Police bodycam video shows 'hero' officer confronting shooter at Allen Outlets 

Calmly ?? LOL

digger5521 He was very calm considering. You could do better?

I’m pretty sure he wasn’t Terrified or else he would of waited for back up..

As an LEO I can tell you he wasn't terrified. He didn't have time for that to enter his mind. What you mistaken for terror was pure 100% adrenaline!

he was motivated, not terrified. Constantly moving forward and communicating in a command voice. an equalizer, he terrified.

The Uvalde cops would have run away

You can be scared or afraid but that doesn’t mean you can’t fight back. What matters is whether you let it control what you do, or not.

ONE brave officer at a mass shooting? While every shot I hear in these long 5minutes could be an innocent life taken. He seemed a little timid (untrained?) to me. How many shots did I hear? Did the perp have a long gun? WHAT WAS the total body-count? Tragic.

@@vettevegasYou're not very bright are you???

@@vettevegasExactly. It's government

​@bubba328 I would say most aren't cause most cops vote red

@@vettevegasLots of departments are having a hard time hiring good candidates. Why don’t you step up and show us how it’s done?

@@michaela6147you are the armpit of society. 🤣.

​@@michaela6147 What is wrong with you!

@@marymoran8674 What is wrong with you? I'm sorry I don't worship people who murder innocent people everyday. That being government

@@marymoran8674 What is wrong with you?

Yeah sure nice story .

I'm not criticizing him but it's a shame he wasn't in better athletic shape, he was probably chock full of adrenaline too but still

People forget all of the gear 30-50 pounds in the summer heat.

I heard interview of guy who killed Osama bin laden he said You Don't run to your death. Thats why i am thinking it was tactic I Know in video it seems like he is grasping for air , yeah could have been hitting gym agreed but with that much adrenaline i think it was training and concision decision, he must be arm forces trained , with many raid experience in war zones of Iraq , Afghanistan. I have been to allen outlets many times its kind of maze and gun man could have easily used interconnected alley ways to come from one side to another side of that stripe mall. Also imaging only getting paid max 150k , for that he has to put his life in danger , walk towards sound of high power gun, if he hurt any civilian in hurry he will go in jail for his life, thats why i think it was great decision.

@@redacted5035 you realize he sprinted across an entire mall with 60+ pounds on top of however much he weighs you try that and tell me how it goes and Texas is also known for deadly heat and be under adrenaline knowing people are being killed and not knowing if you will be

He executed a down man and never gave a single order until after the incident. Criminal shooter or not if you did the same thing you will get charged.

Robocop and nostradamus in one Person .

Also you need to pace yourself, you don't want to be so out of breath that you can't aim. Or coming in too fast that you get shot before you locate the shooter. The fact that he found the shooter this fast, and hit him in a few shots from that distance given the circumstances is incredible.

He also has to track the shooter, follow the sound of the gun fire. He didn't know if there were multiple shooters or not. Oh, and he has to be sure he doesn't get shot as well. I'd say he did a better job than most officers would do in this situation.

I'm glad I didn't see any of those comments about his response time. It must be real easy and comfy behind a smart phone making judgements when they've never been shot at or had a situation remotely close to this.

​@@Matt92Machinealso, those canopies are making the shots echo like hell. It's amazing he managed to track the shooter as quickly as he did.

​@@BW-vp3ykholy crap good catch didn't even notice that now that's one good observation

i wouldn't bet on that

ercanbanka5377 🤡

Not to mention the gear and full uniform this guy was wearing. That's at least an extra 50 + lbs.

The people expected him to have Quicksilver's powers, taking out the shooter right after the 1st shot were fired.

@@DharmaFurryVII no, but he was running out of breath. He killed the shooter yes but needs to to work on his stamina for sure. Of course he cannot just run like an idiot towards the danger but cmon he has to work on his running especially with the vest. Police forces have pretty low standards when it comes to physical fitness.

@@xlxl1762 It doesn't matter anyway! According to the shooter's affiliation (neo-n), he could've killed like 5 times more if there wasn't cops nearby. (Referring to Utøya & Christchurch)

@@xlxl1762 And even if the officer ends the shooter after the shooter killed / injured one you'd still point out why the officer needs more training and should learn how to time travel so that no innocent citizens get killed or injured!

That is what really stood out for me. Being so nice to two little kids - see how the one was asking questions? You do that when you look up to someone you like. Then in an instant, he puts his life on the line in a completely unknown situation. That is the very pinnacle of police service right there

Excellent point!

No

I can't imagine what those parents must feel knowing their child could have been saved if police had taken appropriate action

A vast majority of cops are like this. The left media/politicians/educrats/BLM/etc. would have you believe different. Yes there are some bad cops just like there are some bad people in every profession, but no one should smear an entire demographic because of a few outliers. We should hold the outliers to a very tough standard and praise all the rest for their selfless sworn duty.

​@TazTalksYouListen maybe not the best time/place for this conversation, but here it is, That last part of your comment is the biggest. We are still waiting for that accountability in many cases. Every single 1 bad cop ruins the work of 10,000 good ones. Even if the bad are 1 in 10,000. And yet they are just shuffled around different departments and constantly protected. They have just recently finally been held to the standards they should have always been held to, but only because they are being monitored _at all times._ I can barely imagine how much the bad officers have gotten away with and the good ones did nothing, forever until 2 years ago. 😢

@@apexnext - Again, not near as many as we are led to believe. Just ask yourself whether you would prefer to have no cops or more cops. You know there might be a few bad ones. Is that enough to go with no cops?

@@apexnext Your 1st sentence is 100% correct. You should've taken note of your 1st feeling before typing your obvious hate.

Enjoy the Cops you need

yeah but how did he know it was just one person ?

it was probably just a formality

His skin color. Can’t plant the seed that brown cops can be hero’s. That’s only reserved for the other cops I could be reaching as well🤷🏾‍♂️

​@chuckberry1240 Bro you reached to the dumb part of your brain for that one.

@@chuckberry1240Total BS. Plenty more white cops got treated with the same crap for shooting down thugs with the specific skin color you were referring to.

Taking it to the Grand Jury and getting a "No Bill" is a good way to insure there is no action against the officer later. It is actually in the Officers favor.

My very first thought too!

thats what i'm saying, its sad people died, but it was fricken lucky the cop was near the area to stop the dude in his rampage

Definitely made this eerily cinematic like it was straight out of a movie scene

It’s not just an idea, it’s the truth!

I would take my vehicle

For Fort Worth PD all officer involved shootings go to the grand jury. I'm not sure about Allen PD, but it wouldn't surprise me.

@@montelong660 thanks i found out it is also protocol for allen so good to know they do that and that the officer is not being scrutinized

I have heard in some cases when force is being used it could be ruled that it wasn't justified/legal. - e.g. someone got robbed, and the robber got shot. It was then ruled that lethal force was not justified. (well, who would agree...) The next point I could see is, that if someone gets shot by police, it must be sure, that lethal force was justified, but imagine the footage was not online, nobody could verify. This matter I am sure was of public interest, so having a Jury coming to a judgement makes sense. Especially, since this will rule out the police officer being in fault. - it basically documents the officer being correct about what has happended, which I find makes sense.

They play too much call of duty

​@@foad2286children from my city are dead.

That was a 3 minute response time about as quick as you can get. Can't second guess real life and reality. From about 0:40 seconds when he heard the first shots to about 3:40 or so and he says that he does not know where he is. Then at around 3:50 we see him engage the shooter. I believe they both exchange gun fire. And our guy dodged some bullets there. That is an amazing response time and I think his best bet was to remain on foot. If he got in his squad car, he wouldn't have been any faster and likely would have been ambushed coming in with such a noticeable vehicle. I think he also assumed that it was coming from inside a store as well.

They man did great

Yeah on the left by the bushes is where the majority of victims were

“ACAB idiots”

And a Grand Jury hearing to consider charging him.

Of course criminals want to defund the police.

Yeah I'll be happy to take the tanks and war weapons away and give that $ to this guys pension instead. That's not how it works now is it? 😢

By ''people,'' you clearly mean the House and Senate Republicans consistently voting against bills that honor and/or support police officers? Not just police officers, but all first responders. Only Republicans voted against the 2010 9/11 Health & Compensation Act. Then when Republicans got the House & Senate majority, they successfully prevented the renewal of the bill, completely abandoning our police officers, fire fighters, medics, and military whom continue to suffer from the after effects of 9/11. As if cancer and PTSD runs on Congress' schedule. These people are literally dying or have taken their own lives while Republicans play politics.

@@olepigeon and the Democrats came to save the day. How is that working out.

@@thelawnguy7373 One step at a time, but the 2024 spending bill included an _increase_ in spending for Veterans Affairs. Again, something Republicans wanted to cut, and were willing to let the country default over _not_ taking care of veterans. A slim chance, but _if_ Democrats are able to retake the house and maintain the presidency, they will likely reinstate the 9/11 Health & Compensation Act; most assuredly under contestation of Republicans.

If you’re talking about Spainhouer please do some research. That guy is an absolute whacko. I live in this town. Spainhouer is a well known nut case and the Allen police are a fantastic force. This is coming from someone who holds police to extremely high accountability and standards.

@@LeannaBanana You are the absolute whacko.
