Allen, TX Outlet Mall Shooting Police Bodycam Footage

This officer did an excellent job. My salute. However, he might want to spend a little time on the jogging track. LOL

Man I can't fault him too much. That's a LOT of gear. And with his adrenaline and it looked fairly warm, I'm surprised he did as good as he did.

One way to look at it for a guy on a forum from his recliner.

I know this may not sound very tactically sound from the cop's POV (or safe?), but what if the officer had fired a few rounds into the air between bursts of shots fired by the perp to distract him and maybe stop him from shooting innocent people for a moment or two? Yes, it alerts the bad guy that someone else with a gun is coming, but he might panic and just go ahead and off himself if he thinks police are near and it may have at least saved a couple innocents from being shot. If nothing else it disrupts his OODA loop momentarily and maybe gets him off his game. Just trying to think outside the box...

In this case, outside the box is one of the dumber places that’s ever been thought from.

A hero or just doing the job he signed on to do? I think that many throw that term 'hero' around a little too loosely.

Now if he had pulled a wounded civilian out of the line of fire from an active shooter, or shielded a child from getting shot . . . now THAT's the actions of a 'HERO'.

Doing the job he’s paid for.

That being said, there’s other people doing the job they’re paid for, which is providing scene medical care. Doing their job while not doing his only serves to exacerbate the problem.

Successful response and ending considering the situation.

Most likely the physiological response to adrenaline dump.

I agree the word is overused. Professional athletes aren’t heroes. But anyone who voluntarily puts themselves at risk to save others is a hero.

I’m in the mall parking lot listening for gun shots.

I dunno why but my emoji thingee is not working. All I can do is "like" posts right now.

Uvalde officers need to watch this daily while they're in prison, this is how an officer should handle an active shooter. This man is a hero and should set the bar for others.
