"I'm bleedin' bad!" …..good.
bad cops. damn
Homie thought he was sooo cool, toying with the cops, putting that gun to his head. That's an old trick, pulled by perps that know they're outgunned. – They try to shift the mode of the cops by making it a suicide issue. Then, when the cops let their guard down, the perp opens fire on them. – But Ol' Homie wasn't so keen on harm to himself when he got his wrist blown off. He's lucky to be alive. His fortune, our misfortune.
Well my dude, people are rarely bleeding good after a gunshot wound. Bad is pretty much the default.
SPOILERS, You’re gonna bother takin 3 minutes putting handcuffs on the idiot, that you just shot 15 times bleeding to death, lying face down in his own blood and shit surrounded by 8 other armed police officers… before you retrieve the trauma kit?
And Again These Officers Have Zero Basic Shield Protection
You have 30 seconds to do it yourself or we will expedite the matter!
that cop be like – you're not shooting yourself today that's our job.
3 cops all with rmr’s and he was only hit once that’s crazy. Very lucky to be alive.
1:21 GET ON GROUND!!
Female cop: Okay! 😵
Shitty shooting !!!!!! Humdrum…….
I hate those suicide by cops situations
Wow, what a lucky perp…
Thank You Officers!!!!
What would our society look like without courageous enforcers
like you?
Kamala Harris will bail him out of jail.
Dude said “get on the ground bro†with so much authority that even the lady cop decided to get down. Super helpful
More time at the shooting range perhaps? Jezzzzzz.
Look at that quota hire , she didn’t know what to do
Mom would be proud he had clean underwear
These cops need more training, how do you fire that many shots and not finish the job? even all the air was let out of the car tyre but not this idiot. Did Officer 3 even fire a shot or is she just there to watch?
Where was the threat? He never pointed it at them. Is closing the door justification?
From I'll shoot myself to im bleeding bad and im dying lol. At least you got the taste of it.
It is amazing how fast he went from "I'm gonna kill myself" to "I'm bleeding bad, I'm dying man!"
Well isn't that what you said you wanted 15 seconds ago? The actual fear that one is actually dying sure does change one's outlook on life.
3:34 kinda sounded like a really angry Michael Scott to me
I couldn’t be a cop I swear
Him: “I’ll shoot myselfâ€Â
Me:we’ll get to it sir
Sharp shooting masters.
What happened he wanted to die and then he changed his mind. I hope he learned Domestic Violence and Kidnapping is not okay…💜
You Wanted To Bleed Or Not? Make Up Your MindðŸ˜â€
all those shots, seemed to have hit the rear quarter panel of the vehicle. Imagine if all of those hit their mark!
Up to 15 shots fired and only a wrist injury?
Put the gun down man. Put the gun down man. PUT THE GUN DOWN NOWWWW!
"Oh wow I only hit you once in the wrist? I got to get these sights adjusted"
Hopefully he will be back on the streets soon helping set more crime and murder records to the nearest democrat controlled crap hole city. My new entertainment!!!
So they didnt want him to commit suicide. But once he closed the door, they wanted to blow his brains tf out. It's a f^^^ joke. I know why they shot him. They could no longer see if their life was in danger.
female dont work for this job ….other exemple more ..!
He didn't want to get shot, but he did everything to get shot 🤦â€Â♂ I'll never understand criminals' logic
Female cop was as useful as a blade of grass.
I don’t understand why the cops shot at him for closing the door?
Extremely good commercial for that car company.
I likely missed the act that precipitated the barrage. I see the guy reach out, close the car door and the shooting begins. Why did the shooting begin at that point?
So, he went from wanting to put a bullet in his head to crying about a shot to the wrist. This generation….
The way that female officer jumped when the dude closed the car door and the two male officers immediately mag dumped him… I just imagine her inner monologue being something like, "WTF guys." I admire her restraint in her choice to not also mag dump the dude… She would probably have been more accurate. I cannot believe he lived.
“Quick he’s gonna kill him self shoot himâ€Â
Both cops had RMR’s and perp only got hit in the wrist?!? He’s rather lucky I’d say….funny how perp was ready to blow his own brains out but then was freakin out from just his wrist being shot? One down, thousands to go.
I think someone needs more time at the range….
You can tell that Officer was so in shock he had no idea what to do, yet amazing training kicked in and this situation turned out a lot better than it could have. Straight to de-escalation techniques. Its refreshing seeing how proper training and good intentions can make the most out of such a bad situation regardless of how head strong the Officer is in that moment (too an extent) compared to some of the more hot headed Officers such as a few recent examples from Chicago's PD.
"Don't shoot youself!! Let us do it instead!!"
Poor marksmanship.
