Very thoughtful reply...well done

Watching the Date it seems to be a Day before Christmas so luckily nobody was hurt

I wanted to joke about how loud their voices carried as they were discussing their plan but knew this situation was not appropriate for a "joke" it literally can happen to anyone, anytime in any area. The long term affects some will experience and hold on to for a life time... that moment just before anyone dies .. in a threatening manner or not.. is life changing

She wasnt confused..... She wanted her phone so that she could blab on twitter... unreal

Thanks for the info 🙌🏻💯😎🍻

Were u there?

@@MeandmyLife24 I wasn't, but I looked through numerous articles until I found an updated one from a Sevierville, Tennessee news outlet where it happened.

Did they died?

Thanks for the backstory, usually active shooters don’t go down like that…Watching this really makes me appreciate what these officers do….no the police aren’t perfect but it sure takes nerves of steal to walk down those isles not knowing what could pop out, and pop off on you…..

I've cleared many a room by pooting.

Yea we used to hid in the clothes as a kid

@@ddsherds50 lmao I forgot I used to do that.

In Afghanistan, every room is an enemy to me so I throw grenades in each room

@@bruhmeme8966 lmao 🤣 frag out!!

so many places to hide in a Store like that

It did mine too, but at the same time. It was a brilliant move. Idk if I'd have even thought of that. They always say during an active shooter to run if you can, hide if you cant, and if you cant do either then fight for your life.

That broke me

That was a 20 yr old with a Miley Cyrus haircut

That’s America for you

I've worked in retail for 20 years and frankly, I was more interested in how the back room was laid out. I laughed when that officer looked down the stockroom and said, 'Aw... Jesus '. But I agree. Don't they have posted layouts throughout the store?

@@glennkonklin2926 They do but the main issue we've found is layouts for the non-customer areas aren't anywhere. Not to mention employees have their go to places, they know where the best hiding places, secure areas, and fast egress points are, but responders have no clue usually. The back room in the video for example, every section of steel and racking back there has the potential for someone to be either hiding there, or waiting in ambush. Large retail spaces are often overlooked for emergency planning. I know some places are proactive with it but in most cases the store has it's protocall, the police has theirs, and very rarely if ever do they actually have a conversation about it. I mean hell, ask any member of management how many employees are on shift and they have no clue. Emergency services asks if everyone is out and all they can do is shrug. Local services NEEDS to train along side these massive retail chains.

They DO know how to clear centers, store maps are useless, you clear every room the same tactics don't change just because its a walmart or a walgreens or any other store. Also they do train in shopping malls often, just depends on the department.

@@glennkonklin2926 for the front areas yes, some stores have the back maps as well for emergency fire or natural disaster evacs for the employees, but those are usually posted in the training or break areas, in the back. I was more eluding to the idea that local emergency services at least walkthrough their local retail stores from time to time, as well as meeting with management. In a situation like the one here, the more information law enforcement has the better the outcome will be.

Being a municipal cop, I completely agree. Essentially all of our active shooter training is tailored to schools/office buildings. Our department has done zero training in super market settings. Completely different layouts physically which generates different responses tactically. Something our department has recognized but failed to implement into the training unfortunately.

I'll tell you what's terrifying is adults that don't carry a gun to protect themselves. The only people that follow the rules are the people you don't need to worry about to start with. When bad guys see a, "Gun free zone", sign all they see is, "Free Buffet"!

Mine do. We practice scenarios like this and other potential safety situations.

I agree. That’s why children should stay close to their parents and not wander off on their own.

@@crimsoniron937 boss

Good you are not a child then, though you still think like one:)

Looked more like a bunch of adrenaline fueled killers salivating at the opportunity to use their military surplus equipment in a urban setting. They went in not with the hope that everyone was okay, but with the hope that they would get to use the heavy artillery. Honestly I'm surprised they didn't drive an APC directly into the store and drive up and down the aisles with it.

@@RyanKearney0 big balls on you. You're probably that guy that would curl up in a ball and cry like a little "garden tool" if you were in such an incident.

@@RyanKearney0 i'd be thrilled to gun down such irresponsible citizens that are risking innocent lives

@@RyanKearney0 oh boy we got a cop hating keyboard warrior over here 🤣

@@RyanKearney0 so.. they shouldn't wear safety equipment? or carry firearms capable of penetrating safety equipment? That's essentially your logic.. yet i don't see swat in full gear like you suggest, i didn't even see an armored vehicle. They never used flash bangs while clearing the warehouse either.. In fact they only used gear that most Americans who actually exercise their given rights own.

And "show your receipt or you can't leave."

That would sound about right

Hahahaha

F Uvalde cowards.

Amen

Not all cops are good and not all cops are bad. This is not a controversial idea

Exactly,the bravery of cops in uvalde tx school shooting shows just how brave these guys are when its a false flag attack. Just allowing the guy to enter while armed cops just watched is beyond heroic. I stand by the thin blue line

Clearly, the police were trying to be brave here, but you might try picking an example where the cops actually mattered. And cops don't actually have the job of defending people. They have the job of catching bad guys when it's reasonably safe and convenient for them. The only person whose job is to defend you is you.

Yup those uvalde police sure did "protect and serve".

It happens everyday

@@lordcerberus4894 cry about it

Thats there job? And there paid well for it with benefits.

Just recently a 21 year old drunk driver killed 2 state troopers while the state troopers where helping a civilian get out of the highway. This 21 year old drunk driver had written in her twitter account that "she drives best when she is drunk" what! That's the stupidity that police officer have to deal with!

It is stressful,I had to clear buildings,homes,apts in Iraq,it's no fun.

This is more normal than what you normally see posted on the news. Millions of interactions between law biding citizens and criminals alike. The amount of time something goes wrong is almost never in the grand scheme. But the media wouldnt want you to know that.

what do you mean by this? the kids were in walmart and hid from an active shooter...

@@pro_moderngamer4943 he meant like he hates how people will start drama, fights, etc when there is kids around. (He doesn't want people creating situations that put probably anyone, but specifically children in danger)

I have read this 5 times and I have no idea what it said.

@@pro_moderngamer4943 not in Walmart in the van.

@@Marz-px6vx but it wasn’t even an active shooter? They really didn’t get their kids involved in anything, a Karen made a false police report that there was an active shooter with no shots fired and no weapon brandished

You were right to be anxious, all the initial reports were "shooter in building". It wasn't until someone accessed the video surveillance room and rolled back the tapes that they learned it was a case of brandishing weapons that started a panic. If you ask me, I think the title of this video is a bit misleading and has encouraged a lot of ignorant comments against the police's actions here.

Because someone reported it as an active shooter.

It was active when they reported maybe not after though

@@somerandomkid8414 no it wasnt, noone shot a single shot at all. hence not active shooter. more than likely somone saw this guy concealed carrying

@@auschris9296 We're you there before the officer got the call or before he turned on his body camera. Probably not so how can you state there was no active shooter. Active shooter is someone who is shooting at that moment. Not shooting until cops show up and shoot them. They are there to do the shooting then leave.

@@rickjones2534 not that day. A month before. A year before or before the store was ever even buit

I'm almost a 20 yr employee. Someone has given you wrong info.

@@donaldwoodward6899 Have you not seen the sign outside your store on the door that says no guns and knives. Yet you can buy both those things in most Walmarts

@@BIGWHIT76 guns are allowed in Walmart. Just have to be concealed

@@BIGWHIT76 next time read the sign. Asks that you not open carry, not that youu don't carry at all. I'm in a state where carry concealed doesn't need a permit.

Most officers would, the hand sitters in Uvalde deserve a jail cell.

Agreed

Huh?

I dont understand.

What?

You want city council to clear a Walmart?

@@WD-ih7vg oh, well. the tittle says active shooter so I assumed that before the officers got there that the person was shooting. Even if there was no shots fired it's still terriffiying to know that you have to run because you might get shot.

I agree with what your saying. they are in Walmart. easy to change clothes and try to blend in. Maybe someone brave was following them around the store. seen them go out with civilians. I'm not positive just a thought.

I read a report that said a member of the walmart loss prevention team reviewed security footage and relayed the two mens description to officers.

Close enough. They’d have ended up in jail later anyways.😏

Really? Some of the worst oat breaking cops get paid over $100,000.00 a year. Why would anyone that whines about "officer safety" over their oath to protect the citizens deserve to be paid more than oath keepers?

Well unless the recording equipment and monitors that have the recording on them is outside of the building you still have to clear the building before you can look at a video don't cha think?

@@skeetermcswagger0U812 what I think is that in this modern age the security system in the shop would be wired into the systems that the 911 operators use, so that they can look at what is happening.

@@matthewbaynham6286 That sure is giving a lot of undue credit to the amount of room that's available on the Internet to actually monitor all these stores and businesses during a time of crisis or crime when companys like ADT doesn't even have that capability.(Yet)

There’s another “always” there too😉

That is true. However, the basic truth about being a first responder is that you must deal with the situation you are given, and do it in the blink of an eye. You cannot pause to think about your own life, about your family, your pay grade. You just do it and hope that when it’s all over the good people are still alive.

You got videos

yeah, lmfao. I've said my fair share of that and the looks when a cop is next to you, and they realize you don't mean a bomb is absolutely hilarious😭

I live in Southern middle Tennessee and was visiting wen this happened. We left our cabin to go to Walmart, but got sidetracked and made an unplanned stop as this was happening.

At least these cops didn't kill an innocent civilian hiding in a mall that cops responded to someone acting out.I believe the girl was 14/15 yrs old.

@@powerbad696 Dude, they shot at the suspect and the teenage girl was hiding in a dressing room where they had absolutely no way to see her. It was tragic as hell, but in no way was that the fault of the officers. You must know nothing about critical incidents if you blame the police for that girl's death. 100% of it goes to the suspect that caused them to respond. Now, if she was in plain sight and got shot as they were firing at the suspect, that's different because they can clearly see the backstop, but even then it's a tragic event that was initiated by the police. God, I'd love to see what your response to a deadly threat would be. Curl up in a ball and die like a coward? That's my guess

🤨Just curious…. Do you always tell people that you’re proud of them for doing their job? The job that they applied for and get paid, pretty good in this case, to do?

@@justincasey_grabbederpussy6756 I’m going to let you think about what you said. Because it’s a little bit weird. Maybe you need to learn a little bit about the law and how most sickos walk free after being caught if they’re caught at all by the police. “Just curious” are you defending the sickos behavior or are you trying desperately to insult me because I left a positive comment about law enforcement.

@@brentlohr4439 You’re putting entirely too much thought into it bud. Not trying to defend any scumbag that’s out there breaking the law and intentionally harming people. Nor am I attempting to insult you. I’m just simply asking if you applaud everyone that does the job that they applied for and get paid to do. What about linemen? They’re jobs are dangerous and if not for them we wouldn’t have our electricity, communication, etc.. Or ironworkers, night shift convenience store employees, EMT’s… The list of jobs that can be dangerous, and are very important to everyone’s health, comfort, livelihood, safety, and that we should applaud is endless. So with that being said, once again, do you applaud everyone for doing the job that they applied for and get paid to do? Or just cops?
