Bodycam video released by the Clovis Police Department shows the moments before officer Chris Caron was shot in the leg while attempting to arrest a man on a felony warrant. Officer Caron stopped a bicyclist, who identified himself as Anthony Baca, in the 900 block of Wallace Street late last month for a traffic violation.
The video continues as Baca tries to leave the scene on foot after Caron stated he was under arrest for an outstanding warrant. Caron can be seen running after the suspect and deploying his taser during the chase, which ended after a gun was fired and the officer went down. Authorities later said Caron was shot in the left thigh and was taken to an area hospital in stable condition.
Baca was taken into custody two days later without incident and booked into the Curry County jail. He faces felony assault charges.
The Clovis Police Department said it chose to release the video to highlight the bravery of Caron and other officers, as well as the outpouring of support shown by the Clovis community.

"Where are ya, 19??!!!!"
You get stopped and screened when riding your bike in the road in America, sounds like a dangerous place
That guy's not white, bad description
Anthony Baca, Mexican. Not White.
I hate when people ask me 1000 questions especially if they are personal
Dude was only riding a Bike, why cops had to ask so many personal questions, the Moral is :
If you get too Nosy, you will get sh0t.
They sense when the cop is too nice, a bit beta and with some white guilt complex and take advantage of it. First, why he had to have a small talk about the reason they could possibly have a warrant for arrest on the suspect?
Second, he pursues him in the darkness by himself with a taser? He just asked to be abused.
Tasers are very badly made.
The company which makes them must be ashamed.
Great job Blue!!!! Youre the man bro
This is why "use a taser" is a dumb idea. It usually doesn't work effectively, and why resisting arrest and running from police can lead to very bad things quickly.
Crazy thing bout it is he was so nice because he had the complexion for the protection if he was black it would have been a different angle
All police officers should make 100 grand a year !!!
Tasers huh?!! I am beginning to grow suspect of these tasers and manufactures that make them, their effectiveness seems to have declined in the past few years. Of the many LEO videos I've watched, more tased suspects aren't phased by it as opposed the period they first came into use by law enforcement officers. It seems like department or municipal purchasing agents are buying non US made products, because I remember the first model use knock suspects on their ass and they stayed there pissing themselves. These tasers need to be re-evaluated, whats the use of having them if it has no effects on suspects.
Did he live?
Haha he started crying real quick when he heard that pop
Great plan… did this guy really think he would get away with shooting a cop?
this seems way older than 2016
Runner is a dick. Felony assault charges?
If the officer had been hit in the femoral artery it would have been murder.
Why did the thumbnail looks like a cop pointing a gun at a butthole?
3:00 that Dispatcher needs to not say that one is en route
And they want to defund the police and replace them with social workers lmfao. This has to be one of the most impossible jobs I've seen.
Taser really works
Screw less-than-lethal in most cases. That taser deployment could have easily cost this officer, his life.
He took his jacket 🧥 off trying to get loose, officer was very nice 🙂 though not disrespect ar all
He told him not to ride in the middle of the street and the road rule.
THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN THAT!
There was Zero reason to start all the questions .
That would've saved him that hole in his ass.
SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES!
That guy isSo stupid, a $5000 warrant he would have been out tomorrow at most two weeks. Now he is looking at 20plus years.
Update: He was sentenced to 34 1/2 years
WAIT…THE OFFICER Approach a civilian at night, without his taser or firearm drawn, or screaming get down on the ground, and obviously he wasn’t in fear for his life. This encounter is the perfect example of how racial bias, and false security can cause police to lose their life, or end up on trial for an unjustified shooting. There was a time when I was totally against defunding and retraining of law-enforcement officers, but the more police cam footage I research the more I am realizing that the anti-police community may actually be right.
You ever wonder why cops always want to see hands or why they’re always on edge…..there you go
This scum bag got 34 years.
Is this Ashton cutcher playing a cop?
„Mkay“
This is a big reason why cops need to have an ear piece especially ones who run a persons info via the radio because now he knows he has something at least wouldn’t hear the dispatcher and the cop could keep stalling saying they haven’t got back with him yet and conduct the arrest when they get there
This cop sounded like Donut Operator in the beginning.
Ok but why all the dumb questions
"Get away from me essay" – Me when my mum was trying to give me a bath when I was a kid.
All he did was increased his sentencing. It would suck to have to be on the run 24/7
mm okay mm okay mm okay
AN UPDATE TO THE CHARGES!
He is now serving a total of 34.5 years for the reasons quoted below:
"Reeb said Baca was taken to trial on four other cases which included Shooting a Police Officer, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and two drug cases. He was found guilty in all four cases and received maximum sentences."
While I personally think that attempted murder should have been added too, I also believe that going from 35 years of age to almost being 70 is enough for what his involvements were.
I hear that fucking train. That shit use to keep me up every night
This is Clovis so I’m not surprised. Officers in this town are about as aggressive as those in Chicago. I lived there for a year and people got killed every night and the towns like 30,000 people
U can find him by the house by the grill
Looked and acted like Hispanic. Over the wall amigo.
Officer….dowwnnnn 😢
White male… his accent his features and his name are not white
Good the Pig Dog gets shoot. What do he think he can shoot some one whit out being shoot.
Why not ask if he got weapons?
The cop sounds like Kenny Powers after he gets shot
The perp shot him WHILE being tased. those tasers are not just ineffective, they are dangerous
