Let's just say if I posted something like that (which I never would BTW) I would have added something more to the warning.

Honestly SB, you should either get immune to stuff like this, Or your career in LE is going to be short lived. If you cant take this, how are you going to take responding to an accident where a 8 year old was ejected through the wideshield and the mother is sliced in half because not only did she jump the median, on impact her car was cut in half by a pole also. ( Just one of the bad accidents ive seen on the I-5)

My bad, I thought SB had ambitions of becomming an Officer. Please accept my appology.

that vid has been around a while and I would be surprised if there is any LEOs anywhere who have not seen that video.

No biggie sr. Guess I just wasn't ready for it and I'll know better next time.

I didn't open it and won't.
Frankly the only reason someone who is in Law Enforcement would post something like those types of gory things on a place like this is for some sick shock value. Trust me once you have seen two or three in person the voyueristic value of crap like that is looong gone.
If you are not in Law Enforcement, then I guess I can see some very minor value in seeing those types of things once or twice. Anything beyond that is again voyeristic and sensational and a little on the sick side.
It reminds me of people who watch those "Death" videos or go on the net to see people get their heads cut off by terrorists.
Yeah there is "some bad shit happening out there". Do I have to see it on here. Not unless I open it I guess.
Hope I never see any of it either in person or on computer again. I've had my fill about twenty five years before I retired.

Although graphic I did see value in watching the video. I serves as a huge reminder to conduct a thorough search. Not only from the officer safety aspect (it could have been the officer that got shot) but the liability aspect as well (I can only imagine the civil lawsuit and the mounds and mounds of departmental paperwork that results). You don't want to put yourself in either position. So if by showing this video, it makes one officer think back to what he/she saw, and they find that hidden gun and we don't have to go to another funeral, then I think its all worth it.

You are probably right. I guess I am beginning to look at things from the warm and fuzzy side of old man hood. If one officer can be saved then I guess it's all good. I still won't be opening stuff like that though, and to be fair to the original poster, he did give a warning, which alerted me to not open it.
To each his own.

As if you guys need any more of a reminder these days as to what could go wrong. You people are well trained and IMO better know how things could go sideways in the blink of an eye with or without a video of some dude killing himself.

I did open it...and it was NASTY!!!!!!!!:shock: As was said before, if it helps remind someone to CAREFULLY search every prisoner, I guess it is tolerable.
Be safe out there...

That was crazy.
RetCHP brought up a good point. With the internet, it is so easy to find all sorts of sick videos of people getting hurt/killed. How strange to be exposed to all manner of horror without having to experience it first-hand.
This was really an eye-opener.

I agree. Seeing things like that every once in a while is a great cure for complacency. As the years pile on uneventfully, it's easy for some to be lulled into a false sense of security and start slipping on their tactics, searches, etc. You've searched thousands of people and never found a gun, so what are the odds of THIS guy/gal having one? News flash - the odds are the same on EVERY stop - unknown - regardless of whether it's your first search or your 10,000th. Those of you who've watched the video, take a good look at that gun - it's a full-size, large frame automatic, stuffed right in the front of his waistband....not some little throwdown pocket gun that he "kiestered" or had stashed in some hard-to-find spot.
Here's what I heard was the background on that video - he had just shot a deputy on a traffic stop (fortunately, the deputy survived), and fled the scene. The PD took him into custody, cuffed him and stuffed him into their back seat. They turned him over to the SO, who assumed that the PD had searched him. They took custody of him, threw him in their car and transported him to the station for questioning/booking. You saw the rest.
For those of you whose curiosity may be provoked by the discussion about the video - don't watch it unless you can handle very graphic violence. It's not for the faint of heart.

I've got dial-up. Can somebody PM me what happenes? Trust me, I can take it.

I'm assuming, after reading the posts this is the video of the guy who pulls a .45 from his waistband and self-destructs. I have dial-up right now also but I saw it last year, shortly before one of my friends (a sergeant on our department) exited this life in the same way. That was the prevailing impact with me, not just the officer safety issue. I can still see this video in my head - vividly.

That's the one Mentor. I made the mistake of watching it a couple of days ago and it's still on my mind.

Ummm... I'm in LE and have seen the video several times, yet I think saying "I don't think I needed to see that" still applies. Stuff like that is not something anyone should "get used to" and if you do "get used to it," you should think about counseling. A buddy of mine worked for AMR (ambulance company) for almost a decade before coming on the job. His advice was that if you don't need to be involved/look/gawk at something, don't. It all ads up. Yes, there is a lot we have to deal with and it is part of the job. For me, when working, it is all "part of the job" but I don't go out on my off time looking at gory stuff for fun -- the rotten.com stuff.
I didn't open it and won't.

Retchp, I read this after my last post. Once again, you've hit the nail on the head.
Definitely has a purpose as a training video, though.
