Right? I feel like if the cop hadn't been there this could have turned out very differently. Guy was terrified to give up his phone because it is his whole life, and has no cash to give. Desperately trying to dig out his wallet from a back pocket, trying to get the guy to leave him alone, and accept that he has nothing. But the dude just keeps threatening him. Jesus.

@@jasonvidez388 literally everyone.... People in their homes, jobs, everyone. We can thank the anti cop, anti gun crowd.

He saw nothing. they were apparently stopped for a light, at a certain point you can see cop start to move up when the light presumably turned green but then stop short when the cab in front of him didn't move. after a few more seconds with the cab not moving, (probably only then noticing some potentially odd activity inside the cab) *then* he hits his lights & gets out of his car to walk up to the cab. You can hear him say "What's the problem here?" as he approaches the cab, apparently still not sure why it hasn't moved, but by the time he even finishes the sentence he probably already has a pretty good idea what's up.
I'll never understand how people has the guts to do that. Seeing a human being terrified like this man breaks my heart, I can't even imagine me being the reason of someone's pain.

How did NOBODY catch that…like seriously??? I spot a cop car miles away, he’s BEHIND you and you pull an armed robbery? Fucking GOOF, poor cab driver had every exscuae to not see that given the distraction at the time… BUT YHE GUY WITH THE F****ING GUN?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!
Nah, he'll never recover fully. He'll be second guessing every passenger that comes in his vehicle, and he'll be watching his back like never before. Every time he sits in the driver's seat to do his job he'll remember the moment he was nearly robbed and possibly killed. He will definitely just learn to live with it, if anything he probably took leave or left the taxi job altogether. Either way I don't blame him. I got into a car accident. Was at a red light waiting to turn left when another vehicle making their right went all the way into my lane and hit me head on. Although I walked out with a mild concussion and no broken bones, I was thinking every car on the oncoming lane would veer off and hit me. I'd be sitting in the passenger seat and get flashes of a head on collision scenario. It's been months since the accident and Although I can drive, I still get those flashes of fear every so often. I still hate to be the first car at an intersection, especially if I'm making a left and there is construction because the person who sped right into me happened at an intersection with heavy construction. Pisses me off so much because I don't get why people plow through construction zones like that. For nearly three months I tried to avoid making left turns, I also avoided being first at an intersection. I would slow down enough that I could maybe get someone to overtake me or switch lanes so that I'd be behind someone. I'm still quite shaken up, everytime I get into my vehicle or anyone's vehicle I think of the accident. But at least it's not to the point it affects me ability to focus on the road. I never drive if I'm not 100% committed. If I feel slightly off, I do not get behind the wheel.
I doubt the robber did much time. I was robbed at gunpoint on 07/01/22. It was all caught on camera in front of a car wash. The guy (age 42) was picked up a week later and went to lockup for 30 days. His mom had posted bail ($25,000) then he disappeared... the bond was forfeited. Again he was picked up on a warrant and mom bailed him out a second time. again the bail was forfeited. There are warrants outstanding. At this point, I know where the guy lives but the detective tells me, the jails are overcrowded. I'm due back in court as a witness (along with two other witnesses) on 07/17/23. I know he'll will be a no show, but that's just the way things are.
He was probably scared himself & unfortunately thought robbery was his very last resort in life. You can tell he’s really trying to sound threatening he even says “-if you don’t wanna die” then later one says “I’m not gonna hurt you”. He’s a conflicted man. I hope the cab driver recovers & I hope the thief makes better choices in life.
The fear and terror in the Taxi drivers voice made my heart drop. A guy just trying to make ends meet is robbed by some low life scum bag. If this man continues to drive a Taxi I can't imagine the anxiety and fear he will have wondering if the next person is going to rob him again. I hope that he receives some kind of counselling. Bless this man and keep him safe and secure.
Time for the older gentleman to be a Walmart greeter. No sarcasm. Pick a *safer* way to make a buck. In the end, isn't he saying something about a heart attack? Edit: a 6 y/o video. Hope he's retired by now and enjoying a good golf game somewhere.
I felt so bad for this man. He could be your grandfather. His voice when he said,"you're a life saver!' that just rips me up. The fear that poor man has to feel for no reason. Thank God that cop was there.
I second that! I could feel that man’s emotion it gave me goose bumps. My older brother is responsible for dozens of armed pharmacy robberies and thinks no one was hurt but big pharma…. That’s how a psychopath thinks…
@@commander.m1c919 Yes he did do jail time because it was the second time he had robbed 15 or more pharmacy’s within a ten year period . First time he only received probation he played the addiction card very well. Second time the judge didn’t believe him and gave him 2 yrs less a day which keeps it provincial jail time opposed to federal which is any sentence over 2years. In a nut shell the Canadian justice system is a joke. Canada is the place to be if you want to be a criminal they give at-least 2 chances to get good at whatever floats your boat!
Yeah it's ironic how the robber is so dumb (not saying I agree he was right) But he didn't look around, and he didn't see the cop, but the cop can clearly just see him. I found it a bit ironic. The cop when up to the window and said get out... He says "don't fkin move, you understand? Do you have a gun on ya?"

Kudos to the officer for noticing and connecting the dots. They're so often looking at a computer screen when stopped for traffic, and it couldn't have been easy to see enough to figure out what was going down from his perspective.
John Beckwith: Which is so odd! Because apparently he noticed the taxi didn't move forward at the green light until the light turned red again. Usually, if you don't move forward at the green light and there is a Cop behind you - the most likely scenario the Cop will flex the siren once or twice to get you moving. Not get out of the car and see what's going on as far as I know. But this Cop did it completely reversed. Honestly? This was a sheer luck turned of event. And it's always better for Cops to investigate first rather than to tag along with it thinking that it's a nothing burger situation.

I drove a cab in NYC. Got robbed several times. After a while you get used to it - I never even reported it to the police because they do nothing. The first time I was robbed my cab was stopped at a red light in Harlem on a hot summer night - window open, no A/C. I kept my wad in my left shirt pocket. The guy came up and cut the pocket out of my shirt with a knife, then he pointed the knife in my face, my immediate reaction was "that guy was really good, he was like Zorro carving up my shirt". I was actually impressed. Also impressed that it did it all without cutting me. I think there must be something wrong with me emotionally because I don't get scared in those situations. After that I took no more fares into that neighborhood.

He saw nothing. they were apparently stopped for a light, at a certain point you can see cop start to move up when the light presumably turned green but then stop short when the cab in front of him didn't move. after a few more seconds with the cab not moving, (probably only then noticing some potentially odd activity inside the cab) *then* he hits his lights & gets out of his car to walk up to the cab.

I hope the cab driver has recovered completely from this trauma. And I hope the robber is still behind bars for a long time to come.
Nah, he'll never recover fully. He'll be second guessing every passenger that comes in his vehicle, and he'll be watching his back like never before. Every time he sits in the driver's seat to do his job he'll remember the moment he was nearly robbed and possibly killed.
He will definitely just learn to live with it, if anything he probably took leave or left the taxi job altogether. Either way I don't blame him.
I got into a car accident. Was at a red light waiting to turn left when another vehicle making their right went all the way into my lane and hit me head on. Although I walked out with a mild concussion and no broken bones, I was thinking every car on the oncoming lane would veer off and hit me. I'd be sitting in the passenger seat and get flashes of a head on collision scenario. It's been months since the accident and Although I can drive, I still get those flashes of fear every so often. I still hate to be the first car at an intersection, especially if I'm making a left and there is construction because the person who sped right into me happened at an intersection with heavy construction. Pisses me off so much because I don't get why people plow through construction zones like that. For nearly three months I tried to avoid making left turns, I also avoided being first at an intersection. I would slow down enough that I could maybe get someone to overtake me or switch lanes so that I'd be behind someone. I'm still quite shaken up, everytime I get into my vehicle or anyone's vehicle I think of the accident. But at least it's not to the point it affects me ability to focus on the road. I never drive if I'm not 100% committed. If I feel slightly off, I do not get behind the wheel.
You're assuming he continued this job afterwards though
I doubt the robber did much time. I was robbed at gunpoint on 07/01/22. It was all caught on camera in front of a car wash. The guy (age 42) was picked up a week later and went to lockup for 30 days. His mom had posted bail ($25,000) then he disappeared... the bond was forfeited. Again he was picked up on a warrant and mom bailed him out a second time. again the bail was forfeited. There are warrants outstanding. At this point, I know where the guy lives but the detective tells me, the jails are overcrowded. I'm due back in court as a witness (along with two other witnesses) on 07/17/23. I know he'll will be a no show, but that's just the way things are.
Sucks you had to go through that.

Aww that poor man.. Hearing the "Oh my god!" At the end just broke my heart.
Coming From an ex robber myself, he got exactly what we both deserved. I ended up doing 4 years of a 4 to 15 sentence when I was 20 to 24. I'm 48 now and haven't even had a traffic ticket. Hopefully this young man turns his life around also and benefits from God sitting him down instead of laying him.

He was a taxi driver
@@wecountingmoneyoverhere2517 so basically get robbed?
Robbers are not required to have a PhD in Astrophysics
Kudos to the officer for noticing and connecting the dots. They're so often looking at a computer screen when stopped for traffic, and it couldn't have been easy to see enough to figure out what was going down from his perspective.
@E Double did you read that somewhere? That makes alot of sense I was thinking how did he know.
He didn't walk up with his gun drawn, he didn't see or know what was going on.
John Beckwith: Which is so odd! Because apparently he noticed the taxi didn't move forward at the green light until the light turned red again. Usually, if you don't move forward at the green light and there is a Cop behind you - the most likely scenario the Cop will flex the siren once or twice to get you moving. Not get out of the car and see what's going on as far as I know. But this Cop did it completely reversed. Honestly? This was a sheer luck turned of event. And it's always better for Cops to investigate first rather than to tag along with it thinking that it's a nothing burger situation.
They see life in a legal format empirically when so many civilians do not they see everyones secrets they have to to keep the order yes just a super hard working cabbie that guy was a massive terrorist sadist unforgivable to bully a hard working stressed out cab driver
@@metalnat27 Because cab drivers are never on their phones at traffic lights, so cop knew something was up, especially seeing movement in the backseat.
Poor man you can hear him say “I’m about to have a heart attack”. Thank God the policeman was there. Truly saved his life.
He should've told the robber the cop was behind him n let the cop blow his brains out. Hes a career criminal given 20 too many chances
At 0:46 the cop behind this taxi gets out smelling something rotten in front of him.
Why do you thank the "god" that let this attack happen in the first place?? Why don't you thank the police officer who is a real person and actually did all the work???
Stupid is as stupid was! this robber didn’t bother to first look behind him. Awww there Is a God! Lucky for that person 🙏🏼but nowadays different story!
@@Renard380 it's none of our business to know the how and why when it comes to God's plans. He created you, you are his slave, he's the higher power not you. Do fathers tell their kids everything in every detail while raising them? No. So you just have to believe. God gave us more than enough signs to believe in him, but unfortunately today it got to the point where people refuse to believe unless they meet him in person. Acting like he's the one who's supposed to prove a point for us humans not the other way around.
Poor guy. For some reason, I think a lot of people don’t fully understand how traumatizing this could be to somebody. You never know until you go through it yourself!!

Naah, that would be the easiest way to achieve the end-goal - a free ride to county jail.

I’d like to hear from cop haters now. And see the desperation and insanity of the protected species who did the robbery ? Imagine if he’d started fighting with cops like often happens ? Cops have a bloody dangerous job, it’s often seconds from disaster. That’s why people are stupid to fight or not follow orders. Then when sh*! happens people blame the cops. It’s insane. Look what they have to deal with.

@@mrgoldengraham027 Well unfortunately this unfair world does shape and force some people down a “bad” path.
The timing of that officer and how quickly he was able to get out and realize what was going on was actually pretty fast considering how difficult it is to focus on a single car in front of you. He also detained the guy fast enough to save the man’s life. I’ve been so angered with subpar police work and brutality cases but this officer deserves a standing ovation. This is what I would expect of an officer and nothing less. Absolutely amazing.
Yup, Bravo! (and Bravo Zulu from this old Navy man.)

Armed robbery of a cab driver. 10 to 20 years in jail for a few bucks.
I've been robbed at gunpoint before - in a pretty similar fashion - it's a level of fear you can't even fathom. The way the old man says "you saved my life", I know that feeling of relief and it's completely indescribable
With the way inflation and shits going, idk man
I drove a cab in NYC. Got robbed several times. After a while you get used to it - I never even reported it to the police because they do nothing. The first time I was robbed my cab was stopped at a red light in Harlem on a hot summer night - window open, no A/C. I kept my wad in my left shirt pocket. The guy came up and cut the pocket out of my shirt with a knife, then he pointed the knife in my face, my immediate reaction was "that guy was really good, he was like Zorro carving up my shirt". I was actually impressed. Also impressed that it did it all without cutting me. I think there must be something wrong with me emotionally because I don't get scared in those situations. After that I took no more fares into that neighborhood.

Sorry for your trauma. It should not have to happen. People's hearts are needing to change😢

Who knows.. a lot of people are really desperate in order to be willing to threaten others for money. Not defending him or anything. I feel bad for the cab driver. Probably got scared for life.. :(
@@lukthere2 I understand what you say, but doing it to an old taxi driver is fucked up. Atleast do it to someone who won't miss the money.

@@persona5305On the other hand who knows.
I am sure there was no police car when dude climbed in. He waited and waited, without peeking to not expose himself and as time passed, police parked there too.
And when driver sat down and robber pulled out a gun, he just didnt think of looking here and there.
Not entirely heartless since he ain't hurt him
@@rlcottenberryoh yeah sure, pointing a loaded gun at someone’s head isn’t hurting them
Also asking for all his money made the robber full of heart
A friend of mine’s dad died in his cab during a robbery nearly 20 years ago. He was in his 60’s, and had been a cab driver for nearly 40 years. He raised all 6 of his children on this salary, and was a well known fixture in his community. The very people that killed him, he had previously helped them. It brought me to tears when the gentleman realized the police was there to save him. Uttering the words...
Driver: "You're a life saver. Oh my God... my God. I can't believe it!
Officer to the perp: "You have a gun?
Driver: " He has a gun. He had it at my head. He had a gun at my head. Oh my God! Oh my God!

Scumbags. Absolute scumbags.

@@nikkinorman4254 I just lost my mum very suddenly in January, my Dad is more vulnerable than ever; it’s just the two of us now. I’m disabled, he’s elderly, I’m incredibly protective of him.

Thank you for being aware officers. Praying for that cab driver. This was nothing short of traumatizing
If only more of them were like this
He had no idea a crime might've been going on until he got to the window and noticed the perp acting suspiciously. That's why he walked leisurely up to the car with his hands nowhere near his gun, then later asked the guy if he had a gun. All he'd been aware of was the fact that the cab was blocking his way.
