our medical system, all the way to the legal and punitive systems. You hit it right on the head.
Sometimes it is asked because explanation needed for everyone to hear that’s why they do ask these simple questions may not make sense however in wider spectrum it does.
Why aren't school shooters executed on the spot? A school shooter is standing over the bodies of his victims, is there ANY doubt that he's GUILTY? What do we need a trial for? What, is it because we want to "understand"? All these trials, did anything useful come out of them, ever? There is nothing to understand. Justice is what victims and their families need.
I can’t tell if he’s expressing restraint or not. I can’t hear anything in the prison video. I can’t tell if the guard is instigating or not, all we have is his testimony
As a former correctional officer I can tell you that it is very common to work alone. Even if you hit the emergency button on your radio it can still take minutes before backup arrives. Also, fights in prison are not the same as on the streets. A person attacking an officer has only a few possible intentions. They might be a "check in" (trying to get sent to solitary or just off a specific unit) they will most likely hit you once or push you than immediately cuff up. Or they want to hurt you bad, or kill you. If you have never been in a fistfight with your life on the line it is hard to understand what happens. All in all this officer did a good job, there were a few things he could have done better, but that is something you think about after the fact. Correctional officers have a very hard and dangerous job. The coward on trial here is nothing compared to some of the people who they deal with on a daily basis. 90% of street cops would quit within a few months if they had to work in a prison. All I had was a radio, pepper spray, and my own hands while I was often alone with almost 200 inmates. : I edited the comment to fix a mistake that was causing confusion. Replaced the word formal with former.
@@zenamariex I appreciate it, but I do not work for the department of corrections anymore. I meant to say former correctional officer. I work in the industrial/technical rescue field now. Confined space, high angle, water, stuff like that. Working for the department of corrections was not very rewarding, and was causing problems with my family life. I was worried that if I stayed I would just become a cold, bitter, alcoholic with anger issues. Our prison system is completely messed up and it turns people who simply made a mistake and got in trouble with the law into hardened criminals. The idea is rehabilitation, but that's not what happens.
Everything you said is correct. I too worked in corrections, alone in a unit with 160 male penitentiary inmates and I’m a woman. The threat to correctional officer is an everyday thing. It’s dangerous. We didn’t have tasers, weapons or pepper spray…just a body alarm. You fight or talk your way out of a confrontation.
Efficiency? Lmao clown. He did horrible. He sat there while the guy raged out and flicked him off instead of standing up and preparing his taser immediately. As soon as Cruz stopped walking a good cop would’ve identified a huge threat. When the wrestling began the cop performed pathetically too. He looked horrible and weak and was lucky the parkland shooter is a puny little weakling himself. The officer proceeds to conduct one of the most laughably inefficient takedowns in history and loses his taser in the process for a brief moment Nothing about that was efficient fool it was laughable
Unlike him, the guard showed mercy. He fought someone who had training, not an unarmed kid, and he didn't have his assault rifle, surprise, surprise, he got owned.
3:30 look how STRONG that "kid" is! holy crap. The guard looks big, but this monster shoves him around like it is nothing. Some other comments here complain that inmates should not be called "animals", that it's our thinking that makes them behave that way... well case in point: this piece of work here attacked despite being treated VERY respectfully. I believe a guard should be allowed to kill an attacker on the spot. Why aren't school shooter executed on the spot, anyway? A school shooter is standing over the bodies of his victims; clearly he's GUILTY, no reasonable doubt, not any doubt: so what do we need a trial for?
You really think the guard didn’t goad him into this? A man with issues gets taunted by a guard, in a video with no sound, and gets attacked by said man with issues. I’m not defending him but I’m guaranteeing that the guard isn’t a great person either.
All these questions are pointless. We all know what he's done and see with our own eyes how violent he still is now in prison towards guards. This is despicable Looks like he wants to be executed by his behavior. He doesn't care about anyone. Just end this already
@Jessica Brennan I understand what you're saying, but there has to be due process and a fair trial under the rule of law, even pieces of human garbage like him are entitled to that. The victims deserve the dignity of things being done properly. Having said that though, I wouldn't feel in anyway uncomfortable about him being slowly torn to pieces by dogs after the guilty verdict
@@silacka3114 I wasn't aware it was 4 years ago but regardless. He needs to be wiped off earth. It just makes me sick seeing him sitting there while all those kids are dead and the victims who didn't die are having to go through this. I'm sure some want to go against this monster but it doesn't make it any less traumatic. Just seeing this video infuriates me
For those wondering who the couple is at 1:27 and 5:40 this is not the parents of Cruz, these are the parents of one of the shooting victims. Those parents are in nearly every court video.
This person has killed 17 people and seriously injured 18 others. One cannot expect that he will ever behave in a right way. He is devoid of morality and has no conscience and this makes him very, very dangerous. It would be useful to try and discover how he, and others like him, came to be this way. He was not born in a void. Like the rest of us, he was part of a society which nurtured and took care of him, as were his victims. One cannot imagine the pain of the victims families. I do hope that they will eventually find peace.
@@chrisdurham1144 he was reminded of the lack of power he possessed outside of jail, now realized he also lacks that power in jail. He’s a complete loner dork.
@@aaronharman5431 I don't know if it's exactly that. Perhaps. He exercised power by going after the guard and also exercised power by assuming the prone position with his hands behind his back so that the officer couldn't tase him without getting into trouble. -- He felt like he could get away with assaulting the guard when he assumed the prone position.
I have never thought I would say this about anyone, but I welcome the day that we all hear that that murderer was taken out in prison for what he did. He is not a sick or mentally broken loner; he is pure evil, PERIOD.
Officer, you did GOOD! Both in getting the upper hand when you were caught suddenly in the attack, and also during testimony on the Stand! Well Done Sir!
Sometimes some people are just evil. This is one of those times. I admire all the families for their dignity and restraint. I have no doubt that justice will be done in prison. Love from Great Britain.

I think you must prepare yourself for the future... they will release such criminals on the streets, and they will use them to kill citizens -- the honest and good ones. That's what liberals are planning... in Brazil, an activist judge of the Supreme Court just presented last week such project. The idea of all communists now is very simple: suchs inmate will join the mercenary forces already in training around South America... in Australia, Canada, USA, all major nations, they have such traning camps. The ones training the monsters are terrorist of the Middle East. Trust me. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am a Broker --- with many connections, besides bankers, politicians, corporations, etc. I know what the organized-crime have been doing. I talked to a friend and former UN Diplomat ( living in Switzerland, I live in Germany) about these issues and his answer was straightforward: "UN, EU, all governments know about these training camps, they know and they don't do anything against it because these are the future forces of the UN for the one government with one Army... they will use mercenary forces". That's why they want to take the guns of all citizens, so be aware the danger is real and it is near all of us. Never give up your guns, buy more and more ammunition. You will need it in the future.
@@tiger.wolf.2033 Interesting idea. I know they already use criminals as political terrorists here in the US at times. Riots and advocate district attorneys ensure criminals are able to commit crimes and not be punished while the media covers for them and tech censorship prevents people from communicating. We saw that all over the country in 2020 especially. I know this is only the beginning and consider myself and my family fairly lucky to be well armed, and stockpiled. The great thing about the US though, is that if one state becomes corrupt, there will always be another to move to that values personal liberties.
Where is the Sergeants help? I would hate to work in that jail, the staff needs to be fired for not responding, surely someone was watching the video for the Officers Safety.
It's not " why in the world would you even need the taser back?" It's " please explain to the court why it's important to need to get the taser back?" You read the question wrong. We're in court and he's a witness to the prosecution, not an adversarial witness
I know one guy that worked as a guard in state prison. He also said the same thing. It is a dangerous job to do. God bless you. Good man for thinking of you're family and a better future.
Imagine being a prison guard and being attacked by a psychopath who is trying to take away your weapon and the entire court proceeding regarding the attack is curiosity about how a taser works.
He attacked the guy when his hands are down and he’s seated. It’s easy to get an advantage for a short time if you do that. He wasn’t able to do anything significant because he is just a spindly guy. He was a coward when he attacked a bunch of unarmed school kids and he’s still is. Cop got him under control.
These young boys raised on chicken nuggets are strong and I saw some pull down NYC cops and mine is strong like this too. Their violence is also triggered by ibuprofen and Tylenol It is a written side effects of these meds let me say it again Tylenol and ibuprofen side effect is violence it's in the deep dive on the internet I've watched my kid ..on Tylenol and ibuprofen maybe their giving it to him regularly

If you want to be that extreme, anyone that commits violence against another should just executed after their sentence is read. Walk em down into a room, shoot em, trash em, done. putting violent people in jail is a waste of time and money anyways.
You're not cuffed inside prison. You go to prison as your punishment. You don't go to get punished even more. So prisoners aren't cuffed unless they're so high profile and so dangerous that they're deemed that category of prisoner. But in prisons, normal prisons, you are not cuffed whilst inside. This is a pretty common occupance in prison unfortunately. That's why they all have rsdios and alarms. Cameras. Usually you'll have every prison guard anywhere near this, they will come running from the other wings to assist. But an attack on prison guards isn't unusual. I'm in the UK. This looks like a Cat B prison to me. Not a high security prison. You're not even cuffed being taken there from court.
It’s scary to see how dumbfounded some are in the court audience. People need to have more situational awareness and know the capability of those who might do harm in this world. This country needs to realize you are your own first responder. Always take measures to keep yourself and loved ones safe.
Yeah that's the most shocking thing in this video is the wide mouthed audience who just are shocked at how violent criminals behave. This is actually a very tame attack, because he's a scrawny kid. I'm happy people have been sheltered from violence but you gotta educate yourself before it surprises you one day
are they overacting in hopes of being on tv? I didn't know why they kept showing that couple unless it's his parents, but they dont appear to be in the same genepool
That dude has been so expressive thru out this trial. After the initial attack, when it transitions to this man, you can see he was smiling (not at the attack itself, but when the guard is punching Cruz). Needs to better control that, bc the camera is fully on him at all times it seems..(which I don’t think these cameras should be, let these victims families have a lil privacy here to continue to mourn, especially having to hear such horrific detail over and over throughout this entire thing..)
Think about what you are seeing here. Cruz is in protective custody. He has someone looking out for him and protecting him at all times. You don't have to give this guy the death penalty, just put him in the general population of the prison. I can't imagine a mass child killer would last very long.
You’re absolutely right. life in prison wouldn’t be that long, depending on the jail he is in. Plus, if he is in protective custody and isolated too long, he will also suffer in a psychological way through lack of human contact. We can all sleep at night knowing that he won’t last long in prison. Someone will brutalize him, as he deserves
my Step-Daughter spent a year as a Sheriff's Deputy on the Gulf Coast of Florida. She used to guard these animals, many times she was alone.

@@laurieb3703 Exactly, a woman can't compete against a man phisically, and those people won't have any doubt getting in a phisical fight against the guard and it won't matter if it's a woman, they'll treat her the same way.
Where I'm from they literally tell you this and that you could be possible killed. She knew what she signed up for. But I'm glad she got out because it really is just a matter of time.

And if I couldn't roll the allies out, I dealt with Problem on my own - with extreme prejudice.
The fact that nobody came to his aid shows a lack of staffing. This could have gotten so much worse if the poor guard hadn't gain control.
ReAlLy!?!?!
There's normally more guards spread out throughout prisons like this, it's usually one guard per block, and more at security stations, the lobby, walking around the facility, the cafeteria, etc. If the officer did radio for help 2-3 other guards likely would have showed up.
@@pandaman3367 ya, buddy system should be required, it is more than just worth it, it should be required. feels like for every tax dollar meant to fund necessary personnel , we see it going to ultimately line the pockets of politicians. seriously 2 should be required or more period when dealing with unstable people like prisoners. it is simply irresponsible to not have a buddy system in place for these facilities or hazardous environments. honestly it is straight negligent not to do so and anyone who is hurt because of this lack of oversight gets a huge early retirement and those of whom are responsible for the negligence are removed. it is not that much more cost for a much more safe environment.
@@Daytruin yeah, maximum security prisons do have buddy systems from what i've seen, but yeah, we could definitely use another guard or two in the cell block at all times

He already knew how to do it 🤦
Clearly he took it, the cop even mentioned “he was trying to press the button”

For anyone saying, “Oh I can’t imagine what’s going through his head” just know that he’s already been exposed for faking insanity during his interrogation. There’s a whole video breaking down his entire interrogation.
Yup, JCS criminal psychology
He attacked the guard because he knows it's more consequences attacking a prisoner.
yeah he is definitely mentally sound. normal people kill a bunch of people all the time
Yes he is obviously completely mentally stable
i’m sorry but anyone that shoots children in a school is insane and has serious mental issues
Where was this guy's help? The fact that this officer was alone with this guy blows me away.
Does it really blow you away?
same thing I said!!!!!!!!
The close proximately of the single guard with a mass murderer is surprising. This a great risk to the guards safety and better safety protocols should be started.
Either have two guards present or have that psycho exercise in a bigger cage by himself. This was a fight for his life, the guard showed way too much restraint.
@22ks On average there is a 5:1 inmate to staff ratio
Usually its 3 inmates per gaurd, could have ended worse if the rest were out
“He reached for my taser, so I tried to get it back”
“Why?”
🤦♂️
Bro the guard was like wtf do you mean "why"
🇨🇳
lmao was gonna make this comment . WTF you mean why bro.. Its a taser!
You people don't understand how courts work, everything has to be on the record.
the cop was getting whooped at first lmfao
It's amazing how long this one officer had to address the situation by himself with no backup. Absolutely atrocious that he had no backup. he is lucky he is alive
This guy doesn't get enough pay, that I'm sure. The sad fact is that in most scenarios, the violent prisoners far outnumber the guards, who literally put their lives on the line daily just to keep the prisoners from harming themselves or one another. Can't say enough about this man's bravery and professionalism. That's what you call manhandling the situation.
There is definitely people who are "supposed" to be watching the screens in the surveillance room. The c/o did handle it amazingly, he's very professional. He deserves a raise.
There are a lot of witnesses that wish they got this chance to break things down so clearly, rather than steamrolled and then muzzled.
That is just how it is. He might not have pushed the emergency button in his radio in time. Even if you manage to hit the button it just depends how close another officer is to you. They could be there in 30 seconds or they could be there in 2 minutes. I was a correctional officer and it was a hard, and thankless job. I still have nightmares about some of the stuff I had to deal with inside the walls. All said and done he managed to survive and that is a win.
There's always someone that writes "he or she is lucky to be alive." It ain't that serious.
This kid is just sickening to watch. I can’t take it anymore and I cannot imagine how the families of the victims go through their days knowing he still walks the earth with absolutely no remorse. Disturbing.
Nicolas Cruz should be in an asylum for the criminally insane, not in a facility like this one.
This young man was screwed up since his early childhood and is unable to function normally.
Right!
Total agreement..and people falling over themselves to say " oh but he's not been proved guilty yet" huh?????
The kid is mentally ill he needed help and the system failed him
Yep. a true little psychopath.
Props to the guard, he handled the situation so professionally and also in court how he carried himself. 10/10 sir
I wonder why they let a single security guard watching over a dangerous murderous criminal all by himself! Shouldn’t there be at least two guards watching over a dangerous criminal at all times whenever they are being let out of their cell?
This punk is only dangerous with a gun, his barehand skills are of no real danger to anyone.

Jails and prisons in general are dangerously understaffed. Most have over 100 long term vacancies at any point in time.
I worked a level 5 state pen for a time. Some of our shifts overlooking 1100 inmates only had fewer than a dozen officers on duty. Mandatory overtime was insane to the point of turning all of us into semi awake zombies. On the worst nights a single dorm officer would also be the supervisor for an an entire side of the pound. We would have to go dorm to dorm doing security checks all shift long. When that happened we only enforced the most important rules while having to ignore everything else.
The good news is that this little terrorist is going to an even worse camp than I worked in that is just as grossly understaffed. He isn’t going to survive long in a barely supervised gladiator camp.
That officer is and rightfully so, the epitome of professionalism. Showing massive amounts of restraint!
The fact that he assaulted a prison guard and took this guards taser show how dangerous this guy truly is. He’s dangerous even in prison. When he was tased, this guy knew he lost. He fought the prison guard only to stand down when he lost that taser. Cowardly and pathetic.
Not uncommon. He was playing brinksmanship with the guard. He acted out up to the point that he would have gotten taze'd and then submitted. The guard would have gotten in trouble if he tase'd the inmate once he had submitted like that. It's all part of the game.
He wasn't tazed.
This was NOT a prison guard and it was not a prison.
There should be at least two guards at all times around a violent person like that.
if u pay for it... why waste money? 1 should be enough as long as he is not lazy and sleeping like this one

@@kathenley2811 the officer never should’ve been sitting down in the first place. Those 2 seconds it took him to get up is a lot of time in a fight. All that could’ve been prevented
@@Jason-bc4qx respectfully, I disagree. If the officer was standing then would it be interpreted that he was in a confrontational stance? There is no way to predict how this could have been prevented. There is only the knowledge and training that these things happen. This officer was keeping an eye on him. The best way for this to have been made better is for better staffing procedures. By this officer testifying on this experience, he is trying to ensure there is documentation on the offender's behavior so that it will be easier to place certain in-custody restrictions on his free time in the future.
Well done to Sgt. Raymond Beltran for gaining control of a life threatening situation. He showed incredible restraint after being attacked.
Absolutely, believable restraint. i would have beaten the SOB to a pulp for attacking me.
For real I would've stepped on his throat 70 times
Perfectly said Harry.
He should’ve never lost control.
Death penalty is for monsters
the real questions is where was his back up officers
This officer is fighting for his life and no one noticed for all that time that seems like forever, until he had to subdue the madman by himself. WHY????
Severely understaffed due to low pay and situations like this where inmates are constantly plotting your demise. Some facilities are staffed at 1/3 of full staffing roster.
IKR? Guard is lucky it was weasely assed little Nicky. What if it had been an actual hardened con who knows how to and enjoys fighting? I imagine the guard figured he had little to fear from Cruz, but what if he had a weapon? He's kinda known for that....

@@tradeladder146
It's NOT bs, it's a fact.
VERY PROFESSIONAL GUARD. He didn't get angry or try to take revenge. He just did his job, and very well at that.
A fine example of use of force. He escalated his force only when necessary and immediately reduced his force based on the aggressor's actions as he handcuffed Cruz. Notably, he didn't take any cheap shots after he was cuffed. Excellent training material for others around the country to see.
Well, the guard knows how high profile this dude is, and he knows he himself is on camera. Believe me, Cruze is not going to have a good time in jail.

Every second of every day you have animals playing mind games with you and at any given moment anyone of the animals could try to end you. They don't pay you enough to do this important job that few can do and most don't want to. I worked with a guy who worked for 20 years in one of America's most dangerous pens. After the third time that he narrowly escaped with his |ife, he took early retirement. The many accounts of his career in the pen were shocking to many. His strong will and kindness were all that saved him.

@@alekhinesgun9997 his situational awareness is very poor. You should never be seated in close proximity to prisoners even if it’s just one.
As soon as the prisoner stops walking everything about him screams assaultive behaviour (body language, stance, what he’s doing with his hands) yet the officer remains seated, he should have been on his feet instantly.
During the fight he gets the prisoner on his back and has a clear opportunity to mount him but instead comes around the side which is an extremely weak position to try and hold someone from, it worked but purely by luck rather than good practice.
Such a waste of taxpayers money. If you know without doubt somebody committed a heinous crime like he did why go through trial and let somebody like this continue to waste oxygen and food? The fact that him living out the rest of his life in prison is on the table is disgusting to me.

As a former correctional officer I can tell you that it is very common to work alone. Even if you hit the emergency button on your radio it can still take minutes before backup arrives. Also, fights in prison are not the same as on the streets. A person attacking an officer has only a few possible intentions. They might be a "check in" (trying to get sent to solitary or just off a specific unit) they will most likely hit you once or push you than immediately cuff up. Or they want to hurt you bad, or kill you. If you have never been in a fistfight with your life on the line it is hard to understand what happens. All in all this officer did a good job, there were a few things he could have done better, but that is something you think about after the fact. Correctional officers have a very hard and dangerous job. The coward on trial here is nothing compared to some of the people who they deal with on a daily basis. 90% of street cops would quit within a few months if they had to work in a prison. All I had was a radio, pepper spray, and my own hands while I was often alone with almost 200 inmates.

I have never thought I would say this about anyone, but I welcome the day that we all hear that that murderer was taken out in prison for what he did. He is not a sick or mentally broken loner; he is pure evil, PERIOD.
At any rate, @anishkrishna8255, that makes at least two of us! He'll get what's coming to him, guaranteed!

pure evil? he just some pathetic loser

Sometimes some people are just evil. This is one of those times. I admire all the families for their dignity and restraint. I have no doubt that justice will be done in prison. Love from Great Britain.
Exactly 💯
The concept of "good" and "evil" is a fantasy construction. In reality it's just "eat or be eaten".
Just give this kid the chair. He ain’t remorseful or nothing. Let him go👋
Imagine what it would be like if your only recreational time for the rest of your life was walking in circles for an hour before going back to a cell 🤣
And during that time the guard says "your shoes are broken, fun times over. Back to your cell"
He did it to himself! He went to prison, not a resort.

Without a weapon this kid is not dangerous the guard is just weak
@@isaiahdove1631 he was unarmed and nearly took a co weapon.. he obviously has some fight to him
It's like being a zookeeper. If the tiger gets you - it's your own fault.
We should get more female prison guards u know all these equality stuff etc
It’s nonsense, he knows exactly what he’s doing, stop wasting times and money.
Why does this dude have 10 lawyers
Because he’s the defendant in an important case broadcasted all over national television.
Look how interested Cruz looks when the Cop is explaining on how to remove the taser from his belt.
@Tiny Princess He's actually a Deputy Sheriff assigned to the detention center.
I could never be a prison guard, locked in with the worst and most dangerous animals in the world.
I think you must prepare yourself for the future... they will release such criminals on the streets, and they will use them to kill citizens -- the honest and good ones. That's what liberals are planning... in Brazil, an activist judge of the Supreme Court just presented last week such project. The idea of all communists now is very simple: suchs inmate will join the mercenary forces already in training around South America... in Australia, Canada, USA, all major nations, they have such traning camps. The ones training the monsters are terrorist of the Middle East. Trust me. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am a Broker --- with many connections, besides bankers, politicians, corporations, etc. I know what the organized-crime have been doing. I talked to a friend and former UN Diplomat ( living in Switzerland, I live in Germany) about these issues and his answer was straightforward: "UN, EU, all governments know about these training camps, they know and they don't do anything against it because these are the future forces of the UN for the one government with one Army... they will use mercenary forces". That's why they want to take the guns of all citizens, so be aware the danger is real and it is near all of us. Never give up your guns, buy more and more ammunition. You will need it in the future.
@@tiger.wolf.2033 Interesting idea. I know they already use criminals as political terrorists here in the US at times. Riots and advocate district attorneys ensure criminals are able to commit crimes and not be punished while the media covers for them and tech censorship prevents people from communicating. We saw that all over the country in 2020 especially. I know this is only the beginning and consider myself and my family fairly lucky to be well armed, and stockpiled. The great thing about the US though, is that if one state becomes corrupt, there will always be another to move to that values personal liberties.
Don’t call this guy dangerous come on bro, he’s a little scrawny weasel, take away his ar15 what is he?
Shocking that the officer was alone with no backup. This could've gone very differently.
Your tax money only affords so much…
I'm shocked he was sitting
They probably assume he is just a puny little boy 😓
Unintended pun being unintended.
@@livelyupmyself1 it can afford this waste of time. Instead it could've been used for a few extra guards.
Lawyers be like: "Explain to us how a toothbrush works"
Seems like he’s trying to have his life ended, he must be miserable in there. Let him be miserable for a long life.
It is so heartbreaking to look at all these people who have lost a loved one so close and dear to them…
Where is the Sergeants help? I would hate to work in that jail, the staff needs to be fired for not responding, surely someone was watching the video for the Officers Safety.
The guy asking questions seriously asked..."Why would you need to get the taser back?"
It’s for legal record. Must be extremely thorough.
So other people can hear it too
My thoughts exactly. It's like it's pure common sense.
It's not " why in the world would you even need the taser back?" It's " please explain to the court why it's important to need to get the taser back?" You read the question wrong. We're in court and he's a witness to the prosecution, not an adversarial witness
@@openlybookish It's a trial though. In court, you construct a chain of logic.
I know one guy that worked as a guard in state prison. He also said the same thing. It is a dangerous job to do. God bless you. Good man for thinking of you're family and a better future.
Imagine being a prison guard and being attacked by a psychopath who is trying to take away your weapon and the entire court proceeding regarding the attack is curiosity about how a taser works.
It's to prove the guard is competent
@@Ifoundmyoldacc acting or not he’s still crazy Period
@@ceoatcrystalsoft4942 there's no doubt in my mind that he is competent. He just got surprised attacked by psycho boy in the beginning.
“I had to get the taser back”
The judge: “why” 💀
It wasn’t the judge.
I hate when these shooters are taken alive. Everyone has to put up with their bullsh*t. This guy has pleaded guilty. Enough already.
I think they should be tortured death is too easy
I don't. I want them bashed by real men every day. Death is to easy.
@Paul they do it so they can interrogate them
Cruz seems like a spindly little guy. I'm surprised he was able to fight that guard as successfully as he did.
He attacked the guy when his hands are down and he’s seated. It’s easy to get an advantage for a short time if you do that. He wasn’t able to do anything significant because he is just a spindly guy. He was a coward when he attacked a bunch of unarmed school kids and he’s still is. Cop got him under control.
He moved a lot but didn't cause any damage lol
That was a bigger stronger guy could been a lot worse
Maniacs will fool you.
These young boys raised on chicken nuggets are strong and I saw some pull down NYC cops and mine is strong like this too. Their violence is also triggered by ibuprofen and Tylenol
It is a written side effects of these meds let me say it again Tylenol and ibuprofen side effect is violence it's in the deep dive on the internet I've watched my kid ..on Tylenol and ibuprofen maybe their giving it to him regularly
Not even a year in jail and he’s allready losing his mind , much worse then death penalty
Can you imagine being a gaurd with at least 20 people who gets easily offended about everything. Eventually you have to fight each of them. After every fight you can possibly/ potentially get in trouble for defending your self as a guard. This people need a raise.
We can all hope he receives justice from other inmates. The kid’s a monster.
I'm just glad he didn't trip on his slippers.

Is that they guy in the grey suit in the benches?
He attacked a guard and should be punished for it , why waste taxpayers’ time and money at court?
It's called due process. you may not value your civil rights, but others do.
Because it’s the right thing to do?
Same with any high profile case that takes years in court; there's a lot of money to be made. Just look at that court room packed with tax dollar milking lawyers. Due process my arse!
I think attacking a guard is the last thing he should be punished for..
@@SuperSayinSolidSnek exactly. I hope the people asking these questions are just ignorant of our civil rights because they are not American.
How in the world was he given an opportunity to attack the guard... horrible criminal justice system.
Of course after this show of unprecedented and unusual professionalism within the jail system and you still came to this conclusion. You are clinically brain dead
Even worse when you realize a jury saw this and still did not give IT, the death penalty IT deserved.
No more exercise for him. 24/7 lockdown.
Wait, a mass murderer is just walking freely in the general area. Shouldn't he be locked in isolation, with a straitjacket, shackled to the floor. 🤨
No, they do that to shoplifters
That's sick America. Why this don't hepen in Europe? Because you are giving him popularity
@@JaJa-12345 Florida State law requires this all be public. They have a "sunshine law" because they had/have pretty bad corruption issues. And to OP, this is his daily exercise, he's alone because he's been segregated.
As terrible as he is he is still human and needs to be treated like one. That doesn't mean he gets privilege just human rights. If you were locked up you would want the same.
It's actually good that he's in Gen Pop, when the inmates find out that he murdered a bunch of kids, they'll brutally execute him
The fact that he is still alive is everything wrong with this country
This is just laughable . What even is this “case” ? Why is the guard having to explain clear justifiable actions. My lord
because lawyers exist
Lawyers can't accept this man killed tons of people
Because in our country due process is a two way sword it's ugly but it's the best we have right now...
… it’s so people can’t interpret what he’s saying or misunderstand the functionality of the tazer, most people are brain dead so you can’t assume they can make a proper assumption of the situation
kind of like the inaccurate assumptions you fools are making 😅
This guard is a HERO... he would have been more than justified in getting some revenge, but he handled it 100% professionally. Nothing but respect for him👍🏾💯
Why was he not in handcuffs? The Sgt. did the right thing in defending himself from Mr. Cruz. Put Cruze in solitary and forget about him.
He was in jail, they don’t keep them in hand cuffs while in lock up. That would be considered cruel and unusual punishment
@@moriahlyn Time to start cruel an unusual punishment.
If you want to be that extreme, anyone that commits violence against another should just executed after their sentence is read. Walk em down into a room, shoot em, trash em, done. putting violent people in jail is a waste of time and money anyways.
@@thomas5495 Right 😂
You're not cuffed inside prison.
You go to prison as your punishment. You don't go to get punished even more.
So prisoners aren't cuffed unless they're so high profile and so dangerous that they're deemed that category of prisoner.
But in prisons, normal prisons, you are not cuffed whilst inside.
This is a pretty common occupance in prison unfortunately.
That's why they all have rsdios and alarms.
Cameras.
Usually you'll have every prison guard anywhere near this, they will come running from the other wings to assist.
But an attack on prison guards isn't unusual.
I'm in the UK.
This looks like a Cat B prison to me. Not a high security prison.
You're not even cuffed being taken there from court.
"at this point I had to get the taser back"
"Why?" Is he for f*cking real.... I WONDER WHY!!??
It’s scary to see how dumbfounded some are in the court audience. People need to have more situational awareness and know the capability of those who might do harm in this world. This country needs to realize you are your own first responder. Always take measures to keep yourself and loved ones safe.
Yeah that's the most shocking thing in this video is the wide mouthed audience who just are shocked at how violent criminals behave. This is actually a very tame attack, because he's a scrawny kid. I'm happy people have been sheltered from violence but you gotta educate yourself before it surprises you one day
are they overacting in hopes of being on tv? I didn't know why they kept showing that couple unless it's his parents, but they dont appear to be in the same genepool
@@Haddley333 i was wondering who those two people were as well, especially the man with the ever changing facial expressions
That dude has been so expressive thru out this trial. After the initial attack, when it transitions to this man, you can see he was smiling (not at the attack itself, but when the guard is punching Cruz). Needs to better control that, bc the camera is fully on him at all times it seems..(which I don’t think these cameras should be, let these victims families have a lil privacy here to continue to mourn, especially having to hear such horrific detail over and over throughout this entire thing..)
@@sns22895 i think he cared more about being on camera than anything, as he keeps glimpsing at it, fixing his hair, overly expressed, etc.
Think about what you are seeing here. Cruz is in protective custody. He has someone looking out for him and protecting him at all times. You don't have to give this guy the death penalty, just put him in the general population of the prison. I can't imagine a mass child killer would last very long.
You’re absolutely right. life in prison wouldn’t be that long, depending on the jail he is in. Plus, if he is in protective custody and isolated too long, he will also suffer in a psychological way through lack of human contact. We can all sleep at night knowing that he won’t last long in prison. Someone will brutalize him, as he deserves
He wouldn't last the first night
@@Niaaal Pointless really because he'll never be in general population
@@exitscreaming4637 neither was Jeffrey Epstein and they still managed to take him out, don't be so naive.
@@dickbiggerjr3613 " They still managed to take him out " . Who is " they " ?
my Step-Daughter spent a year as a Sheriff's Deputy on the Gulf Coast of Florida. She used to guard these animals, many times she was alone. She ended up leaving the job because she knew it was just a matter of time before something bad would happen. The jail administration had no concern for their welfare.
It's very badly done, this guy could have been murdered just like your step daughter, it's awful.
Under no circumstance should a woman be guarding men, it is a liability.
Women should absolutely NEVER be guards in a men's prison
@@laurieb3703 Exactly, a woman can't compete against a man phisically, and those people won't have any doubt getting in a phisical fight against the guard and it won't matter if it's a woman, they'll treat her the same way.
Where I'm from they literally tell you this and that you could be possible killed. She knew what she signed up for. But I'm glad she got out because it really is just a matter of time.
Too bad police officers can’t all be clear , precise and as professional as this guard.
Well this guard did nothing wornf and has nothing to hide. Sadly, plenty out there have plenty to hide...
Let him pace in his cell, he doesn’t deserve any freedom whatsoever. This is what this society is creating. Sad times

Good thing your mom keeps you locked in the basement.
Wow! So thankful this officer wasn't hurt. It just shows that this person needs to be locked down for life and not given any room to do this again.
