- A witness in Charlotte, North Carolina - who was home next door when an ambush killed four officers and injured four others - describes what he saw. The local police chief said the suspect, who was also killed, was armed with a .40-caliber handgun and an AR-15 rifle with ammunition that could pierce the officers’ body armor.

Ambush? I thought they were serving a warrant
The subject started shooting first, then another person started shooting from a different location in the house.
Title is misleading. The officers were ambushed.
Irresponsible judges and prosecutors allowed this violent felon to run free.
You think it's possible that we really need to turn neighborhoods into war zones over a 2 year felony charge?
Is it possible that these cops were just too simple minded to wait and pull the guy over?
Vilent fELoN? Care to name the charges he was convicted of that would be considered a violent felony?
@@bradsanders407 28 arrests, usually say something about the person.
@bradsanders407
Felon in possession of a firearm is a mandatory two year automatic felony.
No, judge, no jury...two years.
I do make the assumption that the other violations stemmed from the gun possession.
@@X_X69what does 91 felony charges say about someone?
The people commenting here are a joke. This guy was a felon with a gun, end of story
There’s no end of story said it was a ambush. It is not a ambush and you are allowed to have guns so we don’t know the whole story.
@brandonhammonds36 You're so wrong about so many things it's actually incredible you can figure out how to use UA-cam. A Felon CANNOT LEGALLY OWN A GUN. The criminal was a felon.
@matthewblunderbuss4545 oooooooh, is that how it's supposed to be. Only legal good natured people have guns. The castles in Europe all look like Disney castles too.🤦
@@brandonhammonds36 felons are not alowed to have guns
@@brandonhammonds36 Since when are felons allowed to have guns? Bro just stop now, you're beyond clueless
Let's stop the spin and speculation and see the bodycam footage of what really happened.
We never will or it'll be edited
Oh wait.. their isn’t any
Exactly
Believe what they say. Period cops who lie, investigate themselves and always do nothing wrong.
HOW CAN LAW ENFORCEMENT DO THEIR JOBS IF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO FAIL
That wasn't an ambush they came to ambush that man and he caught him slipping
I think you are probably right. We are beginning to see the fruits of a corrupt DOJ and FBI. DC's minions have weaponized law enforcement and if that doesn't stop we will see tragedies like this regularly.
It sounds like this attempted arrest was justified but too often these days we're seeing the alphabet agencies door kicking at night or very early AM and several of the most notable arrests were purely political. THAT is toxic and if it continues, being a Federal agent or even a local LEO is going to become far more dangerous. If we see another stolen election this November, tens of millions of Americans are going to see and treat DC as totally illegitimate and from there it really could get ugly. I believe America fell to a Marxist coup in 2020. We COULD save the country yet, but it would require one party to agree to stop using mass mail-in of unverified ballots. They will never agree to it. I think if Trump wins and the Left cannot deny it in DC we will see a Marxist revolution in the streets.
Faks!!!
WHEN POLICE VIOLATE THEIR OATH OF DUTY NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING.
Which is every second of every day
@Beethechange1 and everyday of the week
How many times was this guy arrested and set free?
Stop with the ambush.. that was never ambush..
Please explain More?
Exactly. How do you ambush the police when they serve warrants at a random time and place.
How does someone ambush you when you are the one breaking into their house with guns drawn?
@@sandraking9650 The police came prepared for a gunfight and there was a gunfight. That's not an ambush. If the police came for a barking dog complaint and there was a gun fight, THAT would be an ambush.
No knock warrants
Both sides brought guns to a gun fight. One side wasn't counting on that.
They performed like unskilled ROOKIES!
Some of these comments help explSin why this country is in the mess its in.
What mess are you referring to? The great job market or the great stock market or the great real estate market? If that's a "mess" I'll take mess all day everyday. Not to mention citizens are fighting back against the authoritarian government. Making them think twice before violating peoples right. Love it
@@bradsanders407 well bless your heart, I feel sorry for your dog.
@@johnnycole7990Why feel sorry for his dog? It doesn’t appear from his comment that he’s a dog shooting, wife beating cop.
I don't get it? This is a job they chose it wasn't forced upon them and they have to come to reality when there number might just come up. And with all due respect everyone has children from the car washer to the janitor and etc. All have children so I don't understand what does children have to do with anything?
Yes I agree. Every one has kids. Oth side. What about the 17 year old.that was in the home and now traumatized for life. These people know what they get in to with jobs like these. SAD that they did not expect the suspect to actually defend himself. Hopefully this will be a lesson on how to better prepare for traggick accidents . Rest in ✌️ peace 😊
They never mention families or children when 👮🏻 terminate innocents.. its just under investigation
They want public sympathy and votes for more of your tax money.
This was unnecessary. Whoever gave the order and sent the police officers into this situation is to blame for the outcome.
The police never learn, they should arrest anyone in their comfort zone, they should wait for them to go somewhere neutral. These ambushes never end well. It's not the first time it happens.
True, and I think we're apt to see more of these situations in States where Red Flag laws are passed. I don't think most Americans are going to just roll over and allow DC to summarily, with no due process strip them of multiple Rights to include 2A, 4A, 5A. It's sadly, just a matter of time before society begins to really come apart.
Well the last time the pigs tried an ambush of some guy walking his dogs innocent bystanders got shot. I believe it may have been the police shooting Willy Nilly
Learn? They do this to make a public example to others.
@@johndeaux3703citizens❤ these examples
Unfortunately they had tried that already and he led them on a high speed chase, I guess ultimately getting away. But read about the prior attempt earlier in one of the news articles. That must have been why they rolled up heavy in an armored swat vehicle due to the previous arrest attempt…
Holy crap they showed his picture!
Why wouldn't they show the officers picture?
Of the usual suspects? 👮🏻👮🏻👮🏻👮🏻 yup
@@skankhunt3624 you think we're talking about the cop here?
Seriously?
@@blacksmoke3113 who else?
@@Beethechange1 two p e r c e n t of the American population is responsible for more than half of all violent crimes in the country, I'll give you one chance to guess who.
I think I'd rather have the occasional unjustified bad cop event than the daily, DAILY violence one demographic visits on our society. How does a literal 3-4 million people commit as much violent crime as EVERYONE else combined?
Ambush!?! Who was ambushing who?
Black guy was shooter.
racist was commenter
Black democrat
Why this story didn’t go nationwide, doesn’t fit their lame narrative
@@JohnLee-jk5ew It is nation wide.
@@JohnLee-jk5ew It went nationwide, but if you look, they are doing everything possible to not show the shooter as a black male. I had to dig very far to get a photo if this was a white guy his picture would be everywhere.
"Shall not be infringed."
Does not apply in this case
@@user-fp7ds5sy4wHow? Stripping rights away from anyone is an infringement.
Who ambushed who?
Who ambushed WHOM.
They would have killed him but if they got the upper hand on him
The suspect is dead and he asked for it. I have zero sympathy for the suspect
This was all preventable
How?
Love seeing people call out cops and the judicial system for what the whole concept really is. Pay to play baby, maybe stop the no knock warrants and give people their rights back after they’ve done their time.
So what you're saying is a shoot out between the gestapo and a citizen. Under the Constitution, the Second Amendment, there is no classification of a second-class citizen

Why are people defending the criminal is there some other details missing
Perhaps, we have learned in the last 20 yrs that cops never tell the whole story. Just what's convenient, and some people are tired of it. Some people don't care when bad things happen to them anymore cause of it. They assume the cops are lying and honestly rightfully so.
The criminals were the ones in military gear attempting to violate a persons constitutional rights. I seen government thugs trying to take someone's guns. He did what conservatives pretend like they would do in that situation and made them pry it out of his cold dead hands. Am I missing something? And I don't want to hear no "hE was A fELoN". If conservatives have taught me anything, it's that the 2nd says "shall not be infringed upon" not "can be infringed upon depending on if the citizen has committed a crime in the past". Again, am I missing something?
I don’t believe that people are exactly defending the suspect here. It’s the rapid disillusionment with modern law enforcement. We question their motives and they lie to us. We question their actions and they lie to us. We question their integrity and accountability and they say, don’t worry we have this in hand. Yet daily we witness, on video, severe lack of competence, malice in their actions, and repeated lack of accountability. The taxpayer continually eats the bill while officers are given paid time off ending in early retirements, bad cops winning their jobs back through arbitration, or some sweetheart deal where they get disability pay as they quietly slip out the back door. Don’t see it as empathy for the criminal. It’s disgust in a corrupt and increasingly dysfunctional system.
I'm not a police officer but I see all kinds of mistakes that the officers did in apprehending suspect
Yeah the 1st one was not speaking up and not saying "no I'm not going to participate in violating someone's rights".
Keep telling us how to see it while watching something else.
Got blasted 😅
1:32 damn! That’s a white black guy!!!
He might fit in with racist police
I guess somebody finally responded to their constitutional rights being violated the way the founding fathers intended
Absolutely
Yeah those AR's were wicked back in the 1700's.
@@joeshmooo5327
Although they didn't have AR's back then they did have multiple fire muskets which was shown to the founding fathers so they had a really good idea what was coming down the road as firearm innovation Marched forward
@@gregdarmenio6902lol "multiple fire muskets" what does that even mean? It can shoot more than once? Or are you talking about a double barrel? That's not exactly a sign of things to come or some revolutionary technology.
@@bradsanders407 research it you'll find they had multiple fire muskets back then, just research it look it up.
Here I'll give you a start this is one of them.

How is it an ambush if they went to the suspects house?
I dont think your dictionary is working. "Ambush"
That’s so horrible. This should not have happened to these officers. Condolences to loved ones. Prayer for comfort to all.❤
Somehow their plan was flawed.
So sad. For nothing.
Yes. I am sad for nothing. Nothing about this makes me sad.
So sad for the families
Maybe there is an officer that can educate me. Over the years I have seen to many of these situations. The cops are serving whatever and the person in the house opens fire and kills are best of the best? Is there a way to serve remotely? Or some other way?
Yes, they can send him a letter and ask him to come in peacefully to the police department unarmed
Too bad these cops had children. Now they get to grow up without a daddy!
Looks like there are at least four job openings if anybody was needing a job.
A warrant is an amush sooo.
swing and a miss bro🤣🤣😂😂
@@Brabitt05 dare I say no knock. Home run home BOY
Prayers
What did this guy do to be arrested or killed?. I missed it.
The reporter said they leave their kids behind. Does that make these gang members good people?
Which gang the doc gang or the federal marshal gang
Are the Italian mafia gang members good people?
Now it's an ambush?
How is this an ambush? Didnt they ambush him?
Since when is the Department of Correction pulling up on violent offenders. I stand corrected repeat violent offenders.?
More like a reverse ambush. SMH at the worthless reporting.
This title is misleading. Law enforcement lead an ambush? Or law enforcement was a victim of an ambush?
More like the police ambushed someone who had guns to protect himself, 4 against 1. And the underdog had better vantage point, powerful rifle, better aim and probably armor piercing rounds as well. Dang shame this had to happen. Couldn't they have picked a better time and place to apprehend?
I cry
So. Shall not be infringed was not upheld and government agents lost their lives trying to infringe on the right of the people. Got it
Bingo.
RIP 🙏
This comment section just confirms the moral degradation of our society. May God comfort the families of the four fallen officers.
God. Where does it all end?
They took a job. It went bad for them. Thats what the job entails. Not heroes. Just guys who took a risky job. The risk won.
Bingo. Heroes don’t collect paychecks.
God be with these poor people 🙏❤
wouldn’t it had been safer for all involved to pull him over on the way to the store instead of serving a no knock warrant? i mean you get your door kicked in what is gonna be your first reaction?
They already tried pulling him over to serve the warrant, he led them on a high speed chase ultimately getting away. Which is likely why they approached this the way they did, getting SWAT and the task force involved.
Aww poor officers
How did this felon get more weapons? Considering his charges some one needs to go to prison for selling him the weapons! Anyone who contributed to the death of these officers should be charged as co-conspirators!
What do you mean how did he get more weapons?! It’s not like he walked up to a store and bought them…people can and will find a way to access a gun whether they are a felon or not, a felon will go buy off the street same as a non-felon will go buy one in the store. Honestly doesn’t matter whether it’s illegal or legal, people always find a way to access something they really want. Drugs are illegal, but still easily accessible. Unfortunately the way the world works..
@@likeabosstian3883 Then we should stop private sales. Flea Markets and gun shows! I also believe some shops in the area don't care to follow the Law!
Sad for all involved but law isn’t about justice anymore the moment it became money hungry.
Police emptied trash off the streets
So did he👴🏿 those bullies will never bother anyone again.. YOU are safer.. Tell me.. who is the bigger threat to your family? That 👴🏿 guy? Or 👮🏻 ?
This is exactly what happens when you allow citizens to have better firepower than law enforcement
What? What citizens have better firepower than law enFORCEment? Cops have all kinds of military gear. Also, no one ALLOWS any American to have arms.
Black Crime is one of the biggest problems in the country, yet we are completely unable to talk about it
Ahhhh be quiet! If he was white would you be writing that! I think not!
What the hell is black crime?
I’m surprised u toob didn’t censor your comment. I can’t say the word blk without being hit for hate speech.
racists are a bigger problem
@@sniper-zc9hvdo you really need an answer to that ignorant question?
Stop the spin.
In the old days, when the police had a suspect who refused to surrender, they'd just burn him out, he either came out... Or stayed in.
Maybe they needed more guns?
Who advocated for this deadly ambush by US MARSHALLS and why did they want to confiscate suspects weapons and deprive him of his liberty??
He was a felon you know a person who should not have a gun in the first place.
@@davidnealy6459Where does it say that in the second amendment or anywhere else in the Constitution?
@@richwightman3044 Read the claim again I stated a case by the SCOTUS and said it deals with article 2 powers.
"The majority ruling in the 1988 Supreme Court case Department of Navy vs. Egan -- which addressed the legal recourse of a Navy employee who had been denied a security clearance -- addresses this line of authority.
"The President, after all, is the 'Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States'" according to Article II of the Constitution, the court's majority wrote. "His authority to classify and control access to information bearing on national security ... flows primarily from this constitutional investment of power in the President, and exists quite apart from any explicit congressional grant."
"Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword"
A whole squadron of armed men in military gear preparing to attack your domicile; looks like self defense to me...and about as far from an "ambush" as definitions allow.
"Self defense" from a felon with a gun boy you are extra special.
Why defend a criminal
@@myst8217 EVERY human being has a right to defend themselves, regardless of anything. Are you implying that those armed-to-the-teeth cops were NOT a deadly threat to him and that he didn't have the right to attempt to preserve his life?

They signed up for the job. And THEY were doing the ambush. Zero sympathy.
It’s tough for the people eyer did dirty as well
What
Not really trying to take either side but why did they really want to mess with this guy? He had a felony from speeding, really? So why after he did his time in prison do you go and mess with this guy again? Sounds to me like there's more to this story than meets the eyes. He wasn't a violent felon he just got caught speeding. Doesn't make any kind of sense to me. Or am i the only one asking these questions? If anyone else knows anything more than what I've heard then feel me in cause I'm lost right now.
Very few people ask the right questions. Most of the sheep just assume and kiss the blue line boots.
