Screawwwwwww! MERICAH!
Awesome video dude
Stay great Scott 🫡
Nice video dude
Did you arrest gremlins?
You can tell Scott is a good dude because he was a cop for several years and NEVER BRINGS IT UP. This is like the first or second time he's mentioned it in like 2,000 videos, because he wasn't defined by having a badge.
I didn't know he was a state t...
Police are cowards now.. really?
@RobertSnell-nz4oo hes said it before
@meateater4life551what do you mean a coward?
@@col.cottonhill6655like the guy above said he's only mentioned it a few times in 2000 videos. It would make sense that not many people knew he was a trooper. Unless you're a hardcore super fan you're not gonna watch every single video Scott has while also remembering all the things he's told us.
"I'm the reason you can't sleep at night, BRAD." And then walks off cackling: chef's kiss.
@@MasterMewtwo239 I’ve heard that Brad is actually a nice guy. And he definitely does shoot better than Scott.
@@BamBam-qt8wq okay Brad, I'm on to you
@@BamBam-qt8wqgitouttaheeeeeerrrrrre Brad
Brad was able to be at 90% because that's what he can do. Scott got 100% because that's all they had.
@@BamBam-qt8wqI really wanna hear the backstory on this now. Perhaps Scott sends an invite for a friendly shoot-off at the range one day?
Scott is the real-life equivalent of Tackleberry from Police Academy, but with many muscles.
lol. I never noticed that before, but now that you mention it!!
Oh damn, that's good!
I can see that.
I can never unsee that now
People under 20 will never understand this reference :)))
lets be honest your dad is a hero for being able to hold the camera steady while you do all your silly stuff
And he saved his life🤕🤕🤕
Edit: OMG 😱 THIS IS THE MOST LIKES I EVER GOT THANK U SO MUCH
@@NoiceGivensoh yeah that’s a given, he’s a great dad
You spelled shenanigans wrong
I never knew his dad was the cameraman. That's really cool
Probably got used to it, watching him growing up. 😆
I snort-laughed when Scooter said STOP RESISTING lmao
Nah when he ran with the cuffs on saying they didn't give him a key for those 😂😂😂
He should make that intro again as its own video, but this time with healthbars.
you can tell he's been to cop training, thats day 1.
I hated getting stopped resisted. Just forfeit all your rights and do what they say or you will pay. Even if you don't resist arrest
I did when he called him a state pooper!😂
My wife still has the S&W Model 66 that rode her duty belt (and permanently rehabilitated a child rapist who stabbed her) back in the 90’s in south Texas. That Remington 125 SJHP did the job.
God bless your wife for her service.

What was your favorite duty weapon? I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

Hahahah duty.

This video hit home. I have my dad's S&W Highway Patrol 357 mag from when he carried it as a cop. He gave me his cuffs when I became an Army MP officer. 💚 RIP dad. ❤
Sorry for your loss :(
Dad's are the best. I miss mine dearly.
I have a model 28 as well. Amazing gun
The older we get ...
The smarter Dad gets ...
Sorry 4 your loss may your father rest in peace 🙏 thank you 4 your service, my cousin was an mp in the airforce without soldiers we wouldn't be free 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I live in California, never fired a weapon, don't own a gun, but, I can't stop watching this channel! Keep up the great work, Scott!
I’m truly sorry for you. Also what’s your job if you can live there?!
RIP homie
You should consider getting a travel visa so that you can book a plane from California to USA.

*gets pulled over by Scott
Scott: license and registration please
Me: Pulls out eggplant
Scott:….
Me:……
Scott:…… NOBODY LIKES EGGPLANTS!!!
*read in a news anchor voice*
Breaking over night, a Kentucky State Police officer went on a vegetable murder rampage, destroying $10,000 worth of eggplants in several grocery stores across the state.
Senior produce correspondent ema nekaf on the ground with more information. Take it away Ema.
Ema: this all started when KSP officer Scott Ballistic was threatened with an eggplant while performing a traffic stop. After screaming "nobody likes eggplants" loud enough to break windows, Scott proceeded to punt the eggplant 73 yards down the highway.
Following this he seems to have had a mental break and went on a vegetable destroying rampage, using vehicles, guns, and his feet to destroy the eggplant sticks of at least 8 different grocery stores.
better than a watermelon that's for sure!
Me: pulls out alarm clock and two watermelons
My dad is a retired NC state trooper, and 2 weeks ago, he gave me his S&W 686 that he carried during his career. And it has the NCSHP badge engraved in it as well!
So the cops in the US can keep their service weapon after they retire? That's pretty cool.
@@jep1st more often than not, yes. And if I remember correctly, the agency they work for can’t give them to the officers for free (actually, that probably varies depending on the agency and where it’s located and all that), so they would sell them for like, $1. Because if they were switching to a new duty weapon, there’s no point in having all these guns that aren’t being used anymore just sitting around.
@@IAMHyde I wish that were the case with us. We switched from the Glock 22 gen 4 to the new gen 5 and they wanted to try to sell us our old duty weapons for like $30 less than you could find one in any gun store (these guns have been dogged, 1000's and 1000's of rounds sent through them too btw)
Which county did he work in only asking cause i live in NC
My grandfather also gave me his retired 686 engraved ncshp! So cool to have
I’ve been a casual viewer for a while and I never knew you were a state trooper. That honestly tells me a lot about how humble of a person you are. Keep it up man
Scott: Dad, I want to leave my law enforcement career to be a full time gun tuber.
Dad: There's a thumb in your future, son.
Scott: Dad, I want to leave my law enforcement career to be a full time gun tuber.
Dad: (Gives his son a thumbs-up) *foreshadowing*
@@bdwilcox not gonna lie, it would be interesting if Kentucky State Troopers carried Desert Eagles as duty guns!!!
"I'm the reason you can't sleep at night, Brad!" *maniacal cackle*
I'm dying here! XD
Scott's sense of humor is delightful.
Great video, Scott! I was a deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for 28 years. We were issued the S&W Model 15 .38 Special in the academy. Over the years I’ve also carried a 4” S&W mod. 686, a Beretta M9, an HK USP .45, an Sig P220 .45, and a S&W M&P 9mm.
My off duty pistols were a Smith mod. 60, and a Smith mod. 66 2-1/2”, and an HK P2000 9mm.
Now that I’m retired I usually carry a Sig P365.
Glad you made it to the finish line and got out of the business, brother.
My Great Uncle was a Kentucky State Trooper! I have his old S&W now, it shoots and looks as nice as the day he got it
🐽
🍩
Be careful with it, it is probably linked to several unsolved murders
Ignore the haters, friend. Stupid is as stupid does ;)
My dad was in law enforcement for 38 years. His go to was a Colt python, when he was promoted to Homicide. Chambered in .357, 4 inch barrel. His very first gun was the iconic SW 686 which I still have. His last gun owned was a Glock 17 first Gen, still runs like a champ. Thanks, Scott, for bringing back some cool memories when my dad was a very proud police officer and Detective. God rest his soul.
Dang the 500 Magnum at the end got me 😂
Yeah, if ya can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen! Laughing 😂
Take care!
This makes sense. Only 20% of people can graduate a police academy and make it to full retirement. Those that can are truly elite.
Or they're good at graft and freeloading.
they issued S&W model 19 in the 1960' s then the model 66 and then the switched to the 686 because they adjustable sights. They moved to the S&W 10 mm in the early 1990's
Imagine Scott pulling up to the side of your car telling you that your tail light was out. Absolute unit with a heart of gold.
Thank you for your service Scott
We need an hour of police stories, like crazy situations, funny things, weirdest arrests. it would totally be worth the time.
"Dirty Scotty" with his S&W 500 Mag.🤣......You just got jammed.
Scooter: "YOU WILL RESPEK MY AUTHORITIE"
Officer Cartman
Friend of my uncle served as Texas trooper carried , a STI Perfect 10 mm auto with metal piercing bullets and during in Vietnam war, he was a SOG and a "tunnel rat" carried a S&W model 29 loaded with custom 44mag metal piercing bullets. Friend of my other uncle living in NY who worked as NYPD during 35 years detective carried a Browning high power with magazines of 20 bullets 9 mm para, he carried it until he retired. Friend of my cousin, sergeant in Abylene police departement, carries a Para Ordnance P14-45 with two magazines of 14 rounds filled with black hills ammo
That intro was something else 😂😂😂
Real
@@Anakin-Skywalker2Real
Really gottem with that "state pooper" zinger
Lmao
His intros are all something else lol
Awesome as always Scott! Never miss a vid. Firstly, *THANK YOU* for your service to the people! I am fully cognizant and grateful of the fact that you laid your life on the line everyday for the naïve masses. That takes a special kind of person. I did wonder why you left law enforcement, though. Now I know. Actually, you just confirmed my suspicions. From what I gather you are doing far better for yourself and family with this UA-cam masterpiece. I can't wait for the next video!!
Loved the intro with "State Trooper Scooter" 🤣🤣
Scooter is hilarious
That was hilarious
You mean State Pooper?
The most-feared weapon of the Kentucky State Police? The supercilious stare. Hands down.
Personally I think the arrogant stare is very sociopathic
@@neirdoandrew5344Don’t take it personally it’s part of the uniform issue.
@@Jcs57Lemme see your WAR FACE!
@@rdrrrAAAAARGH!! Great reference!
As a PA State Trooper...I like this video! Very nicely done Scott. And I thought the gray god joke was made for us. I'm happy we share it with an agency as professional as KSP!
When Scott put that trooper hat on you can definitely see cop Scott and he wears it well
That's why they're called Smokys!!(Tha Bear)🙄
Off camera thats all Scott wears.
Honestly watching the channel’s earliest vids made it clear to me that Scott was a statie. He had the clipped, professional tone and posture that a lot of state agencies foster, watching that quickly evolve to a more personal touch has been fun. Can’t even imagine him as a road pirate now.
Unless we’re talking more Mad Max and less trooper….
A "road pirate"...?!
Ah Scooter...It's basically Scott as a 6 year old. Fighting with your inner child is a real challenge these days!
I imagine that you are a young and impudent youth who was speeding in his tall pickup truck. And then the police will stop you. An officer approaches you and he is still taller than a pickup truck.
Back when state police had standards. Most troopers in many states had to be over 6ft I know Texas and Louisiana used to.
And stronger and more resilient than your truck
And has a .500 magnum.
Texas had a State Trooper that could look at ya in your big truck without getting on the steps.
I honestly don't know if they teach them in their academy or what, but state troopers/highway patrolmen always seem to have a super-erect stance and swagger to them. Like drill sergeants/drill instructors. Maybe it's the vests under their shirts (if they wear them) or the high-and-tight or the campaign hats in a lot of states, but there's just a particular stance to them--ramrod straight, chest out, elbows back, arms slightly out from the sides, jaw jutting out, chin high--that makes them intimidating. If it's taught, they learn it well.
My daddy was a sheriff’s deputy in our county in the Shenandoah Valley of VA. and he carried a .357 magnum S&W revolver until he retired in 1988. I would love this to be the start of a series on the firearms of law enforcement
That's a good idea
I dig the idea.
That’s a great idea!
My family was all military
This is an excellent suggestion!😃
Friendly fire between scooter and Scott, LOL. Loved the vid as always!
That 686 is a piece of art.
I have a 586, same gun, not stainless. Best handgun I own, hands down. Forget the Colt Python. 586/686 supremacy.
My opinion the 686 is the best revolver ever made. I've had 5 of them, different barrel lengths. Fantastic guns.
@@SA12StringThe 5/686 is better in basically every way except maybe competition shooting.
S&W's revolvers have always been better than Colt's, IMO. More rugged and the timing is less finicky. Though I'm open to examples to the contrary.
@@jorgejiminez-rk1uu I'll give you this as well, a blued OG Python is a work of art
@@SA12StringCan’t knock the Python which has earned quite a legacy among wheel-gun aficionados. IMO, the only slight tactical advantage of the 686 is S&Ws ejector button which is pushed compared to the pulling action of a Colt.
My father was a police officer for 30 years. He was one of the last officers to still carry a revolver. When I asked him why he didn't carry a semiautomatic, something with more rounds in it, he responded, "If you can't hit 'em with 6 then you shouldn't be shooting."
That logic isn't too good. What if the guy is behind cover? What about multiple suspects? There have been many cases where people a lot better at shooting than us needed a lot of rounds
@@lardomcfarty9866yea his dad was Officer Fudd. Lol
Bad logic. Things to consider are A) What happens when you run out of ammo and bad guy is still a threat? B)Reloading a revolver even with a speed loader under pressure is significantly harder than reloading a magazine and C) What happens when suspect is shooting from cover and your rounds miss/hit the cover he is behind. No disrespect to your old man, but don't follow that advice.
@@jakemensik2842they run and call for backup like always. 🤷🏼
If you learn how to use speed loaders. You have more ammo, in a more reliable weapon. My favorite was always the Colt Python 357 magnum 4 inch barrel in stainless steel, and the Colt neoprene combat grips.
I was in the Marines back in 1987-1991. My MOS was 0317 and 5111. WE carried the Colt 1911A1 45 ACP. Then i switched to the Sig Sauer P220 45 ACP. I joined my police dept
Back in 1993, after getting my degree in police science. I paid for my academy too. We carried the 357 Colt Python 4 inch. I used the Safariland Sam Brown belt with the 999 bianchi trooper holster. 2 speed loader cases. My PR-24. 2 handcuffs and my mag light and mace. Then in 1993 my dept. Switched to the Smith Wesson 4506 45 cal. Oc pepper spray, ASP BATON, and stinger flashlight. Big changes. We switched to Sig Sauer P220 45 ACP then IN 2014 we switched to the Sig Sauer P320 45 ACP. I carried my Smith and Wesson 4006 40 cal off duty or my glock 22 40 cal.
@@DougSpende-eb2fz Thank you so much for your service sir, what load did you carry for duty in your Colt Python?
Riiiiiiight…….
my Brother went to the Marines , sister to the Army , I went to prison in Ohio.but good news is ill never have to worry about jury duty
I was in the KSP Academy January 1994-June 1994. I was issued the 1076 then transitioned to the Glock 35. I bought my 1076 and 35. You just cannot beat the power of the 1076! That 10mm did some serious damage. My best friend who went on to become Captain, took a suspect’s hand off with his 1076 reaching under the seat for a handgun.
Kerbal Space Program? Lol j/k
10mm was common 1990s but as the FBI drifted away, so did the other US law enforcement groups. I owned a Glock factory grey Model 20 10mm gen 4 for around 30mo. The 10mm was ✅️ . No problems or feeding problems.
Would've been a perfect opportunity for him to have shouted, "UNHAND that weapon, sir!"
@@darkwriter77why did I read that in a British accent?
FBI had problems with agents with small hands and limp wrists. That's when they went to the 10 lite or the later .40S&W
Considering you're likely to meet large wildlife, like a T-Rex, while on patrol of the range in the KBLEA, it's a logical choice to issue the .500 Magnum as a side arm. Just, don't let Scooter have one.
If that's your sidearm what's your main? 🤨
@@john_barnett4 bore ofc
@@Bombingham Nah, you have that secured in the vehicle for situational use. Your main is the CZ 550 chambered in .416 Rigby.
@@theubienah, I would say the .577 Tyrannosaur
Its cool to see the pistol trends and to see how they line up with recorded events.
A semi auto 10mm - Four years after the FBI Miami shootout.
40 S&W - when it became the trend.
9mm - Four years after the FBI summary about 9mm.
2011 - Because of John Wick, of course.
I was on the road in 84'. Everyone was switching over to the Berretta or the Glock. I opted out of the change and retained my 4" S&W Model 28 "N" frame in .357. WIth two comp II safariland speed loaders. A few weeks later the guys started that Matt Dillion name calling. Screw it thought. I'm comfortable and assured of my abilities. Change is not always a good thing.
Maybe those changes are good for most people, and for new people, it might be way better.
But going from hundreds our practice hours and countless rounds fired on an "old, not so good" platform to the "new and improved" one really isn't the best deal out there.
I'd probably had done the same as you.
@@jpesmarAgreed!
If possible I would have never swapped an N frame 357 for the Glock or Beretta. I mean no disrespect to Glock or beretta, but I practice with revolvers far more than semi autos.
8:29 got every single brad out there sweating
Sth i needa add is that the spear gold dot g2s is a beast with the 9mm glock
Even with that huge berm Brad is still catching strays
I’ve been running G2’s RIP rounds but now I’m switch to the Gold Dot G2 because damn that was impressive. I may still run the RIP round but have the Gold Dot every other. Right now I’m just running +p every other incase I need to shoot through a car. The RIP rounds are useless against cars lmao
That S&W has some of the best chrome I've ever seen...!!! Wow...!!!
Just imagining a police force issuing .500S&W is hilarious!
The Alaska State Troopers do
I knew a reservation cop in Yuma, Az that carried a .44 Mag Desert Eagle. It was really the only weapon that would fit his hand. Holstered on his hip it looked like a Browning Hi Power would on a regular sized officer.
Considering that from what I gathered, most police department was afraid of the image the 357 magnum was giving. Some as per the scuttle but, was that they were afraid that some policeman armed with a magnum would go full Rambo. If the police department chief doesn't trust that his officers are going to do their job in a professional way, then he should have not hired them. Just saying. Most policeman I have encountered over the years are grounded and don't let it go to their heads, my dad included.
@@DenisR-tt1oe That may be true with many city police departments, but the .357 mag was quite common in many parts of the country. Out of 38 years I only carried the .38 Spcl (S&W M-10) for 2 years, and the 9mm never. The rest was .357 Mag, .45ACP or .40 S&W. I still practice with one of my .357s for proficiency.
@@jb6027 😃
Scott, please never stop filming Scooter segments 😂😂 your theatrical presence is inspiring
Cant believe my first comment is gonna be you know someone is a real and genuine cop,State trooper or anything service related by the fact they dont bring it up so much, let it define them and so fourth.
I have my grandpa’s issued revolver from when he was Chief of Police in my sleepy little southern mountain town. Smith & Wesson Police Revolver (the iconic Model 10) .38 Special. To say I almost cried being given that is an understatement.
Would that be the 🎶Sleepy Little Town of Pascagoula 🎶 where the squirrel went berserk, in the First Self-Righteous Church?
Same here only he was a wrecker driver that happened to be deputized mine is a 10-5
Keep in mind that prior to the mid-90s, that Remington .357 load would have been loaded about 8000 PSI hotter and about 200 fps faster.
That 10mm was interesting. I would have loved to know what it chrono'd.
We had the Federal Hydrashok 200 grain 10mm ammunition as our option for an off duty or back up caliber since we were issued 124 grain +P+ Hydrashok in our Glock 19. We also had the 147 grain +P+ .38 Special ammunition. We couldn’t carry a .45 caliber pistol because of politics.
From what I heard, the Federal Hydrashok in 10mm wasn’t loaded to real 10mm performance. The Georgia Arms 10mm 165 Grain Gold Dot was only 1100 FPS. I know Underwood back around 2009 was loading some really good 10mm ammunition. The 180 grain Gold Dot was no joke.
if only Scott had a chronograph... :D
I didn't know you used to be an officer, Scott. Thank you for your service.
Well now you're Scott the Shot Man Desheilds. "Oooh, oooh, oooh. More powder!"
My dad was the constable in a small district in Texas. Since it was an elected position, he chose to carry an old muzzle loader: Walker .44. He joked that if the lead didn’t get ‘em, the fire ball would.
Did he get to ride a horse?
Well, he could always say that he had a good argument in hand, when it was necessary to resolve disagreements 😁
@@rdrrr he was a man of generous proportions so he spared the horse.
You could say………..he had a big iron on his hip.
@@billklemm7284 I can picture him now. Wonderful mental image, thank you very much.
Fun fact, the vast majority of hand cuffs work with the same key.
They can be purchased off Amazon and may be a decent investment depending in your lifestyle.
been arrested so many times here in Kentucky and they no I'm harmless and unless its a new rookie cop they toss me the cuffs , Put my own cuffs on! jump in the back. im no role model but OK for a criminal anyway
I'm just impressed he went the whole video without making a "hehe, duty" joke.
I carried the Staccato P Duo when I was a cop. Either on patrol pushing a tin can down the road or on SWAT, that pistol just worked and worked quite well.
I’ve also got an FBI 1076, and yes she’s still getting holster time.
Thanks Scott!
1076 two thumbs up, love em'
remember when the NJ state police used the HK P7
I assumed military, but copper makes perfect sense, too. Whatevs, loving your stuff, keep on , my friend

after that hell no
Lol i remember when they told dad he couldn't carry his .357 anymore and issued the .40 short&weak 😄 he still carries his Model 19 Smith for his conceal carry and buddy you couldn't pay me to get into a shootout with that man 😂
Has Scooter been eating "Tide pods" again ? 😂
Props to the editing in the intro, for a sec a forgot that Scooter actually is Sco… you know what let’s just not ruin the “Santa is real” thing in here 😂😂😂

lmfao, i love your skits, half the reason i watch this channel over others, scot is funny
Nope
S&W 686 4 in barrel, in stainless was my first duty carry weapon. Carried 147gr. Winchester Silvertip(Werewolf Bullets). That was back in 1987 The department didn't issue any guns. Had to carry your own.
I inherited my great great grandfather’s model 27 (the first .357 magnum revolver) from when he was a sheriff in the 1930’s.
The KSP is older than the 686. What they carried early on would be interesting. When I started the County Sheriffs in 1974 my first issue was a S&W 36 with 11 rounds of 158 round nose lead ammo. Ended 2021 with a Glock 17 Gen5 which I still have.
My father worked for chp for 37 years, I can remember shooting a 686 in my youth. It was the first real caliber I learned to shoot. What a great revolver.
The S&W 686 was my first duty weapon. Very nice gun.
As a former police officer, I loved this video. IIRC, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol carried S&W 64's back in revolver days. I do remember seeing them as a kid. I can say for sure that sometime in the late 80's early 90's, they switched to Glocks, the troopers I knew were carrying G22 .40S&W although may be other authorized guns as well. Not sure what they switched to after that but I think they went a G17 9mm and then a Sig P320 with the option of carrying the G17 if they choose.
At my department we had our choice of several different guns approved by the city, which makes sense since we had to provide our own. I started with a GP100 because I was too poor to buy a new semi auto lol. Then switched to a used S&W 59 which I loved. After that I switched to the G21 .45acp which I also loved. I left law enforcement after that. If I were still there I would probably choose a G22MOS and then lust after the Staccato because I would be too poor to buy one lol.
Only Scott could arrest himself, dude is a legend.
I’ve watched every one of your videos for the past 2 years with my sons and this one was our favorite so far!
I could see Dirty Harry flinching when you pull out the 500 magnum...lol
have you ever watched eastwood close. do so, and see how bad he really flinches. be warned, once you see it, you cant unsee it.
@@leftyo9589 I'm afraid...I don't want to ruin my childhood...lol
Those old Smiths are works of art. One of the finest revolvers ever made.
So cool you were able to acquire your actual duty weapon.
Another Kentucky video, today’s a good day!
I can't tell if Scott and Scooter are brothers or if Scooter is just the weird kid from next door that grew up
Scooter is his father. 😱
What???..........
@@XuroX. I don't think my comment left any room for interpretation or misreading...
Scott would be the real life version of the rock in the fast and furious series by carrying a .500 magnum around as a sidearm
It’s interesting that over time, the Kentucky police have a tendency to reduce the power of the cartridge 357 Mag - 10 mm - 40 SW - 9 mm. And in Russia everything is even more interesting, here the Makarov Pistol (PM) 9x18 mm has been used since 1951 and to this day nothing has changed.
10mm is about equal in power to. 357 mag if you use comparable barrel lengths.
Ooof. Sorry for ya
I have a Makarov here, along with its lanyard-equipped grip. I really like it but I can understand wanting something more as a duty piece!
Are there any plans to replace the Makarov in police service? Or is it still "good enough"?
@@rdrrrда, в 2021 году был принят на вооружение пистолет Лебедева (Lebedev pistol), 14 патронов 9x19mm. Но я думаю процесс замены будет не очень быстрым.
Well I guess scooter wasn’t a State Trooper for that long😂
😂😂😂 iA was probably all over him for carrying the s&w 500 hahahb
Given Scooter's intelligence quotient...He wasn't long for the job.
"Very excited to see how these perform." *BLAM* "oooooOOOOOoooohh!" 😆
13:30 I don't know why I expected anything less 😂
Also, most guys first get into firearms from their dad, but I got into them from my mom. She was a cop in Illinois in the early 80s, and she carried a Smith and Wesson Model 13-1 .357 Magnum that I still have.
I remember a trooper coming to our school in Ballard county when I was in middle school. When he asked if we had any questions we asked about his pistol and it was the S&W 1076. That was actually the first 10mm I ever saw in person. That was probably 91ish, so they hadn’t been carrying them long.
All I could think of during the opening was Cartman from South Park 😂 shame his delivery of 'the line' wasn't the same 😂
Scott is such a wholesome, fun loving guy, that I sometimes forget he could snap me in half or pick me off at half a mile if he wanted to.
It's amazing you were a part of the force! Even more so that you still have your actual pistol they issued you! That alone made it my favorite of the vid!
Definitely the 10MM Smith and Wesson.....They just give me that 90's cop show vibes!!!!
I picked you for a county deputy. Hats off to you for being a brother Trooper. From a retired NY Trooper, stay safe, brother.
My first Police Chief was an old Vietnam vet who hated the old M-16’s and said none of his patrolmen were going to carry “a dang plastic gun” (Glock) so we had the .40cal Sig 226. Nice pistol but heavy.
My duty gun...I bought it for security work in Montana, I moved to Florida, my county Deputies, carry the same thing!! (BCSO) The Walther, CREED. (9MM)
He's like a ballerina twirling those tables around 😂.
Not gonna lie, I saw the thumbnail and pulled my truck over. I wasn't even driving. In fact I wasn't even in my truck, just goofing off at my desk. I still felt guilty about something though, not sure what. Thanks Scott!
we've all had jobs we're not proud of.. i washed dishes at home town buffet and slept with most of the waiting staff.. i too left to pursue better passions.. never let your body count define you..
Thank you for your service, I started in law enforcement in 2006 18 years and counting, and love the law enforcement tribute. Keep up the great work.
And thank you for yours. Not sure why, but most of you seem a little uncomfortable to hear that in person - at least from my experience. Two of my good friends from grade school are in law enforcement, so I get how thankless it can be and try to express gratitude where I can. Even moreso because a lot of current LEOs are also military veterans
@@xion1629 thank you even when I’m off duty and see another police officer I think them for their service all the time. I think deep down every law-enforcement officer feels good when they hear it.
I sleep just fine thank you 8:46😂😂😂😂
Good to hear, dont want scott giving someone sleep disorders
Ha! I always had a feeling that Scott had a military and/or police background! Cool!
From a Retired AK State Trooper, enjoy the heck out of this video, about time a real cop is on UA-cam. Carried the 686 till we switched to the .40 S&W 4006 in 92' for a decade. A clunker, hated it. Switched to the Glock 22 in .40 and carried it until retired. Liked it a lot. They now went to the G17 with an optic in 9mm just this year which seems to be the trend nationally like the .40 was once. For a personal hiking, fishing gun in grizzly bear country I carry a G20 in 10mm with hard casts that I find easier to shoot than the G22.
My buddy Rich, he hard casted .44s out of wheel weights. He just went to the junkyard, filled a coffee can, and went home and cast and loaded all day. (Vietnam vet)
Donut Operator is another real cop on youtube, he left the department years ago right around the time he started posting on youtube. You should check out his channel if you like police content
