Teen Reaches $1.9M Settlement After Mistakenly Shot by Cop

- Rylan Wilder was cleaning up at a Chicago music school when an armed bank robbery suspect, fleeing from cops, ran inside. Police later shot and killed the suspect but also mistakenly shot Wilder. Although he survived, Wilder wondered if his dream of playing the guitar professionally was gone. Eighteen operations later, he learned to play the guitar in a whole new way. His family's lawsuit against the police department claimed "reckless" and "excessive" behavior. The department settled for $1.9 million.
The department didn't settle. We the taxpayers paid for their recklessness
They followed the armed robber into the music school and as the robber passed by the kid ran out between the two. He's lucky to be alive either way. @@mtunofun1
Yep taxpayers usually pay whether or not they like it
@@mtunofun1the “robber” ran in there
yeah we the taxpayers pay for the good the bad and the ugly. Taxes be like that
Thank you. The press *never* mentions that. They make it sound like the po-pos took responsibility.
I understand that the cops didn’t intend to hurt the kid, but there still needs to be some sort of accountability.
The cop probably said he was sorry and gave the kid some flowers.
Blame the guy who stole.
1.9 million aint enough i guess
@@AlextheHistorianThe $1.9M was on top of the city coverring all medical expenses. And FYI that $$ is TAX FREE!
They go through training for just this type of scenario. This should never have happened. The officer didn't follow protocol or his training.
Heroically putting his life in jeopardy by wildly firing into a crowded school and shooting a 15-year-old? What a joke.
Typical cop behavior.
Would you rather that cops let the armed robber escape further into the school?
Potentially endagering more students?
If it was Texas they would have just sat outside
@@Kelpie-sb5bi Seems the cop did more damage
@@sparkls4492the bank robber was too dead to cause any damage or hold hostages. Bet that makes you sad 😢 Also 1.9 mil for accidental shooting to the arm is absurd. People be milking the taxpayer using police accidents or malpractice as an excuse. Meanwhile cops who do something much worse get off without anyone caring.
“Don’t let this officers reckless actions negate the fact that he doesn’t care who he hits as long as he gets his target” is what I got from that statement
Same.
As it should be….
He didn’t care? You sure about that?
@@RecoveringUGrad no he didnt👍
That’s not an “accident.” It’s called negligence.
It's called crossfire
huh sure oiiii u see the suspect has a gun too right?
honestly no, crossfire, bad timing, police tunnel vision, but in the end this is what happens when crime is rife. I consider this an accident and negligence as his aim was off, but even then its still wrong place wrong time.
If only that $ is coming from the cops pension plan. Not our pockets.
@@angelstyle9677 Crossfire because the cop was shooting at an armed assailant. Would you prefer he wait until himself and the student were killed?
Can we please start holding cops accountable when they mess up
Can we please watch entire video
@@gamingwitharlen2267 1.9M settlement isnt enough. That cop needs to go to prison
@@hijackbyejack1729 for shooting a guy with a gun while the kid ran pass nothing the cop could do.
@hijackbyejack1729 Prison is to much for someone who puts his life on the line daily

"Always Be Sure of Your Target and What's Beyond It." Well, that cop did break one rule of firearm safety. 😬
i also bilive trigger discipline even tho thare was no negligent discharge
I learned it as "Know your target and what lies beyond" when my MCT instructor was telling us about how a 50 will go through the target and a wall.
Accidents still have consequences. I’m literally in the process of teaching my 7 year old the same thing. Not that these events relate to parenting but the simple fact is that even accidental events can still have heavy consequences.
Teaching a 7 yr old what?????
@@branchofthevine779 that accidents can have consequences. cant you read
You're better off putting your kid on a leash. 😂
@@user-wi8sw6gi6w what a ridiculous example for a child. This is a police officer negligently discharging his firearm to subdue a suspect. It’s no accident, it’s negligence!
@@branchofthevine779The teen got in the way.
As someone outside of the US, it's amazing a cop could just run in and spray their guns like that despite seeing innocents around and the shop clearly is open and people about.
Let’s not pretend it isn’t happening everywhere.
HAMAS terrorists hiding in residential buildings .
The US isn’t even top 10 per capita of gun violence in the world .
That's life in the U.S.
In Europe if you open fire with innocent people in the background you will end up in prison
what should the police do in that case? that criminal turned and pointed his gun at the police. Take a bullet and still risk the lives of everyone by letting that gunman roam free? Dont just judge a situation based on a 3 second clip. Thats not how real life is
@@AmerikaliAynasizwas he roaming free or just pushed into a corner?
It's shocking how this behaviour by a police officer is seen as heroic
Not all heroes wear capes 😎
@@mcdragon0123👏
its shocking how you treat this like its intentional
What surprises me is how everyone is literally giving this guy is the absolute hardest time when he was faced with an armed bank robber and his aim was a little off. On top of that the kid was idiotic enough to run almost straight at an armed police officer in a gun fight. "Man I wonder what would happen if I ran in front of his gun" was probably what his dumbass was thinking. Either that or he was too stupid to think to duck.
@@kalechips5972 You get outta here with that logic and common sense!
Poor kid, that exit wound is devastating.
Yeah, 18 operations is mind blowing... Wouldnt be surprise if the 1.9M was almost gone with the medical fees
@@me.lms1126 long gone
@@me.lms1126i thought the exact same
Why does such a dangerous negligent.. unprofessional have an assault rifle?
That police man put everyone in more danger than the actual robber
And you know this....how? Not one person has asked what the suspect was doing when the officer began shooting? Maybe....he was pointing a gun in the direction of the kid and officer?
Using his rifle was insane in that situation, wouldn’t have risked over-penetration and wouldn’t have almost blown that kids arms off if he was using his pistol like the other officers
@@jonathanyoung8109 He probably thought he was playing Call of Duty.
@@frenchbulldogdad1003 we know this because literally no one was injured/killed other than who the police injured/killed....
Depends. If the robber they were chasing pulled a gun and aimed it towards the cop/bystanders, then ideally the cop would want to take out the threat as quick as possible, but sadly in the chaos of things, accidents can happen. The cop obviously didn’t intend to harm any bystanders
There was no reason for the cop to go that hard and fire so wildly like that. He did not check to make sure the room was clear of innocents. He did not warn anyone he was going to open fire, he just burst in guns blazing, knowing there were people in there besides the suspect.
I came to say this!!
@@YourExcellencyif there was a bank robbery that the suspect committed, wouldn’t you think he would be armed?
@@oinkytheink1228bank robberies aren’t always committed with a gun…
Almost like he knew the suspect had a firearm and was running into a music school. Do you want him to just wait to see if the man starts shooting people in the school? The room having innocent people in it is likely why he acted so swiftly in the first place. Allowing the suspect to barricade with hostages could have easily turned into many more dead.
@@YourExcellencyexactly
"Putting his life at risk to save others"
More like "putting other's life at risk to save himself"...
Exactly: Their safety, at the expense of ours.
with 18 surgeries, does $1.9M even cover that? this is america after all.
The amount of surgeries shows that the bullet hit some very important tendons and ligaments that likely had to get reattached. And he was a musician, who knows what it hit that could affect how he plays. From the sounds of it, it did affect him as they said he had to learn to play a different way. Probably lost some dexterity in his wrist and fingers. That's lifelong damage right there.
The fact the armed robber actually was more careful with the gun around the innocent bystanders than the actual cop speaks volumes, that they need better training and they need to make the police take accountability for their actions. Imagine if those people who went into the room were out by where they were just a few minutes ago. not only would the suspect be dead but at least 2 other innocent people would have been as well not from the suspect's bullets but from the cops bullets/actions.
cop was more dangerous then the robber but what did the robber even do to be gun down like that
@@mathieugervais501 run awat whilw holding a weapon.. thats it, not even a chanse of surrender was given at least in dictatorships they give you one chance to give up..

@@royman2446aww where's mommy?
Absolutely ridiculous when the cops clearly saw innocent people unaware of what was going on.
They were facing an armed robber. Tunnel vision.

It's their fault for harboring him. Of course they'd be used as human shields what did they expect? Cop would have been well within his rights to defend himself by bringing down the whole building. They shouldn't have let him in.
@@FourLightsOfficial LOL is this sarcasm? Talk about a bad take
@@natalie_v0.1 how so?
That officer has no regard for human safety
I know the situation is bad, but I am sitting here thinking that what if someone else who matched the runners description was just working there casually?
Like it felt like the officer didn't even guess his decision of open fire.
They never do.
dont worry, that happens alot too.

@@steveniemyer9288no not nonsense, that's why cops have body cameras(which they still can manipulate or delete the data, surprise surprise).
Thankfully that camera was there
That officer didn't even try to clear his target first.
That’s not an accident, that’s negligence. Good on them for suing.
To be honest it's hard to say that was heroic. The cops ran in and starting blasting. I'm glad no one else was hurt but I wish we could see this from another angle showing if the suspect was about to attack or surrender. The boy really saved his own life by getting out of the way. The officer made his decision before entering that he was going in for the kill. Again, I just hope there is footage from another angle showing if the suspect was about to attack or surrender
I wonder if the suspect was armed

The department's response is the very reason why people don't trust them. They never admit they're wrong and you never see the "good" cops telling the bad ones they're wrong and they need to stop.
@@datoki7589 The kid is obviously getting away from danger "the armed robber" that was definitely wreckless shooting.
@@datoki7589are you sane? They burst in and began firing as soon as they were got inside. Even the gunman was more careful with the people inside.

Exactly!!
Blame the victim, ok.
as a musician and beginner guitarist, i cant imagine the heartbreak of this happening, not only is it a traumatic experience to go through but to lose the ability to do something youre passionate about even if temporary is terrible
1.9 million,in America that's just enough to pay your medical bill.
That boy is maimed for life.
Only cops could screw up to such a monumental degree and still try calling themselves "heroic"
Heroic for putting their lives (as well as other’s lives) at risk to save others 😮
They want nothing but to be seen as heroes!!!
@@broombromden498heroic for that yes, but referring to cops who do stuff like this and escalate a situation instead of deescalating it, theyre not heroes
@@broombromden498”putting their life’s at risk”… as if they do this for free.. they signed up for a dangerous job and still want to be praised heroes😂
@@broombromden498 No, a hero is a person who decides to take risks and it is not his job, his duty, he has no training, proper equipment and no money for it. That's a hero. I don't mean it in a bad way, but for a policeman, it is his job that he has consciously decided to do, that is, an obligation, he receives money for it and is trained, as well as provided with tools and equipment, or the whole team. I don't want to question the policemen and their courage, but the definition of a hero is something else.
That fact that one person lost their life and another person was seriously injured ,all because of a bank robbery ,is so sad in every way.

and because of a poorly trained, trigger happy cop.

That surprised me, greatly.
Crazy, it went from a normal & chill to insane moment so fast! in a blink of an eye your whole world can be turn around and forever changed!
One of the rules of using firearms if your shooting know your back drop. This cop said screw it starting spraying you can't do that.
"Putting his life at risk to put other people's lives at risk"-the correct statement.
As a former cop, keeping the public safe is always number one. That officer was a little to trigger happy in that situation imo
lol, most cops couldn't care less about public safety. Especially in Chicago. That cop should be arrested for what he did, completely reckless.
A little trigger happy is def an understatement...I was a little confused by the video at first but then when i saw that the suspect was a person of color, it then made sense to me why the white male officer was a "little trigger happy" GRRRR!!!! :(

Thatll be cover by the police dept aside from the 1.9 million dollar settlements and im guessing in the settlements would include the ongoing cost of all medical expenses ( thats if hes got a very top expensive lawyers)
Wow that statement. What a disgrace. Instead of showing a little class and empathy. The department completely deflected the negligence. This is why the people don't trust cops anymore. It also takes away from what the good cops do out there.

If you were defending yourself from a robber and hit a passerby in the process, you would face reckless endangerment, or if you killed the person, you'd face a minimum of 7 years because of a manslaughter charge.
@@alexstetson2397not if that armed man was aiming the gun at you and the passerby…
@@6z0if there was any amount of motivation to charge you, they will charge you.
@@alexstetson2397 If an armed gunman storms into a building posing a threat to everybody inside that building, you will not he charged for taking out that violent criminal. Get out of your fantasyland

More power, more responsibility
The Officer just went it and started shooting ... What if there was a little kid ?
imagine what a different story that would be if that was not a teenage boy but a 10 year old little girl that got
a deadly 360 no scope headshot.
Ooh how different the story would have been. They know it, we all know it.
There were little kids! Did you watch the whole video??
@@nychris2258 Yes. but what if they were where he was at
If there wasn't a camera: The officer would have gotten a paid vacation. All he would have said was "The little kid pulled out a weapon and I feared for my life"
The city would of paid two settlements while calling the cop a hero they dont care about anyone not wearing a uniform
Imagine if that kid had of came running out a split second later. It probably would have ended up even worse!😢
Police officer got the bad guy and gave someone 1.9M. That's a great cop.
18 operations!?!?! 😡😡😡 This is a travisty!
It's called the hospital needs a new MRI machine.
@@JonO387 it's called the cop needs a vacation from the service forever with zero pension and benefits
@@gridtac2911 its an arm wound
I'm surprised the cops didn't arrest the kid, "obstructing a police investigation" or some such.
It was not an accident. The cops were careless.
Crazy how these repeats pop back up
Lord. That cop didnt even stop to take a look. That could have been so much worse. And really, the risk he took. The man was running away.
the armed man who just robbed a bank ran into a shop with innocent civilians. he couldve taken them hostage. the officer had to stop the threat
@@keeganjewell4050 I don't know how taken an item and running away with it is a threat. But ok.
robbing a bank with a gun isn't just taking something and running with it so don't try and make it seem like it's something its not. and you really don't think someone who just robbed a bank with a gun isnt a threat? yeah because that the only crime he is willing to commit right?@@Letstalk295
you don't see a man who just robbed a bank with a gun and is running from the police as a threat? he didn't steal a pack of candy from a convenience store. i don't know why you're trying to undersimplify what he did. saying robbing a bank is just "taking an item and running with it" is like punching someone in the face and saying that you gave them a love tap. @@Letstalk295
@@keeganjewell4050 "Officer"? Like someone who graduated from West Point with a degree in chemical engineering? I'm sorry, that person is an irresponsible street cop with a GED.
Settlements do not equal accountability. It means the city paid to make sure the police CANNOT be held accountable.
Exactly. Especially when the settlement isn't coming out of the police officer's pocket. It's coming out of the taxpayers pocket. Police should have to carry insurance like doctors do.
But that kid wont see a cent his parents will spend everything on themselves and forget they have children until the money runs out
That kid is affected for life . Only 1.9 million dollars. That's utter rubbish.
That is absolutely insane...They didn't even stop shooting when someone random came into the picture...
Behavior of a psychopath.
Exactly. Didnt even look to the left
its a arm wound
