1. No doubt that officer saved many lives.

[FarPoint]

3. Everyone in Ned Peppers!

He was on a misson.

Connor Betts the murderer, he was the one at mid top on the left...last one by the door of Ned Peppers....stopped him before he could enter...dropped to the ground...probably a head shot....last one you see in the video clip...

8. If Betts was wearing armor as reported, then I presume it had to be a head shot to stop him.

That's very difficult to do on a running target.

[FarPoint]

10. That is my take on it as well.

He went down immediately and was motionless in the shooting video clip....

[LisaL]

11. So not only was this cop heroic, he was a good shot as well.

[FarPoint]

12. Exactly....

And under intense stress too.

15. One officer had a "tactical" rifle the other a shotgun

looks like the shotgun knocked him down then he was hit by the tactical rifle.

4. Very heroic officer because you can see he isn't protected by full gear.

Yet he stayed on and killed the suspect.

[kozar]

5. he ran TO the gunfire,,,,

Incredible bravery,,,credit given where credit due

[FarPoint]

6. Brings tears of honor for such an officer..

These guys are top notch...

7. Where are the DUers who call cops names all the time?

These officers saved lives.

[FarPoint]

9. You damn straight they saved lives.

They never blinked....amazing bravery.

There is another video of officers approaching the scene....all started and ended in 1 minute.

[cwydro]

13. I agree.

Most of the people who call cops names would be the same who would be hiding behind them in a crisis situation,

[FarPoint]

14. The 4 lead officers....

They were all from the same graduation class for Officers and sworn in together in 2016.

16. No one should call police names because they are police officers.

Or refuse to serve them meals and drinks or tamper with their food. They are human beings just like the rest of us.

I have long pointed out that I believe that most cops are honorable people, but there are some that should never be allowed to wear a badge.

I believe that if we funded schools better and intervened with problem children professionally better, we would need fewer police, but some of those people would likely take up teaching. But anyone that believes that we don't need police officers in our society is a damned fool, often it is a good cop that stands between a difficult problem and an absolute disaster.

17. Sometimes they save lives, sometimes they kill unarmed black people or the hell of it

18. Right here. See below. I stand behind my statement.
