Washington, DC — On Monday, May 9, 2022, at approximately 3:46pm uniformed members of the Fifth District conducted a traffic stop in the 1700 block of Benning Road, Northeast. The officers contacted two individuals in the vehicle, a driver and passenger. The officer observed the front passenger to be in possession of a handgun. The passenger shifted the gear stick of the vehicle into drive at which point the officer ordered both individuals to step out of the vehicle. After the driver exited the vehicle, the front seat passenger moved into the driver’s seat and attempted to drive away. The individual then exited the vehicle and fled on foot. As officers pursued the individual on foot, the individual removed a black handgun from their waistband area.

The individual ran northbound in the 700 block of 18th Street, Northeast, before entering an alleyway. Upon entering the alleyway, the officer observed the individual throwing the handgun to the ground. When the officer entered the alleyway, he observed the individual then picking up the handgun from the ground. The officer gave multiple commands for the individual to drop the gun, but they did not comply. The individual then pointed the firearm at the officer, who discharged their MPD-issued firearm twice. The individual was not struck by the officer’s gunfire. The individual continued to flee for a short distance, before ultimately being taken into custody. The individual’s firearm was recovered on scene.

  1. Get two hands on the gun my man.. I don't know if this is bad training or he is too scared for the job. Walks away from the gun on the ground.

  2. Do these people posses the ability to think or plan even ten seconds into the future? It seems like they don't. It seems like they're operating on just pure impulse, no risk/reward evaluation happening in their skulls.

  3. This is like the 3rd video of DC Metro officers freaking out after an OIS. What they he'll is going on with during there force on force and other training scenarios.

  4. It's weird how the other cop just ran around that corner without any disregard. And the one cop talking said you will never catch him

  5. Keep gun hand free at all times, in case you get into a shooting.
    Never reach into the car, in case driver grabs you & drives off dragging you to your death or his buddy shoots you in the head.
    You have the drivers ID, let him go. Track him down later, when he is asleep.
    Chase for 1 block to get the fleeing felony violation.
    You have suspect 2 photo, track him down later.
    This job is not worth dying for rookie.

  6. At first, I was like. How could this turn into a shooting, the guy seems so decent and calm. Then I saw that there was a passenger and said "yup, its going to be him"

  7. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 🤣🤣🤣 Someone forgot to learn how to drive stick before attempting to flee in neutral 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  8. To bad he missed. How much y’all wanna bet the peeps where both out and back on the street before the cop could catch his breath

  9. A regular "gym rat" this officer is lol. He ran about 100 m and was completely exhausted, not being able to continue the pursuit. Suspect got away from him unharmed. Grade: F.

  10. Either this officer aint cut out for this job or the DC liberals have their police force so neutered that they're training police to beg and plead at suspects not to shoot and can only shoot when they are fired upon and even they they have to keep pleading. That fleeing suspect should have been turned into swiss cheese. Also, why is he hanging back in the alley? GET IN THE FIGHT
