  1. I fell terrible for all of the families that have to deal with this tragedy but the fact that this cop fired one round to end the threat right after the guy did a mag dump on him is impressive. If he stays on the force he needs a promotion

  2. This is the kind of world we are living in? So many violent evil filled with anger lunatics living in our communities. Prayers to blue live matters.

  3. There are about 660,000 police officers in the US and in 2021 there was 649 deaths, 467 of which were from Covid. 50 cops were killed from gunfire this year.
    There are about 970,000 construction laborers in the US and in 2021 they had 1,282 work related fatalities. God bless our construction workers putting their lives on the line for our communities, they do some of the hardest labor in the country often thanklessly and with low pay o7

  4. I send Officer Lurato my best and expect him to receive multiple decorations for his service.

  5. Can you remember when Donald Trump's supporters attacked more than 200 Law Enforcement officers ?
    And Fox TV and Republican politicians Lied Intentionally about it, for the rest of Forever !

  6. Grotesque. The divide between citizens and police needs to be bridged.

  7. Are you f**** kidding me this all happened because some drunk a**** was mad he got kicked out of the bar holy s***

  8. Takes years for PDs to release footage of people being murdered by officers, yet 5 days for the reverse…

  9. I always emphasize if you need to come in just meet me at the gym and advise me. We go back and search together in peace so nobody is edgy. Laws are so easy to break on accident sometimes..i think im good though? Anywho be safe everyone

  10. I guess no good guys with guns were around.

  11. Looks like they were investigating Trump for something and ended up on the other end of the MAGA stick.

  12. Thank GOP for inciting violence against law enforcement and their support for more guns on the streets!

  13. trumpist coming out…..

  14. once you take the job it's your duty to die on the job. no sympathy. police budgets are why poverty and crime exist.

  15. If 50 were killed from gunfire then what caused the other 202 police deaths?

  16. When the news uses words like “ar-15 style rifle” or “similar to an ar-15” their credibility level just lowers and lowers

  17. Yep we need to make it easier for all no matter what age to buy assult style weapons.
    The gop if you can carry it you can own it …its your second amendment right.

  18. Every freaking day there is more evidence that gun control is needed. How many people need to die before we get laws that prevent A-holes from getting their hands on this sort of weapon. The 2nd amendment has had its day.
    My thoughts are with all of the victims and their families.

  19. Thanks Byden, thanks blm , thanks police hating democrat voters 👍
    God hurry 2022/2024 so we can remove the trash

  20. You can see the reflection of the officer who shot the suspect… dude wasn't shaking or anything! Cool as a cucumber. Amazing! WHAT A MAN!

  21. The video would have been more cinematic if the ambush had happened when they were marching.

  22. I recently moved out of Bristol. The police there have always been professional and courteous. The injured officer was the school resource officer at my daughters k-8 school. He was always respectable.

  23. Gee…an automatic weapon in the hands of untrained civilian using it against law enforcement officers. This is why we need to rethink gun laws.

  24. Clearly, we need more guns.
    – Yrs, the gun lobby, a/k/a the GQP+

  25. Let's hear this 911 call and what probable cause you have to order someone out off there house.
