Ge
Closer, a little closer, not too close.
All right. We're in the seventh district tonight,
a lot of guns, a lot of narcotics out there.
That's where we ... our key focus is tonight.
I'm an operator with a tactical platoon
to the special operations division.
Back each other up real tight tonight.
If you get something, we get a chase or anything,
K-9 is working tonight.
We are a street crimes unit, street-level narcotics, guns.
Anything that a normal police officer
couldn't handle, we handle it.
But we're also the SWAT team, so if there's a SWAT situation
that happens or whatever, we all of a sudden change gears.
Be safe, be strong.
Let's do this. See y'all later, guy.
Jay and I were actually in the academy together.
Best friends since the academy.
We've been partners for about 4 years off and on.
I wouldn't want to ride with anybody else other than Alley.
I know he has my back no matter what.
Hey, you want to try to go more further into the east
or head towards the fifth or what you want to do?
I'll just follow you, man, wherever you want to go.
The driver, he pulled out in front of us
from one street onto another,
didn't stop, didn't use a turn signal.
He didn't use his turn signal
at all coming off the interstate.
A traffic stop is one of the most dangerous
because the person you stopping might have committed
an armed robbery or a murder. You don't know that.
Let's check it out real quick. We'll see.
Always an adrenaline rush, but it's fear-driven.
It's the unknown. You don't know what you're going into.
-Something is up with this, bro. -The way he was looking at me
through the side-view mirror, I knew something wasn't right.
-Let me see the hands, my man. -He put one hand out the window.
Put your car in park.
As soon as I ordered him to let me see his other hand ...
-Let me see your hands, man. -His hand kind of twitched.
And that's when all hell broke loose.
And hit it!
We got a car taking off on us. Chickasaw.
Your heart is pounding. The adrenal is rushing,
just makes you want to go out there and get the bad guy.
He's driving a little faster than we are now.
[Indistinct]
Stay off the air.
We just lost sight of him, turned onto Clayborne.
All right. He just turned in front of us.
Chevy Impala. We're right behind him.
He's accelerating away from us, though.
Right there, a unit. Tell that unit ...
Right there, unit, right there! Right there coming behind you!
Ugh! Speed is about 70.
He's well in front of us, though.
He's going onto I-10 westbound.
He's staying in the right-hand lane.
It looks like he's looking for a exit,
or he has a flat tire.
He's kind of swerving around a little bit.
Stuff is flying out the vehicle now,
or it's shrapnel from his tire. Ooh! Ooh! Back off of him.
Yeah, his vehicle is disabled. He's lost a tire.
Back off ... What was that? Back off of him, bro.
When the tire came off, there wasn't a chance
that we were going to really be outrun by him.
That's why I was trying to impress to back off.
He just lost two tires.
This isn't going to go much longer.
Jay doesn't really have any back-off in him which is ...
I wouldn't change that for the world.
-Jay, back off of him. -He's ... we can ...
We just crossed Benefit. He's reaching.
[Indistinct]
Oh, dude! One-oh-eight! One-oh-eight!
-There's shots, 108! -One-oh-eight!
I think if a police officer ever told you
that he didn't fear for his safety at some point,
I'd say he's lying to you.
He just turned on [Indistinct] You better [BLEEP]
listen to me next time I tell you to back off!
I know. I will.
Fear can only really help you in my opinion.
You're more aware of what's going on around you.
You can probably hear a little better, see a little better.
-I'll back off. He's down two. -He's continuing to fire.
Jay, stay the [BLEEP] back off him right now.
-Take some shots. -You can't!
They've got [BLEEP] people.
-He's still shooting. -The vehicle is about 10-7.
We're going to have to stop. Vehicle ...
Better start getting around him. We're going to need a perimeter.
We started telling units they better get here
because he's going to bail out,
and it's going to be in one of these blocks.
He's got his door open. He's got his door open.
When I saw his driver door open ...
Stay on!
... that's when I got really scared.
Jay, get within the pace.
On foot, black shorts, green shirt.
As soon as he made the turn,
I saw him stopping and tossing the gun.
-He tossed the gun. -As soon as he did that,
I just tried to cut him off,
and he jumped into one of the backyards.
Stop! You're caught!
He ran to the back of the house.
I went through one gate he jumped over,
and then he jumped over the second.
And we lost sight of him, and I just ran back out
and started setting up the perimeter real quick.
Get a perimeter set. Get a perimeter set.
They need a perimeter.
You can go back in your house, lock the doors.
He was heading this way. He was banging at us.
[Indistinct]
So he definitely didn't get out of the block?
No, he didn't get out unless he's Flash Gordon.
It's just one perp, one perp.
-Went in right there. -That one right there?
Right here, this block? Light this block up.
Dade Police was out there.
They brought the helicopter in trying to help.
We got a good perimeter. It's tight.
Once he went into the block, we backed out.
No way he got out of here. Look at this.
No. He did not, bro.
You're calling for K-9 to set up
so we can go do a block search on him.
K-9 10-97 yet?
Those dogs are absolutely fantastic
unless you're the one running from them, I guess.
The first one I banged back instantly, and then I stopped
because we were going around corners and [BLEEP],
and they were banging.
I didn't know what was on the other side.
-You fired? -Yeah.
[BLEEP] yeah! He was going to shoot at me.
When he first started shooting, that's when Alley returned fire
twice, backed off because he stopped and ...
-Does that mean I'm ... -Alley, you out.
Yeah, does that mean I'm ... Aw, come on, man.
You on the sidelines, buddy.
They had to put me on the sidelines
because they have to make sure I was justified
as far as shooting goes, and they need the ballistics
from my weapon and everything else.
-Why is he out? Firing? -Yeah, firing.
I guess it's the worst part of it.
Being sidelined at the end was the absolute worst.
-[BLEEP]. -He was dead-ass tired,
going that way, and they got fence after fence right here.
There's no way he made it over there.
The K-9 unit has arrived,
and the team is about to go in and search for him.
Police with a K-9 dog [Indistinct]
to surrender or release the dog, and you can [Indistinct]
Thirty-four point four,
be advised we're getting ready to go in the block.
Last warning, this is the police with a K-9.
You need to surrender before we release the dog,
and he will bite.
We called in K-9. K-9 came over there.
Then we did a block search.
Come on. No [BLEEP] way he got out of here.
We went through every single yard ...
Ugh!
-... but we couldn't find him. -Let's see if the 95
is on the ground somewhere around here.
That's where he tossed it at right there.
We ended up finding the gun that he tossed.
Oh, he went empty, huh?
-Yep. -He went empty on it,
so he fired every bullet.
Crime lab, yeah, crime lab can pick it up.
I like to get guns off the street
because you get one gun,
that's another chance that somebody live another day.
Ugh, just should have followed him.
Thirty-four, 24.
Ma'am, we're cleared from the search.
Thank you for all the units that responded.
-I was frustrated. -[BLEEP].
Because I really wanted to get him and put him behind bars.
Now is the time when you start thinking like, [BLEEP]
what could I have done differently?
Can't feel like that, bro.
Y'all did everything right. Everybody safe.
Oh, he left his phone in there, too, huh? Nice.
We start looking at the car, and he's got Taco Bell
he just got and his baseball cap in there,
casings all in the car.
Of course, they're probably going to do some DNA.
On the firearm?
Steering wheel of the car, compare it to the gun,
see if we get a hit.
There's a lot of evidence in that vehicle.
With all this evidence,
they got a super good chance of getting him,
so we'll see where it leads.
