The last thing you do is get right next to a criminal even if you have a gun. You can easily have a gun turned against you. You tell them to freeze, slowly raise their hands, turn then get on the floor with their hands behind their back, shoot dead in the center if he does not comply, then report it immediately and if necessary, get backup, or something… at least that’s what I would do if I had a gun, but I have no training.
Seriously, no one who is trained for this will walk up to the suspect with their gun. If you underestimate the suspect, he can grab the gun or worse an accidental discharge.
Accidental discharge would only happen if he was really excited. Maybe if one of them was female. I often discharge accidently when wrestling with women.
I think the cop went up close to the robber because he thought that the robber might have a weapon and harm the cashier. The cop doesn’t want to shoot through the robber and into the cashier either…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m not sure security guards can even carry guns. And he looks pretty “official” judging by his clothes.
But what do I know?
You gotta respect the man for not shooting the robber on the spot for resisting arrest, and instead holstering his piece and attempting to subdue him by other means.
Yes, I saw this clip on the evening news, and that was the same backstory I heard. The cop was there to pick up the security camera video from the robbery just previous.
LOL This was on my hometown news, actually not too far from where I live in Ohio. The cop was at that walgreens to get the security tape from a robbery that had occured EARLIER THAT DAY! If you’re going to rob a drug store, make sure someone else hasn’t hit it first.
dude i want to know whats wrong with the cop who didn’t taze his ass on the spot with his stun gun rather than make false threats with his gun because he knows his fat ass is insacure and cant take a life at least there was a off duty police officer there ass back up.
A robber appears!
Shop uses Security Guard!
It’s not very effective.
Shop uses Fat Staff Member!
You’re a fat staff member
You’re a towel.
A towel makes me feel great after a swim.
You’re a great feeling after a swim
You are starting a great thing!
you wanna get high?
I was gonna go smoke some weed, but then I got high!
Livin the high life eh? Do you think it’s great?
For a moment there a thought we were heading for a comment singularity. You are vs. AllGreatAllTheTime, endless responses.
There is no need for a battle. We can all get along great!
Did he die?
did he died*
“did he die” is also acceptable, but of course “died” is the preferred spelling.
No, he is stills alived!
thats quite some timing
Is it coincidence I was watching “Smoking Gun Presents: World’s Dumbest Criminals,” when I pulled this up? I do’t think so…

Think about baseball.

Am I the only one who realizes that it’s a cop, not a security guard?
He came in for donuts at the right time.

It depends on local laws, and the kind of security the place is paying for.
People are guessing this guy isn’t a cop because he appears to be poorly trained. So poorly trained that he probably shouldn’t be carrying regardless.
If you go through Firearms training, and you have a valid Firearms owner permit, you could be allowed to be an ARMED security officer
Depends on the state. In Oregon, you must be licensed to act as an armed security guard.

No. That police (or security guards) will not use deadly force unnecessarily is the MINIMUM we expect.
Yes, in the US, this might actually be a reason to respect him.
Not that I didn’t respect the guy. But c’mon, raise your standards.
Shop uses Fat Staff Member!
its a cop, not a security guard. he was there picking up something for a previous robbery when he walked in on a new one.
Yes, I saw this clip on the evening news, and that was the same backstory I heard. The cop was there to pick up the security camera video from the robbery just previous.
Double fail. Robber fail. Cop fail.
Never rob a donut shop.
lol the cop just stands there for a second going “really?”

Resisting arrest with a gun to his head. Either he is really lucky, or the guard/cop had no authourity to open fire and he knew it.
this is at a walgreens… why would they go for the front register and not the pharmacy?
Is that where all the money is?
That’s where all the great drugs are.
Ah, good old Dayton…home sweet home! *sigh*

I love the robber’s body language at 0:16.
“You gotta be KIDDING me!”

counter point: Im Drunk
Cop fail. Do they train them there, or just give them a badge and say “Have fun!”?
