hi friends welcome to today's bonus
badge cam lesson here at active self
protection with me our co-host mike
wolover and i'm your host john korea and
today's video comes to us from los
angeles california palm pepper spray has
recently reformulated for even more
effect when you bless the deserving with
the hot sauce palm is what i use between
a harsh word and a gun and encourage
everyone to do likewise officers arrive
here because of multiple 9-1-1 calls
these are some people that are living in
tents in this park and the guy who has
got his hands up here is
been accused by people on 911 calls of
stabbing another person living in the
tents with a knife so they got a bunch
of 911 calls of a guy stabbing other
people in this tent city with a knife so
they show up to start talking to this
guy and if you go watch the original
i've sped it up simply for the sake of
time
but they talked to this dude a long time
like 15 minutes they want to get a hold
of this guy but he's not making any
sense we do have badge cam audio from
here so let's listen in
he's walking away
[Applause]
[Laughter]
right behind you
get down
he's still not complaining
[Applause]
give me your hands
take your hand down man
the controller takes the suspect
the bean bag was ineffective the first
taser was ineffective the second taser
was effective they got this guy in
custody he is facing some charges and we
get to think about lessons mike i know
we're gonna talk about it but dude you
get hit with the bean bag rounds that
many times and you shake it off what is
up with this guy uh he has incredible
pain tolerance or he's looped up on
something let's check it out i really
think these lapd officers mike deserve
commendation for how much time they gave
this guy so i think it can be a very
normal thing to think i've got a stack
of five calls that i'm sitting behind my
sergeant is running a call right now
because i should be there i gotta just
get this guy in custody but i think
these officers did a really good job of
simply slowing their role when he wasn't
an immediate danger to anyone else and
continuing to talk as always with lapd
excellent unit tactics cohesiveness they
clearly train together they know they
seem to kind of know what each other is
going to do and i think as you said
giving them this amount of time it
doesn't hurt anything at this point to
give them this much time and when things
change is when he decides no i'm not
going to stand here in an area where
nobody's at risk i'm gonna go towards
people where there is risk that's when
they change things but i really think
these lapd cops i mean they've got the
less lethal out like they really want
because a guy doesn't have a knife in
his hand in the moment you see him he's
got his hands up okay cool so nobody's
got guns out in this moment everybody
they do have the bean bag shotgun they
do want to talk about the taser now
again when do things change when the
threat profile changes and excellent
work here to recognize that the threat
profile is changing and to say okay wait
a minute this guy now starts to be a
threat now i do want to say got an
officer here on screen who does have a
gun in hand why because this guy has
been stabbing people and so i've got a
let's lethal like i should and i've got
two i've got a beanbag shotgun and a
taser but i need lethal cover before i
deploy that absolutely i think not to
mention let's talk about the backstop
they have to work with throughout this
whole thing
tons of cars going by people on the
sidewalk so you're they're really i'm
sure in their mind they're like man i
really hope i don't have to shoot with
an actual firearm with this guy but uh
yeah they as far as as far as lethal
cover uh to non-lethal cover i think
they did it they did it perfectly now
let's recognize here this dude has taken
multiple bean bag rounds
that is in the back no less and now the
first taser is ineffective as well so
again the bean bag rounds can absolutely
fail and thankfully this guy didn't turn
and charge with the officers secondly uh
you know the taser if you don't get both
barbs in they can fail so while the less
lethal tools are very effective when
they're effective when they are not
effective they are zero percent yeah
tough to say i don't know if this guy
was perhaps under the influence of pcp
i've been i've had to arrest people that
are
and it took a lot of us because you
literally have no pain compliance that
that's not a thing anymore if that were
the case that would explain why the bean
bag didn't work
hey i've seen the bean bag i've never
seen it not work so for it not to work
is really quite something and we've seen
it several times where people try you
know the bean bag i won't test it on
anybody because the chances of hurting
somebody are so high but but recognize
that for this guy not to have i mean he
took direct hits with the bean bag in
the back and it didn't phase him we know
this guy is problematic first taser
completely ineffective still
uncooperative but at least he doesn't
have a knife in his hand in that moment
the bigger thing here is because of that
with lethal cover let's try to get this
guy into custody and the the taser in
the second case does work and what we
see here is what we call neuromuscular
incapacitation so they get total lock up
on his muscles this is not pain
compliance this is overriding his
brain's control of his body yeah that's
the difference um if you've never been
uh tased like in a demonstration or
whatever if you can do it dude you
should check it out it's quite something
if you want to see me get tased go on
the facebook page for active self
protection and scroll back aways on
videos you'll see me get you know ride
the lightning it's not fun my agency
didn't get tasers uh until right before
i left so i never carried a taser on the
job however just for funsies i had an
escondido uh training guy a police pd
guy just do the on the clothing probes
or whatever that's not even the actual
darts
dude that sucks yeah i've taken darts
it's pretty miserable but i think the
beauty of that in this case is again a
non-compliant guy who is again stabbing
people so this is a violent person that
we need to get into custody immediately
so they do that and they do so without
shooting him now again why is lapd able
to do that in this case because he never
turned and threatened the officers if
you start turning and threatening the
officers then everything changes but he
didn't so the threat profile got to the
place where now nope he's running away
we got to get him into custody good use
of the less lethal tools here recognize
their limitations you know what else
john i want to point this out this video
is never going to make it on the news
and the thousands of other videos where
cops do all they can do to to save
someone's life who could they could have
potentially shot during the course of
this thing is not going to make the news
folks this stuff happens every day and
you never see it so kudos to these
officers ever did a phenomenal job in
not shooting this guy getting him in
custody and hopefully getting him some
help i think they covered his and their
asp
