401, you have no idea how incredibly grateful I am that you decided to share this embarrassing story. There are many good guys out there who are "wanna-be's" and even though well-intentioned, their enthusiasm leads them to make dangerous mistakes. This is the kind of story that will hit home with so many of us and remind us to do our jobs as armed civilians, but also reminds us to let the cops do their job, too. I'm so thankful this situation turned out well for all parties. I'm extremely surprised that the cops let the veteran go without even getting his information. The last thing dispatch heard was that he had a gun and then the line disconnected. How in the WORLD could they let ANYONE leave the scene after getting that information?
I’m 13 year old and your content is just so inspiring I’m from the Middle East I plan to move to America and become a cop after getting my citizen ship I Learn a lot from your content and laugh a lot from it keep it uo
Carson k dude I have no respect for my country laws are messed up and I’d move to America any time I get the chance to ik the wars I live in Egypt witch is “” never been in war with America
@@ghostjackal5273 Egypt and Jordan are my top locations I wish I could visit, that's cool you want to move here. And as you may think, most Americans aren't really into all the fighting...your best bet is to move to a small town, like most immigrants, if you want the real American experience, big city folk are a whole different breed :p
Uhhh, why the hell would a middle eastern immigrant want to move to a “small town” USA? SEEMS like someone’s trying to get this young man killed lol. Young man if you’re reading this, everything you said was admirable and although I’m not the biggest fan of cops I respect the percentage that are “good”. I’d strongly advise that you try different environments out before settling down here in the USA, in my experience I’ve dealt with more hate and vitriol from small towns who aren’t used to “different” people for example people who don’t look/live like them. Now this is not to say big cities don’t have issues but they tend to be more of a bigger mix of cultural backgrounds which naturally you’ll find people are more accepting of foreigners,you may find foods from back home,people you have common interests with etc. Idk if you pay attention but a middle easterner moving to let’s say a small town in the Tennessee mountains , May set off some alarms for the locals a lot of these people have some not so nice feelings toward foreigners and if you happen to be of Muslim faith ( not assuming that you are) I urge you to do tons of homework on the hate crime stats of the particular area you’d like to go. Some idiot is going to argue about what I said here but it’s just another side of the coin the uglier potential truth, everything ain’t sunshine and pretty girls here sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.( I hope you understand that phrase but if not google can help you out)
"Funny thing about this story about the first time I had a gun put to the back of my head..." Wasn't quite expecting there to be a "funny" part associated with a gun being put to the back of your head. Lol
I love you so much officer 401 your channel has informed me so much about what police officers actually have to go through be safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving
Yeah, that makes no sense. Don't care where you came back from, you're not supposed to be doing >90 and swerving through traffic. This ain't Iraq, we live in a society.
@@sergnoff94 The speed and swerving can be rationalized if he truly thought he was being followed. Putting a gun to someone's head after discovering they were a security guard and not a cop is a lot harder to explain. They should have at LEAST gotten his info.
@@andytaylor1588 Yep. I talk very often with friends who are police officers. One is an O.P.P. level 1 constable and the other is a RCMP Sargent. I can't wait to get until I meet all requirements to apply. Unfortunately I was educated overseas so my diplomas are just piece of paper. lol
Glad you made it out of the situation safely! Thank you for sharing stories of your screw ups and telling us the lessons you learned from it. It takes your channel to the next level and makes me respect you so much when you allow yourself to be vulnerable! Hope you and your fam had an awesome thanksgiving!
WOW! what a great "don't do dumb shit" story. Stories such as this remind me the first rule of having a CWP is "avoid trouble". You were lucky to have avoided it on that day. Thanks for sharing.
Driving a truck cross country I learned not to bother calling in suspected drunk drivers unless it was a coordinated effort so multiple calls would be made by different people. First time I had a weapon pointed at me was on Interstate 8 in southern Arizona near Yuma. I passed another truck and a pickup truck was delayed about 5 seconds. He pulled up next to me, reached under his seat and got a handgun and started waving at me. I attempted multiple times to call 911 but the call was answered by a FAX MACHINE!! He stayed directly next to my steer tire for several miles and then he was gone.
This has been my experience with calling in suspected DUI drivers, as well. I have done it numerous time in my state, New Mexico, and I have YET to see an officer actually show up to intercept these guys.
I'm grateful that you are okay from that first situation! I love your videos and think you're an amazing officer. Thank you for sharing so much of what you do.
It's amazing how calm officers can be talking about incredibly stressful situations. "...I'll be sharing the time when I had a gun put against my head. The funny thing is..."
The moment of realization when the South Carolina State Troopers realized they fucked up hard XD I want a face expression of those troopers when they realized you weren’t the real criminal
Okay, so you get cuffed for "stalking" but that dude has a gun to your head but lts him go. Which is more serious, following someone for a reason or getting a gun to your head. Thats what was confusing.
I'm guessing he probably said he was a vet and was followed and pulled over by someone pretending to be a cop, so he pulled his weapon and detained him.. Not sure why they let him go before they finished questioning everyone involved..
Born, raised, and still live in South Carolina. Man, that sounds like SCHP and most county cops in general. Most LEO's here in SC (based on my experiences) don't take their jobs to heart. That being said, there are still some great and humble folks in both state and local departments. However, it seems to be fewer and far between
Damn, son! That’s one thing that I do all of the time. I always follow drunk drivers or reckless drivers until PD gets them in custody. I keep a distance of about 7 car lengths and I tend to call the dispatch office of the county that I’m in at that particular moment. Lucky for me being a firefighter, I have met cops from every county in my area so I can easily get an officer on scene. I bet you were scared for sure because I would be too being that young. Be safe brother! Love your channel! God bless
As a combat veteran I can completely understand where he was coming from and why he reacted in such a way. I can also answer on why he was speeding but it doesn't make it right. When in country there is no speed limit and we haul ass, and I can see someone who drove in flat desert roads flying even faster.
Wow. What a great story but bad encounter. I really enjoy this channel, glad to stumble across your profile. Plus thank you for your service. I am from Canada but an Native American so big props to you.
This story is scary and glad You are safe along with Your family. I'm not a Police Officer and from my own experiences i've been a victim of assault in the past and it's scary! And recently since i became a target individual every once in a while there will be various problems in the neighborhood but glad for the neighborhood watch is there for protection but it's much better if Police Officers were monitoring the Neighborhoods for safety reasons thanks for sharing this Video Content
My Dad was a Policeman in London in the late 1950's and into the early 60's. One night he stopped a car with no lights on and the driver put a revolver to my Dad's face and pulled the trigger before roaring away. When the bloke was caught the pistol was examined and was fully functional. For some reason that round didn't fire as the others did when it was tested. He then transferred to another Constabulary.
As a security guard of 6 years, I have seen this first hand. Security guards acting like cops or trying to act "mocho". And let me tell you... DO NOT DO THIS. Officer 401 is a perfect example of this type of stuff. There is a huge difference between security and Police. Stay within your own means and you'll be fine, wanna be cop? Apply. That's all I can say. Stay safe and happy holidays!
They probably did respond but when you're going 70 through a total of 6 counties, it becomes pretty hard to catch up and pin point their location. Thus when he stopped they were on it pretty fast. That and he said "Gun" lmao. Just my opinion though..
Mr. Pepe yup he probably would’ve been better off calling the state police of the state he was in they have more jurisdiction and typically are doing highway patrols anyway
I am a Taxicab Driver by trade. I have had guns, knives, whips, chains and all sorts of weapons pulled on me. Thankfully I had a Safety Barrier in the car. It was just over a half inch thick Plexiglas. Had 1 guy get into my Taxi(front doors were always locked) while I was off duty and he pulled out a gun and cocked it. Well I knew that by the sound of the gun that it was not cared for. I heard it grinding as he cocked it. A grinding gun while being cocked is a DANGEROUS weapon to the user of it. I knew if he pulled the trigger, he would be well suited for an ER than anything else. So all I did was flip a switch that flashed the former police lights that my 'vic had and went reckless with driving. FINALLY a cop pulls me over and the guy in the back had 49 warrants out for him. Well the 1 cop thanked me for being an idiot until he realized that my car WAS his former patrol car(you could see the "ghosting" of the police department decals and unit number on it). He offered me $7,500 CAD for the car right then and there while his partner did the arrest procedure. Didn't sell my car at all. Never got charged with reckless driving. I still wonder why.
I had a gun put to the back of my head when I worked for 7-Eleven as a cashier. I got a rush out of it and not one second was scared for my life. I did everything the guy wanted me to do, which was taking all the money in the store.
You are so awesome at storytelling, dude, it's really a gift! It's hard to find people who are so engaging and create such vivid images. Thanks for another great vid! Happy Thanksgiving, we are all thankful for you. Cheers!
Happy Thanksgiving! How in the world have you been able to hold on to this story for so long without telling us?! I hope you have more like this 😁 Take care sir!
Security 401 protecting us all since birth
Since birth, hahaha. That one made me chuckle.
Lmao
officer401 haha love you man! Happy thanksgiving to you and yours!
He earned those turkey legs👍
Well, I finally realize why I've seen the security 401 comments. Also officer 401, I feel you got real lucky with those red and blue lights.
A video of what you would be doing if you did not become a cop🤔
He surely be a bank robber!
What up brother. Happy thanksgiving. Stay safe.

also don't die

Stopping bad guys before he’s even a cop, this dude is a badass lol
A video on what you would’ve done differently 10 years ago with the knowledge you have now
I love you so much officer 401 your channel has informed me so much about what police officers actually have to go through be safe and have a Happy Thanksgiving
What doesn’t make sense is that the guy was about to kill you, possibly drunk but the cops let him go & without his information.

Hey Officer401 always remember that I will always stand with you through thick and thin I respect all first responders.
Your moral was different to my thoughts on the conclusion, it was it take 7 counties and 2 states to report a drunk driver.
@@mlx39996 so basically if you want police to respond to a drunk driver, then tell 911 that the person has a gun. 🤣
WOW! what a great "don't do dumb shit" story. Stories such as this remind me the first rule of having a CWP is "avoid trouble". You were lucky to have avoided it on that day. Thanks for sharing.

"I like what I like and that's it." I sighed nodding my head in pure agreement repeating it after a long day of work saying "yeah!" 🍺
Holy crap! What the hell!?!?! Crazy ending to a crazy story! Thanks for sharing man!
I hope that gentleman is doing well today. He’d prly get a kick out of this video, and be happy to see how far you’ve came.
Omg, that guy I swear I probably would’ve been the same way if I had just came back from Operation Iraqi Freedom
Great story.. always a good reminder to stay alert and stay safe.. as long as you're thinking about what you are doing.
I am so very thankful for guys like you who keep us safe daily!!! You are amazing and I pray for you & your co-workers daily
I’m glad you told your story. There are a ton of DA’s posing and their not kids. ☺️
I'm grateful that you are okay from that first situation! I love your videos and think you're an amazing officer. Thank you for sharing so much of what you do.
Much Respect from Northern Arizona!!! Happy Thanksgiving! And thank you from the bottom of my heart to all you active officers.
The TV was distracting me and then I heard you say you were in handcuffs then I thought "I must of missed something, I have to back this up!'
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving
It's amazing how calm officers can be talking about incredibly stressful situations.
