Why not wait for these warrants to be served when the person is out in the open. Take them by surprise. Unbelievable how this keeps happening 😢
Cops aren't the sharpest tool in the tool box
well know he is in possession of firearms kind of ups the urgency to get him to be fair
I would agree. But could you see a recording of white cops taking down a black man in public and how the media would spin it.
Well because these G.I. JOE WANNABES think they're INVINCIBLE!!! GUESS THEY WERE WRONG!!
@sirken2 he was ACCUSED of having a firearm with zero evidence. They went to kill him plain and simple and he took 4 of the rats down with him.
Your local judges keep letting these people out? You should look at them .
Judges let's them out because it's the privileged Blak race. The new minority are Latinos and whites.
Standard practice. Bond money is money. The system is a loop.
One random black guy took out a department of testosterone and hgh provided gravyseals with a billion in tax funded training and resources and this happens. I’d say that defines systemic failure on many levels within the justice system as a whole.
...the USA has been running unconstitutional for decades. There are consequences. On top of that, the communist insurrection and foreign entity treason....There are thousands of people wrongly put in jail or murdered just like WACO. With that much failure, the repair to American Freedom and Sovereignty is going to be expensive as the government owes blood. It just is.
Its a bigger problem than just that...
Can you say surveillance and covert tactics?
What's funny?
Stupidest police department of the year award goes too
Lol this isn't a spy novel. The cops are like belligerent buffalo.

@@kennethbaker5223 Your deflection is predictable. This was an arrogant, and lazy approach. An utter failure of very basic planning.
Ninjas probably scared that these police officers might kill them, and then get paid leave.
History would prove them right. The cops got their rear handed to them this day however.
Sad.
As we say in the Marine corps this was a complete klusterfuk

What was the department of corrections doing serving a felony gun warrant?
Department of corrections has been serving warrants since the first guy broke out of prison and they went to find him. If you escape prison or are wanted while on parole or for a violation and they are planning on taking you right back to prison. The BoP the Us Marshalls and DOC of that state might all go after you nowadays together.

A copy of liberal Hollywood gun violence.
Sadly, a friend of mine did that while his wife was sitting in a cop car watching and begging them not to kill him. He was obviously having psych problems and they shot him. He never fired his weapon (AR15). He was shot while holding a knife.

I'm 76, America was headed in the wrong direction on your birthday. Read the history of civilizations over the last several thousands of years. I'd doubt that current civilization will reverse what the result has been EVERYTIME.
This is all done by design from the radical left
I agree but the vast, overwhelmingly majority of violent crimes, including gun crimes, come from just 13% of our population. How can we do anything when noone, even the group itself will acknowledge the problem?
Four hours? With all the firearm/tools the police has?
Near the end of the standoff, SWAT used the Kill Dozier to tear the house almost down to the ground. That's how they ended the 4 hour standoff

Definitely not in Biden's America. When Trump is leader, hopefully he will give officers free reign to do what needs to be done, and be properly equipped and much better funded, so that this can never happen again.
It’s awesome. They don’t have their hand’s tied. Some departments are full of entitled privileged authoritarians. Spoiled brats. They dress up like special forces ; they’re not. Some departments do good work. Many are corrupted with incompetence. Just the way it is.

Prayers to officers 👮♀️ families 💙
That one cop Josh had rape allegations. The other two were also being looked at for assault on a child.
my heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the family and friends on their loss. I'm overwhelmed with the news, 🙏 RIHP
This is so sad 😢 sending prayers for the five officers families 🙏
One dude outshot the police; he only had an AR-15; how did that happen?
Pretty easily. Most police officers only practice a few times per year. Rifles are easier to aim accurately than pistols.
It seems very poorly executed by LE.. But the 2 things the shooter had was element of surprise and he had the high ground shooting down from a concealed upstairs window…
It said he saw them coming and started shooting from upstairs.
It’s called a sucker punch it’s what cowards do
He literally had an AR-15. That's a military weapon.
How was the suspect shot in the front lawn?
He too a break
The real story is the mysterious unnamed ones. notice they are glossed over.
Front or back lawn, don't care. At least one more BLM character is in hell now.
I sure im wrong but if i had to guess maybe ran out of ammo, stepped outside to try to give up and got properly lit up?
He was already outside waiting for them.
29 children died in Uvalde TX.
Because the police stood around and did nothing. When seconds count, you're on your own. The police won't save you.

they refused to release the audio. there was no lawful basis, but we all know that lawlessness is the law.
Two different scenarios. Uvalde was innocent children and worthless cops. This was innocent cops and another privileged George Floyd character. If this country keeps on catering to this race, this will only get worse. Wish my Latinos get privileged one day like these characters. Viva Cuba!!
Absolutely
wtf was a department of corrections officer there
Just like those security guards think that they are cops
DOC also does fugitive recovery, they aren't just jail guards.
They would've been better off sending the bails bondsman to pick him up
Being in the middle of charlotte and Raleigh, I never would have imagined something like this would happen over in that direction.
I live about 30 minutes outside of Charlotte and I fully knew something like this could possibly happen. Charlotte has gotten terrible over the last 10 years. The city I live in is nicknamed Shotsbury for this very reason. People are shooting and killing each other left and right. They don’t care who you are or your job title. A infant was actually shot in my city just last week. It’s getting very scary out there.

Police should of had Bazookas. Oh wait, if the cops had Bazookas the 2nd Admin folks would insist that every patrirot on the street has to have Bazookas as well. Everyone must have Arms to keep America Free; soldiers, cops, law abiding folks, thugs, school kids ... Its all just Arms all the way down. And the death merchants and undertakers just keep getting richer.
Sky worshippers are a special kind of stupid. When pregnant woman dies in their house or on a bus by a stray bullet Cons be like "if only they had a gun"! Pro gun= PRO GUNFIRE ABORTION. How about YOU show us how u would "defend yourself" when a stray bullet goes thru ur trailer while ur asleep
Trying to pass gun control in a country that is the world biggest arms dealer will never work. As long as millions of guns are made each year it will never work. Gun control will work only if you decrease the amount of guns being manufactured.
So the first shooter was shot on his front lawn......suicide by cop. So who ELSE was shooting from inside that house?
His family

@@rael5469 Literally google it, the department themselves told how it happened, there was a second shooter who opened fire after they shot the first one and moved in to grab the wounded. open your eyes some or just google the incident, details change over time,
There was only ONE shooter. The other people in the house were trapped there.
@@GreatBigRanz Not according to the report. As they approached the body of the shooter they said other shots rained down on them from the house's upper story.
This is so not normal.
Pretty normal for the black community.
That's what happens when a judge let offenders with a long record go free
that happens here
Cops going to somebody's house to brutalize them but got brutalized themselves!!
These cops are going to have to ask the question: "Is it worth it?" Is it worth trying to take guns away from people that aren't bothering you or the citizens? FAFO.
What was the reason for the show of force?what was the crime he was accused of?sounds like he defended better than the attackers
Obviously they new he was an arm convicted felon. Not hard if you used common sense
He had multiple felony warrants, including gun charges, and was 100s of miles away from where he was supposed to be.
You can't be this naive. He was known to be violent and to have weapons illegally. Does that answer your question?
I thought you can't be this fucking dumb with google readily available, but then again people like you always seem to prove me wrong

There is no such thing as an "assault style rifle" Either its a rifle or it ain't.
Sounds good for tv I guess
The ignorants eat that nonsense up
Are some rifles not better at rapid fire than others? Ie a bolt action five round .308 isn't as "assaulty" as say a semi-auto magazine fed style rifle? I mean c'mon my dude, you can play stupid all you want, but people are in fact, not as dumb as you think.
@@AlexR_44It's easy to tell where the logic stops in this conversation. sooo... if a semi automatic rifle is more assualt--"y" because it can make more pew pew noises without having to be manually chamber a round.

This is what happens when the military trains the police. 4 hours of mag-dumping with no regard for what they’re aiming at in a neighborhood full of civilians… remember that kidnapped girl who was gunned down by San Bernardino sheriffs?
And no one will ever receive compensation for damages, loss of life, etc. They tell them to contact their insurance.

“The suspect was shot dead on his front lawn” meaning that the guy surrendered and police didn’t want to hear it.
Or he came out with a gun aimed at people.

Am not police, am retired USMC. Initially, the advantage is usually with defense not offense. Prepared position with cover and concealment, supplies, ammunition, water etc are in place. Fortified. Practiced. Seems to me these police need to rethink going to a home in daylight. Am I correct?
