Glad the good guys won but dangerously close to being hit in the head. Looks like this happened over a week ago.
Wow, the officer was so close to being killed. Thank God he is doing well.
Thank the good Lord he wasn’t hurt more than he was.
Couldn't the office just shoot him in the knee? lol
Wow, this officer was so lucky! Applied his own tourniquet for crying out loud!! Hope he's alright. I bet he'll be guns out and everybody on the Fning ground face down from this day forward.
Lucky officer. It could have been much worse for him.
How many of the 10 did he break?
I counted 6
Attitude
I am cop. I am wear badge. I am in charge. I am tell him what to do.
Besides this he could be thinking we are so short and understaffed, everyone's on a call, I have to handle this on y own.
Tombstone Courage
Wait for backup
Taking a bad position
Really poor approach to a guy that was reported to be WALKING AROUND WITH A GUN!
Missing danger signs
The guy is not paying attention to you, he is actively looking for a place to run.
He is not showing his hands
He is not complying with instructions.
Fail to watch hands
Again, as stated above.
Relaxing too soon
This can either be debated or added into the first one, attitude
He also left his keys in the patrol car and the door unlocked.
Any coach will tell their players that attitude can make the difference between a win and a loss in any game. This could apply to law enforcement, except for the fact that police work is not a game and losing is not an option.
Sometimes it’s just plain smart to slow things down or even disengage.
Being alert is a necessity in law enforcement, and you can’t do that when you are sleepy or asleep.
When you are in contact with the public, look up and look out. Get your head out of your apps!
Officers must resist the tendency to relax when they confront compliant suspects, because feigning compliance is a common criminal tactic. If you find one suspect, one weapon, one explosive device, one of anything dangerous, do not relax. Continue the search for more. Remember, nothing is “routine.”
You will notice the chief said they will use this footage in their training for the right things to do like self applying a tourniquet. He does not mention the stupid things he did, that will be included in the classroom. I'm sorry, but I would impress on this officer he needs to rethink his tactics or his career path.

1. ATTITUDE
If you fail to keep your mind on the job for any reason, you may miss critical indicators of impending danger. Having an unhealthy attitude can also cause an officer to slip into such a malaise they are susceptible to committing other errors as a matter of routine.Any coach will tell their players that attitude can make the difference between a win and a loss in any game. This could apply to law enforcement, except for the fact that police work is not a game and losing is not an option.
2. TOMBSTONE COURAGE
When you wear a badge every day your courage is a given and does not need to be proven on every call. In some cases, police work is best done when done as a team. Do not hesitate to enthusiastically give and patiently wait for backup.Sometimes it’s just plain smart to slow things down or even disengage.
3. NOT ENOUGH REST
An old veteran told a rookie, “To survive this career all you have to do is pay attention!”Being alert is a necessity in law enforcement, and you can’t do that when you are sleepy or asleep.
4. TAKING A BAD POSITION
On every call, with every suspect, on every approach, you must evaluate your position constantly. You must know how to use cover, concealment, barriers and relative positioning to your advantage.5. MISSING DANGER SIGNS
Prior to most attacks, there are usually indications that an assault is imminent. Recognize changes in a suspect’s muscular tension, an increase in respirations, modified offensive stances, offensive hand positioning, glances toward exits, looking for witnesses, checking out your weapon, furtive movements, signaling toward accomplices and verbal threats to do you harm. Learn to recognize danger signs and never explain them away. Avoid developing technological tunnel vision.When you are in contact with the public, look up and look out. Get your head out of your apps!
6. FAILURE TO WATCH THE SUSPECT’S HANDS
The hands kill. Throughout every call and contact, “WATCH THE HANDS!”7. RELAXING TOO SOON
If you are able to convince yourself that alarms are false before you arrive on scene, you are probably an officer who is “routinely” relaxing too soon on most of your contacts.Officers must resist the tendency to relax when they confront compliant suspects, because feigning compliance is a common criminal tactic. If you find one suspect, one weapon, one explosive device, one of anything dangerous, do not relax. Continue the search for more. Remember, nothing is “routine.”
8. IMPROPER USE OR NO USE OF HANDCUFFS
If a suspect is arrested and transported, policies all over the nation require that they be handcuffed. Officers should be as proficient with multiple tactical handcuffing techniques as they are with their firearms.9. NO SEARCH OR POOR SEARCH
In today’s world, criminals can buy clothes that have secret compartments, within which they can conceal weapons, drugs, contraband and fruits of a crime. It is imperative that every arrested suspect be searched thoroughly. Search the suspect’s person incident to arrest as well as the lunge area. Then search them again before you take them into the jail. Additionally, you must search every suspect turned over to you for transport by other officers.10. DIRTY OR INOPERABLE WEAPON
You should neither leave firearms training, nor hit the streets with a dirty weapon. Some officers never take the time to truly learn how to field strip their weapon and when that happens they stop properly cleaning their weapons. Before beginning your shift make certain long guns are “squad ready.” There should be no firearm in your squad that you can’t quickly access and bring into the fight under stress. Take care of your weapons and they will take care of you.You will notice the chief said they will use this footage in their training for the right things to do like self applying a tourniquet. He does not mention the stupid things he did, that will be included in the classroom. I'm sorry, but I would impress on this officer he needs to rethink his tactics or his career path.
ONE LESS PUNK WASTING AIR! Well done! How many innocent people, OF ALL COLORS, would this punk have killed, raped, stolen from, etc.
