@@NocturnalPyro Hunters are allowed to own guns, hunters exist and need to exist for animal population control in order to preserve a good balance, especially in places with invasive species like boars. Sweden is one of the most gun populated countries in the world, yet gun violence in Sweden wasn't bad until gangs started going crazy.
@@NocturnalPyro what makes you think that gun laws prevent access to guns? Criminals gain access to firearms all the time when they should not have them.
@@NocturnalPyro Sadly, the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" applies to all sorts of things, and criminals WILL find a way to obtain guns regardless of how heavily restricted (or even banned) they are in the area, that's just a fact. And if said area was heavily regulated too much, there wouldn't have been civilians to help the cops like there was in this situation. Gotta strike a good balance, cause too many guns means too much possibility for bad people to nab em, but too few means that barely any of the sane ones can defend themselves if it comes to it.
@@NocturnalPyroif you think any gun control law has or ever will slow down, let alone outright stop criminals from acquiring guns you are either lying or are so privileged and sheltered that you are completely out of touch with reality.
@@overlordmateus407 💯%! It was definitely something cool to see. My husband is also an Army Veteran & our sons like to give him crap abt he's getting old & rusty. & That's how family is ragging on each other & I'm sure ppl have joked w\those guys too. But it was VERY impressive how quickly they reacted w\o even having to speak to each other abt you grab, I'll cover etc or however. They just immediately responded took control & were STILL able to follow commands &work as a team w\the officers who they had never even met until that day. That was 💯% instinct & training! Which I guess really does go to show, once a soldier, always a soldier! Absolutely nothing rusty there! & This was RIGHT after the other officer told them they'd handle it & they could put away their firepower & I think he said something about them going inside but I'm not for sure if that was what he said & to whom did he say it. So they had kinda "relaxed" & probably assumed their part was over & just wanted to watch the take down & the CRAZY trash talking gun-wielding neighbor! But it wasn't even a whole MINUTE later that all hell broke out &quicker than I could blink they'd jumped into immediate action & not even out of breath or anything! Just calm, cool, collected, & in control! Reflexes! I'm definitely gonna show this to my husband. I bet he'll appreciate it too! Also, he really misses the action. Settling back down to civilian life has been a bit challenging for him! Lol. 💖
That was good of them but I definitely understand them want to shoot and kill him if he's this dangerous and threatening if defenseless family nah I feel the same way he can't come back around my people anymore idc if we have a problem if you can get me when I try to stay ready for anything that's on me but family is another story they should not be scared to leave the house to go outside! And that officer spitting was driving me crazy not spitting part I understand he was shot but I want to know exactly what was making him do it bbs blood or did something bust and go in his mouth
@@UnDeFineDvProDucTion his discipline and control is what impressed me. He was calm and offered those cops proper cover. I think he’s waited for the day he would get back at that nut.
@thewhitelodgery it depends on the location and situation the armed good civilians were actively helping the cops get to safety and help with basic aid
Am glad I have neighbors with guns as a liberal even for him we still defend each other no matter what, we even have cookouts we both saw this video and were bless that their people out their that will protect thy neighbors ☺️🇺🇸
The fact that civilians and a trained veteran stepped in to defend the officers after they were wounded goes to show that there is still faith in humanity for this world. They had zero hesitation in jumping forward to protect the officers. I truly hope they were awarded a medal of honor by the police department or something for their actions.
I bet the 2 neighbors wouldn't of had to take a year off work if they got shot by some stray bb's from birdshot either! But then again the officers paid leave for a year is paid for with tax dollars which is like a free money glitch so nobody really cares so nobody will question the excessive amount of paid leave compensation, because you know, they got a owie while doing their job that their already paid very well to do by tax dollars and benefits that would suit a king, allegedly because of situations like these and the risk!!! So they're milking the tax payers double, without any questions?!?
@@BleedingWhiteKnuckles you have ZERO idea what you're talking about. They were SHOT. You have ZERO clue what kind of trauma that does to you. You seriously want 2 officers who were shot back in the line of duty a few weeks after nearly dying? Use your brain. That's a recipe to have themselves or someone innocent killed. Even soldiers who are wounded in the line of duty are given a certain time period to recover mentally and physically. Those are your tax dollars too. Nothing to say about them?? Think before you speak/ type.
@@redmengoals3295 making sure USD is the world’s reserve currency through the petroldollar scheme and also making sure that other countries do not trade their oils with any other currency BUT the USD, so again, it remains as the world’s reserve currency. With a huge population, if Asia and Africa develop rapidly, the share of the US' economy shrinks, then the Euro could replace it as the world's reserve currency. When that happens, the US would no longer be able to print money out of nothing without a hyper inflation like Venezuela. Then the size of the US economy has to fall back to the fundamentals, which today is quite a lot smaller than the inflated economy. That's why no country in Eurasia is allowed to catch up with the US' economy. When Japan was catching up fast on the US in the 1980s, they were knocked down to a three decade stagnancy by appreciating the Japanese Yen. And in the last 30 years, the US created conflicts, wars and color revolutions in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa to destabilise the Eurasia-Africa supercontinent. When the US prints a lot of money, other countries' foreign reserves in dollars shrink in value. Furthermore, to prevent exports to the US becoming expensive, these countries have to print money too, which devalues the savings of the people, and causing inflations in these countries. It's estimated that our savings devalue by 6-9% per year after the abolishment of the gold-backed Bretton Woods system, after which the US prints money based on just the creditability of the dollar. North America is relatively easy to defend, in fact it is noted to be among the few naturally best defendable region in the world, yet the US has a military budget more than the total of the next 9 countries in the top 10, to protect the dollar with its 800 military bases worldwide. Yeah, *That’s why* That’s also why the humongous oil reserves that they discovered in Alaska(?) Canada(?) won’t even matter, because it’s not about who have the biggest natural oil reserves in the world, it’s about where that oil is circulated toward and what currency it is funneled into. To be the world's reserve currency, the dollar must be circulated in the world. The US created a huge consumption-based economy and shifted manufacturing outside, so that dollars flow out of the US to product suppliers like China or Japan. To make products, China and Japan need energy. The US created the Petrol-dollar scheme, so that dollar is circulated to Saudi. With the US stock and financial market much more lucrative than other countries, the dollars from Saudi are attracted back to the US. Money printed in the US to exchange for goods from outside eventually ends up with the Wall Streets, where the rich gets richer. And that completes the cycle of circulation of the dollars. So basically, non of that, “I’m fighting for my country’s freedom goddamnit!!!!21!”, it’s sheer business, like what Trump said, and like any bussiness, the easiest way to rise up to the top is by making others fall. It’s the exact reason why Venezuela failed economically even though they hold the biggest oil reserves in the world, why Saddam Hussein was hunged when said he would start selling oil in Euros not Dollars, why Gaddafi was killed by US-backed NTC because he made Libya export oil in Gold Dinars instead of Dollar, why Iran was being sanctioned by the US because they’ve been trading oil in currencies other than US dollars since 2011 (mainly with Russia), and.. the best part.. why US would vehemently back Israel up with billions of dollars in military and economical means-because? Well they Biden said it himself, the US would have to invent an Israel if there was no Israel, because Israel as a whole, their Zionism principles in a literal way agreed to work with anybody and do anything as long as it can guarantee their existence and the “retaking” of their land through any possible means, which in short, USA is turning Israel into their mediator, a branch of the USA that would dominate and control the flow of the USD so that it would remain as the world’s reserve currency. They tried it with Iraq but failed, with Libya by implanting a pro-US prime minister but failed too because the pro-US PM did it’s citizens worse than the previously villainified PM (Gaddafi). Oh my god it’ll be a whole essay If I’m going to explain it all here, I would reccomend you to just research it, and make sure to use multiple sources and references on a singular topic so as to not be mistakenly “washed” by biases nor manipulative narrations.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420He meant to say threats, it's the oath of enlistment you take when joining the U.S Military. However anyone that fires at a police officer is considered a terrorist. Terrorist doesn't mean middle eastern with a beard who blows himself up. Go look up the definition.

"A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state..." At least one veteran in the group, they knew enough to keep the bad guy under fire long enough to evacuate the wounded officers. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms is important for many reasons, this being only one. Well done, guys, well done!
I find it kind of funny becuase the mad man probably thinks the same thing his thinking this cops are being tyrannical. In his mind his defending his rights.
It’s kinda surprising but it is Maple Falls. If it was closer to “in town” (next biggest town over), that level of prepared wouldn’t have likely happened.
I loved how the cop took position up behind him, really respecting that he was there to help and he was on point. It was just a really cool thing to see, people in a dangerous situation with training acting tactically regardless of position.
@@jarednagel9058The cop was probably glad for competant cover. I assume their initial backup was 2 people, but seeing as the first 2 deputies are out, the backup are probably glad they've got people who have seen combat before
Those crazy neighbors kept those officers alive thank god they survived and made a recovery. Jesus christ that's a scary situation. And the fact dude was laughing about it means he hit rock bottom and didn't care who went with him. Dangerous mental state
This gave me goosebumps the moment the two civilians immediately took action. Even after seeing the two officers shot down, they still went forward, pulling them into protection and firing back. Bless them. They desrve recognition by the county AT LEAST.
@@UnOriginalSuicyde A veteran wouldn't be crying about getting shot in the face by BBs, and they sure wouldn't be driving themselves to get aid, veterans wouldn't have missed the shot, and they wouldn't be ducking and cowering, and you would hear a lot more cuss words.
The neighbors that came together to protect their neighborhood did awesome, especially the two that provided cover and aid to the wounded officers. Every community needs a group of guys like this.
@@JAB-bc9uv unfortunately women weren’t bearing arms at this point in time. And they would need a license to anyway, which I doubt any of them did since no one else came out to help
@@avis21X And the women were probably in the house keeping any kids and pets calm, quiet and contained to keep them safe. Everyone has a role to play and that was likely theirs. I mean no one wants a kid or the family dog to go outside to see what's going on and then get shot by the crazy neighbour.
@@JAB-bc9uv I was generalizing. My wife is part of my team if we gotta deal with crap like these people did. I say women need to be encouraged to get a CCW, training with it and always keeping it on them plus training with a main battle rifle.
When the veteran said he protects against all terrorists foreign or domestic gave me chills. My older brother is also a veteran, I could see him doing the same thing.
Watching officers who know everyone around them has a gun, and do not treat any of them like a criminal…. Only arm up when they know it was needed, that is a very respectful and well trained set of individuals. Hell of a good representation of their shield! All of our officers should behave this way ❤️
Well yeah, people in this neighborhood of Washington with guns is way different than people walking around Compton with them, so way easier to not treat them like criminals lol.
@@theonefrancis696 "bringing more weapons in the street" Lmao. Like there aren't hundreds of millions in circulation. A single round could have stopped all this had a neighbor been armed. Instead, other people almost died.
Just copying someone else's comment: The problem with handing that out (medals) to civilians in a situation like this is that it will encourage vigilantism. As much as you me the police and everyone else wants vigilantism to properly exist it will be abused by too many people to make the awarding of the metal to the neighbor's worth it. They know in their hearts why they did it and what they did and I guarantee if you ask them they would tell you they don't need a metal to prove their worth. Absolutely outstanding citizenship
@@FINtr0ll99 we have a lot of people like this in America, willing to stand with their fellow citizens, but we also have a government which is discouraging that kinda of patriotism…
it was only birdshot. they think its buckshot given the peppering but in the end they confirmed he was only using birdshot. buckshot at that distance would have done a lot more damage and they wouldnt be talking about it.
Something about seeing an officer stacked up behind a civilian holding an angle just warms my heart. Seeing an armed civilian and a cop working together to protect those behind them is what America should be all about.
“I doubt it was a slug because I wouldn’t be here” is absolutely crazy to say after being shot in the face, like accident dark humor in the moment. Like cops or don’t like cops I think everyone can agree that is badass.
I don’t even think that was dark humor, he was simply telling another officer why he thinks it’s bird shot, like you said though, absolutely wild thing to say but I’m glad it wasn’t buckshot.
There is a show called Body Cams on ID or Discovery. This was on it. It is a crazy show and shows just how crazy stuff gets. Body Cams have saved more cops than they hurt. You hear people say stuff like "no way they did that when cops have a gun" or "That is very unlikely a person would do that". When you watch though it's true people do crazy stuff even with a armed cop right there.
I love the supportive reactions from the officers when they hear the story about the neighbors stepping up to return fire and help their injured officers.
@@jussin4k What you are talking about wont change human nature nor make unstable people more stable. If firearms didn’t fall into the hands of unstable people, we wouldn’t have these issues either. Every idiot has one now days and a lot of them cant wait to use it. We might as well go back to the wild west days.
The neighbors deserve some recognition for their heroism and civility. They did the right thing by involving police and not taking justice into their own hands; and when the time came for them to act they did not hesitate. God bless them.
@@MAGAland2024 i hope so. I looked up the article that covered it and the only recognition of the citizens was from quotes by the officer. I hope it is found elsewhere but I couldn't find it.
Man God bless these men and women who wake up everyday and put their lives on the line. And God bless those good samaritans that helped the cops that was awesome!
Some people don’t like to be exposed to the public. I am that type too. I don’t need people to know about it. I just help out of my heart not just to shownit on camera. Same with these two dudes.
Its complicated, one of the neighbours was a nazi 88, you can see the tatoo..... and the shooter told when was in police car, he can live arount theses peoples.
I guarantee they got a tab opened for them at the local cop bar at the minimum. Might not be in the papers or anything official, but those coppers and their mates will remember them and look out for em. Maybe they will help you with a one off deal on disposing of "hunting refuse" JK's aside I'm sure they got recognition from the rank and file coppers in town.
Glad they are alright and made a full recovery but man those neighbors are badass for that.. they deserve the upmost respect from the community and officers and should be awarded a medal
@@HingleMacCringleberry ahh damn I didn’t hear that part.. that sucks a lot but gotta think positive sometimes from bad situations. he’s still with his family is the most important thing
The guy that said he was a veteran didn't seem to be there at the moment. It was actually the bigger guy with the goatee and the older gentlemen that we see help the moment they were shot. I wouldn't be surprised if the goatee guy is a veteran as well though with the way he reacted. The guy who said he was a veteran was likely helping off camera as well so your probably not wrong.
@Daduz_75 you're just hating on cops for no reason. Some cops are down right sadistic but here there's an obvious "bad guy" and it's not the cops my dude get your head checked or stop committing crimes to make you hate the cops lmao
I just find it so bad ass how fast the neighbors reacted. They respected the situation to let police handle it. When that didnt work, they provided assistance. I like hearing how grateful that cop felt that he had neighbors beside him while the other two officers seeked medical attention. He mentions on the radio when they are gearing up, "there is a bunch of civilians helping." And he also made sure to let his fellow officers know how they helped after the situation is taken care of.
@@Chewy_GarageBandDad Yes they went into combat mode. My father is a war veteran too and he was for the most part a quiet guy until he went into combat mode one time almost killing someone who was attacking him with his bare hands. Once a Marine Always a Marine 👍 I always say don’t mess with a veteran!
Every neighborhood needs good guys like those who aren't afraid to step up to protect another. It's exhausting having mentally ill neighbors like Young. This was emotional to watch.
Many years ago I was in a rough situation in life and I had an occurrence like this and I will never forget the hug from the officer and his family after helping, nobody should be afraid to help our law enforcement no matter where you come from.
I think most neighborhoods _do_ have guys like that. Fortunately most of us aren’t put in the position where officers will require our immediate assistance.
@@GRIM_MOD This is the mindset/comment from someone that wants to disarm the civilian population. Depending on the state, that neighbor will be sued into oblivion for coming to the rescue. This is the sad world we live in since communism was never stomped out back in the 40s.
Veteran showed his bravery and skill. Suppressed fire was needed to control the situation and immediately went to help the officer . God bless and thank you for your service. Cops thank you for your service. They tried to do a good job and accomplished it. Real men. Real cops
@@chillappreciator885 Well they do say two other neightbors was supressing fire with a long rifle and a shotgun. Pretty sure the veteran was one of those.

This is my hometown. It's a blessing that those neighbors weren't charged. The state laws may be far from perfect when it comes to defense of another or yourself but we've got a really, really good police force here. They're insanely patient and have an amazing response time for how spread out the populated areas are. I had an officer save my life when i was stabbed. The ambulance arrived in two minutes flat but he kept me from going into shock and bleeding out. We also have a mental health and homeless liason, who is a regular officer with extra training in mental health. I watched a mentally unwell man flick a lit cigaret into his face. His response was to take a deep breath and proceed to talk the man away from the store where he was bothering people and to an area where he was less of a nuisance. People may hate on cops but we are genuinely blessed in this area.
America, it's 2024, and you're still behaving in this gunhappy way while China takes over the world. In 2024, the United States doesn't even make the top ten most-free countries. And it only just makes the top 30 most-safe countries. You really are going to need to make changes or the world is going to overtake you and leave you behind. And this friendly comment comes from someone whose country knows quite a lot about such matters.
THIS!! THIS is what you do as responsible gun owners! PROTECT! So proud of how they stepped in and helped and protected the officers that were hurt. "I defend against all terrorists, foreign and domestic" just touched me. I would appreciate them in my neighborhood. Great job to all. ❤
That vet told you loud and clear "that is a threat" yall dont understand just how much that man leashed himself to let the cops get there and deal with it. Salute to you my brother
Yes when the cop tells them to stand down, the vet crosses his arms & leans back. I’m sure I’m not the only one who recognized that body language. That’s what a wife does when her husband (or mom does to her kid) that hasn’t been listening to her & is about to attempt something she knows is going to go badly. So she scoffs, crosses her arms & leans back as she says some version of “okay, go ahead.” (It’s not really permission as much as it is a dare that you continue with whatever you just told her you were going to do at your own peril. She’s leaning back to physically distance herself & get in a position to watch you suffer the consequences that she just warned you were coming if you proceeded.
Or it’s kinda awkward telling a cop that you are armed. Even though for the right reasons. They don’t know you and didn’t have the full story yet. He probably just kept his hands in a relaxed manner to keep everyone cool.
I mean... Considering they only returned fire in that one instance and didn't go in gun blazing taking the law into their own hands and all and had the patience to wait for a swat team and focus on defending and rendering aid to the wounded officers... They seemed to have a fair degree of self control and situational awareness to me and were more than fine with letting the cops handle things instead of starting a firefight in the middle of their neighborhood. Maybe a little pent up and anxious about the situation because of there being a clear and present danger to their families, but still. They didn't seem to be having any trouble keeping themselves from going awol.
@@marcpedneault3362 It's the same way where I live, cops want nothing to do with the methheads, but the methheads seem to stay out of yards where vets regularly fire ar10s ar15s etc...
@@poolee77 I think what he means is that when more people take law into their own hands, there is more risk of mistakes and aggressive interactions among the public. There are a lot of stupid people I wouldn't want running around exacting their own justice.
@DevilWolf000 what are you talking about? Crazy people are going to be crazy no matter what. The point is people in the community came together instead of running away in fear and allowing a crazy man to do whatever he wanted. A threat to one is a threat to all.
It's crazy how fast they reacted. No one freaked out. Two guys removed the sheriff and applied First Aid. Third Guy got the gun back and started returning fire.
I can’t imagine how scary it is to get shot in the face, the fear and then to feel like you were losing your sight. My god thank god they are ok. Such brave people!
Those neighbors are heroes, they saved those officers’ lives. I know they are deeply grateful by their actions. It’s good to hear that the two wounded are fully recovered
@@cruisinguy6024 I get what you are trying to say but those were actually pretty serious injuries. For example are you blind and can not see the amount of blood that officer is losing when he’s sitting in the garage also same with other cop standing up? You definitely tried and did downplay what the neighbors did. They were heroic and I bet the cops also would say the same. Have a great day though man just try not to contradict yourself in the future👌🏼
My husband was military police for 20 years and civilian police for the next 20... And I would never watch these types of videos until now (he's retired). To the neighbors who stepped up.. I salute you gentlemen❤
Amazing job by the neighbors. Honestly, I'm not surprised, heard the guy say "I'm a vet and I'll fight against terrorists foreign or domestic" those officers were not alone!!!
I've lived in this neighborhood for several years. My wife and I walk this street often when getting exercise. This is a street where people are friendly and always say hi and kids can play outside. I had the misfortune of meeting Joel several years before, but I had no idea he was that crazy. Glad everyone made it ok. Glad I live in a place where people look after each other. Joel's house still has a taped up window from this incident.
I'm so glad that your neighborhood is safe again with that wacko locked up. I pray that he doesn't get out... and that you all get new neighbors who are kind.🙋🏾♀️🙇🏾♀️🙌🏾
14:08 "Everybody's looking at the house, and I'm like, alright, this is my team. And I don't know who those two guys were, but they were great." As far as he knew, the official team was down, and all he had was the unofficial team, but it sounded like he would have been okay with that, if push came to shove.

Mental health is THE issue in America. Too many crazies, not enough funding for healthcare, so the public has to deal with it. Whether it's this kinda guy or some loony-tunes yelling at people on an NYC subway train. America really needs mental health medical interventions.
Mental health is a huge problem in America it seems in these last few years. Sure, the shooter was high as a kite but there was still major mental instability at play here.
As a Deputy and a USAF veteran, I am appreciative when I see civilians care enough to help us. This is an unfortunate story that officers were wounded but it’s also highlighted civilians willingness to intervene to help stop a threat.
“Fight all terrorists…foreign or domestic!” Mental health clearances from doctors should be required for licensed gun owners. We have drivers licenses.
"I don't know who those guys were but they're awesome." Then, "Do we know which houses they're at? Our assistance?" Those cops really appreciated that and probably plan to go give their thanks in person, later.
The state medal of honor should be awarded to these veterans that helped the injured officers and stayed to help the other officers. This is crazy. This just proves that veterans will do anything to keep their town safe.
And thats why i will always have total respect in our vets. Many have seen hell and will stand to protect every single one of us. Im proud to be raised by a vet and im thankful that one of these guys was a vet and protected these police officers. I hope someone shows this man and the civilians the honors they deserve.
I think it was natural but needed a reaction to being in danger, yet still under control (that's why cops train for years). He likely got a concussion too, which might be dangerous as you feel fine until you don't and you wake up a few days later.
I mean not to downplay it too much but it was just bird shot luckily for them it wasn't buckshot. And idk it's pretty questionable about the reaction time and choice of cover if they both got shot in the face.
This dude fires a shotgun at two cops then has the audacity to say he’s no threat to them. Truly deluded. Edit: Spelling. Thanks to everyone who corrected me nicely.
These cops were so calm and polite, I love how they interacted with neighbors and I'm so thankful those residents were armed and could help the officers. God Bless, and I'm glad you both are safe and recovered.
