I live here in Polk County and Grady don’t play. I love that he is serious about his job and doesn’t care who you are when breaking the law! No nonsense Sheriff!
No one knew what this kid was going to do ... beleive me, if they knew they would of stopped him before he even shot his grandma... but no one knew except for that girl he was talking to online and she didn't say anything cause she thought he wasn't going to do it ....... so yeah very different scenarios.
PSA- You don’t get hounded/interrogated by journalists when you tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth! Thank you for setting the example for all!
Exactly when you are clear and concise with order of events and you are honest with them especially with the part you played then it alleviates distrust.
"He came out with his long gun, rifle in hand, and we shot him.... A LOT!!" That statement should resonate really loud to criminals in his county. I like this Sheriff.
Ah the difference a screwed up mass shooting makes. Instead of “he had mental health problems the cops should have tased him or tried to de-escalate”, now it’s “great job for rushing in & shooting him “a lot””. (Which I do agree with them doing).
Wow, so this person was in the mobile home reloading when they arrived, so they took a tactical position as he came back out.. pretty easy to take that person out.. nothing like what took place in Texas.. smfh
I love that he’s making sure we knew that he and his team responded immediately to an active shooter instead of standing around and waiting for 75 minutes before they helped anyone!!!
He is a True Leader. Something we rarely see on the News in America today! Oh it happens all around this Great Nation, but the News refuses to report on it...
did you know sandy hook just opened up days before that happened and they the gov paid everyones houses off with a two mile radius on christmas day 2009 and give houses to alot of actors that day
@@RICDirector When you have threatened to shoot people and have shot at people THERE IS NO de escalating. You come out with a gun and you’re going to get shot. Facts don’t care about your feelings
This Sheriff knows how to lead. You will never hear him say that the reason they didn't engage a shooter was that they would get shot. Even if someone is drunk, if he has been shooting already and reloaded to shoot First Responders and his wife, then you need to listen to them and act accordingly.
Who doesn't love Sherrif Grady? We need a lot more of him all over this country. "He came outside with his gun...and we shot him... a lot..." Best line spoken ever.
We took out a “McNut”. The Uvalde incident is a complete opposite. These officers went straight for the kill. Good job. No donut breaks. No handholding. No one’s feelings getting offended.
The sad part is, my sincere belief is if the 19 officers sitting in the Uvalde school hallway with their thumbs up their a$$es had been told there were two police captains (instead of teachers) and 19 police officers (instead of 19 4th graders)in that room they would have taken action within minutes of arrival. Anyone doubt that statement? Instead, they froze, allowing more shots and more deaths and completely missing that medical "Golden Hour" to treat the wounded. Instead, those injured teachers and kids were left abandoned to bleed to death and take their last breaths while those who swore to serve and protect them, waited. And waited. Then finally, after an hour of doing nothing, those 19 police officers made their only good move of the day; they took the ultimate walk of shame to get the he11 out of the way to allow the courageous Border Patrol agents to do what they could not. Yes, these Florida officers deserve praise for their action against one who threatened to kill their fellow officers. Sad that they seem to exhibit more bravery when their own gang members' lives are on the line.
Sheriff Judd is amazing! Have you seen the press conferences he does where he names and shames child s*xu*l abusers and people who looks at pics of that stuff? He includes big 8x10 color glossy photographs of the offenders and makes sure to spell their name several times for the reporters. Thos man is not in the sh*t business. He doesn't have any to give, and he damned sure doesn't take any!
Really ?? Ask him to release the bodycam footage of this or any other deputy involved shooting. Oh, that's right, it doesn't exist, because he flatly refuses to put bodycams on his deputies. Stating that it's to "protect the citizens privacy". He gets to tell whatever story he wants, and there's nothing in existence to show what actually happened.
@@vonadams4968 Don’t commit crimes and you won’t get shot by police. Fairly straightforward. Probably saved a lot of money not using body cams too. More money for ammo.
@@vonadams4968 I don't really have a hard time believing this story. But I don't like a department that won't use body cams. That's absolutely so they can get away with anything and not have the footage to dispute their narrative. It should be federally mandated for all cops to have body cams. Cops don't care about the public's privacy. They constantly invade the privacy of citizens and harass them without due cause. The lack of body cams is to make sure no officer is ever held accountable for their misdeeds. It's as simple as that. But that doesn't make this story false. This sheriff should just be honest and upfront about why he won't use body cams. He should say that his officers don't need anybody second guessing their actions. They make the calls and that's the end of it. It's dishonesty on his part to say it has anything to do with privacy. When footage is released, private info is always redacted and edited out. Dishonesty and policing go hand in hand. It's a dishonorable profession from the get go. I've had the most innocent family members be harassed for absolutely no reason by cops. These family members don't drink or use any drugs and were doing nothing wrong. Yet cops still go out of their way to harass and intimidate these individuals. Cops are just thugs all around.
I respectfully disagree. The reason is he has said a lot of condemning statements before people had their day in court. Unfortunately we have gotten away from innocent until PROVEN guilty. There are a lot of people convicted in the news before they had a fair shot to clear their name. I'm sure he is a good guy but he also has sworn to uphold the entire constitution not just the parts he likes.
TRUE! And he also isn't hesitant to say what he doesn't know instead of making stuff up to look important. There is NOTHING wrong with saying what you don't know, what is still being reviewed, and details that are not yet clear. For sure all answers do not have to be told in just hours after an event like this.
@@GiGiLuvsKatz well trained? Really.. so they arrived with the shooter reloading inside, took up tactical postions to hide while all aiming at the front door and a he walks out, they unload on him.. any cops would have done that in this situation.. they are not necessarily well trained, just fortunate about the timing of their arrival.. smfh
We need more sheriff like sheriff Judd. Wrong is wrong and right is right. There’s no in between with this gentleman. He’s precise knowledgeable & honest.
@@Criam It was proven in a Florida court room that elections are legally rigged, no vote counting necessary. They literally have FBI-assassins who operate all over the country to protect the rigging.
You must not have seen him before. He likes to see himself on television and he likes to hear himself talk way too much. He's basically Flordia's Joe Arpaio.
I recommend going back and watching some of the press conferences he’s held on arrest. If you like someone who doesn’t BS and spin..he knows how to do this verbally well, no BS. He lets his community know wny he locks people up, and holds back zero. This is an advocate for true crime victims.
@@jeanettesmith765 I just don't want to think about what will happen when he doese. I'm sorry. I have never been to Florida but I love this Sheriff. He's the best. I love what he does and what he stands for. He is covered in the armor of God. He doesn't hold that back at work. I hope for him he has a long life. And that when he retires the people of Polk County will always remember to show him respect and gratitude. He is a rare and special man. God bless you all in Florida.
Sheriff Grady Judd: You had one job. You and your well trained, well equipped deputies exceeded all expectations here. You successfully protected innocent civilians and ended a threat without hesitation. Let this be an example for others intent on causing harm. Let this be an example for others wearing a badge. Well done! God bless these righteous men and women who know what it means to PROTECT AND SERVE!!
Ummm…crime in his county is highest in the state. The just arrested three of his LEOs for selling drugs out of their patrol car. There is widespread controversy over why Judd won’t use body cams. Don’t be so simple and easily influenced. You’re just a fanboi over this guy…like children are for Mr Beast.
Sheriff Grady Judd's directive to his deputies must be something like this: Protect the innocent and save lives, Stop the bad guy/girl decisively, protect yourself and your partners, grieve for the victims, be safe and make it home.
Yes. You summed it up. Sheriff Judd is MY Sheriff. Heres an example to how he handled an “attempted” riot during the summer of unrest 2 summers ago. He and the Lakeland Police Department were present during an incredibly peaceful march downtown. Both uniformed and plain clothes Deputies on site . They kept an eye on the cars coming downtown with out of state plates. They were the infiltrators. The moment the first thug jumped on a car and began bashing the windshield from the roof of the occupied car the Deputies “handled it immediately”. They took him down and off to jail he went. The others managed to break 2-3 storefront windows… but as soon as they saw he wasn’t playin’ - off they went. THAT was the extent of our “riots” in our town. THAT was Sheriff Judd. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
@@lizzieb6311 I wish our law enforcement officers were as vocal as he is. Though we are pretty safe in this little city of ours. During the riots the entire downtown area filled with citizens carrying long guns and whatnot to protect businesses. We live near the West coast and were worried about antifa thugs rolling into town. There were protests but needless to say very little damage was done. Just some graffiti if I remember correctly.
@@TheOriginalHuck Thank God you live in a town with like minded neighbors. Sadly, it’s necessary to take action if we don’t have a Grady Judd, as I do. Stick together with your neighbors. It’s truly frightening how these Antifa thugs seem to have more rights than you or I. That’s the beauty of living where you can carry…it makes these lawless Cretins less likely to attack those who they KNOW can shoot back… they are lawless cowards who zero in on the no-gun-zones and those towns with “Leaders” who are more interested in the rights of the Criminals than the Citizens they are Elected to protect. Stay safe and continue to band together.
Personally I feel like in this county (I pray it never happens) but if 1 person or even a group of people try an hold down a school here with evil intent. Not only would the police be there but also at least 100 parents armed with shotguns going to get their babies home to safety.... I know I am if it's my babies school.... with plenty of backup including some local PD... They are babies. There's no negotiating Save the children.
This is who we needed making judgement calls in Uvalde. Respect to the officers and deputies who actually put their lives on the line to protect us instead of cowering and letting evil reign.
He played a key role in the legislation for school safety in Florida. If his guidelines had been in place and followed in Texas, that shooting more than likely wouldn't have happened.
@@sunbear76re Maybe Texans will FINALLY rid themselves of craven, incompetent and wholly Trump-owned politicians like Gov. Yabbot and Teddy Cruz, and then find their gonads and get rid of that equally cowardly police "incident commander" ( instead of giving him a promotion to Council Member, because FUup, MUVup is common in Texas) who didn't have enough actual competence to command a butt wiping, let alone handle a hostage situation wherein the gunman is still actually killing people a few feet away. Was the Commander all scairt because he could hear people being shot?
@@inspector7138 If his guidelines are followed…nobody would wear body cams. You gotta be up to something pretty nefarious to NOT want transparency. What is Judd hiding?
I feel badly for the regular peon officers who were obeying authority. If they had rushed in against orders, children would have still been shot, but it all would have been blamed on that officer. He would have been thrown under that particular bus.
My daughter was in the military and she was told that she may have to sacrifice her life to fulfill her duties which she said really made the reality of the position of being a defender of our country sink in. Police have the same duty. Bravery and sacrifice are brought about by the fact that you know when your time is up in this realm your time is up and nothing can stop it. Bravery is a mindset not an decision; be it cancer or facing an immediate situation. These brave men stopped what could have been a bad situation.
@@MechaSegaNite well she's out of the military but you never know what a single act of Bravery can entail. Yes I remember Afghanistan in the people left behind that was an act of cowardice by our government.
When being a cop you sign up to risk your life over others, these officers were brave and fast to prevent a situation from getting worse. If more cops did what they did tonight then we could have more hope.
@Cristian garcia We have A LOT OF COPS 99.9% WHO WANT TO DO JUST THAT! IT’S FEAR OF PRISON FOR DOING OUR JOB, DOING WHAT WE WERE TRAINED TO DO. The Dept turning their back on us! Ret. LAPD Cop. I’m not going to prison becus A certain race thinks they’re a target. 1,2,3 cops allegedly killed a man, WE ALL PAY FOR IT! However, if you have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 cops that do a great job protecting citizens and saving the wife life, NOBODY CHEERS ALL COPS ARE GREAT RIASE THEIR PAY GIVE THEM BETTER EQUIPMENT. No, that’s not what happens to use. Teachers are teaching elementary school children that men can have babies because they’r transgender. These teachers don’t even inform the parents/guardians. No permission slip is sent home for a parent or guardian to sign allowing their/or the child or the child they’re carrying for, to sit in a class and be taught, a women can become a man and that same man can become pregnant. This is happening to elementary school children. Remember what I said, the parent’s/guardian’s are not asked or being informed their children are being taught this. Oh Lord you better not speak up because then you either hate gay people or you’re homophobic. Where are the peaceful protesters why aren’t the parents outraged? If one teacher stands up against it she’s/he’s a hero. But if one cop crosses the line or does what he or she is trained to do but it does look aggressive and it’s not pretty you guys freak out or you watch your city been burned to the ground you don’t speak up and defend the cops you allow cops they have money taken from their family a shortage of equipment when we go out on patrol and some of you who we’ve never met we’ve never had any type of encounter try to kill us. If we do our job and society judges us…not knowing the whole story nor a clue about or training, we face going to prison our families losing more than just their home. You expect us to go out and do our job how we were trained but you can’t handle that it’s not always pretty looking, and the department puts down all these restrictions we are no longer allowed to chase a felony. If a call comes in and gives a description of an armed in progress or a rape suspect is heading eastbound on first Street and we happen to see them we are told don’t pursue them let them go save your ass and your family we need more support from the public people should be out raged Cops hands are tied and teachers can teach whatever they flip they want without parent’s/guardian’s permission. People don’t become cops because of the pay, people become cops because it’s our calling it’s deeply ingrained in our heart’s to protect The innocent, the victim’s from EVIL. IT’S OUR CALLING!👮🏼♀️🫶🏻👮🏼♂️
@@julielaythe704 not true, he has often given partial information that should not be disclosed prior to a trial. He speaks his mind and it appears he is trying to be transparent. Go look at how his department handles records requests. They are far from transparent. Follow his history on blocking bodycams. He is not the great leader he makes out to be. He is just another politician. In this case they claim he is an active shooter... Who did he shoot? Who did he shoot at? Oh neighbors heard rounds whistling by their heads? Go request all those "neighbors calls to 911". You know they will of course release all those calls. Hearing a guy yelling to his wife if the cops come over I will do xxx is not exigentcy for murder. The officers had to have seen something other than him just come outside. Yet the sheriff alludes that is all they needed. He is wrong and that is part of the problem of him always speaking early on issues before all the facts are in.
We need more serious like this in America if they would have had someone like this sheriff then I bet you not near as many innocent people would have been killed in Texas they did exactly the right thing ran toward the shooting not waiting for instructions
@@pauldupey7640 You are Missing the point troll these men risked their lives and ran in knowing there was an active shooter threatening to shoot innocent people including First Responders something that even the people in Texas didn't even respond to in that shooting that happened in the school this is the kind of police we want but you're too stupid to understand that
Yes he is WONDERFUL. He is MY Sheriff and I am beyond proud of how he and his Deputies keep Citizens safe and “handles” the criminals. He is AMAZING and always has been.
This guy's videos need to be used when teaching police how to help the public understand evolving situations. Well done and bravo to the police that DID THEIR JOBS well.
Ah the difference a screwed up mass shooting makes. Instead of “he had mental health problems the cops should have tased him or tried to de-escalate”, now it’s “great job for rushing in & shooting him “a lot””. (Which I do agree with them doing).
Imagine being stupid enough to do this the first week after this exact sheriff says “ We will take you out if your an active shooter, if it’s between us and our children we will lay our lives down every time”
Sheriff Judd is straight up. He explained everything where even a child could understand. Clear and honest. I’ve always like Sheriff Judd and he seems to be fair.
He sort of left out the part where the reason they are being investigated because they executed a man, having a mental health crisis, based on hearsay from a 911 call.
@Ralph Anderson Damn, are y’all that degenerate with your robotic comments about Chicago in EVERY comment section? 95% of people will never go on the South Side. That’s gang & drug related crimes. Very different from crimes happening in common public places all over town. You people are truly ignorant. Chicago is safe, it’s common sense, don’t find your way into the hood. That goes for every damn mayor city. Newsflash!!! Poverty = crime. Find another comparison besides Chicago, because that never worked in the first place
He loves the sound of his own voice. Just like every other narcissistic person does. Tainting the jury pool for people who are suspected of having broken the law is unconstitutional. Innocent until proven guilty? Smh not in his county.
I've been following Sheriff Judd for a couple of years now, and he's used that phrase, no pun intended, a lot. I remember one time him saying that if you want to surrender peacefully, there won't be any problems. But if you came here looking for a shootout, we're gonna shoot back......A LOT. That's his philosophy, and it seems to work quite well against folks trying to shoot it out with his deputies.
Sheriff Grady Judd is America's sheriff. From everything I've seen, you can count on him and his men to do the right thing regardless of the situation. Polk county, Florida is lucky to have him and are smart to keep him in office.
Look up this sheriff and his opinion on bodycams. He said if we wanted recordings ``every citizen has cell phones that can point at us” and used the privacy excuse. It shouldn't even be necessary to explain why that's ridiculous in every sense. And it's apparent he believes his officers can do no wrong period and even since that's been proven wrong. He believes they are a complete waste of funds and along with other things, he’s just a virtue signaling authority figure pandering to the public and his community when they've been pushing for them for years.
@@SkinniJ No police had bodycams for most of the years they were in existence . They shouldnt be required. It is just one more thing that could cause too much restraint that could lead to an officers death because they didn’t respond with the force necessary to nuetralize the lawbreakers. If someone is physically resistant to police then they have placed themselves in a position to be dealt with however an officer sees fit, like this guy. The LAST thing Sheriff Judd is, is a virtue signaler .😂
This is exactly how active, murderous shooters should be dealt with. Polk County, Florida has highly trained, competent, brave sheriff's deputies led by a Sheriff (Grady Judd) who may be the best sheriff in the United States.
As a black man, I have a lot of issues with policing in America. HOWEVER, one area that I do not have any issues is the Polk County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Grady Judd is a bright shining light in an otherwise dark "corner" of America. This country needs more men and women like him in law enforcement.
Hey Marcus. What is it you like about Sheriff Grady? Personally, I agree. He is great. A few questions: 1) What are your SPECIFIC issues with police. I say this because I don't want to hear "police kill black people"-for example. If that is your belief, what can we do to stop it? 2) What is it about Sheriff Grady you like as opposed to other members of law enforcement? 3) Are you for or against "defunding police"? Thanks Marcus. Waiting to hear your reply my friend
@@ericweiler6571 He is not attempting to cover his officers before investigating what happened. He is clear and concise, communicates in a timely manner.

"Michael came out of the house with his long gun, rifle in hand, and when he did...we shot him...a lot...and that was the end of the gun fight."

Well you can blame your so-called regime of a government that don’t respect law-enforcement or military or border patrol do you know why because they’re out there risking their lives to save innocent lives by cold-blooded killers that are running rampant in our streets nowadays because of the lawlessness our place used to be very well respected until Obama got in so now we’re seeing once again Obama third term
what a royal Fukup- what they needed to do was set up an unsecure perimeter and let the guy kill untill he was done, then send in off duty feds to actually end the threat
We need more officials with this attitude…there would be far less innocent people who lose their lives by people who decided on these types of actions. This man announced his intentions to everyone within hearing distance, including on the phone.

Yeah, that’d be nice. Sadly, what you typed only applies to Polk County. In many other counties, the criminal element is running amok. Leon County is a good example. Did you know there is a criminal gang operating openly out of 700 N. Adams Street in Tallahassee?
@@MarcosElMalo2 Well...it applies to every county that's tough on criminals.

When you couple that with SYG and Castle Doctrine you have a very nice place to live. The Saint Petersburg and Clearwater areas are a dump. That place went sideways because the people decided they wanted a soft on crime stance and are now really wishing they hadn't.
@@MarcosElMalo2 I would suggest letting your representatives know what's happening in Tallahassee. If that doesn't shake something loose go higher. I would be as loud as I possibly can about it until something was done.
I’m glad it turned out well. Fortunately, no one was hit by any of his “to whom it may concern” bullets he fired while he was walking the neighborhood streets. At this point, any neighbor was justified in ending the problem with a privately owned firearm, ending the threat, preventing innocent death or injury to bystanders, and eliminating the need for a high-speed response by LEOs, which, by their nature, are sometimes dangerous.
"...and we accommodated his request." Perfectly stated! About time that everyone understands that blame rests upon the perpetrator, not the responders! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

Every time I am infuriated by the actions of Police, I am humbled by the honor and courage of the Polk County Department. You are the model of what police officers should be. Sadly most police departments are not like yours. Thank you for being the shining light in the dark, and to those departments doing the right thing, thank you as well.
What do you base your statement, "Sadly most police departments are not" like the one in Tampa? Do you research this stuff? I live in a rough community but am pretty sure our cops only kill those who deserve it for their own disrespect of the lives of others, and only when that's the only way to safely bring them in. I wonder if people who have had their loved ones endangered or injured, or been that themselves, continue to stick up so vehemently for the bad guys after their own personal injury? If someone is out in a neighborhood firing a gun, somebody is going to die. I'd rather it be the bad guy with the gun. That doesn't mean all cops are good people. It's that way everywhere. Everyone has to deal with a little trash in the department, actually no matter the job you're doing, and I'm sure there is some in Tampa too. No difference.

Sheriff Judd is a true Law Enforcement Officer, he has my respect and my appreciation, he is a prime example of how all police should conduct themselves.
No it wouldn't we are a major military industrial prison complex that thrives and war and killing and dividing and creating new enemies all over the world. There is a lot of money to be made by using violence on a super large scale. Our enemies are far richer and smarter then these dumbed down sheep in America. If you were paying attention, this country has been taken over from within. So they will destroy America and bring its paralyzed economy to its knees. We have wide open borders, major increases in crime and inflation and the streets are flooded with drugs and alcohol. Your government don't care because they have been bought out by the OPEC trillionaires and the Chinese debt trap. These enemies have infiltrated your country and will take your guns and freedom and all your tax money and give it to people in other countries to use against the American sheeple. They love crime and anything that weakens and helps bring American society to its knees so your new Masters can enslave you and make you bow to them if they decide to let you live. But the dumbed down sheep are none the wiser. It pays more to be a traitor and destroy a country then to save it. Two more years of Biden and you can kiss America goodbye and when they take your guns it will be game over.
Look up this sheriff and his opinion on bodycams. He said if we wanted recordings ``every citizen has cell phones that can point at us” and used the privacy excuse. It shouldn't even be necessary to explain why that's ridiculous in every sense. And it's apparent he believes his officers can do no wrong period and even since that's been proven wrong. He believes they are a complete waste of funds and along with other things, he’s just a virtue signaling authority figure pandering to the public and his community when they've been pushing for them for years. Quit taking things at face value.
@@SkinniJ you are just a cop hater. If people don't want to get shot, then they shouldn't be violent criminals. Plain and simple. Like I said before, they probably don't have the funds to buy body cams because of people like you. Cops had to shoot a woman in Houston that had a gun to a persons head trying to carjacking them. She ran but was pointing the gun at the cops. They had body cams. Which dont have the highest resolution , so the motion of her and the cop made the still shot mess up the ankles as she ran. So now, even with a camera ,cop haters are claiming its photo shopped. Which is stupid because they would have fixed the ankles too in just a minute or two. So having a am isn't going to make any difference. Whiners and cop haters like you will find something to twist and complain about. These cops did their job. Not that long ago cops didn't have any cameras anywhere. Not even in their car. Let them do their job. The guy had already shot up the neighborhood in case you weren't listening. He got what he asked for. No woman should have to be afraid for her life either. Its obvious he was too violent to let go especially since he said he would shoot first responders. Would you stand there and let him shoot you??
I don’t know the sheriffs whole story, but as often as he’s on UA-cam or news, he always seems clear, transparent and empathetic. in this case, nice to see the cops take action here and pursue the suspect and saved potential lives (even with the threat of their own lives).
He’s been working with sheriff’s office since he was 18 years old.. only job he’s ever had.. he’s up for retirement but he said he’s gonna go til he can’t anymore:. just celebrated 50 yrs of marriage to high school sweetheart..!! Watched a sort of behind the scenes on him and he’s such a positive, awesome presence in his community..!! Ppl’s true feelings come out whether they are real or fake and is obvious he truly cares about the citizens and community..!! He is living the dream ..!! Do what you love, and love what you do..!! Thinking he’s at the 50 yr anniversary for law enforcement as well..!! Agreed, need a lot more like him that goes well above and beyond..!!

@@SkinniJ yep. That whole "so we shot him a lot" line is cute and all. But one day people are going to wake up to the fact the he is capable and very willing to tell whatever story makes his guys look heroic. There's never *any* footage to show what really happened. And he'll keep it that way as long as people keep blowing about how wonderful he is. There are so many instances of Polk county deputies shooting people, and while the news and people on social media think that great, try talking to some of the people who were there and saw what happened. You never hear from them unless you happen to meet them by chance. And the stories they tell are usually very different from Judds..

This Sheriff knows how to lead. You will never hear him say that the reason they didn't engage a shooter was that they would get shot. Even if someone is drunk, if he has been shooting already and reloaded to shoot First Responders and his wife, then you need to listen to them and act accordingly.

We took out a “McNut”. The Uvalde incident is a complete opposite. These officers went straight for the kill. Good job. No donut breaks. No handholding. No one’s feelings getting offended.
The sad part is, my sincere belief is if the 19 officers sitting in the Uvalde school hallway with their thumbs up their a$$es had been told there were two police captains (instead of teachers) and 19 police officers (instead of 19 4th graders)in that room they would have taken action within minutes of arrival. Anyone doubt that statement?
Instead, they froze, allowing more shots and more deaths and completely missing that medical "Golden Hour" to treat the wounded. Instead, those injured teachers and kids were left abandoned to bleed to death and take their last breaths while those who swore to serve and protect them, waited. And waited. Then finally, after an hour of doing nothing, those 19 police officers made their only good move of the day; they took the ultimate walk of shame to get the he11 out of the way to allow the courageous Border Patrol agents to do what they could not.
Yes, these Florida officers deserve praise for their action against one who threatened to kill their fellow officers. Sad that they seem to exhibit more bravery when their own gang members' lives are on the line.

Thos man is not in the sh*t business. He doesn't have any to give, and he damned sure doesn't take any!
Really ?? Ask him to release the bodycam footage of this or any other deputy involved shooting. Oh, that's right, it doesn't exist, because he flatly refuses to put bodycams on his deputies. Stating that it's to "protect the citizens privacy". He gets to tell whatever story he wants, and there's nothing in existence to show what actually happened.
@@vonadams4968 Don’t commit crimes and you won’t get shot by police. Fairly straightforward. Probably saved a lot of money not using body cams too. More money for ammo.
@@vonadams4968 I don't really have a hard time believing this story. But I don't like a department that won't use body cams. That's absolutely so they can get away with anything and not have the footage to dispute their narrative. It should be federally mandated for all cops to have body cams.
Cops don't care about the public's privacy. They constantly invade the privacy of citizens and harass them without due cause. The lack of body cams is to make sure no officer is ever held accountable for their misdeeds. It's as simple as that. But that doesn't make this story false.
This sheriff should just be honest and upfront about why he won't use body cams. He should say that his officers don't need anybody second guessing their actions. They make the calls and that's the end of it. It's dishonesty on his part to say it has anything to do with privacy. When footage is released, private info is always redacted and edited out.
Dishonesty and policing go hand in hand. It's a dishonorable profession from the get go. I've had the most innocent family members be harassed for absolutely no reason by cops. These family members don't drink or use any drugs and were doing nothing wrong. Yet cops still go out of their way to harass and intimidate these individuals. Cops are just thugs all around.
@@linuxiswaybetter It’s only straight forward for the willfully ignorant. Imagine defending LESS transparency…😒
The Sheriff knows how to conduct a news conference professionally, & concisely. Kudos to the deputies.

I respectfully disagree. The reason is he has said a lot of condemning statements before people had their day in court. Unfortunately we have gotten away from innocent until PROVEN guilty. There are a lot of people convicted in the news before they had a fair shot to clear their name. I'm sure he is a good guy but he also has sworn to uphold the entire constitution not just the parts he likes.
TRUE! And he also isn't hesitant to say what he doesn't know instead of making stuff up to look important. There is NOTHING wrong with saying what you don't know, what is still being reviewed, and details that are not yet clear. For sure all answers do not have to be told in just hours after an event like this.

@@GiGiLuvsKatz well trained?

Yes. You summed it up. Sheriff Judd is MY Sheriff. Heres an example to how he handled an “attempted” riot during the summer of unrest 2 summers ago. He and the Lakeland Police Department were present during an incredibly peaceful march downtown. Both uniformed and plain clothes Deputies on site . They kept an eye on the cars coming downtown with out of state plates. They were the infiltrators. The moment the first thug jumped on a car and began bashing the windshield from the roof of the occupied car the Deputies “handled it immediately”. They took him down and off to jail he went. The others managed to break 2-3 storefront windows… but as soon as they saw he wasn’t playin’ - off they went. THAT was the extent of our “riots” in our town. THAT was Sheriff Judd. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
@@lizzieb6311 I wish our law enforcement officers were as vocal as he is. Though we are pretty safe in this little city of ours.

There were protests but needless to say very little damage was done. Just some graffiti if I remember correctly.

@Cristian garcia We have A LOT OF COPS 99.9% WHO WANT TO DO JUST THAT! IT’S FEAR OF PRISON FOR DOING OUR JOB, DOING WHAT WE WERE TRAINED TO DO. The Dept turning their back on us! Ret. LAPD Cop. I’m not going to prison becus A certain race thinks they’re a target. 1,2,3 cops allegedly killed a man, WE ALL PAY FOR IT! However, if you have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 cops that do a great job protecting citizens and saving the wife life, NOBODY CHEERS ALL COPS ARE GREAT RIASE THEIR PAY GIVE THEM BETTER EQUIPMENT. No, that’s not what happens to use. Teachers are teaching elementary school children that men can have babies because they’r transgender. These teachers don’t even inform the parents/guardians. No permission slip is sent home for a parent or guardian to sign allowing their/or the child or the child they’re carrying for, to sit in a class and be taught, a women can become a man and that same man can become pregnant. This is happening to elementary school children. Remember what I said, the parent’s/guardian’s are not asked or being informed their children are being taught this. Oh Lord you better not speak up because then you either hate gay people or you’re homophobic. Where are the peaceful protesters why aren’t the parents outraged? If one teacher stands up against it she’s/he’s a hero. But if one cop crosses the line or does what he or she is trained to do but it does look aggressive and it’s not pretty you guys freak out or you watch your city been burned to the ground you don’t speak up and defend the cops you allow cops they have money taken from their family a shortage of equipment when we go out on patrol and some of you who we’ve never met we’ve never had any type of encounter try to kill us. If we do our job and society judges us…not knowing the whole story nor a clue about or training, we face going to prison our families losing more than just their home. You expect us to go out and do our job how we were trained but you can’t handle that it’s not always pretty looking, and the department puts down all these restrictions we are no longer allowed to chase a felony. If a call comes in and gives a description of an armed in progress or a rape suspect is heading eastbound on first Street and we happen to see them we are told don’t pursue them let them go save your ass and your family we need more support from the public people should be out raged Cops hands are tied and teachers can teach whatever they flip they want without parent’s/guardian’s permission. People don’t become cops because of the pay, people become cops because it’s our calling it’s deeply ingrained in our heart’s to protect The innocent, the victim’s from EVIL.

Yes he is WONDERFUL. He is MY Sheriff and I am beyond proud of how he and his Deputies keep Citizens safe and “handles” the criminals. He is AMAZING and always has been.
This guy's videos need to be used when teaching police how to help the public understand evolving situations. Well done and bravo to the police that DID THEIR JOBS well.
Big difference between him and Uvalde Texas Sherriff...
Texas cops need refreshers but first they did balls
Amen!
Ah the difference a screwed up mass shooting makes. Instead of “he had mental health problems the cops should have tased him or tried to de-escalate”, now it’s “great job for rushing in & shooting him “a lot””. (Which I do agree with them doing).
@@allisonjames2923 This guy was armed and had declared his intent. This was an unusually cut and dry situation.
Imagine being stupid enough to do this the first week after this exact sheriff says “ We will take you out if your an active shooter, if it’s between us and our children we will lay our lives down every time”
The guy had to be suicidal
Stupid is as stupid does.
And he did real stupid !
Sheriff Judd is straight up. He explained everything where even a child could understand. Clear and honest. I’ve always like Sheriff Judd and he seems to be fair.
He sort of left out the part where the reason they are being investigated because they executed a man, having a mental health crisis, based on hearsay from a 911 call.
Never did he say that the man even pointed his weapon at the police.... or that they even heard a shot.
His county is one of the worst in the country, he’s doing nothing affective against crime tho 😂
@Ralph Anderson Damn, are y’all that degenerate with your robotic comments about Chicago in EVERY comment section?
95% of people will never go on the South Side. That’s gang & drug related crimes. Very different from crimes happening in common public places all over town.
You people are truly ignorant. Chicago is safe, it’s common sense, don’t find your way into the hood. That goes for every damn mayor city. Newsflash!!! Poverty = crime. Find another comparison besides Chicago, because that never worked in the first place
He loves the sound of his own voice. Just like every other narcissistic person does.
Tainting the jury pool for people who are suspected of having broken the law is unconstitutional.
Innocent until proven guilty?
Smh not in his county.
This guy is awesome- and he’s making a not so subtle point in the process. This is how you handle an active shooter.
Real cops executing their duties their job. Shaming Texas so call officers.
amen!
They actively shoot active shooters.
“We shot him. A lot.” Seems funny now but in that moment it was surely terrifying. Good on the deputies.
I've been following Sheriff Judd for a couple of years now, and he's used that phrase, no pun intended, a lot. I remember one time him saying that if you want to surrender peacefully, there won't be any problems. But if you came here looking for a shootout, we're gonna shoot back......A LOT. That's his philosophy, and it seems to work quite well against folks trying to shoot it out with his deputies.
Good for the deputies. Threatening to kill all of them. deserves a "mag dump" or 2 or 3.
we accommodated his request
Sheriff Grady Judd is America's sheriff. From everything I've seen, you can count on him and his men to do the right thing regardless of the situation. Polk county, Florida is lucky to have him and are smart to keep him in office.

It is just one more thing that could cause too much restraint that could lead to an officers death because they didn’t respond with the force necessary to nuetralize the lawbreakers. If someone is physically resistant to police then they have placed themselves in a position to be dealt with however an officer sees fit, like this guy.

Hey Marcus. What is it you like about Sheriff Grady? Personally, I agree. He is great. A few questions:
1) What are your SPECIFIC issues with police. I say this because I don't want to hear "police kill black people"-for example. If that is your belief, what can we do to stop it?
2) What is it about Sheriff Grady you like as opposed to other members of law enforcement?
3) Are you for or against "defunding police"? Thanks Marcus. Waiting to hear your reply my friend

Yeah, that’d be nice. Sadly, what you typed only applies to Polk County. In many other counties, the criminal element is running amok. Leon County is a good example. Did you know there is a criminal gang operating openly out of 700 N. Adams Street in Tallahassee?

Well...it applies to every county that's tough on criminals.

I’m glad it turned out well. Fortunately, no one was hit by any of his “to whom it may concern” bullets he fired while he was walking the neighborhood streets. At this point, any neighbor was justified in ending the problem with a privately owned firearm, ending the threat, preventing innocent death or injury to bystanders, and eliminating the need for a high-speed response by LEOs, which, by their nature, are sometimes dangerous.
Well communicated as always. This guy has a big picture brain.

Every time I am infuriated by the actions of Police, I am humbled by the honor and courage of the Polk County Department. You are the model of what police officers should be. Sadly most police departments are not like yours. Thank you for being the shining light in the dark, and to those departments doing the right thing, thank you as well.
What do you base your statement, "Sadly most police departments are not" like the one in Tampa? Do you research this stuff? I live in a rough community but am pretty sure our cops only kill those who deserve it for their own disrespect of the lives of others, and only when that's the only way to safely bring them in. I wonder if people who have had their loved ones endangered or injured, or been that themselves, continue to stick up so vehemently for the bad guys after their own personal injury? If someone is out in a neighborhood firing a gun, somebody is going to die. I'd rather it be the bad guy with the gun. That doesn't mean all cops are good people. It's that way everywhere. Everyone has to deal with a little trash in the department, actually no matter the job you're doing, and I'm sure there is some in Tampa too. No difference.

We have wide open borders, major increases in crime and inflation and the streets are flooded with drugs and alcohol. Your government don't care because they have been bought out by the OPEC trillionaires and the Chinese debt trap. These enemies have infiltrated your country and will take your guns and freedom and all your tax money and give it to people in other countries to use against the American sheeple. They love crime and anything that weakens and helps bring American society to its knees so your new Masters can enslave you and make you bow to them if they decide to let you live.

@@SkinniJ you are just a cop hater. If people don't want to get shot, then they shouldn't be violent criminals. Plain and simple. Like I said before, they probably don't have the funds to buy body cams because of people like you. Cops had to shoot a woman in Houston that had a gun to a persons head trying to carjacking them. She ran but was pointing the gun at the cops. They had body cams. Which dont have the highest resolution , so the motion of her and the cop made the still shot mess up the ankles as she ran. So now, even with a camera ,cop haters are claiming its photo shopped. Which is stupid because they would have fixed the ankles too in just a minute or two. So having a am isn't going to make any difference. Whiners and cop haters like you will find something to twist and complain about. These cops did their job. Not that long ago cops didn't have any cameras anywhere. Not even in their car. Let them do their job. The guy had already shot up the neighborhood in case you weren't listening. He got what he asked for. No woman should have to be afraid for her life either. Its obvious he was too violent to let go especially since he said he would shoot first responders. Would you stand there and let him shoot you??
I don’t know the sheriffs whole story, but as often as he’s on UA-cam or news, he always seems clear, transparent and empathetic. in this case, nice to see the cops take action here and pursue the suspect and saved potential lives (even with the threat of their own lives).
