  2. 3 flights of stairs are enough to make these officers essentially give up, let a mad man on a stabbing spree get a healthy head start. Physical fitness is a must to be an officer.

  5. Officer's nearly shoot each other again! They literally moved into each others line of fire. What is going on with their training?

  9. Only LAPD would have to wait for a stabbing suspect with knife walk the subway and then a few block. Could have stabbed alot of people walking.

  13. Contact made, numerous commands to drop the knife, foot pursuit, white male, dark clothing. Yet, he was allowed MANy opportunities to comply. My mistake he is of the 13%, interestingly he is still alive. No death shots

  16. What the hell is with LAPD and their unwillingness to get the job done? The POS threatened one, stabbed two, and these two cops were going to do what? Chase this idiot forever? The dude is clearly a threat and they’re going to let this POS run around the city, put this dumb a$$ down.

  19. Perp coming with knife at innocent bystanders: "Sir please put it back in your backpak. Sir? Sir? SIR! Sir please? Please sir?…."
    Perp coming with knife at them: BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

  21. Tactically that was the worst performance I’ve seen in a while on this channel. Look at the baby with his bottle(cop that can’t drop the radio even though he has all the tools necessary to handle the situation)

    “Officer needs help” why the suspect is down and no officers are injures that’s the worst radio communication you can put out.
