On a sunny day in St. Cloud, Florida, police officers gathered, like storm clouds, around an upscale residential neighborhood. They were heavily armed, quick response teams waiting around every corner; helicopter on overwatch. K9 at the ready. They were prepared for anything. Everyone involved had been briefed on the operation. It was go-time. They converged on their suspect with clock-like precision. But why were they there? They were about to foil a terrorism plot? Armed and dangerous fugitive? Escaped serial killer? Or was it an innocent guy in his home who wasn’t under arrest, and they just had some questions for him about a bar fight earlier in the day?

Your country is DISGUSTING
Thats the usa for you everybody. Terrible place. Don't spend your money there. Don't visit. Avoid the usa.
First bite. I hope he gave them their first big lawsuit
THEY SHOULD ALL BE IN PRISON FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER !!!!!!
Cops are just a legalized execution squad.
What’s gonna happen when army of family members steps out and blows them all away
I can understand police trying to stop someone they know is dangerous, but the first witness was obviously unbothered and the next witness was drunk off his ass. That's not clear and pressent public danger, that's wait until your witness is sober before building a case. Then they roll up on the suspect like he's holding hostages? Police are all clowns these days. This is just a repeat of how they murdered that poor pest control guy in his hotel just because someone reported he owned a gun that turned out to be an 0.22 meant to shoot vermin. He didn't wave it around or have it, he was on his knees, unarmed, begging to live when murdered. This incident reminds me of it as a bunch of insane, poorly trained and hyped gestapo show up with long rifles ready for an urban assault based on a drunk guy's rambling mixed with a desire to re-enact last night's episode of CSI. what. the. actual. fuck.
Gathered like storm clouds? Somebody is using AI for their script now 😂😂😂🤦♂️
Where is the bar video
What a bunch of bullies. It’s no wonder most people aren’t fans of cops. They’re guilty of everything they say they need to do to “be safe”…idiots…
Idiots like these #COPSTV will say that the lives of the police officers were put in danger.
If these guys cant handle pressure they should not be cops… i would put the with worst rapists in jail… and he didnt even control the dog, dog got scared and bit him and he was lounged by a kick in the back
“It’s fine if you sue us”. Can’t wait! How many assholes can you fit in one yard to abuse an elderly man.
It's always amusing to me when a citizen is having their civil rights ignored and abused say to the cops, "I'm going to sue you!" And the cops answer "That's fine." Like they are dead to rights in the right. And then find out later, 'Uh-oh, maybe we weren't so right after all.'
I hope the fire them all and send a couple to jail
I really enjoy your videos.
However I live in the UK and wonder why I enjoy seeing you bring justice to mob police officers.
I’m astounded by the things you bring to my attention, I’m sure there are some vile UK cops too but I can’t help thinking that there are some really disgraceful behaviours and attitudes over there.

Corrupt
Oppressive
Public
Servants AKA COPS
Been saying it for years now.
But there's only a couple bad cops right, certainly not a whole squad including swat?
"Your going to get it again" (dog bite) as the man is in full control by the cops….
What a bunch of ROTTEN pos cops
He was lucky they did not shoot him or kill him.
This is how they do it in Canada.
Some cops are pieces of shit on ego trips and this group of scumbags fit the bill. Hopefully someday they will get shot repeating this practice.
Just for reference and comparisons. I once lived on a cul de sac in Volusia County. One day I took a pistol I recently purchased and fired it a few times at a target in a large wood pile, I had on my property. About 15 minutes later 2 Volusia County Deputies showed up at my home. I was still outside doing various yard work and my pistol was secured in my home. One Deputy came up my driveway greeting me while the other stayed in the street. I returned the greeting and he then asked if I had a weapon and did i recently fire it. I responded positive and told him what i had done. He then asked if i had fired it in any other direction. I told him i did not. He then indicated that they were called because a stupid neighbor of mine called them to report me shooting into a camper i had parked on my driveway! I invited them to checkout the camper for themselves, which they did. Then they proceeded to tell me that my backdrop for shooting was ok but that i was within 500 ft of a school fence and discharging a firearm in that proximity to a school was illegal. I told them i was aware of that but misunderstood, thinking it was 500ft from an actual school building and i was easily 1500 ft from the the school building and that was the end of it.
So they responded to a call of someone possibly shooting into a vehicle with only 2 officers. They didnt have SWAT assholes, they didn't have a K9, they didn't have guns drawn, they didn't knock me to the ground, they didn't scream at me to put my hands up, they didn't even ask for ID and at the end, they didn't even write me a summons. They simply apologised and went on their way.
That is the way we are supposed to be treated by those there to protect and serve. The police at St.Cloud are typical thugs and all of them should be fired!
The handler did say, "bite"
One thing we can count on is if any of these officers get fired, there is a job waiting for them at ICE, this is our new reality.
These guys behave as if they've in Fallujah dealing with Al Queda. They all have the wrong we vs them mentality.
"Major got his first bite" as the cops are smiling, just another example of cops out of control.
Maybe…..just maybe if some high ranking judge or politician gets the same treatment from cops, then some reigns will be pulled in on how cops act, we all have seen too many cops acting like God and abusing citizens.
If cops had to carry malpractice insurance, in place of qualified, to cover their screw ups, and after 2 claims they loose the insurance and have to stop being cops
Crime must be at all time lows in St Cloud for the cops to respond like they are invading Normandy.
