LMAO I legit thought the cop was running to his cruiser to get his own rifle.

[Buster.Skruggs]

Seriously thought that cop was going to run all the way home

[Bigworms]

He about knocked his fellow officer down trying to get tf outta way 😂

[BalefulRogue]

Bro turned into Forest Gump for a second, just started runnin' and runnin' 🤣 Ran past a ton of concealment and cover options

[BlackWholeProductions]

Careful Officer Hero, you might trip over your balls you left back there when you ran away from the threat. Lol !

[ndHandHero]

Holy cow! Dude flat bailed on his partners saying feets don’t fail me now!

[Savagethemax]

It amazes me how many people in society has just given up. Imagine waking up one day and just saying screw it and shooting it out with the police. You really have to be at your lowest point in life, or just want to die

[KniveLing]

Those pants should be considered a felony offense as well.

[elisr]

Bruh that first Leo ran half a block leaving everyone behind, he ain't want No Smoke, 😂 He gotta Rifle "RUN"😅

[TifDaJeweler]

"hes got a rifle!" proceeds to run as far away as possible making the gun fight even more in the favor of the suspect lmfao

[johnleonidas]

The bad guy died, that’s all I need to know.

Great job officers, keep up the good work.

[phillylove]

@ 1:50 That other officer pushed him out from his concealment like it was the last spot in hide and go seek.

[coolbreeze]

I just saw that cop here in Nor Cal, he’s still running 🏃🏽‍♂️

[mythical]

I'm blown away as to how many verbal warnings police officers give armed suspects to drop their guns and even when the criminals ( because that's what they are) shoot at the police they still Cary on warning and ordering the criminals to drop their weapons, the police show a enormous amount of restraint, in South Africa the second a criminal pulls a weapon he is shot there is no warning him 10 times

[charleschi]

Lol, that is a new definition of retreating! My man really took off! Thought he was going to cover 26.2 before he felt safe.

[SchafdoggGTO]

I get adrenaline really takes things out of control sometimes, but his running past all the cover and in the open could have been his death.

[obviousness]

Perp deserved what he got solely based on the pants he was wearing 😂

[ogstopper]

".... died of his injuries."

Oh, dear. How sad.

[georgebeauchamp]

So the cops knew he was already shooting and only brought their side arm to the fight?

[kamikazekunze]

Holy crap. Nothing like running into the face of danger, let’s run a half mile away.
