but you know what skill trumps
everything

protection bonus badge cam lesson
i'm your host john korea today's video
comes to us
from mariposa county in california
everyone should have a less lethal tool
on their person in this day and age and
the one that i
carry give to my family and recommend to
everyone
is palm oc hit the link in the
description and you can get one for you
and yours as well
this sheriff's deputy is here to serve a
restraining order apparently
from another state because of a domestic
that this guy has had he's come through
an unlocked gate that's an important
point we have a bunch of audio from here
let's listen
[Applause]
there's
gamble yeah
hello sheriff's office
hello there he is from
sheriff's office how are you doing sir
are you uh douglas
no what are you doing partner i'm you
came through my
gate was locked hey hang on no no no no
i'm gonna leave paperwork here for you
[Applause]
working
hang on stop put the gun down
no okay jump
[Applause]
the officer called for backup here it
took 20 minutes for him to get back up
which is not uncommon
for deputies in rural counties like this
the guy
ran off and they caught him a little
while later had a big manhunt guys
facing just a litany of charges here
because not only did he have you know
did he take shots at an officer here and
try to murder a police officer
but he did so with what apparently was
an unregistered assault
firearm or a an ar-15 that was
a homemade gun in the state of
california that's not cool
and it was short-barreled also not cool
in the state of california
and it was silenced it had a suppressor
on it also not cool in the state of
california
we could talk about all that stuff
another day but thankfully the officer
was uninjured
the perp here the guy that was in the
house was actually shot twice
in the shoulder and that is where this
one ends pretty serious stuff right
there and our law enforcement officers
face these kinds of threats
literally every single day if you want
to get better as a self-defender
specifically better with your handgun
skills come and join us on the active
self protection extra channel it's the
second channel we have here on
youtube and it'll train you to get
better with your handgun i promise you
officers please come and join us with
that would you
let's think about lessons so the officer
is here to serve a warrant and i do want
to note again these guys are just doing
their jobs right and it can get crazy in
a hurry i know there's a couple dogs but
they're friendly dogs so he's like okay
guys come here whatever
and he definitely plays officer friendly
here knock knock hello sheriff's
department and he's kind hey are you
this person whatever i'm gonna have to
leave you some paperwork
fine and and you can be both officer
friendly and
be absolute hell in a gunfight it's
possible to do both of those things
so he's talking to this guy and the guy
is saying you know hey buddy what are
you doing or whatever so he's using a
little verbal tick there
like like what are you about and you got
to be careful this one i think the
officer did a very good job
of not succumbing to contempt of cop you
know when he says hey what are you doing
bucko
uh and the and the officer's like hey
man i'm just doing my job whatever i'm
gonna have to leave you this stuff and
now the guy gets mad so he's like hey
you came through a lock gate no the
reality was
the gate was unlocked and his badge cam
the original show that and that's what
the sheriff's
you know released as a statement as well
so he's gonna stand here now i think
there's something interesting that he
does here
is that he stands on the corner so he
can see both sides and i think that was
a really smart decision
because that allowed him a lot more
visibility when you put yourself in a
good position
it gives you a tactical advantage and
thinking through those things if bad
stuff happens okay that's fine
but i wanna notice a couple things is it
okay for the guy to go back in his house
is the officer gonna have to chase him
or whatever
there wasn't any threat of violence at
this point so i get it that the officer
says okay the guy went back in his house
whatever we're not at a place of
violence or
anything like that so i'm gonna let him
do his thing but notice here that the
dog went around the other side when you
start seeing that the officer starts
paying attention and that was savvy as
well because he says aha there might be
something over there
and turns out it was our guy and notice
here that our officer gets his gun
up and on target very very quickly
because he sees the guy come out of the
house with a rifle well guess what now
he's come out of the house with a rifle
now we're talking about a pretty
significant deal
starts with one hand now the officer is
going to get a second hand on the gun
but notice that he's got the paperwork
in his hand
i can't tell you enough trying to drop
the stuff in your hand you're about to
have a gun fight
you want to have two hands on that gun
and nothing else in the way
and that takes practice it takes work on
the range it takes work in your dry fire
but get the stuff out of your hands
because you're about to have a gun
battle here at about
50 feet give or take you're talking
about that that's about what you're
looking at
so we're talking about 15 17 yards with
a handgun and our officer is going to
get a couple of shots off on this guy
and he's going to get good shots off
because watch the guy bring the gun up
so this is where the officer
decides nope we're going to get after it
is right here now why does it take
less reaction time for this officer
because it's only about a quarter second
here
than others because he's he's made that
decision he's got his gun up and he's
saying wait a minute if that guy starts
to bring that gun up
his guy already got the gun up and the
sights on target and made a decision
about when he is going to fire him
because of that
he gets ahead of this guy now i know
some people are going to say wait a
minute you can't win a gunfight against
a rifle wielding attacker if you're
aware
if you are using a pistol hogwash it's
the first person to put a good shot in
the other guy who matters
and our officer gets the first shot off
and gets a hit and hit this guy in the
shoulders
now again is that a fight stopping hit
not really the guy was able to run off
and those kinds of things but
he got a good hit his second shot he's
going to get a good hit
and because of that the guy's shots miss
he did take multiple shots at our deputy
but the deputy missed so
that marksmanship piece 15 20 25 yards
needs to be strong and you need to know
when that gun comes out in hand that you
see your sights
you put them over the target you grip
that gun like it stole something from
you and you press the trigger straight
to the rear
this officer does that has a little bit
of peek-a-boo with this guy and then i
think he does a great thing here and he
comes
out of a different space goes another
direction because the guy's expecting
him where he was
so he goes the other direction and i
think that misdirection
really got him out of the danger zone in
a hurry now i know some people are going
to ask wait a minute why did he run away
well the answer is
there's nobody else at risk here nobody
else here who is
in danger and so getting himself to a
safe position is a perfectly
reasonable thing to do because again he
wants some backup he doesn't really want
to fight a guy with a rifle while he has
a pistol although he won the fight
with his pistol so the next thing here
is that whatever you have on your person
in the moment is what you're gonna end
up fighting the fight with the officer
didn't have a reason to have his patrol
rifle with him
and so he had his pistol you need to be
strong with your pistol skills and
that's
the case whether you're a law
enforcement officer or a private citizen
and this officer had enough to get the
hits he needed in the moment when the
fight came to him to cover his asp
