Idiot texts minor, threatens mom, gets shot
This footage from Jacksonville, Florida captures a recent incident wherein a suspect draws a firearm while running from the police, and gets shot for his trouble. Viewer discretion is advised. As is the case with these things, the devil is in the details. The suspect shown, 18-year-old Cerry Banks allegedly texted a 13-year-old girl, unaware that the girl's mother had intercepted the phone. Upon attempting to meet up with the girl, Banks instead found the mother, whom he allegedly threatened with a firearm in his waistband. It is at this point we catch up to the story. Pursuant to an aggravated assault call, Jacksonville PD's Officer Robinson makes contact with Banks, at which point Banks flees. During the ensuing chase, the suspect draws his handgun, at which point Robinson shoots him. Warning: During this sequence of events, Officer Robinson does some of the most disappointingly lame stuff I've ever covered, including onomatopoeic gunfire noises, managing to trip over a fence that's already down, and saying... ugh... "As you were" over the radio. The video then picks up from a second officer's perspective as he coaches Banks out of hiding in a nearby drainage ditch, managing to be professional, yet apathetic to the gunshot Banks brought upon himself. Although the suspect survives, he is charged with (2x) Lewd and Lascivious with a minor, (2x) Aggravated Assault with a Firearm, as well as Travelling to Meet a Minor and Unlawful Use of a Communication Device.
5 views / TodayGWOT Vet-Refugee records gunfight with cops
This footage, coming from Fairfax County, Virginia, shows one of their officers making a traffic stop. The driver, who is armed, makes irate statements about the Taliban and serving in the GWOT alongside US Special Forces. He becomes increasingly agitated before the situation devolves into a gunfight, with the suspect apparently recording himself. Viewer discretion is advised. Jamal Wali, 36 years of age, is shown here being pulled over for having an expired inspection sticker. Upon making contact, Wali warns the officer that he is armed. He is seen ranting about supposedly serving with US Special Forces before being moved to the US with his family, and becoming increasingly irate. He makes furtive reaches for the weapon, but the officer keeps his cool and calls for backup. Wali pretends to acquiesce in the face of superior firepower, offering the officer his identification. Unfortunately, this is a ruse. As the officer leans in to take the card, Wali draws his pistol. Although the officer tries to grab it, Wali manages to get a single shot off before a malfunction occurs. Unfortunately, the shot passes through the contact officer's arm and into the arm of another officer behind him, before hitting a nearby car. A cover officer on the passenger side of the vehicle fires four times in response, striking Wali. He was pronounced dead at an area hospital, and the two wounded officers retrieved medical aid. They are expected to recover.
3 views / TodayFlorida man fights car with scissors
This bodycam/dashcam footage from Jacksonville, Florida shows a police officer's response to a suspect using scissors as a stabbing implement. While the incident is not explicitly graphic, due to the racially perjorative language used by the suspect, viewer discretion is advised. On 04 May 2025, a 911 call came in from the suspect's girlfriend. A week prior, Michael Wright, 40 years of age, had been detained and taken to the hospital for a possible narcotic overdose. In the interim, his girlfriend decided to remove her belongings from his home. Wright allegedly took aggressive exception to this. The 911 call was a request for protection. Jacksonville Police Ofc. Burke responded,and as he arrived, Wright jumped up to stab the hood of his cruiser with scissors clenched in his fist. Burke then tried to strike Wright with the bumper of his car, after which Wright punched the driver's window. Burke backed up and went for another bumper thump, succeeding on the second try. Wright went sprawling. Burke apparently tried to use Wright's position of disadvantage to get out of his cruiser, but Wright sprang up quickly. Wright dropped the scissors before charging Burke, but it would appear that in this rapid, high-adrenaline chain of events, the officer did not clearly see this. According to the report, the object shown in Wright's hand is actually his sunglasses. Wright was shot four times and later died at hospital, despite aid rendered on-scene. About The Author
5 views / TodayFlorida cops in gunfight with sex offender
This compilation of bodycam and dashboard camera footage shows DeSoto County Sheriff's Officers attempting to arrest a wanted sex offender. The situation escalates into a gunfight, wherein an officer is hit and the suspect is killed. Viewer discretion is advised. Law enforcement in Forsyth County, Georgia informed DeSoto County, Florida, to be on the lookout (BOLO) for Matthew Rollie, 30 years of age. He had an active warrant for enticing a child and failing to register as a sex offender. Accordingly, DeSoto Sherriff's Office located a vehicle suspected of being used by Rollie. Using the running of a stop sign as a pretext for stopping the vehicle, DeSoto Deputy Trujillo made contact with the driver and confirmed that Rollie was riding in the passenger side. As his partner Sgt. Nunez was checking Rollie's identification, Trujillo (on the driver's side) noticed Rollie reaching for a weapon (01:33), but not quickly enough to prevent the suspect from firing. He fired four times and Trujillo went down, returning fire. Despite being shot twice, Trujillo rather amazingly rolled right back up onto his feet. Sgt. Nunez fired on Rollie as he attempted to exit the vehicle on the passenger side. As he fell, Rollie continued to fire. At that point, Sgt. neutralized Rollie on the ground. Right at the 02:00 mark, we see the incident from Sgt. Nunez' perspective. 03:19 shows it from Trujillo's. From here, we can see the female driver of the car exited to the rear left of the vehicle, where she was out of the line of fire. Rollie was pronounced dead on-scene, whereas Trujillo was air-evacuated to an area hospital. He has since been discharged to recover at home. No other persons were harmed.
3 views / TodayFlorida cop wins gunfight against armored suspect
This compilation of bodycam and security camera footage captures a shootout between a Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff's Officer and a suspect. Viewer discretion is advised. On 12 March 2025, the suspect, Brandon White (33 years of age) refused to stop when interdicted by JSO Officer Goulding. White slowly continued to drive, passing safe places to stop in order to get to the location shown in the video. When White finally stopped, Goulding exited his vehicle to make contact. This is where the gunfight starts. In the almost immediate exchange of gunfire, Ofc. Goulding is hit in the foot. Despite this, he remains calm and transitions to cover, having run his weapon to lockback. His radio transmissions are clear and calm as he repositions and reloads- again, it bears mentioning that this is while having been shot. Using a fence to shoot in an almost textbook right-side barricade stance, at 0:28, Goulding takes follow-up shots at White, which are the ones that ultimately incapacitate the suspect. Ofc. Goulding then retreats, warning bystanders in the area to stay back. Humorously, the man has just been wounded in a gunfight but it's the rubberneckers that finally make him lose his cool at 01: 09. I think we can all relate. Goulding continues to look for the suspect until backup rescues him, not knowing that White is bleeding out in his car. Security camera footage from the house, cross-dubbed with the audio from Goulding's bodycam, gives us a frame of reference for what Goulding could not clearly see. Furthermore, it shows White in positive control of the long gun. White was transported to an area hospital but succumbed to his wounds, whereupon it was discovered that he was wearing body armor. Other than Ofc. Goulding's fantastic work and presence of mind under pressure, this video serves as a reminder that gear alone doesn't determine who wins. White had a premeditated plan, body armor and a rifle, and he still got outperformed by a cop with a sidearm. To paraphrase Voltaire, God is on the side of whoever shoots better.
3 views / TodayFleeing Florida bank robber gets shot
This dashcam and bodycam compilation, coming from Ocala, Florida, shows police officers in pursuit of a black pickup. Inside are three persons suspected of knocking over the local TD bank earlier in the day on 08 May 2025. The truck rolls over in the course of the chase, and one of the suspects emerges with a weapon-in hand. Failing to drop his weapon, he is shot by law enforcement. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect shown here, who attempts to flee on foot after the truck rolls, is identified as Randall Williford, 37 years of age. Along with Amanda Bishop, 34, and Andre Baker, 36, he robbed the TD Bank in Ocala of $6900. Bishop acted as the getaway driver, fleeing at nearly 90 miles per hour. When the truck flips as result of these excessive speeds, Bishop and Baker remain inside while Williford tries to run. In his escape, Williford trips and regains his feet while still holding his weapon. This slowdown allows the police to close distance with Williford and repeatedly demand he drop his weapon. Because he fails to do so, he is shot. However, the gunshot to his wrist is promptly treated with a tourniquet. Williford was transported to an area hospital, with a promising expectation of recovery. Williford was charged with armed robbery, possessing a firearm as a felon, aggravated assault on an officer, and tampering with evidence. The driver, Amanda Bishop, was charged with armed robbery and fleeing or eluding with disregard for safety. Andre Baker was charged with armed robbery.
3 views / TodayDomestic call turns into deadly close-range shootout
This bodycam footage, provided by the police department in Cyrus, Minnesota, shows a domestic disturbance call that rapidly, and tragically, becomes a gunfight at across-the-table range. Both the suspect and one of the responding officers are killed in this video, which necessitates viewer discretion. 34-year-old Bill Nygard is shown seated at the table. Upon being informed that he will be arrested, Nygard stands at 0:37 and produces a handgun, firing at the two officers in the room. They return fire, killing Nygard, but the officer from whose perspective we first see these events will, shortly afterward, die of his injuries at an area hospital. Deputy Josh Owen, a 14-year veteran, met his EOW on his 44th birthday. At 0:50, we see the point of view of the other officer in the room, who also fires on Nygard. He was struck in his vest by a round from Nygard. Afterward, we see the third officer on the scene, who was posted in the hallway and did not fire, although he was shot in the ankle. Both were treated and promptly released from hospital.
4 views / TodayDeputy and suspect fight for four minutes over weapon
This footage, coming in from Corona CA, shows a Sheriff's Deputy fighting for control of his handgun- and thereby, his life- against two suspects, one of whom repeatedly encourages the other to kill him. The fight lasts for around four minutes, which is a lot longer than it sounds when struggling hand-to-hand. One of the suspects is shot and killed, and therefore viewer discretion is advised. The Deputy encountered two persons acting strangely, and when he approached to inquire, the pair fled, doubling back and engaging him as shown in the security footage in the opening seconds of this video. As they struggle, 32-year-old Eric Nourani repeatedly coaches 30-year-old Jennifer Dobbins, telling her to hold, and later, attempt to kill him. She rebukes the Deputy in the name of Jesus and kicks at him as her accomplice continues to wrestle for control of the weapon. Interestingly, at 02:38, the Deputy states "I'm going black"- presumably as an indicator that he's running out of strength/oxygen and options, for when the footage is reviewed later. At 02:45, he shoots Dobbins with a single round. Despite this, Nourani continues to struggle with the Deputy, urging the fading Dobbins to get in the fight until help arrives for the Deputy. Despite medical aid provided on-scene, Dobbins was pronounced dead at an area hospital. Nourani was charged with murder, attempted murder of a LEO, mayhem, and resisting with violence.
5 views / TodayCop gets her gun and car stolen
This compilation of bodycam footage from Fountain Valley, California, shows a police officer attempting to detain a suspect. Unfortunately, he manages to steal her gun and police cruiser. Ultimately, he is shot and killed by her partner. Viewer discretion is advised. Fountain Valley PD responded to a call concerning a man who attempted to open a driver's door as she was leaving a nearby middle school. The caller reported that the suspect was generally behaving in a disturbed manner. An officer made contact with the suspect, who was later identified as Osean McLintock, 26 years of age. He asked McLintock to be seated, but the suspect refused and ran away while making Biblical references. He outpaced the officer, at which point his partner made contact some distance away. A short time later (02:18), the officer heard screaming and ran to help, finding Mclintock in possession of his partner's pistol. Mclintock ignored repeated commands to drop the weapon and tried to comandeer the female officer's cruiser, at which point the contact officer opened fire, striking McLintock (02:55). Despite aid rendered, the suspect was declared deceased on-scene. At 03:22, we see the footage from the female officer's perspective. Due to the audio buffering, their initial exchange is inaudible, but for some reason she exited the vehicle with her handgun drawn- a confusing decision, given that McLintock had no weapon or lethal capability. However, despite pressing it into his own abdomen and giving her plenty of opportunities to shoot him, she did not, resulting in his taking her weapon. She fell to the ground and begged for her life as the suspect repeatedly referenced her salvation. The female officer fled and hid behind a mail truck while her partner, the contact officer, confronted and ultimately neutralized McLintock.
3 views / TodayCalifornia murder suspect shot at newport beach pier
This compilation of air wing and juxtaposed bodycam footage shows police from Santa Ana, California attempting to apprehend and ultimately shooting a murder suspect on a fishing pier in nearby Newport Beach. Viewer discretion is advised. The suspect, one Jose Velasquez, 45, is wanted as the primary suspect in the murder of a 38 year old woman. He had fled the scene earlier in the day, and the Santa Ana police had caught up with him, resulting in a vehicle chase. From a circling police helicopter, we see the termination of the chase play out on a fishing pier in Newport Beach. With nowhere left to run, Velasquez steps out of his car, pistol in hand. At this point he is simultaneously taken under fire by two officers and downed. He was later pronounced dead on-scene, with no other persons injured. At 0:36, we see the incident from the juxtaposed perspectives of the two officers involved in the shooting. About The Author

This bodycam footage, provided by the police in Riverside, California, shows their officers interdicting a suspected stolen vehicle. When the driver exits the car, tosses a pistol over a fence and attempts to climb over after it, one of the officers shoots him down, preventing him from getting to the weapon. Although the suspect survives the shooting, viewer discretion is advised
2 views / TodayBridgeport suspect stabs cop multiple times, gets shot
This compilation of bodycams from Bridgeport, Connecticut shows a suspect attacking a police officer with a knife before being shot by one of the backup officers. Although all parties survive the incident, viewer discretion is advised. First, we are shown the POV of Officer Cetti, who tries to use a knife to open a door in order to get to the suspect, 45-year-old Huntley Jackson. In response, Jackson draws a knife of his own, stabbing Cetti in the head and neck. Backup officer Jimenez drops Jackson with two rounds to the torso from his service weapon. Both Cetti and Jackson were taken to an area hospital. While Officer Cetti was treated and released, Jackson underwent surgery, and is currently in stable condition under guard. He is charged with criminal intent to commit murder, first degree assault and assault on a public safety officer.
4 views / TodayArmy veteran gunned down by Florida deputies
Warning: This compilation of footage, provided by Hillsborough Co. Sheriff's Office shows a US military veteran being shot and killed by police. While not especially graphic in nature, this subject matter hits close to home, and viewer discretion is advised. On 23 April 2025, at approximately 0725 local time in Brandon, Florida, deputies from the Sheriff's Office responded to reports regarding a man dressed in fatigues, a plate carrier and carrying a rifle. The area was a busy intersection, near both a school and large storefronts. They located the suspect, one Vincent Tyler Morin, and told him repeatedly to drop the rifle. He did not comply. At 0738, as shown in this compilation of bodycam and aerial unit footage, three deputies opened fire and struck Morin multiple times. Although first aid was rendered on-scene, Morin died at an area hospital. The subject, Vincent Tyler Morin, was a US Army vet, discharged at the rank of Staff Sergeant after tours as an infantryman in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Friends report that Morin struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and his behavior and equipment shown here conform with his deployment experience. Although records show that Morin was arrested twice before this incident, the arrests were for trespassing and marijuana possession. Neither are considered violent offenses. Whether he was in the midst of a mental health crisis or trying to make some type of statement will now never be truly known. This is a very controversial shoot, to say the least. While open carry of a weapon is not currently legal in Florida outside of certain prescribed activities, such as hunting or fishing, it's important to note that at no point did Morin actually raise or brandish the rifle. Furthermore, no attempts to communicate or de-escalate with Morin were made. The aerial unit makes a reference to "less lethal" but there is no indication that such force was used. So what happened here? Context is important. As of the time of this incident, it had been less than a week since a multi-suspect active shooter incident in Tallahassee, Florida. But with the caveat that I don't know them personally, I think this has more to do with the deputies who responded. One was a Lieutenant with the agency, with 35 years on the job. The other two were rookies by comparison, with just over a year for one and six months for the other. Therefore, what we possibly have here is a man who doesn't want 35 years of service capped off by losing a gunfight before 8 AM on a Wednesday, and two others who are so new to what they're doing they still see it as a black-and-white Academy exercise. I've seen this much before; trainees who think that because a rifle is in play in the scenario, they have to go lethal. Also, neither video nor reports released at this time make it clear who fired first, but incidents of sympathetic fire among police officers are well-known and documented. Even if the lieutenant was not the first one to shoot, it's not without the realm of possibility that they were reacting to each other and not Morin's actions (or lack thereof). These are just theories, and I am admittedly not without my biases. However, I think it's fairly objective to say that Morin was a veteran who needed help, and deserved a fairer chance to get it than this. The biggest takeaway is to check on your people, and do it often. There's no harm or dishonor in giving or needing help dealing with PTSD, but it's nothing but a shame for a life to end like this, for nothing.

4 views / TodayArmed suspect fires at cops, SWAT sniper intervenes
This compilation of bodycam, vehicle and drone camera footage, provided by the Police Department of Farmington Hills, Michigan, shows their officers taking fire from an armed suspect. While the officers are pinned down by the suspect's rifle fire, a SWAT sniper neutralizes the threat. Viewer discretion is advised. The officers were responding to a domestic incident wherein the suspect, 32-year-old Dejuan Evans, allegedly assaulted a victim and threatened her life in front of her children. Although she fled and called the police, the kids were still inside the home when police arrived. As the video shows, the police make initial contact with Evans, who refuses to show his hands before firing at the cops with what appears to be an AK-pattern rifle. As the officers retreat, Evans fires at the cruisers and the officers using them for cover. The police audibly worry about the safety of the children, not knowing that they escape during the time Evans is firing at the cars. It's worth mentioning that it could have easily gone down with a far more horrible outcome. In any event, we see a drone's-eye view of Evans firing from his front door before he gets dropped by a SWAT sniper. He is currently under guard at a medical facility, charged with three counts of assault with intent to murder, one count of firearm possession while prohibited, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, six counts of felony with a firearm, and domestic violence.
5 views / TodayArmed suicide risk has weapon shot from hand
This unedited bodycam footage from Louisville, Kentucky shows Louisville Metro PD officers responding to an extremely volatile situation. They confront a potential suicide risk, seen holding a gun to his own head. Although all parties survive the incident, due to the distressful subject matter, viewer discretion is advised. LMPD responded to a report that Daniel Gish, 55, had fired a gun into the floor. The report was furnished by Gish's daughter. When the officers arrived, they found Gish in his front yard with a pistol held to his own head. Despite attempts to de-escalate the situation and negotiate with Gish, including an officer's straightfoward plea ("I don't want you to do this, man"), the subject remained distraught. At that point, the officers pulled back and tried to establish a perimeter. At the 05:30 mark in the footage, LMPD Sergeant Kristopher Pedigo made entry to ensure everyone was out of the house. He encountered Gish and gave him one verbal command to drop the gun. When Gish did not comply, Pedigo fired one round into the subject's wrist, knocking the gun from his hand. Because it went flying, there was some initial panic as the officers sought to locate the handgun while providing medical aid to Gish. All the while, Gish stated that he wanted to die. He was transported to an area hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Pursuant to agency Use of Force policy, Sgt. Pedigo was placed on administrative leave while this incident was legally and administratively reviewed. It's unclear whether Pedigo intended to shoot him in the wrist, although he does verbalize shooting the weapon out of Gish's hand. The big takeaway, of course, is that everyone survived the night thanks to Pedigo's actions.
2 views / TodayA Gunfight's afoot at the circle K
Coming from Maricopa, Arizona, this collection of body-worn camera footage covers a recent Officer Involved Shooting at a local Circle K convenience store. Viewer discretion is advised. Maricopa police attempt to interdict and apprehend Keith Prock, 38, on several outstanding warrants. However, as one of the officers close in on Prock, he turns and shoots the officer, who goes down. A second officer pursues and drops Prock with his handgun. His perspective begins at 0:27. After his partner goes down, the second officer exchanges most of a magazine with Prock, who goes down at 0:43, and is nearly hit by a fleeing vehicle. Somewhat incredibly, a screaming woman decides that the appropriate tactical and logical decision is to get closer to the high-stress situation with guns in it. She is roundly corrected by the police officer before he doubles back to check on his downed buddy. Thankfully, another officer is already there, rendering aid- although frankly I'd like to see a little more urgency with the TQ. If it's needed, it's needed quickly. We then see the incident slowed down, presumably for the benefit of court proceedings. Although Prock was killed on-scene, the shot officer is currently in stable condition at an area hospital. No other persons were harmed.
