Sgt Green is a boss. Immediately reacted, pulled the POS away from his partner and into a location where the Applebee’s wasn’t a backstop, drew quickly, and stopped the threat.
He also pushed away a table setting as they walked past so the POS wouldn’t use it as a weapon. Turns out he had a gun anyway.
The other officer only discharges her weapon after the POS is down. I’m not LEO and while I don’t think it matters in the grand scheme of things, that probably wasn’t ok?
She didn’t do anything wrong. Like Euro said, he still had the gun and they had no way of knowing if he was still active. And yeah, Sgt Green is pretty much a boss. He handled everything from the initial contact to the gun about as good as you could ask.
Looks like body cams worked great here. Everyone who’s interested can see exactly what happened. No anonymous witness “he didn’t do nuffin” sort of claims.
WTF. At first I though it was a training video. What special kind of stupid is in the water. Hopefully this idiot died before having a chance to procreate.
Sgt. Green was quick on the draw and on target quick. Very cool under pressure. Looked like the female officer drew a taser first and the guy was still moving when she fired on him. Both handled it very well IMO.
This is some incredible footage. It also shows that no matter the situation, it can go south damn quick. It really did seem like the guy wanted to die though. I am glad both LEO’s are safe, and they will easily be cleared in this as a good shoot. Anyone else notice that Green moved the silverware on the table as they were walking out so the suspect wouldn’t be able to grab it and use it as a weapon? He seems like a very good Officer. Great situational awareness.
