On July 7th 2016, a tragic event unfolded in Dallas, Texas, that shook the nation. During a peaceful protest against police violence, a lone gunman carried out an ambush targeting law enforcement officers. This attack occurred in the wake of highly publicized incidents involving two controversial police shootings , which had sparked widespread outrage and calls for reform.
As protesters marched through downtown Dallas, their chants were quickly shattered by gunfire.
The gunman, positioned himself high above, and began targeting police officers, indiscriminately firing at them from a hidden vantage point. Chaos ensued as officers and civilians alike scrambled for safety.
Four hours later, a tense standoff unfolded as law enforcement worked to negotiate with the suspect. However, the suspect refused to cooperate, leading to a historic call by Dallas Police Chief Brown.
In memory of the fallen.

What topic should I cover next??? >:]
You should cover captain Philip or Operation Acid Gambit
Black Hawk Down Maybe?
No.
@@jesusparra8367 chances are low that he will do the video about that
@@liibaanfarxaan4471 I know but Eh. Still a Good topic ngl
That police Chief did a Pro Gamer move. C4 on a Bomb Disposal Robot? God damn.
That move is straight out of battlefield 4
He also told his officers not to carry rifles, or wear body armor.
@@Bluis5445 this was due to backlash about the "militarization of police" right?
R2-FU
@@PopoMedic bro was literally RCXD'd
Dallas PD had their HQ attacked the previous year by a gunman armed with an AK-47 who used an armored van as cover. He got taken out by a SWAT sniper using a personal .50 BMG anti-material rifle.
A fifty, huh? Sounds like they needed more than a thumb to help them
By personal you mean this dude just brought his own barret to work?
So this guy just so happened to have his 50 BMG handy? That’s badass…
@@nicholasdangelo8174Wasn't handy, he had to go home to get it. Dallas PD has a code for "go get your personal artillery".
@@annonimity276 The Dallas Police have a special procedure that the Chief can authorize. It basically allows SWAT members to use personal firearms in certain situations.
You are a criminally underrated channel. My heart swells with pride for my country each time you drop a video. It’s incredible, an art for really, how you’re able to capture the raw grit and stakes of a situation, emphasize the heroics and badassery of those involved, and wrap it up in a respectful and honorable way. Props you sir, I hope to see your channel continue to grow.
CRIMINALLY I see what you did there my man 😅
His older videos were way better. He deleted all of them and made this garbage.
If you’re country is the USA you should really not feel any pride. We’re living in a broken system.
Same man
The introduction music, the videos, the editing, the commentary, the music, the classy and respectful way you navigate these really major incidents, to inform us of the real people who served and died, Sir, no more words⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ .
Man, Dallas sure does have an issue with snipers in buildings storing books.
Or do they? 😎
At least there wasn’t a grassy knoll involved 😉
If you've seen the documentary "Tower", this description fits almost exact. Just minus the book storage.
they also seem to have an issue with thinking there are two shooters, even if there is only one
It's a hoax situation. Proven to be false
This is literally NEVER talked about
I was unaware of it.
Yeah ofc not, there was no black guy getting killed by police, the media ain’t about it
I still remember when this happened, maybe it would be an embarrassment to the police force?
It disproves the narrative that police keep the public safe.
Because there's no Ben Crumps or Al Sharptons there to gin up racial hysteria/hatred about it...
Nothing like opening UA-cam and seeing a new PopoMedic upload
Hey PopoMedic.
You did an excellent job producing this documentary. Well put together, easy to follow, suspenseful, killer audio score, and really created a lot of empathy.
Keep it up
I remember hearing about this back then and it made me think why the fuck did one guy go up against an entire police force
Because no justice, no peace
He's an moron especially since he had an 1.98 GPA.
@@Bluis5445 good point
Because the guy wasn't very smart with an GPA of only 1.98.
People with a lack of direction in life are easier to manipulate and for them to deep dive into these radical mindsets.
Don’t forget to mention that the government didn’t follow their own laws to document his issues.
Wow almost like the government knows about these people and they let them go ahead and do what they want hmmm wierd
“The government” is filled mostly with a bunch of regular people just trying to do their job. I doubt Nancy Pelosi ordered this guys records released. More likely some clerk who makes $50K a year dropped the ball, like we all do some days
that's america 4 ya😫
"he was on our radar" 😪
Gee it's almost like the government uses disturbed people to push certain political agendas.
Thank you for these mini-documentaries.
always a fantastic day when popo medic uploads
It's hard to believe that there were people at the time cheering this guy on and others decrying the use of explosives on a citizen of the US "instead of just arresting him".
When egalitarianism goes wrong!
we still are lol. i love that you have the constitution in your pfp but are to dumb to know the founding fathers would have disposed of you lol.
Why is so hard to believe? Police at the time were murdering unarmed black people with higher visibility than ever. He made a video and said if it happens again he’s going to retaliate on behalf of his people. Is it that much crazier than police gunning down unarmed people?
@@AndrewGarnerAdventuresfacts
Because they are ignorant idiots
I work in security and I've been ripped for this so many times "you can't wear an outer vest, it's too intimidating". I'm so sick of hearing this bullshit, last boss told me that I told him ok come do a ride along with me with no vest and see how fast you change your mind. To security and police out there, if you work a job that requires a gun in a sketch district, fuck your co or field sup, it ain't his ass wind up in a pine box at the end of the day, wear your ppe. If they don't like it, hire a lawyer and sue the company or department for osha and L&I violations. Outdated or mindless policy isn't worth your life.
No amount of money is worth your life.
Remember to do cardio
Shouldn’t being able to be intimidating be considered a *good* thing when working security? Public relations has its place without a doubt, but it’s probably better to have somebody who can both be seen as friendly and intimidating at the same time if possible, and if not, intimidating in security would probably better over not.
FRAS system when you can afford it
@@youthoughtaboutit6946 me personally, i feel much safer when i see police or security with good gear. i remember i was in Frankfurt airport, and i saw ALOT of security with MP5 and vests. i wasn't worried about anything at all. same with sweden. in Italy as well, near popular destinations such as squares or that big church in Milan, there would be a group of armed people with military gear, so i assume they were some sort of military unit. i didn't worry about anything at all. felt pretty safe and sound
Dude your videos are so well made i usually get goosebumbs during the intros Amazing editing and research!
I forgot what it was like having a president that can give an eloquent speech. Not a good man but well spoken
He was an absolute hypocrite, so much of his rhetoric (Trayvon could have been my son! The police are militarized!) lead directly to this incident, meanwhile his secretary of State was kicking off a 4-way civil war in Libya that kills millions to this very day.
Yeah, except for when he then ripped the police for being racist later on in that very same eulogy. A silver-tongued asshole, that's what he was...
They didn't show the whole speech. He trashed police too.
yep, obammy was a slick snake oil salesman....and still is being one of Biden's puppet masters
@@AH-vz9rr Sure he did, you bot. GTFO here.
I had just got back from my first OIR deployment and was chilling in my barracks when this happened. I called my homegirl to make sure she wasn't in Dallas. She was in absolute tears about this whole thing. All the videos made Dallas sound like a warzone.
No shit? I was actually on my first OIR deployment when this happned lol
@@franny11786 yeah I was in Kuwait 6 months then Al Asad, Iraq for 3 months. I've been to Al Asad 3 times tho.
@@TCraig00 Nice. I went to Iraq a couple times. Spent a few days in Al Asad while in Iraq the 2nd time. They have a lot of nice amenities there although they still managed to be short on water at the time lol
@@franny11786 every time I've deployed there was a shortage at some point.
Babe wake up, Popo Medic just dropped
... wake up? I stay woke. [Jk plz no booly]
I'm glad someone else thought of this joke
It's getting rare. Popo Medic used to upload every Thursday. Now it's like once every month or longer
Oh my gosh so happy you’re doing a video on the Battle of Athens! I just learned about it by happenstance a few weeks ago and was shocked I had never heard of it. Pretty amazing story. Sounds like you’re putting a lot of effort into the video too, can’t wait! 💕
Thank you for making a video on this ive been looking for this incident for a while
For such a historic incident, it’s honestly sad how few people remember this. Most of my cop buddies here in California only have a very vague knowledge that this even occurred, and the vast majority of people don’t even know it happened. Everyone knows the name of George Floyd, however nobody knows the name of these cops who have done infinitely more for their communities.
Society, ladies and gentlemen.
The media discards all tragedies they can’t use for their own agendas. If the shooter(s) isn’t a straight white male with an AR-15, they don’t care.
Actually remember seeing it, it was on the morning news in Minnesota and all I remember is this 3D recreation of what happened and footage of it.
In large part due to the ridiculous amount of coverage the Floyd incident got from an " unbiased " media while the unprovoked ambush of police in Dallas was old news in about 48 hours.
You know I was involved in public safety super well over 20 years as a full-time paramedic, and a part-time deputy.. and I keep up on the happenings of law enforcement, but the sad thing is this was covered very briefly in the news and for not more than two or three days. And I'll be honest I forgot all about it within weeks because there was basically no coverage of it and it was only until the next year when I happened to see something on UA-cam about it that I went and reinvestigated and researched this incident. And I'm just absolutely appalled by how little coverage and how little public or institutional knowledge there is of what happened that day. And tragically because of that I think we're doomed to have it repeated.
Another incident, that involve the officers that were sitting down a lunch and were literally gunned down, does anybody remember that
Blue lives don’t matter.
Just something I want to add - not directed towards anybody specifically: you can be anti-cop all you want, but don't glorify shitty people when you do so, and don't be that shitty person; it's self- destructive.
tbh george floyd was a terrible image. dude was everything P.O.S but somehow cops are worse??
@@riograndelocos9639and I'm sure they'll have a status of Floyd someplace
@@riograndelocos9639there are hundreds of bodycam videos online with corrupt cops violating constitutional rights, planting drugs, violating use of force laws, being drunk on duty etc.
Obviously cops are needed but at the same time they are horribly under-prepared, unexperienced and not vetted enough in the US.
There are so many cases of unlawful arrests, murders and cases corruption done by US law enforcement.
I’m not anti-cop, i’m anti shitty cops.
And yes some officers are legitimately worse than george floyd, trust me! There are enough videos online.
@@riograndelocos9639i mean Chauvin kneeling on his neck for 10 mins for no reason wasnt a very good image either🤷♂️
@@CocoCrispy_rest in piss
Thanks for constantly making these quality videos!
Popomedic, another great vid! Cant wait for your directorial debut!
I remember being on foot patrol the next night in a whole other state. I was in a populated area and people were coming up to me and my partner and threatening us “I hope you die like the ones in Dallas” etc. There was a mass threat on all officers in the state and we had to work in pairs.
I'm sorry you had to put up with that. 😢
People are nasty
If they only had to do your job for even a day and see and deal with the bs you deal with. But we live in a largely stupid society. I work in urgent care here at Kaiser SF Bay Area and man I deal with some fools but not quite as bad as the ones you deal with
About the same time there was that ambush in Baton Rouge
Those people are terrorists as far as I care. Stay safe.
Whoa I remember this $hitshow… people were complaining about the fact the officers used a robot to kill the shooter. They rather you risk more blue lives 😮😮😮
They would love to have seen what we use in the Middle East😂
Yes.
@@waxer7842 Right and those predator drones killed many innocent people too. Good ol American citizens are too delusional
If you listen to the killers last moments on police bodycam, he was pleading for a black officer to turn on his brothers and start shooting them... Micah was a loose cannon crazy bastard
Because liberals.
Holy shit man I’ve never watched any of your videos before. But the story telling and the music pulled on all the heart strings. You’ve earned a new subscription!
You’re editing is really good 👍
I had forgotten they played the same games in 2016 that they did 2020. Thanks for the reminder.
I instantly thought the same thing.
The shooter was black. So media buried it pretty quick. If it was a disgruntled white ex military, they'd still be talking about this today.
@@ericsfishingadventures4433And here we are today, just a few months before the summer of another election year. Buckle up!
its crazy to think about, that what we thought was the present news just yesterday is becoming history now...
Yikes. Yeah for 2024…😬
He was in my battalion in Afghanistan, weird dude. I saw him a few times in the TOC.
I think we gathered that he was a weird dude
Well obviously he was a weird dude.
@@benchoflemons398 @jetsopp well we weren't kept in the loop as why he was under investigation or disarmed, which had occured while I was gone for 4 months assigned to another unit. But prior to my departure I didn't see him being THAT weird.
This is a good insight that people making stupid comments miss out on.
Micah as a black man was just tired on the bs
I havn't been here for awhile and its crazy to see this channels growth 🙏
Because it's boring now. His older vids were better.
@@Constitutionalist76 can you not read 🥲🥲🥲
Nearing a million subs brother; keep up the work.
I was in Finland. Was on the news there. The family I was with were in awe.
Congrats on 750k dude.
Thank you for the video.
This type of videos I have never saw broken down like this.
It is amazing thank you!
Thanks for covering this, dude. My brother was in law enforcement down here in Houston when this happened. To say this horrific tragedy shook our family (and him, of course) is an understatement.
of course the facists families always are scared when the people fight back. just remember your brother isnt the good guy.
I remember watching footage of “the pillars” shooting on the news. It was clear that he had some training. He used suppressive fire to make that officer take cover behind a pillar so he was able to advance and eliminate him.
And apparently that officer was a Marine as well, not just a regular cop. It's a crazy video, indeed.
@@YormanGinaa rifle up against a handgun is also a HUGE advantage in a gunfight
I think by far, you're my favorite content creator.
There's no other channel I get as excited about a new video.
That’s cool you asked your audience for hands on help to be in one of your videos ! Definitely subscribed
Dude, your content is above and beyond. The style, editing, music, research.. it has its own aspect of doing things in every way conceivable and it shows through. I feel bad for people that have not yet found your channel, because they are missing great content on a regular basis
I was just wondering when a new video would drop and was happy to get the notification! Keep up the great work!
Your videos inspire me to continue training for counter ambush training, as well as analyze ambush training.
sweew that was chilling with the music at the end with the Prez speaking. Great video man seriously
I knew Sgt. Smith and OFC Krol from working downtown at the Federal Courthouse as a contract security guard. They where both pretty squared away in my interactions with them and always had a decent gallow joke to swap with us about the "interesting" people we interacted with. Going into to Dallas the morning after was an experience, no one was out an about not even the homeless were out. The company told us "to get to the building quickly" in case there was anyone else deciding to shoot at law enforcement and mistook us as police.
Sgt. Smiths funeral was held at the Catholic Parish I attended as a kid in my old neighborhood. Had no idea him and his family were regular parishioners there. Definitely hit close to home when I found that out. I was actually in the area when the funeral was being held. So many cops from all over the nation and even Canada were there showing support.
Popomedic that was an amazing retelling of a horrible event. Thank you for your great work in keeping the memory of the officers who laid down their life and those who put theirs in harms way.👍
Absolutely couldn’t say it better myself
These mini doc videos are outstanding👏💯
Just discovered this channel, great work
I absolutely love how your channel has progressed. Keep it up buddy!
Been a while since you dropped a video, so excited when I saw this. Great as always. Can't believe this was 8 years ago this summer.

this channel is soooooo addicting i love it, your the man dude i would love to do anything i can help you out brother
Love how the media says 2 snipers without knowing nothing
The media still does this; always assume there is more to the story
you know the media loves to hype the story
Love every video you put out. Only youtuber I've watched every video they have put out.

Dude I miss when your uploads were more regular. I love your content, even if it comes less frequently
Very well made and put together video. Thank you
Your channels intro music is so fire, I actually began to crave it and seek your videos because of it
This video hits different as a lifelong Dallas area native. Was in high school and on vacation with my family in Jamaica when this happened. Remember being absolutely horrified about what was going on at home while watching it on TV in the hotel room.
I'm a simple man, I see a Popo Medic video, I click.
Wildy underrated channel love every vid
Oh snap, the homie is back! Im sure glad to see you PoPo!!!!! (Definitely not something people voluntarily say with enthusiasm)
I’m from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and I was 10 yrs old when this took place, crazy how it’s almost been 10 yrs since that shootout happened, I remember it like it was yesterday.
8 years
@@Dust_Death "it’s almost been 10 yrs since that shoutout happened." FFS
@@efoxneoI wouldn’t call 8 years close to 10 years
I was a few years older than you were at the time when the Orlando nightclub shooting took place not too far from my house.
@fatrat6988 8 is literally a couple of years away from 10 it is by definition the start of "almost 10 years."
I was working in Dallas when this happened, I just remember sitting outside watching all the DART police fly to the station because they thought a gunman may have jumped onto the train.
Thank you for making this video.
Very great video as always. Please keep up your content. I have an idea for a topic and it would certainly be very interesting if you dealt with the terrorist attack at the Olympic Games on September 5, 1972.
Love your videos man. You inspire me!
Man yes another upload! I legit get giddy everytime I see another video! 😂
Thanks for watching!
@@PopoMedic you do an AMAZING job brother keep up the great work!
How does this channel not have 1m subscribers?! Unreal
Popo, I like that you edited it so that the Sun Tzu quote showed at 9:01, presumably as a hat tip to the radio call at 9:01pm.
Yooo popo medic upload we eating good babyyy
The moment I heard "cant bring rifle or armor" i would have quit on the spot tbh. that PD values their image more than the lives of their officers.
So you want to walk around in body armor carrying a rifle? Why are all cops terrified of the people they're supposed to protect? People get shot in mass shootings. It happens to everyone. That doesn't mean we all should walk around carrying assault rifles.
They value the trust of the public which just so happens to include their image.
Having the public's trust is probably one of, if not the most important aspects of a police department. Them saying they can't wear heavy body armor and can't bring long guns is understandable if they had these still available in their cars just in case.
The decision to not even have them in the cars is what is unacceptable.
@@user-bt8xr5si9yyou know what’s even more important? Your life. At the end of the day yeah that’s what the job entails and most know what they’re signing up for, but I’d be damned if I was in that profession and being told not to be equipped with what could potentially save my life. Dumb statement and point of view.
@@yankeeangelfan4564The people were protesting the militarization of the police and you want them to show up with heavy body armor and fully automatic rifles looking literally like the military?
That immediately tells me that you wouldn't fit into that profession.
Sure your live is very important that is no question but like I said I can understand them preventing the officers from going fully geared up to the protest but they should have all their stuff in the cars just in case.
If they did it probably wouldn't have gone as badly.
If they had it right from the get go it would likely have the same outcome as if they had the gear in the car.
Your life is important but the general public having your back is the most important thing because without that you have no power to help anyone.
I remember this event like it was yesterday. I was two months out of the academy when this occurred. Over 8 years later, still in LE and I’ve lost several buddies along the way. I am blessed to work with a community that loves us and protects us, like we protect them.
That ending actually had me in tears hearing more about those officers who had fallen
Ah yes my favorite UA-camr posting monthly gold for me to watch. Keep at it!
Popo the goat at it again
I’ve been watching these mini docs for a while and the quality only gets better. Y’all make outstanding videos. Also just wanna say I miss the era of my life where our highest office was held by someone who spoke with tact. No judgement one way or the other on politics just something I picked up on. May those who died rest in peace.
Yeah, that ended after Obama. At least the US President seemed well put together an actual coherent, thinking individuals.
@@Plxusible he exactly
Cops didn’t care that the protesters hate them, they still protected them. Mad respect.

They hate on cops then hide behind them when theres a shooter🤦🏾♂️ goes to show that where there is bad there is good i wish the best to all the fallen officers that went into gunfire for their community
Love your content brother!
damn.....this video just reminded me i havent heard a US president say a coherent sentence in 7 years
Yep. America's presidency is just gonna keep going downhill from here when the choice is picking either the idiot republican candidate trump or the idiot democrat candidate biden😂
Funny. As coherent as Obama was, he played a huge role in creating the racial division and hatred for police at that time. Who gives AF if he could speak well?
I may not have agreed with his policies as a president, but damn could Obama speak.
Ong. We need to stop having clowns in the white house
@@SG-us4gz Let me be clear…some of the greatest orators are some of the most manipulative and destructive people.
I remember being on block leave spending time with my better half and my best friend since childhood and his wife, flipped on the TV, and seeing some of the death and destruction in real-time.
I had taken vacation because I wasn’t sure I wanted to stay in the army.
Seeing almost the entirety of this play out in front of me live on television, solidified my decision to stay in for as long as I could.
Your videos are amazing man. They hit me in the gut often.❤
I remember this vividly as kid. My dad is part of law efforcment. i remember watching the officer get gunned down behind the pillar on the news and the image of that video has never left my mind. Makes me realize how dangerous law efforcment really is.

@@caiden-_- okay your point? Racism is racism
Couple interesting tidbits of information that I will share from both living and working as LE in the area when this occurred -
They had so many officers attempt to check on scene and became involved in this incident that their CAD system crashed completely, and ended up being down for upwards of an hour while the shooting was still actively occurring, which essentially rendered dispatch blind and nearly useless, through no fault of their own. Further adding to the confusion and chaos.
Also, to the points regarding the horrendous management by the chief. Chief David Brown (mentioned in the video) was notorious for running the agency into the ground and pandering to the city council, etc. In the history of the agency, he was the starting point of the officer shortage crisis they're still experiencing to this day, being 500+ officers short.
Case in point, in 2010, his son (a convicted felon) shot and killed a police officer at a neighboring agency during a disturbance call. Chief Brown proceeded to then issue an agency memo stating that any officer who was told to work his son's funeral and refused to do so would be terminated immediately. He was well and truly despised by the rank & file officers under him.
