- The Polk County Sheriff's Office is mourning the loss of 21-year-old Deputy Blane Lane, who was shot and killed in the line of duty early Tuesday morning when he and fellow deputies attempted to serve a felony warrant. Sheriff Grady Judd said when the suspect pointed a gun at the deputies, two of them opened fire. Several of their bullets hit the suspect, but one went through the wall of the trailer and accidentally hit Lane, who was in a concealed tactical position outside.

21 is far to young….RIP young man and thank you for your service!
So are all the people they shot
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 right!!
You can tell he was trying his hardest to hold his emotions in . He almost lost it a few times. He's really outstanding for maintaining his composer this is why he's in the position he is in
Wait; don’t they say that “you are responsible for your bullets “ that’s actually a thing.
Ofc their not going to take responsibility .. This is what they do & will continue doing so long as the law is in their favor. This was clearly an accident but accountability needs to be held and punishment needs to be handed out nonetheless. Trust that these officers would much rather make this Crystal Meth Walmart tweeker or “cranker” (as this meat head sheriff so eloquently stated) the scapegoat.
@@godflowtv8526 because it's her fault.
@@jlorde8838 you sound like u’re either a cop or pro law enforcement… Save your blind rhetoric
It only applies when they want it to.
not to mention someone fired more that two shots at a target less than 7 feet away and missed. two shots, bang bang, and reevaluate the situation. if you pull the trigger more than two times then you're just trigger happy. and the dead cop obviously did not take tactically sound position. Mobile homes are not mazes, they have very simple floorplans. he put himself downrange and caught a bullet from another cop who can't hit what he aims at.
I am 66 years old and through my eyes, this young deputy is just a baby. People my age should be protecting young lives such as this even though he wore the uniform. It's not fair. This young deputy was someone's son and my heart aches for them.
immense training.....less than 6 months in academy lol.
No harm no foul. Qualified immunity should work nicely.
Pos racisy
Law enforcement is #22 on the dangerous job list. Lumberjack/logger is #1 followed by construction. No attention is paid to those who have lost their lives just being regular hard working person.
Hold up, you telling me i have the most dangerous job? Lmao i though the most dangerous job was trash collector 🤔
I'm a structural ironworker which is top 3 amongst the most dangerous professions I went through a 4 year apprenticeship because when your not properly trained or hold yourself to the highest standard you can be killed in the line of duty and possibly hurt others so it boggles my mind when Leo's don't hold themselves to the same standards
Words cannot express or compensate for the loss of the family. There are countless full grown adults in their 60s and 50s who are determined to live trashbag lives, corrupt society and the youth, lazy, purposeless lives. Thank you to all of the upright and courageous men and women who risk their lives for righteousness and Justice.
I've never heard it express more succinctly.
Nobody cares. He shouldn't have become a cop AND his own partner shot him.
Imposing a property tax on a free ppl to pay your salary is not “upright”. It is unrighteous.
Also ppl are free to live as “trash bags” as you say. What business is it yours?
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 you sound like she's your type of people. And it's everyone's business when trashbag people are selling drugs and living off people who WORK REAL JOBS!! Those people steal and lie ,rob and kill!! Sounds like NO good people!!! Sounds like your sticking up for the criminals!!!
I highly doubt that she pointed the bb gun at the leo sounds like a coverup to me since Leo's hate accountability she's going to be the scapegoat
What about Daniel Shaver and Andrew Finch?
That's the easiest way to clear the deputies. Wait till she recovers enough to tell her story, and then we'll see what happened. If they even let her tell her story.
Wrong
@@JeremiahLOsborne Troll
@@jonthinks6238 just what I thought. You were incapable of anything more than putting three words together.
It's crazy that the witness knew she took a gun / BB gun into this gaming room but didn't tell that information to the deputies when they arrived
The whole thing could have played out a lot differently if they were privy to that information
The police did not ask
Crazy it was 3 am
So who will be charged with murder?
@@larenzahayward125 they all should be in my opinion they knew what she planned and still allowed deputies to walk into an ambush attempt
Condolences truly. One of the best sheriffs around and I appreciate you recognizing this fine young man.
I agree, he seems to be a great man and boss.
@@evaneason6906 surem, he backs the Blue Line thugs who shot one of their own. Just a pig, nothing else.
-beware when people speak well of you, for their fathers did the same for the false prophets.
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 Get a job.
It's possible that he has a part in the death of this rookie.
Shame the young deputy lost his life. Sorry for the loss for his family, the Sheriff's office and the community.
Shame he was a boot for the state and died doing that while arresting people he had no business with while trying to cash in on a state retirement when he was done.
Well so much for highly trained cops. Bunch of clowns
Poor kid. My heart goes out to his family.
"poor kid" lol was probly going to testify against another officer
2kings deals w undesirable ppl offending God, and being driven out.
Who " DREAMS" (?) YO BE POLICE? A THANKLESS CORRUPT JOB 4 WANNA BE GANG MEMBERS! ILLEGALLY STRETCHING AND SEIZING MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC! ON TOP OF THAT JUST BEING GENERAL NUISANCES! SO I HAVE TO APPLAUD EVERY TIME THERE IS 1 LESS RAT FINK.. I COPS ARE ANY GOOD, BECAUSE THEY PROTECT THE BAD ONES. BACK THEM UP. LIE FOR THEM. LIE UNDER OATH. ETC.
@@bad71hd yr either a doctor or a phd not both
It's at times like these that I'm left searching for words of comfort and wisdom. It is also at times like this that one realizes that words are not going to cut it. In light of that, I still want to drop a note to tell this devastated family that I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. Not only did the Sheriff's office lose a wonderful deputy, but a wife lost her husband, a child lost his daddy, but his parents who like his wife is no doubt, so proud, have now lost their son.
I've said it before and will say it again, what people are willing to do for drugs will never cease to amaze me. Amaze meaning: disgust, appalling, horrific, loathsome.
Very well stated.
@heather you sound like you copied that out of a book somewhere. Do you even think? Your text reads so insincere.
@@benedictcumberbatch4275 Says the man named Benedict Cumberbatch?!
It's sad to me that when someone writes something heartfelt, and can do so with some degree of intelligence, that one assumes it's copied from a book. Some folks are simply capable of saying what they think/feel in a way that doesn't include typos and grammar mistakes. Sorry you cannot understand how that's possible.
To meet you at your level, here's my reply to your comment: "kick rocks".
@heather how do you know it’s not me?
19, Can be a Deputy, Killed in the Military 🪖, Sent to war, but can't even legally have a freaking Beer.
Wow, wayyyyy took young. Like 6 months of training , given a gun and badge, and gooo get em Kiddo. No life experience yet, problem-solving in real life situations, Empathy, Anger, the full spectrum of Emotions in Life and Death situations. Split second life altering , permanent decisions, that can't be taken back. No Mulligans, no Do Overs, no Play this level again.
In perspective, it took me 5 years to become qualified in my trade, that doesn't include kill or be killed. We Construction workers have a higher Injury/Death rate than Cops, Firemen, etc,
Most of our training is Safety Safety Safety. There is Death awaiting us around every corner. It is pounded into our Brains, to be aware of everything at all times.
There's gotta be a better way , longer, more in depth "apprenticeship " training, and time on your tools. It's impossible to get things right, in 6 freaking months. Most cops don't even know the Laws, that they are enforcing, the Constitution they have sworn to uphold, and to be quite honest ESCALATE bad situations, then use Qualifued Immunity to avoid being held accountable for Huge, life changing mistakes.
We The People have lost our trust, in the Powers that be. We see it every single day. Quota hiring, giving a gun and badge to anyone with Purple hair, and a Bad Attitude.
There's gotta be a better way!!
This Sherif is an outstanding human being. More like him would solve these issues quick. He doesn't care, Friend or Foe, if you break the Law, you pay the Price.
RIP YOUNG MAN
God Bless you Grady Judd
What a good man.
So the deputy shot the other deputy. Sounds like a training issue.
Exactly/FACTS
You do not get trained to see through walls…
@@mysecondchanceateverything3760 you aren’t trained to blindly shoot through walls either
Which de-funding will never provide.
@@pickititllneverheal9016 I’m not for defunding the police. I’m for reform and proper deescalation training.
What a tragedy. May light eternal shine upon the young deputy.
Please keep an eye on those deputies. This is a very heavy guilty to live with.
No
Keep an eye on their aim at the range too
Thats awful. So sorry to hear of such a horrible accident. Bless his family and may he rest in piece.
My sincere condolences to his family. God be with them all at this difficult time.
My insincere condolences
Damn, RIP sir. Sincerest condolences to his family. Thank you for your service.
🙏🙏🙏 prayers to the 👪 family !!! There are not words thank you for your service young man so proud of your values and service so sorry for the price you have paid God has you know RIP
That deputy with a smile like that touches the world !
These LEO will not take responsibility for anything, she never fired a shot and they wanna charge her with his death….
Wrong she's the causation of the shooting.
she may not have pulled the trigger but her actions caused the deputy to react in self defense and unfortunately a deputy has died.
Well I guess doing a search point in the middle of the night is always a great idea. They could have easily surrounded the home and waited till morning. Could have used their megaphone and had her come out since her bb gun isn't going to hurt them from a distance. They also could have done nothing since the Supreme Court has ruled that they have no duty to protect, But the easiest thing for them to do is know your back stop Is firearm safety 101
Wow, a 3 year old child now without a father. What a tragedy. RIP Deputy Blane Lane, Prayers and condolences to his family, friends and coworker.
too young to be having kids
@@DeadPiixxel just stop
@@DeadPiixxel obviously not! Seems he was doing very well for himself and his family!! This young man is a Hero!
@@mysecondchanceateverything3760uh I don't think just because you have a job that means you should have kids. Probably why we ended up with most the criminals we have
RIP, Deputy.
She's not responsible for his death! Charge her for their mistake is ridiculous!
Wrong
@@jonthinks6238hopefully Jon has had a good THINK since his million ridiculous comments on this video 🤣
This is terrific, he was so young, RIP 🙏
Prayers for the family
So sorry to hear this. This actually brought tears to my eyes to think someone young enough to be my grandson is now dead. Praying for God’s mercy, grace and peace be with the family during this horrible time. Absolutely heartbreaking. I pray they are successful in getting her in jail for life. Especially knowing he had a 3 year old baby himself! God bless and protect the men and women who stand in the gap for us all.
The most dangerous person a cop faces is a person who doesn't want to go back to jail.
No, it is a person who has lost the will to live and has nothing to lose.
@@P25AES as a former law enforcement officer I will assure you its the guy with a ton of will and desire not to go back. They'll kill anyone to stop from going back. Felony warrant detail is not for just anyone.
Apparently, it's another cop.
@@JeremiahLOsborne that's not even close to being funny. This idiot individual is to blame. She just couldn't deal with her reality. Addiction can do that to a person. Friendly-Fire is a consequence of the job.
Damn that is crazy really sad 😢 rest in peace brave hero. You Steve us proud I’m sure God needed you up there even more. I love you brother sleep well, you will receive your new body one day.
My condolences. My heart goes out to you and everyone else involved. Praying.
This guy has a really difficult job. Deep respect.
My greatest sympathies to the other deputies on the scene. They are the ones who have to live with this for the rest of their days. It's bad enough to loose a fellow officer when shot by a bad guy, but this reality is so much worse. They need as much care and support that everyone can give them so that they do not suffer from this or succumb to horrible grief in the coming days, weeks, and years. This event does not need to result in further tragedy.
Just lost my mom praying for your family
How is she being charged for felony murder if the cop shot the other cop? It should be 3rd degree murder by the cop. Shes no saint, in fact she should get all the charges that they can lay in her, but being charged because of the cops negligent discharge of a firearm corrupt
They brutally murder innocent kids, the 14 yo kid that an officer slammed and busted his skull, at a school for nothing, yeah. Great training.
This is why you train. This was a failure of the department he worked for.
This is the very reason why career criminals like this should not be on the damned streets. How many times does someone need to be locked up before the court system realizes that they're never going to stop committing crimes and throw away the key. This woman was sentenced to if i remember correctly 11 years but had only served 9 and was out. WHY the hell was she out? If you sentence someone to 11 years they should be in there for 11 years. This getting out of jail for good behavior for a career criminal is a joke when the only time they seem to be able to behave is when they're locked up. People like her do not belong out in society with law abiding citizens. Law enforcement does their job and catches them and then these weak woke courts and the whole criminal system fails to do their jobs and keep them where they belong. Now look at the result. A young officer with a family that will never come home. One of the officers inside the home will never get over the fact that he shot and killed his fellow officer when they do ballistics and determine which officer's gun fired the round. His life is ruined too. And the parents and friends of this young officer who lost a loved one. All because the criminal justice system in this country is broken and doesn't keep these career criminals behind bars where they belong. How many more innocent lives will it take for our lawmakers to wake up and fix this? When will the stupidity of criminals having more rights than law abiding citizens stop? Our officers around the county have to deal with this kind of trash on a day to day basis so next time you see an officer shake his hand and thank him for putting his or her life on the line for us all instead of treating them like they're the enemy. They're human beings with families just like us that run towards danger instead of away. They deserve our thanks and our respect because they've earned it.
So so so sad and thank you for your service
You can see how this breaks Sheriff Grady Judd’s heart. RIP to young deputy Blane Lane. 😢Rest in peace.
Yes 😞
Cop got killed by his own colleagues. Bootlickers still appreciate the reckless handling of their service weapons.
Handsome kid. God, I couldn't imagine being the officer that shot him...
I'm sorry for your loss with a fellow officer
Prayers for this young man and his family 🙏
no
@@DeadPiixxel Troll
If law enforcement wasn't so trigger happy to shoot someone maybe this young man might be live today. Law enforcement is very good at deflecting blame to someone else when they make mistakes.I person that has a BB gun is good enough for them and they think it's all their fault. Actually, the law enforcement officer that pulled the trigger is the one who is responsible for the death. The officer didn't just go out simply go out to serve a warrant, they went out to with gun drawn ready for a gun fight. The family should sue the sheriff's department for incompetency and the harm they did.
I don't think they will be able to secure a conviction for 2nd degree murder.
Your right they won’t…even if those charges carry to trial they won’t get a conviction considering that the officer who fired the shot was shooting through a wall blindly and the officer who was hit wasn’t wearing a vest on a no knock raid. No judge or jury with a functioning brain is going to accept that it is a reasonable assertion that pointing a BB gun at police would result in the officers shooting each other rather than you….and they obviously knew where she was and that she was actively pointing a weapon at them considering that’s what they said caused them to start shooting in the first place.
"immense training" is considered less than 6 months
🙏 for the young officer's family, friends and colleagues..
Thank you for your service
RIP
He was a kid, 22 yrs old is literally a child. Heart breaking situation. How can his mom stand it, how, how??
May the Deputy rest in peace and prayers to his family
Heartbreaking. Peace to the family
This young man barely got to start his life . He was going to be a good officer I can't imagine how his fellow officers feel this is just so tragic. A good person dies and and another garbage human gets to live and drain our resources. Because of what she did we lost someone who was just doing good. He was a good man
If this warrant were for a serious crime involving others, rape, murder...etc., it would be a little easier to swallow. A young man losing his life over someone possessing some dope a while back doesn't make sense. The murder charge won't stick either. She may be a low life but isn't in charge of the deputies' situational awareness. An absolute terrible waste of a young life for zero gain.
Wrong
@@jonthinks6238 Maybe. But it would be hard to sway me on this one.
You didn't teach and coach good enough, Grady. I hope you didn't teach them to do that!
What a heartbreaking thing. So sorry and my condolences to his personal family and the police family. I pray for your comfort the department and family. You have held your composure so well I heart your heart for good and evil and your pain needs to be addressed please talk to a therapist your health mentality is important to all the citizens yourself and family. I watch your accounts and admire your input keep up the good work
RIP Young Man 💜💜
RIP brother
Sheriff Grady is the busiest sheriff in the US. God bless this man. Sympathies for Deputy Lane's family.
Sheriff Judd is one of the very best there is in my eyes and sheriff if you read these by any chance I want you to know that I feel you conducted this press conference in a respectable manner that you can be proud of and that this poor officers family can find solace in no matter the situation that causes the loss of life especially when it’s one of our police officers it’s a terrible terrible situation but I feel that you’ve expressed gratitude and grief and those things are important and you’ve done a fantastic job here sir I thought you can be proud of your ability to educate us the public on this tragedy thank you sir keep doing what you’re doing I do not live in your state but I certainly respect and that what you do there in Florida and wish we had more like you sir your dedication work ethic and focus is incredible your consistent in your actions and I truly believe in my heart that being consistent especially when you have a position such as sheriff it is paramount that people know what to expect with you and get exactly what they expect and I respect you as much as I could for the way you operate sir thank you thank you thank you officers that are out there please learn from this man we can all do better if we do like he does
Cops shouldn’t even be. They impose a property tax on a free ppl to pay their salaries.
Periods? Punctuation? Come on >
What a handsome young man. 🥲🙏
He was killed by reckless shooting.
A woman failed to show up for a court hearing and arrest warrant was issued.
Sheriff's office received anonymous call that the woman was in Polk city. Four deputies came at 3 am to arrest the woman at home. When they entered the house she pointed a pellet gun at them. Deputies started recklessly shooting. Two rounds hit the woman and one round hit a deputy standing outside the house. The deputy died.
Police went there for blood and thats what they got 😂
Wrong
@@jonthinks6238 think harder jon
"friendly fire" sounds like a phrase made up by someone on drugs.
terribly sorry for your loss of a real american hero both to the Lane family and Polk County Sheriff's Dept.
I am so sorry for Lane and his family and all of you!!❤😢❤🙏🙏
Those witnesses #1 and #2 should be charged too. They did not tell the deputies about the gun! praying for the families!
Nahhh
Freedom of speech. They don't have to say anything they don't want to say.
Those cops chose to put themselves in that situation. Next thing, you're going to blame Superman because he wasn't there to rescue them.
This just goes to show how irresponsible American cops are when it comes to firing their guns.
Thank for the ads shown during the viewing of this video.
I feel bad for the young officer. I hope the police learn from this horrible incident.
RIP... This was literally "Final Destination" level circumstances...
I'm sorry for this tragic loss, and for this man's family. What happend never should've.....The sherrifs speech was very flawed...how can someone have "11 felonies for previous misdemeanors??? Then to the question that the sherriff was asked about how much meth makes a felony? He responded that "all meth pocession is a felony"??? If it was meth wouldn't be such an issue.
why is the right audio out in every vid
Well that's another one that won't be infringing on anyone's rights ever again.
This is insane. Your deputy gets killed by his own kind and you’re blaming it on a methhead for not cooperating? Absolutely sick. Why don’t you train your deputies to not kill their own on accident rather than trying to deflect the situation onto a drug addict.
Sad when a hero loses his or her life to protect us, that you to our military, and law enforcement officers. God Bless them all.
"Very dangerous job" lol. It's not even close to the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the US.
I love how this Sherriff doesn't suffer fools. Being asked, why does a warrant have to be served at that hour, isn't that unsafe? That foolish question needs no explanation as to how asinine it is.
That idiot witness number two just needed to mention that Cheryl had a BB gun and this could’ve all went another way 😢
Very Sad 😞 R.I.P.
Thank you for your service!!!
So sad.
DO YOU GUYS THINK SHE'LL GET LIFE OR DO YOU THINK THE CHARGES WONT GET HER LIFE. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YA'ALL THINK.
She won’t get Life. She will be charged with: Attempted Murder, Endangering a child. Child Abandonment. And some kind of Negligence. What this child suffered!!
Praise God for her strong lungs!
Wished that I could see her future ❤️🤗🤗🤗
Thanks to the lady who found her….that lady is a real mom. She heard a cry of distress whether it was a little kitten or an actual baby she responded to that distress to see what was wrong. That is a beautiful woman God bless her for finding this baby and giving her a chance at life! Bless her Lord, strengthen her and provide for her father God and keep them both safe in Jesus name I pray amen 🙏 ❤️🕊
I pray for the young man’s family, and the deputies that were there with him. They must feel horrible, even though it isn’t their fault. As a side, ballistics can get weird when a bullets strikes someone after going through a wall. Even if it is as thin as a mobile home wall, the trajectory, and spin of a bullet can alter, and so do the ballistics. The bullet likely ricocheted off of his shoulder blade down into his chest cavity. It’s a tragedy that shouldn’t have ever happened, and I commend those on the force for sacrificing their health, mental and physical, for the good of the community.
When you do not have clear sight on target and just start shooting through walls indiscriminately…..it’s 100% the shooters fault where those rounds went.
This is just too much to process.
Cops can be extremely dangerous, sometimes even to each other (very grim). Audience wishes his survivors all the best. Cheers!
Police negligence caused this man’s death, not the “suspect”.
Basic gun safety.
Know your target and what is beyond.
It’s a known fact that trailer house walls don’t stop bullets.
It doesn’t matter if she had a machine gun, or a tampon, the police are responsible for killing their fellow officer, not her.
He should have been posted in a strategic position out of the line of fire, or listened to where they told him to be.
(Or did they set up the department snitch? 🤷♂️)
R.I.P. Deputy Lane 💔 And prayers to this department, especially the officers involved. Also, this criminal is completely responsible for this death. She’s the one who caused the officers to fire. She should get the max possible.
This breaks my heart, 21 years old.
Did he say they keep the evil ppl away from the good, maybe he don't realize it but not all cops are sane and stable good ppl😒
No not all cops are sane starting with the belief that homosexuality is not felonious sexually deviant predatory behavior.
Sounds almost like a set up...a person calling and sending officers to a "quiet and remote" area after a criminal who doesn't want to cooperate. Not only for the cops, but someone going after her, too?
They had no business serving a warrant at 3am in the 1st place…now look at the result. Smh 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Correct, so many other options, their gung-ho style raid at 3 am got one of their own killed. Nab her when she left the house.
@@wayneamerican1708 A plan like that would take this thing called, "Intelligence", which may be lacking in this case.
Enjoy your day, Friend. I hope that it's a great one.
@@wayneamerican1708 lmao a arrest warrant issued isn't a raid.
Wrong time is irrelevant learn the statistics.
@@jlorde8838 it's not, but 3 am with guns drawn, multiple cops, basically a raid.
well it seemed his partners should get more target practice. cause they sucks
He died making 32k a year......
Nah this one killed me lmaoooo
Jerk
Wrong serving his county, vote to pay them more.
Soo sad…. This sheriff rocks.
First mistake is banging on someones door Serving a warrant at 315am? Second mistake, Over missing a court appearance because of a simple petty drug charge, which is something minute
Pick your battles wisely, which the Pigs did not do here. Was it really worth the rookie Pigs death? All I have to say is that's one less Tyrant Pig on the streets banging on someone's door in the middle of the night over something so petty. On top of that, his own fellow Pig shot him, that's just crazy. All over a petty missing a court date warrant.
Bullets will fly through a mobile home like a garden shed! This poor young man was in the wrong place, so sad, RIP.
How hell the one cop 👮♀️ shoot the other cop 👮♀️
That’s crazy
#1) the officer wasn’t wearing a vest on a 3am no knock warrant #2) the officer that shot him was outside the house trying to shoot at the suspect through walls and couldn’t see where he was shooting. #3) bad tactical training and last but not least #4) this department doesn’t hold officers accountable for firing blind….even now they are shifting 100% of the blame on to the woman with a BB gun that they were shooting at which means that the likelihood of this happening again is almost guaranteed. It’ll just be the suspects fault again and the dept itself won’t learn a damn thing from this tragedy about shooting where you can’t see.
Wow becoming a cop at 21 years old just shows you he was dedicated to be one his entire life
or that he lacked the devotion to his country to enlist, and wasn't qualified for any other job, and they had paid training.
❤️Sheriff Judd...keeps my faith in the police and how they all should be.
Peace and Love from 🇨🇦❤️
