I'm blown away by that first undercover officer literally ran right towards the danger. He needs an award.
That’s what they get paid to do it’s part of the job
Yes, they get paid it's their job but sometimes they will show exceptional bravery or a life saving act that is beyond their normal duties. His dept will probably recognize him in some way, they give awards, stripes, medals in special situations like the military does.
@@Brandon68plus1 that’s no reason to discredit what he’s done
@@Brandon68plus1 Just part of the jobs, daily heroes 🙌
Zaltic Nah thats his job duh 😩signed up for it
It’s amazing to see people who run INTO danger to save others. 💪🏾
too bad they couldn't in uvalde
@@StanleyKubick1 lol give it a rest bro
Masculinity is toxic right up until it starts saving people
@@neemanon exactly.
Done it several times since I was 18 starting as a fire fighter. I've worked in EMS and law enforcement now. I appreciate you realizing that. We have to run towards what others run from.
The relief in her voice is chilling. So glad she is safe.
Proud of this Officer. We are trained to run towards the gun fire not away from it. He did exactly what he was supposed to.
Woulda been great if he was at Uvalde
@@jessasalte5804 That’s why he said would have
@@steve50431 They were ordered to stand down so it could become a tragic situation and push the agenda.
@@steve50431 seriously, people need to stop placing one tragic situation in the mix with a heroic situation. It completely takes away from what this and the millions of other good officers do every single day all over the world!
@@NicCageForPresident2024 please enlighten us with your wisdom and the proof of this statement you made. Misinformation like this, on the level this accusation is, could get you in a lot of trouble without proof to back up the ignorance. So, please, where's the proof?
Great job, officer!
Yes sir
You could hear her fear and gratefulness all at the same time.
God Bless all the men & women who serve in Law Enforcement and do their job correctly and adhere to the public's needs above all!
God bless all who helped her
you don't have to be blue or red. We're all citizens....and this cop IS a brave hero. Consoling. Empathetic. Brave guy.
I didn't realize the guy in the beginning is a cop, thought it was a rogue Uber driver
Great job guys and I’m glad the lady is good&safe. All the best from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
"Porter was pronounced dead at the scene" *awesome* ! good job taking out the trash! that waste of life is no longer a burden or threat to anyone!
I breathed a sigh of relief for her and I don't even know what happened.
LOL Same!! XD
Her ex-boyfriend was holding her hostage making her drive for hours at gunpoint. She got him to go into the gas station bathroom, called the cops, and then the dude got in a shootout with police here, then that's where this video starts.
@@BRG64 Thank you for filling us in.
DEFUND THE POLICE
How do you feel about the FBI?
@@adoredpariah The Support local Police, not the Federal Government
im so confused about this
@@alphamale3643 lol, I guess that thin blue line only goes so far for some folks. "Support cops and blue lives matter.... Just not THOSE blue lives, you know, the bad ones I don't like." Good luck with that logic.
DEFUND DONNIE!
Even though she wasn't hurt physically, that's still a lot to recover from mentally. I hope she gets the support she needs.
Oh for sure, she'll need therapy.
You guys did it. Nice work!
That went from 0 to 100 in 10 seconds flat. That is what our officers deal with. I love that the officer held her hand and gave her care.
Bless her heart. I pray she finds peace in her future because I’m sure the memories will haunt her for a long time.
She's a wuss
That's as real as it gets! WOW
Good job officers 👏🏻
Thank u
@@duck_9802 come on 😏
great work sir/ no fear in him
Very intense situation gotta give the officer credit I would’ve panicked if I was in his position
Most would panic unless you have had proper emotional fitness training. This is not a normal situation for normal people.
That wasn't an officer. He was driving a Honda
@@dylantedlock9481 how many Honda owners do you know that wear a body cam?
@@dylantedlock9481 could have been off duty
@@dylantedlock9481 no it was a cop you can clearly see police in reflections when he gets out
This officer is all we needed in the recent school shooting, he did what countless others simply didn’t feel moved to do! Amazing, God bless you and continue to keep you safe
So sweet officer comforting her Thanks for all of your hard work Appreciating and respect to you all 😊
I like these endings. pronounced dead at the scene.
Great job officer! 🇺🇸
That’s one brave man 💪
That dude was chill!!!
Excellent skills in calming the distraught person.
Love this guy's vlogs, always a good watch.
I felt her emotions once she realized she was no longer in danger.
I hope she recovers fully from this horrifying experience.
Thank God for the undercover officer who came to her rescue. XO
Great work guys. Keeping peoples loved ones as safe as possible is what it’s all about
Happens daily here in Houston
Yeah its getting worst every day
That’s why I stay my @ss outta Houston unless going to rodeo or driving through.
Oh my god that poor woman thinking her life was about to end and then the voice of and angle. That cop was and angle for sure and she was so lucky to have him. So proud of our policemen and women who put there lives in danger to serve and keep us safe.Thank You
"You're ok. It's over."
Wow.
I wish that the police could get credit for these life saving moments like this. There are more great officers than bad.
💕🙏🏻✌🏼
Thank God for wonderful police officers!!!
Thank God she's ok and those that helped her
Luckily the garage never burst into flames 🔥
thank you sir. you did your job unlike many. we love you.
Wow, a cop that actually runs towards the action. Take note LEO's.
Happens every day......pull your head out.
@@driveman6490 Most cops are POS's.
They won't show this on the media!!!!
Excellent. Dead at the scene for the kidnapper. Saved the taxpayer hundreds of thousands, if not a couple million in prosecution and prison costs.
Wow. Great job.
Where is angle number two?
The description isn't quite accurate. It should read "Bodycam footage shows car, then parking lot, then woman's arm."
When you have nothing but cheers to give.
Good job officer!
This is when I'm glad to say I pay your salary! And will gladly continue to work. To contribute to you, and fellow officers like you. Great job buddy! Got my respect!
Thanks, but may I have a raise? I'm trying to save for a down payment for a mortgage.
@@PalmettoNDN go fund me
No you dont. You pay taxes and maybe your money went into a new road or a public toilet so people are shitting on your money. Dont you ever say you pay a cops salary because they dont owe you nothing.
The last 2 lines of the description made my day.
This made me cry 😭. Thanks to the VERY brave officer for helping this woman 🤩👍👏
This made you cry? Your ridiculous
I hope she is okay. Glad the officer said it. Occasionally.
That was amazing 👏 🙌
Thank You Officers for Saving Her!
That's a good way to win a womans heart. That's awesome y'all were there!! Good on y'all
Great video well done officer. Now can we see the shootout... please
Good work Officer. 👏🏾
THANK YOU LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!
Great job officers !!!!!
The only lives that truly matter are those who respect the lives of others.
Him reassuring her shes okay over and over has me bawling😭😭
Legend has it,he is still telling the women she is ok..
THATS SCARY
Bro. These videos make me hurt internally with all the hate cops get. Feels so good to see the real intent behind most cops
she will never forget that cop
Heroes 🇺🇸!!!
Blessed be the peacemaker!
It's Great to hear that Porter died of lead poisoning. Great Job Houston Police Dept. and the hostage that allow the police to set themselves up, while she claimed that she had to use the restroom.
You can just feel the fear in her voice.
Thank God for our brave officers!!!! So glad she is ok!!!!
Overpowering a man labelled criminal is not brave!
Dude busted on June 6, he was arrested in Louisiana after officers found a two-pound brick of cocaine during a traffic stop. A judge set his bond at $250,000, question is, who bailed him out, the girlfriend, guy has been in and out of prison, a lot of questions here.
crazy, luckily she is unharmed.
People don’t understand the true feeling of life or death situations
Wow love looking at the ground the whole time
Gas station and shootout should never be in the same sentence. Things can go south real quick
Notice how he ran behind her, holding her arms, so his body stayed aligned with hers, protecting her from active fire.
I love a good happy ending. Victim is safe and the suspect is dead
Intense, very good work. I wonder who the second set of legs belonged to? Another cop, another hostage, or the suspect?
Theres a story to tell
You guys giving the cop an awful lot of credit for doing his job I wouldn’t expect anything less personally
Crazy asf
😊😊😊😮
I GUARANTEE YOU this lady will never participate in a DEFUND THE POLICE rally or protest ever in her life after this.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Just because they also save people alot which they do, doesn't give them a pass to keep violating natural law which they do through enforcing tax (theft) and drug laws. They're a much bigger threat to freedom than they are heroes. Crazy how your captors can also be your hero in certain situations but they're still your captor...
is she ok?
I’m so over hearing about gun violence in Texas. I’m glad that the woman is safe.
It's amazing that the true victims appreciate the officers putting their lives on the line to save theirs.."THANK YOU..THANK YOU"..YOU'RE OK." God bless America and those who choose to have respect for law and order..we need to stop the victimhood nonsense. Prayers for the officers and the lady. The perpetrator made his choice.
Thank goodness she managed to escape 🙌 and this will haunt her for a long time.
and she was refused help by so many people too
cant tell WTH is going on
Finally a woman who's not screaming bloody murder. She stayed so focused wow.
She’ll be screaming police brutality next time she gets pulled over
This made me cry!!!! Idk why as I watched and all these emotions came over me as if I was there and I was that lady and the peace officers was saving me! WOW SALUTE TO THE OFFICERS THAT WENT HEAD IN TO THE SHOTS FLINGING EVERYWHERE TO SAVE THIS LADY I WISH THE OFFICERS AT THAT SCHOOL DID THE SAME BUT NO THEY WAS COWARDS n the kids got murdered… THESE OFFICERS ARE HEROS
People if you find yourself in this situation you better be ready to move like this women did. When your chance comes to get away, take it, seize it!!!
If they put you into a vehicle your dead!
You'd have a better chance of getting shot where you are, then getting in the car. Listen to your gut and your instincts.
Once captured, you'll need to do everything you can to make the kidnapper think you care about them and build a repore with them. Let them think you are mad at what people have done to him that put him in his current situation. Convincing them you love them and when you're chance comes you go! Don't forget the tictok hand signal if you're in trouble!
Wth is a tictok hand symbol lol. Something tells me the majority of people don't know what this is
@@c.odubhlaoich2948 i also have no idea what tictok hand signal means
Only thing that comes to mind is SOS morse code but with hands but i have no idea
Pointless posting this video that shows absolutely nothing.
Case CLOSED...sad..
Is she ok?
"GET AN AMBO"
Terrifying
Intense
OFFICER!!🥇🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇺🇸
God bless the cops!
What a day!
God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏.
this is the Greatest Country on earth
It's very quickly becoming third world tier though.
