they don't play a lot of american
football in wales but these two guys
might get a tryout
[Music]
hi friends welcome to today's lesson
here at active cell protection i'm your
host as always john korea today's video
comes to us from cardiff in wales in the
uk
wilderness tactical has been around for
longer than the gun you're carrying has
been and they've been making high
quality products for concealed carriers
for literally decades i wear their
lowepro belt every year the webbing is
the best in the industry and i won't
wear anything else if you're looking for
a good ccw belt check them out emergency
services took a call of a disturbance
that the guy that we're going to see
who's our perp
was part of and then they found him a
very short while later a guy matching
his description while they are watching
surveillance cameras and yes as an
american it gives me the huge ebg beast
to know that the government is watching
the general streets looking for people
on surveillance cameras but they did
find him and so you're going to see this
cop make a turn here the and and the
wagons show up and they're chasing this
guy on the bike so cops are going to
chase him around a ways we're going to
change it's all one surveillance footage
i'm just uh bringing that in a little
bit you're going to see our perp come
back and this bystander just absolutely
shoulder check him into the pavement and
now you see the cop on foot trying to
stop him and a couple other citizens
show up and there was a pretty good trip
that would definitely get you a 15-yard
penalty in the nfl but they did get this
dude on the ground if you go read the
news stories that i've linked in the
description once they arrested him they
found a huge crocodile dundee hunting
knife in the guy's bag he is a known
drug dealer and
transient and those things who was
involved in an altercation this
particular incident got that guy six
months in jail he got out after that
then he had a much bigger incident where
he ended up back in prison for like four
and a half years so they stopped him
here got him into custody we get to
think about a few lessons okay honest
question for you you see this kind of
thing happening are you going to step in
i'm really curious what you think so
leave me a comment with what you would
do in this situation first i want to say
as a general rule you see police trying
to pull somebody over guys running
whatever generally speaking your safest
and best bet is simply to get out of
their way and let them do their job
specifically and especially if they are
in close and hot pursuit like that as a
private citizen as a member of the
community you're probably better off for
your own safety for the safety of the
officers to just stay out of the problem
now that said you may feel like no i
have a safe means in order to get
involved here to help to to get this guy
into custody or whatever and that might
even be because you want the safety of
the perp because the longer this goes on
the more chance they could do something
truly heinous and end up getting shot
and killed or something like that so
okay fine that's worth thinking through
but let's think through this other idea
here first of all notice that this is
our first defender here this is our
first bystander who steps in a i want to
notice that's a big human that is that
guy's kind of head and shoulders above
everyone else here so that bigness maybe
gives him some margin for safety but
number two for all of us you gotta ask
yourself the question when am i gonna
step in here and stop somebody fleeing
from the cops somebody might say never
okay fine but if you're going to well at
what level of risk are you willing to
put yourself i would say generally
speaking if the guy has a weapon or
anything like that that you can see i
would say no thanks and just let him go
on by but this guy decides he's going to
step in in the moment so let's take a
look at the technique shall we he kind
of comes in and then you notice in the
end here he kind of gives him a little
bit of a shoulder is what he does there
and okay we're worked in was very
effective apparently this area uh you
know around it has a large rugby culture
so he kind of brought that rugby culture
to bear and just gave a big to do to
this guy maybe your better bet in this
particular case is a good hard shove or
something like that that gets him off
balance gets him to knock knock him off
the bike and puts you at a little less
risk because of course it hits you with
the bike and it's a problem but all
things considered a good you know
forearm check or something like that
gets the guy down too and then this guy
just bowls over like crazy now notice
there's a second guy who shows up and he
has to make that determination as well
okay now the guy is not on his bike
anymore am i willing to step in and try
to take this guy into custody and affect
an arrest at this point
generally a lot of places allow a
citizen's arrest or certainly to help
law enforcement if that's there but it's
very dangerous to do if you don't have a
high level of empty-handed skills taking
somebody into custody getting them to
quit resisting and all those things much
harder taking somebody down than maybe
you think so make sure that again you've
thought these things through now of
course once he's got an officer with
them and all those things this other guy
decides to step in and trip this guy up
and and actually i think this is
probably one of the less dangerous times
in that because you know he's got a
couple other guys on in hot pursuit and
so you you're gonna have immediate help
and getting two on one three on one like
we have here
i think is definitely you know gonna
make that an easier thing but also
notice he did a pretty good trip here to
get underneath this guy so you know this
isn't exactly high level kung fu but
quite effective you know uh just general
hooliganism and good for him on that
then they all get this guy who again is
is not a boy scout on his way to bible
study friends into custody so okay fine
now continuing to help when more
officers show up you got to know when to
back off they're all in there and you go
okay cool i'm going to back up out of
here and that's exactly what we see our
guy do he's just going to back up and
away and get off there and let these
officers do their job and i think that
that was very wise then you actually see
him here going to go get the guy's bike
and bring it back over and go okay
here's our dummies bike as well that you
can get in there i think it's kind of
funny here at the end you saw another
guy walking across the street give this
guy a pat on the old back and say hey
man good job helping everybody out i
will say as well at the end that i'm
grateful that these people stepped in
and helped because again get somebody
who is not a good productive you know a
good saint sober moral prudent person
off the streets help police officers
probably maybe even save some more
danger for other folks that's great i
just want us all to make sure we've
thought through the ramifications of
that and the risks of it so that we go
in eyes wide open and cover our asp
