Clinton Jaws. Thanks for watching. Thanks for clicking. Subscribe to my channel. Chicago. May 16th. This is a good one. 2021. You got to watch this one. Two cops get shot. That's not, that's the terrible part. But they live. I will never, I will never show you a video where cops are killed because I don't watch those videos. I've seen too many of those videos. It ruins my week, my month, my year. They're still ingrained in my mind. But this video, the city of Chicago, could learn a lot. You got to watch it. It's a short one.

Watch it to the end. I'm going to interrupt, of course. And I have to hurry. My kids are going to be home in half an hour, and then I start babysitting. And yes, it is babysitting. Hey, what's up, bro? Hey. Hey, hey, hey, drop it.

Drop it. We're talking to you, man. Hello? The call is shots fired. It's shots fired. This guy has been shooting a gun. The cops know. that he has a firearm.

They know he has a firearm. They're 99% sure or certain that he has a firearm. Hey, stop right there. Show me your hands. What's this address still? 10.13. We're behind the individual. He doesn't want to stop.

$1,800 long in the alley. I just wanted you to look at that. See that cop over there? With his gun down to his side? I'm thinking, why are these Chicago cops not pointing their gun? And I'm not doing this video to shit on the Chicago cops, okay, at all. But why is this gun down to his side? My gun, if I was following a guy who I believed had a firearm,

my gun is going to be pointed right at him. There's a reason for this I found out after. You hear that? You got to hear that, Mark. This is how people are nowadays. Makes me sick. I'm going to talk about that guy later. Okay.

The cops show up. They're directly in front of the guy that has the gun. This is what happens. Again, I'm just saying it because it's something to talk about, okay? It's easy to sit in this chair. But you see the fella, I don't know if he shot. I think he might have. But you see his shadow. He's on the radio.

And I hope, I would hope if I was in that situation, I don't care about dispatch it. I don't care. My gun is still on the subject. He's still a threat. I hope my gun is still on him, and I hope I don't have one hand on my mic. But this is what he does with his other hand, okay? This is another view. He puts his gun away after he either shoots or points it at bad guy.

Chicago police are nervous to handle their firearms, and there's a reason for it, I think. He shot the fire. He shot at the police. Gun back out. He's still a threat, guys. Up on target. Drop the gun, man, drop the gun! You stay down! Are you hit? Ah yeah. They're hit. Officer hit.

Sending an ambulance. Where's the gun? Where's the gun? Dude. Ah! They shoot me. No, you shot at us. You gotta see these angles. There's more angles. The best is yet to come. These are the fellows that were in the car that ended up getting shot at.

This is the driver, obviously. I want you to hear what they say here. You're kind of pull up and front. No, I'm thinking to myself. No, we're not going to pull up up in front. If my buddy said that to me, I'd be like, no. Dave, we're not pulling up in front of them. Here, kind of pull up and front.

We'll open the door just so we have covered. Yeah. They're going to open up the door just so they have cover. And I'd be like, Dave, what are you talking about? A door's not cover? A door isn't even concealment. I think a lot of people think in their head that a police door which has no

basically no protection is not cover. Cover and concealment are two different things. Cover, you're safe from the bullets. It could be a big tree. It could be a brick wall. Concealment you're just hiding from the guy. There's no cover. You're just disguised.

You're concealed from the bad guy. A door doesn't give any of those things. Unless, of course, they have special cars. I don't think they do. Maybe they get Kevlar and their panels. I doubt it. I just wanted to say it. A card door is not cover. We'll give verbal commands.

Let them go down. Training 101. Stay as far as, stay as far away as you can from bad guy, especially if they have a gun. Let them come to you, don't, anyways. Go, go, go, go. And I know I need a haircut, okay? Stop, stop, stop, stop. See how fast it happens?

Scary shit. Boom, boom, boom. Boom, boom. I'm hit, I'm hit. We hit, Mark. We hit. On my side, left side, left side. He got hit.

Depending on what you read, he got hit in the hip and the shoulder. Or the leg and the collarbone. He got hit twice. And he's good. He's good to go. Where your hands, dude? Get your hands out of your pocket. Okay, you gotta see this one, guys.

This one's interesting. So the passenger gets out. This is his angle. Dude, stop! Get your hands up. Come on. Look at his gun. He had a stoppage.

Right there. His mag is out. And I was thinking when I was watching this, why is his mag out? Why is it hanging out there? So I slowed it down. I want you to watch this. Let's just watch the end of this first. Where you hit?

Where you hit? Where you hit? On my side, left side. Right. Okay. When I first watched this, when I first watched this, I thought, What the hell's going on with his gun? Why would he have a stoppage?

Why would his... RC&P firearms do not work when the magazine is hanging out, even a little bit. We're always taught before we get out of the car that we smack the mag. Before we shoot at firearms training, we tap the mag to make sure it's in there.

Probably did that 50 times during a shift, constantly just tap in the back of my gun while it's on the belt, making sure it's in. So I'm wondering, why does magazine come out? And I'm also wondering, who shot first? So I slowed it down.

I want you to watch this. I know that sounds horrific. I think bad guy, bad guy shoots first. Action beats reaction. There's nothing to, and again, I'm wondering,

why is this cop, and I know I'm butchering this, but why is this police officer at low ready position? Why isn't he pointing his gun at bad guy? Chicago police are skisking. to point their guns at bad guy.

They really are. He gets a shot off, and you could see... Watch us. Look at the cop's gun here. See that? See the round ejected? What I think happened was he has his finger on the trigger, the cop does. The gun goes off. That bullet ends up hitting his gun, the cop's gun,

in his hand. and it makes him fire a shot. And you can see right here, that's where the bullet hit. Two hands on the gun, two hands on the gun, guys, at all times. And look at his mag. His meg is sticking out. I don't know. It has to be because of the damage that that bullet did to his gun.

His gun goes off. His magazine hangs out. And I don't know. It was just something interesting I wanted to show you. Here's the photo. casing comes out. Bad guy shoots his hand, shoots his gun,

finger on the trigger. I don't know. I might be way off. I guess my point is it might have been a circuit. It's all... There's two things that happen here. By having his gun. Like that,

which is not the right way to have your gun. It should have been up on target, pointed right at him, two hands on it. But almost like having his gun, In the low ready position, it's possible that that saved his life oddly. And this is just another picture to show you. I don't even know if the officer realizes it, but magazine hanging out has his gun pointed,

kind of towards a bad guy. Okay, so I started thinking, why did every cop, why did the driver step out of the vehicle without his firearm even out? Why did the passenger have his firearm butt in the low ready? Why were the two dudes walking towards walking after bad guy? Why were their firearms down to their side? And I think I found the reason. And if I'm wrong, well, I'm going to look like an idiot and that's fine.

I found Chicago's policy on point in firearms. They changed it in November 2019. And it says right here, a department member points a firearm at a person while in the performance of his or her duties, the member is required to make the appropriate notifications consistent with the procedures and exceptions outlined in this directive. They changed the policy. I found out it's one of the mayor's ways to change policing. They don't like police pointing their guns at civilians.

So they tried to change the power. Now, what does that tell every cop? I'm going to be reviewed every single time I point my gun. I'm better off. I'm safer from punishment if I keep my gun at the low ready. So what do police do now in Chicago? But you just seen it. They hesitate.

They don't want to point their guns at anybody. Because Steve just got in trouble. Out of the blue, Steve got in trouble. Because he pointed his gun at somebody. And they don't want to get in trouble. I think her name's Lori Lightfoot, the mayor in Chicago. Her decisions are killing cops. Those two cops got shot.

You could say that because of her policy change, the decisions that she's making. And this is the dumbest part of it all. Regular police officers are going to get reviewed, possibly punished for pointing their firearm at people but SWAT members are exempt if you're a SWAT member you're allowed to do it

does that make any sense SWAT can do it but regular cops can't and then I went a little deeper and here's Lori talking I understand the concern but I don't think that concern is going to bear out because there are protections in place

Mayor Lord. She understands the concern. She was asked, don't you think cops are going to be hesitant now? She understands that concern. But it's fine. It's not going to play out, guys. They're actually going to bear out. Bear out. There's protections in place.

There's protections in place. You're just seen a clear example of when things go bad. It might have been different. That second cop might not have been shot if the first cop had his gun pointed at bad guy. Bad guy shoots. cop has two hands on his gun and lets them have it. There's safeguards that are built into the consent decree. Look, we've got to get past the point where the FOP

reflexively believes that anything related to police reform is a problem. Well, that was stupid, Lori Lightfoot. You're an idiot. The things they're doing, the decisions they are making are killing police officers. And we just about seen it. There's one last thing I want to show you guys. The officer that got two shots to his body, lower and upper.

I like that he stayed in the fight. He got something like it. I think I counted five shots while he was going down. Stay in the fight, guys. Stay in the fight and don't stop and unload your magazine. Bad guy got shot in the leg, he's fine, he's going to live. Both cops went to the hospital, they got released. And all the cops, a bunch of cops, lined up.

And I thought it was beautiful. They did a salute. while they were coming out of the hospital. That was pretty cool. Thanks for watching. I know I butchered this one. I was all over the place, but I wanted you to see it,

and I'm glad everybody lived. Subscribe. Bye-bye.
