i love the part where it says "Both were out on bond at the time of the shooting.", just shows how flawed our system is and how it endangers all residents.
Innocent until proven guilty, as it should be. Many innocent people have been railroaded by the authorities by overreaching. Bond is simply set at a level that will ensure that the accused will appear in court for trial. Bond is not to be used as a punitive measure to keep the accused in jail pending trial. It is a fine line, but one that should favor the rights of the accused prior to their trial.
@@briansmyla8696 bond CAN be used to keep a person in jail b4 their court date. And a bond DOES NOT ensure that they go to court, id say over half that get out on bond never show up to court and end up getting other charges!
This officer is classic! "Shot through the shoulder, possibly the chest, I'm having trouble breathing". As he's walking around taking care of business! Hope his recovery went well.
Nobody would've blamed him for a second if he sat out from there on. What does he do? He goes to the side of the car. Used reflection to assess injury. He goes to the trunk and gets out the Big Gun. Locked and loaded.
@@SirUncleDolan as someone who is way more liberal than a conservative, watching that unfold was brilliant, it’s great news that the officer was treated and is okay, because he did an amazing job and has some balls.
That trooper is a badass!!! He was shot and still stayed in the fight and relayed all necessary information. Props to that civilian for helping the trooper!
@@deviceuser3767 WOW,! You are stupider than they said you were, thanks for proving. You are very much part of the problem with a mouth and thought process as this.
@@deviceuser3767 Props to being apprehended by SWAT and being faced with Attempted murder on a LEO! They truly deserve a gold star *maybe even two* for their performance.
Oh yeah if you listen to his description you would think the cop was beating on his car and screaming at him at the initial contact. And yet the officer never said anything he just knocked on the window and pointed for them to roll it down, and immediately the guy slammed it in reverse. He certainly has an active imagination
Trust ME! These A holes think they are always the victim. My cousin got attacked by a fool that pretty much looked like him. Shaved/buzzed head, random tats, some gang tats but those gangs don't exist so the Gen Pop will make fun of him, he will try to be hard, etc etc. Then get out on bail and do it all over again. And when someone buts a boot to them they cry victim and want to press charges, and Oh That was excessive force! I was just trying to get away!. Cops are mean to me!! YEAH FOOL!! YOU ARE A THUG who thinks there are no laws!! My cousin's attacker was out that night. She got 3 stitches on her chin because he punched her and took her phone and $23. That is how stupid these "gangsters" are. Tracked the phone to under the bridge in a dark quiet place. Three stitches was worth it. She got her 3 stitches back, and the other idiots under that bridge scattered like water bugs.
Does that clown not realize everything is on camera? He should be charged with attempted murder of a police officer and deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison.
He likely will spend many years in prison. Now that he has pleaded guilty to the Federal firearms charge and received 9 years for that the state prosecutor is looking at filing attempted murder charges. These things can take years. Be patient. He is not getting out for many many years or possibly never.
I was going to make this comment too. You HAVE to know it's all on camera now right? Dash cam, body cam, gas station CCTV. You can't just say, "the cops rolled up on me all aggressive and I had to defend myself!" and we all just believe you especially when you haven't got a scratch on you.
@@routerhelp Be patient? You're joking right? The "back the blue" crowd has no interest in people keeping their constitutional rights like due process.
adrenaline is one hell of a drug . but it deffff wore off between time , so that’s what we call a machine ! keep working till he can’t nomo lol ! hope he healed well and speedy!
When these d.a.’s(a.k.a. dumb ass) and judges have their loved ones killed by these CRIMINALS that are CONSTANTLY set free on the rest us LAW BIDDING citizens, MAYBE that will open their eyes, doubtful, BUT MAYBE.
You sound like a nut. Seems like you became an officer for nefarious reasons, were a bad cop for a long time justified doing "good" based on your perceived notions from theses your paid to protect.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 It just shows how stupid all of the criminals are, stupid for doing it in the first place and then pleading not guilty to something they are guilty of.
My god there is ALOT of stupid people on here. He can plead whatever he wants dude. He is still probably going to be convicted, AND ON TOP OF THAT given a STIFFER sentence BECAUSE he plead NOT GUILTY. System sounds pretty good.
From drug charges to attempted murder of an officer...I've known quite a few addicts, most won't hurt a fly. This guy was a disgusting person with or without drugs. Throw the book at him.
The sad thing his he wasn’t even charged with attempted murder… his charges were assault with intent to commit a violent felony on a peace officer, aggravated battery on a peace officer and possession of a firearm or destructive device by a felon.
Addicts are liars and thieves with accountability issues and they neglect their kids. You’re probably tweaked out thinking that addicts are good people.
Ya, most drug addicts won't hurt a fly.........except if they rage out hallucinating, or need a fix for withdrawals, or get told "no" at the wrong time, oh ya and the stealing and freeloading doesn't hurt anyone WTF WORLD YOU LIVING IN ???? Naive.
No, he’s not. He could have handled that situation differently and escalated. He put us, the public at risk over a pair of addicts. Cops need to stop doing that. How many babies did he pass on the highway doing a hundred miles an hour? All over a couple of addicts. Sorry man, that’s not a badass at all.
@@TimPfalzgraf-te9zl "I aM DiLuSiOnAl. ThE InTeRnEt And WoKeTiViStS hAvE LoNg SiNcE GrAbBeD mY BaLlS AnD YaNkEd Em Ooohhh NoOOoO". In short, still a unit and a hero. I'm talking about facts, not your opinion. Nice opinion though
This officer is one of the toughest men I have ever seen. I’m sure adrenaline had a lot to do with it, but he remained calm, alert, and informative. Wow.
Don't forget it was Rtrump who signed a get out/stay out of jail card the day before he left office for a man known to his son in law who was under investigation for lone sharking and threats to kill. Doing that also closed a multiple years long investigation into organised gangs and extortion.
Walking around after being shot makes it worse. I know his adrenaline is running but, moving around speeds up your heart rate and makes you pump more blood.
Considering his injuries the officer was so composed. Still trying to handle stuff while injured like that, what a total badass. He needs more recognition for his service!
The civilian had more know-how and handled the scene better than the officer that came to assist, explaining his wound entry, directing traffic. He should get an award. As for Officer Vaughan, such calmness and professionalism even after being shot, he's an incredible man with titanium balls!
And do you really believe that this is true? Imagine if a policeman is really shot, how much yelling he starts. And why couldn't you see why his camera was covered?
thats the judicial system in general. it was most likely a drug related crime is why they were out on bond, violent offenders don't typically get bond, and when they do they usually ruin whatever family members lives that signed their houses away to pay their bond.
Thank the Constitution of the United States, which promises that the right to freedom can't be taken away without due process. Innocent until proven guilty in this country. Why should innocent people sit in jail?
Footage of the swat was badass! Poor trooper did his best he’s a badass for doing his job! Also it’s unbelievable how many times people won’t pull over for lights and sirens
@@matthewhall9692did you watch the video? Because people were still not pulling over for him once he got his siren working again. So I'm guessing you're just as Clueless
Officer Rambo you are one tough sob. Major respect to your sir for being able to remain calm and comprehensive after being hit in the neck. You are a fine officer. To the civilians who took time out of their day to help an officer in need, stopping and directing traffic, the man helping the officer stop the bleeding, keeping a clear safe scene until help arrived I commend you for being compassionate beings and doing what you could to help. And last but not least, swat officer payback time baby let’s goooooo. Well done all officers involved
you really have no comprehension skills at all do you. he wasn't out on bond for shooting an office dimwit, they were out on bond from a previous crime.
You may have got the chronology wrong. Out on bond (for possession of drugs, a non-violent offense), and THEN he shot a police officer. He wasn't out on bond AFTER shooting him. Perps are generally held in jail without the possibility of bail for attempted murder of a police officer.
Officer Vaughn you are one tough dude. Prayers for your healing. Thank you and your men for your service. And thanks to the by-stander who stayed to help.
I get it now. The criminal that rammed a police car then led the police on a high speed chase that ended with a Pit maneuver which caused him to shoot at the police officer with no ill intent is the actual victim and the police officer is the aggressor. Maybe Caleb should watch the same video I just watched because if that is the story he is going to stick with in court I wish him the worst of luck. His parents must be proud.
@@Iron_Monkey He should stick with that story in court. I would love to be in the courtroom when the prosecutor plays the body cam footage. At that point he will change his story to, “that’s not me” or “that’s my evil twin brother”. 🫣😬🤔
Caleb: "I rammed his car, then ran off into a high speed chase, then when i got pit maneuvered I just started shooting cause i felt like he was being rude and too extra..." Also Caleb: "Not guilty..."
Why do so many of these crimes involve creeps out on bond? Why do we continue to let this happen? Thank you, Officers, for your brave efforts. 💙👮♂️👮♀️👏
NM is a revolving door of a shit show, Las cruses even more so they had such bad over population in the jails and stuff they would people out for most non violent crimes or wouldnt even take them in. My friend and i were working a circle k there (we were employee in el paso but offered to help in due to them being short staffed) and we had a homeless dude come in and steal beer, so we called the police as we are required to do by our company, LCPD shows up and picks the dude up and take him to jail where gets let out not more then 30 mins later, then he come back. He causes a scene steals more beer, so we call LCPD back, they come back out arrest him again and he gets released again no more then 30 mins later, he then shows back up at the store grabs the metal trash can next to the door and proceeds to smash my friends cars windshield in cuz how dare he call the cops on him for stealing beer. Thats when the police kept him locked up, and that was the last time we worked in NM we told circle k to shove it, we werent going to go back there again. Three times they had to show up to deal with this guy. Dont even get us started on the homeless problems in general...
Blue governed areas are soft on criminals that result in deviating from bonding guidelines and felony laws that would generally call for high bond to deter early out for felony suspects. DA's and judges are grossly deviating from felony statutes. It has made repeat offenders more aggressive toward NM LEO because they know the criminal friendly DA & judge will let them out on PR bond even though they are already out on bond, they'll cut them loose the next day. Blue areas have become lawless and Homicides have sky rocketed big time. Every OSI suspects have already committed crimes with firearms and were out on PR/Signature bonds. It's not NM LEO cutting these criminals loose, its the DA and judges not adhering to NM state felony statutes, you want justice or accountability, it's best to relocate in 1 of the 12 hard red communities/counties or other conservative states.
People this is not Afghanistan, this is here in the United States of America. The men and women of Law enforcement deserve our respect and support. For not those who put their lives in harm’s way to protect total strangers. God Bless the peace makers as they are children of God.
I meant the ones that choose to swear a Oath to protect the citizens they serve. And putting their own lives in danger to protect their fellow Americans
that is why we have bond in the usa stupid ignorant people spouting shit off without having any evidence or having the wrong evidence because they are fucking idiots. no where in that video did they say they were out on bond after a shooting just that they were out on bond at the TIME of the shooting.
I have a big issue with the lack of urgency the dispatcher had. They should have gotten all units to the scene as soon as he said officer hit. Especially when he said he was having trouble breathing.
And you don’t know what was dispatched via txt and electronic messaging and what was not heard audibly over public records video media. Stop being an ass 🤡 you know when their own blue get popped it’s an all out response! They had GPS location of the officers vehicle no question there, they had aid in route.
This was BRUTAL to see this man and hear him in pain yet cool as can be! I know it don’t make a damn but my heart broke for him! Sir you are a hero & a testament of STRENGTH! God Bless you & THANK YOU.
Innocent? I am brazilian, you Americans, don't let your beautiful country lose the war between the police and criminals. Here in Brazil there is almost no justice anymore, criminals are winning this war. God help us and bless all of you Americans, you are an example of what a great country should be.
I love seeing civilians helping our officers. They risk their lives, literally for us. Those saying there's bad police- there are bad people in every single profession. We need police. Also blows me away seeing a bunch of vehicles not moving over for the officers. Anyways, these officers are amazing and bravo to the civilian who helped!
Adrenaline is a powerful hormone. He was lucky that round didn't nick his carotid artery in his neck. Bleed out quickly. Rounds to the shoulder can easily bounce of a bone and go into a major artery/heart. Very luck man indeed. Was not his day to go.
How in the hell can anyone justify the way law enforcement is treated when they are literally waking out of their homes each day for the last time, they truly don't know if they will return. He's shot twice, one in the neck, bullet still in him, having trouble breathing but stays the course. Later he's taken to the hospital and released that same night. Thank you for everything you do, all officers! To the guy who ran to the officers aide, in pretty sure he said he's an emt, you rock as well! Those who were on both sides of the officer helping keep traffic away from him and the situation, you're amazing as well. Seriously this is how it should go, everyone stayed a safe distance until they could help and then all jumped into action where they knew they could best help. ❤
The officer who got shot was unbelievable. He said he was shot in the shoulder, possibly in the chest and was having trouble breathing. Even with all that, he kept going, relaying all the info, watching where the people were fleeing and remaining unbelievably calm. The civilian who helped was fantastic, put himself out there when he didn't know what had happened other than someone had shot a policer officer (and could possibly still be around). He said he had stopped most of the bleeding so he was "no longer bleeding out". Whether he was bleeding out, who knows, but it is possible he saved the officer's life. Meanwhile, the second officer who showed up seemed panicked. Couldn't get the back door of the car open, didn't know where the first aid kit was and seemed to concentrate of some bleeding on the officers chest while the civilian had to tell him a couple of times that there was a bullet hole in his neck. I don't want to be too hard on him, I probably wouldn't be that cool in this situation but it was a contrast to how the first officer and civilian handled it.
Adrenaline that the body produces in a critical injury is an amazing medication. Huge props to the officer that was hit. He kept doing his job to keep the community safe. Thank you to the Good Samaritan and other officers who rendered aid. God bless you all!
A hero for stopping someone using drugs in a bathroom….not worth possibly losing your life over…until it was escalated it was a victimless crime. Also, a civilian calling doesn’t establish probable cause or reasonable articulable suspicion of a crime. That is a fact as stated in case law by SCOTUS. Glad the officer is ok tho. The hero would be the ones that came to his aid. Also, the one who called could’ve cost him his life or someone else’s.
@@michaeldunar8986 if he was doing drugs in his own home fair enough, but the second he starts driving he’s putting other peoples lives at risk too. The police should absolutely try and stop people like this
Edgewood near I-40 is a bad area. A few months prior to this a shoplifter lit the super Wal-Mart on fire, bad enough that the store was closed for several months. Several years ago, a Bernallio County Deputy was murdered during a traffic stop by a murderer who was on the run trying to avoid capture for a murder in Albuquerque. That guy was finally located in Juarez, Mexico and brought back for trial, conviction and life w/out parole sentence.
@@downhomesunset the suspect would've likely started shooting if he couldnt escape from the gas station so its probably for the best the trooper didnt do that
The lieutenant pulls in behind him with his music blasting and assertively knocks on the window. NORMAL immediate reaction is "WHAT'S THAT?", sees the officer and complies. Immediate reaction if the car is already in reverse, I can see him hitting the gas and striking the cruiser. But that was not the case. He had the time to think, "Fu@# this, I'm out", put the car in reverse, strike two vehicles, run over railroad ties and flee. Now he's being chased, and he knows this, for several miles. Tries to make a right turn and gets tactically pushed into the guardrail. He knows who is behind him. He knows he has a firearm. He knows he's out on bond. He CHOSE to use the firearm and flee on foot. But, no, he was the victim of an over-zealous officer and he is the victim... I think not.
The guy was out on previous bond for previous crime. then tried to murder a officer. There is no way he deserves to be released on ANOTHER BOND! He derserves to serve 15 years no parole or early release for attempted muder of a LEO. Judges need to be strict in their decisions and sentences.
It is so frustrating to listen to the suspects relating his “story” especially when the police have already watched the body cam video or the dash cam.
HOW DARE YOU HURT A PEACE OFFICER! And you’re running your mouth accusing the officer as being rude and disrespectful was just wrong; your lies about why you had to back up onto the officer to flee AND shoot him didn’t make any sense. Go away and rot in jail!!! I hope Officer Vaughn is recovering real well. What a consummate professional and his calm demeanor was exceptional!!!🫡🫡🫡
Defendant lied totally in his statement. Trooper never said a word to him at the gas stop. 🙄 Courts need to really rethink their bonds. The current system is flawed.
It's almost as if letting criminals out on bond results in more crime or something. Good luck NM LE, you're going to need it with the politicians you've got.
As of Feb 24 Caleb Dustin Elledge pled guilty to the federal weapons charge and is facing 9 years for it. The state case for shooting a police officer has not begun yet.
OUT ON BOND? attempted murder on LEO and eluding and SWAT ... and a judge didn't set NO bail? WTH?! citizens at least respect this officer, apparently that judicial misfit does not. Thank you for your service, sir!
They were out on bond for different charges "at the time" of this shooting. Meaning, they committed a crime prior to this incident, got out on bond, and then did this.
