Put the weapon down, I am not gonna ax you again!

[jimboalogo]

"Put the ax down!"
"I can't."
"Wanna bet?"

[forrestshadow]

Note to self, refrain from approaching gun drawn LEO with an ax.

The crossfire possibility was making me nervous too.

[johnzajac]

The cops 'axed' him to put it down.

That female cop needs to go back to training! Absolutely terrible situational awareness! She fired towards her partner.

[djowen]

Lesson the first.

Do not bring an axe to a gunfight.

[Notladjr]

That man lied. He said he couldn't put that axe down. Clearly he could.

[jumpiertech]

That crossfire has me shaking in my boots 😢

[unsheepled]

Kids, this is why you stay away from drugs and alcohol !

The woman on the phone may want to give it to someone else
Being rude and ignorant isn’t helping the dispatcher

[snagglesmagoo]

Ofc Marasigan wanted to save the guy's life. He knew he had to de-escalate the two Officers from shooting again. That's a good human.

Female cop needs to get her voice under control, screeching should not happen in any type of police activity.

[trippychick]

He brought an ax to a gun fight and he lost! Imagine that!

[henryrodgers]

Did “Off. Burns” take two shots from 40 yards away *with another officer directly in her line of fire?*

[aardque]

Lady was all, "oh so you're having trouble _hearing_ me are you? Here, let me assert myself."

[GoUSA]

Brought an axe to a gun fight.. genius

[sandymartin]

Tell me you dropped out in 7th grade without telling me you dropped out. Drop the ax "i cant" well.... you can

[GlockwNoLove]

Officer Burns needs training. Lady need to watch her crossfire. 😂

[olenmullins]

I really thought even children knew “Don’t bring an axe to a gunfight”!
