Watch: Murder suspect tries to steal cop's gun

A murder suspect is now also facing an assault charge after he was caught on video trying to steal a police officer's gun while being questioned. Reena Ninan reports.

This is why most jails, and literally all prisons in the US, have a "No firearms beyond this point" policy with lockers the officers are required to put their firearm in before moving them to a holding cell. In my city, they do this if for whatever reason they need to hold you before taking you to the county jail.

Gotta be faster then that bud. All your chips were in that moment and you moved like a snail.

[todd]

I mean did he really think this would work out for him?

[mikerrnm]

Not only did he try doing that slowly, but it’s also a level 3 holster, where it’s extremely difficult for someone to try that.

[shane]

I’m surprised they carry inna situation like this in the first place.

[DrSleep-epcw]

they handled him like a 3 pound sack of apples, what a weak little man. 🤣

[mykehunt]

Look at those racist cops trying to prevent that black man from exercising his Second Amendment rights

[SEVENTEN]

I remember seeing a video like this in a criminal justice class i took in college, except the man does get the gun and he shoots himself in the head

"what a stupid way to make an ECSCAPE" what a stupid way to say ESCAPE

[peanutcolada]

Wow he actually tried that on a lvl 3 duty holster… you can suspend a cop mid air with just the gun and it still wouldn’t come off…

[terencelucas]

Why do they need guns in the interrogation room is my question?

[skynut]

Maybe cops shouldn't take guns into their interviews.

[anthonyddrummer]

Hopefully this cop thinks next time to not expose his firearm like that and put himself in a vulnerable position.

[ronwade]

There are supposed to be NO GUNS, zero weapons in jails.

[kevinclark]

That's why your not to take weapons in holding area's and holding cells just for this reason.

[eddiel]

Police 1 o 1, handcuff perpetrator, and, NEVER handle prisoner with your gun side.

[neo]

Man this same scene was in the movie "prisoners".

[snapchat]

There a button on the holster if you see a cop just look at the hostler

[abubaocear]

He didn't want to get struck in that electric chair

[jakobedevlone]

Jesus handcuffed people to the chair just gives them a weapon you'd think they would learn they would be able to contain them much butter if they just had bars in the wall
