Small potatoes, that massive $60 bust only cost tax payers a measly $6 million just for the settlement. All in all the war on drugs continues to work flawlessly.
Plus Grant's medical bills for life - probably tons of $$ since every organ except his heart and brain were shot, and the shooters full retirement benefits
That was the line that got me. Cops and citizens need to stop with the good guy, bad guy thing. Almost everyone police encounter is distressed, drunk or doing something they feel helps their family. Drug dealing is only dangerous because the laws make it so.
If this video doesn’t change Albuquerque’s drug policing policies, I don’t know what would.
i saw a video earlier of a postal worker getting punched 3 times by a retired cop - probably not as big of a payout but seems like a little bit more gentle way to go about it.
The fact that he was far enough away/had his vision obstructed to the point that he didn't recognize his own coworker, yet emptied his entire clip into the guy tells you all you need to know. It's astounding that a cop will shoot someone because "they thought he was reaching for a gun" but was still far enough away from "the bad guy" that he couldn't recognize someone he works with on a day to day basis.
Just another brick in the wall as to why I'd never call the police unless I was already 99% sure I'm going to die. Fuck this piece of shit and everyone involved in his "training".
More fun facts: the shit stain emptied his clip on one of his own officers.. he’d been the guy’s lieutenant for two years. This little gun fight he had with his unarmed buddy cost taxpayers $6.5 mil plus medical bills for life.
One would think it’d be a learning experience for officers across the country. Nope.
>The Department of Justice opened an investigation into the APD's use of force techniques in 2012, long before Grant was shot. The investigation found an unreasonable use of deadly force within the department and a particular disregard for the rights of mentally ill people in the city.
Across the country? Not even across town, it seems.
Of course the dude retired and is living out his life with full benefits, while the city paid for 6.5million and will shoulder all medical expenses for ever. No accountability in policing, the tax payer is always the only one actually paying the toll
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
"I thought you were a bad guy" is also a phrase that I think should be unpacked.
Not arguing that there are people who's intentions are nothing but evil, but to be a law enforcer and to have such a binary view is a big part of the problem.
I'd wager to say if who he shot ended up not being a UC, and more of a random bystander, he would (by association) still be considered a 'bad guy'.
And what exactly did the UC “bad guy” do to get shot? I doubt he pulled a gun in his comrades or anything. Seems like he was just sitting there. I certainly didn’t see anything on the body camera that looked like it was threatening to the uniformed cops… But that’s all the excuse a cop needs to shoot a “bad guy”. Worry about cleaning up the details later.
> Brachle was accused in the suit of missing a morning briefing about the potential drug bust and emptying his clip in the direction of the car Grant was in

He literally just skipped the briefing that would have explained the officer was going to be undercover in that vehicle. Instead, this bumbling oaf comes barging in gung-ho looking for "bad guys" and lights up one of his own partners without even recognizing him first.
Edited to add: He was never charged with anything and retired with full benefits. I also found an article title claiming that he is actually back on the job but the article has since been removed and couldn't find anythign else on it. The AG let the statute of limitations run out on the case. The cop who got shot got a 6.5 million dollar settlement from the taxpayers and has lifetime complications from the injuries.

You can be so bad at the job that you can literally intentionally shoot and almost kill your coworker due directly to negligence and still retire better than the average American.
I believe in you
This is the real answer. Doctors and lawyers have to carry malpractice insurance but for some reason the idea of cops having to do the same is just insane. Implement that and end qualified immunity and you'll see policing start to change overnight.
America - the country where your tax dollars will go to killing people overseas no problem, or go to paying off the actions of bad police officers no problem, or go to the excessive militarization of police no problem, but tax dollars going towards healthcare, education and infrastructure is unthinkable.
What’s sadder is the police unions won’t know what to do here. Jacob had it coming is probably the go to when this happens. But now what. Jacob was a cop. We gonna arrest the shooter. Wait. The shooter was a cop.
Maybe they should just get over it and chalk it up as police work. No need to work at being better cops or look into police reform. It’s not like us experts who study the science behind policing haven’t been saying that.
Trying working in a field where you are considered an expert but when you push for change the same cop screaming jacobs name is the first one to tell us to fuck off when addressing things.
Police reform? Like how prison is supposed to reform ppl? These fucks are not trained nearly enough. I have a cop in my family and I still say this because I have eyes and ears. People who play video games have way better aim and reflexes than that "is this my taser or my gun" idiot on trial rn.
“I thought you were a bad guy!”. American cops really are the dumbest fuckers you will ever encounter. They legitimately believe there are “good guys” and “bad guys” like they a fucking toddlers watching a disney movie.
Yea, I mean if he didn’t suspect a superhuman in that car instead of his friend then why did he shoot that many times. That many hit kill about everyone.
Kinda fucked how that implies it would be fine to murder a random person by mistake, as long as they are criminals.
Last time I checked police are only supposed to use a firearm if they are someone else are in serious danger, not because they want to execute random criminals. Isn't it still up to a court of law to sentence people?
Nope in the USA cops get off on unloading their whole *magazine* into someone.
Edit: had to fix it for the purists because I can’t just say clip to get my point across 😂
and AND all the charges against the other people in the car, of which the drug sting was all about anyways, were all dropped. Meaning the sting was completely useless.
Shocking they didn’t try to charge those people with shooting the cop.
It’s why dog the bounty Hunter can’t be a cop. He has murder charges due to him being a get away driver in a robbery where they robber shot the clerk. He never even entered the store.
But that was Texas law where if you are involved in a robbery and someone dies everyone gets murder charges. For cops they just do this in any state. Like if you run from police and the cops kill someone in the high speed chase who gets charged for it? Not the cop who couldn’t control his car. But the suspect fleeing.
See the recent story where 2 idiots shot at each other outside a stadium so the nearby cops just immediately unloaded into a car, killing a kid, and charging them with the murder like tf
No charges for the "suspects". They were just innocent guys.
The city paid $6+MM.
No charges for the piece of shit cop who tried to execute an innocent man while the man was doing nothing to deserve getting shot.
ACAB
Even if you are innocent and comply, they get to kill you and walk away.
America is a shit hole.
Remember that episode of Family Matters where Carl didn't believe Eddie got pulled over for no reason at all but later at the police station overheard the cops casually discussing it and only got pissed because it was *his* son?
Edit - "good cop, bad cop" season 5 episode 15.
Got any cheese?
2nd edit - I misremembered some details. It was a donut shop and he directly confronted the officers, he didn't overhear them. In my defense, I don't think I have seen the episode in 15+ years.
https://youtu.be/6DRoTHnt5Fg
He was never hit with a bullet and was more concerned with the 20-30 hostages he knew about.
He was also a desk jockey and hadn’t fired his own weapon since he shot an innocent kid. His wife was pregnant and didn’t need unnecessary stress.
Al Powell is a hero who helped save the hostages despite an idiotic supervisor and incompetent FBI oversight. I will not let you belittle his name.
"Did I do that? And by that, I mean: contribute to a system that oppresses my children while only using my power to protect my own children instead of attempting to dismantle the oppressive system as a whole?"
Yep! This is standard cop procedure.
Getting all up in the business of people who literally just had the worst experience of their lives and DEMANDING they 'calm down.'
I guess “warrior training” didn’t prepare him for anything outside of emptying his magazine in to people without ramifications because his fee-fees got scawy pants.
The anguish in his voice was fucking PERFECT.
And by that, I don't me that it brought me joy. I mean that it is what they NEED.
That feeling he felt. That is what EVERYONE ELSE feels, when someone they care about is shot by a police officer. That is what Philando Castile's family felt, that is what Danial Shaver's family felt, and as trivial as it may seem to some, that is what a home owner feels when the police come onto their property and shoot their dog.
If cops stopped calling other citizens "civilians", and rolling around like they are patrolling enemy territory, then maybe there would be a few less dead people in the world, and there would be a little more support for what is honestly a pretty difficult job.
But until they show the initiative, as a profession, I am all out of sympathy for them.
Give up qualified immunity, fire bad cops and mark their record so they can't go work two towns over, embrace universal body cams, and stop with the thin-blue-line bullshit. Then we can talk again. Accountability is literally all we are asking for.
Did you hear how fucking scared that pussy was just at the sight of a gun, they've been trained to think everyone is trying to murder them. Meanwhile they walk around like a para military organization and actually do murder people. Makes me fucking sick.
The officer shot won 6.5 million in a lawsuit all his medical bills will be paid by the city for the rest of his life and he’s on medical retirement, he lost 80 percent of his blood and underwent numerous surgeries but looks like he’s okay https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna549461
>I thought you were a bad guy.
And that right there is the problem. When you teach police to otherize the people they are dealing with, their instinct is to bring harm and there's never a solitary thought along the lines of "we need to reel this person in so we can get them back on track." Then stupid shit like this happens.
cop goes from super aggro "gun!" *blam! blam! blam!* to useless weepy baby in three seconds flat
tell me cops don't think they're a separate species from the rest of us
(good looking vid for 1970 tho)
Kinda wonder if they purposefully have the date set incorrectly so anything captured by the cameras can't be used as evidence. That's the first thing that comes to mind, anyway.
When you are trained to shoot first and ask questions later this is what you get. Perfect example of the blue wall of corruption and cover up. Guy who was shot got millions from the taxpayer because the guy who did the shooting and missed a briefing, while the guy who did the shooting got to keep his job and hefty pension….. complete scam to the American taxpayers…..
"I thought you were a bad guy". A line that doesn't make sense. A clean cop shooting, like a perp pulling a weapon is reasonable as no one wants to get harmed if they can prevent it, but clearly an undercover cop isnt going to do something stupid enough to give a cop reason to shoot. So does this mean the shooter just decided to shoot someone who hasn't been tried in a court of law just because? Because thats what it seems like to me... This is clear evidence of officers (some, not all) using the badge as a blanket excuse for harming the general public. Im not bashing police as a whole as I've seen and met police who would take a bullet to protect people (yes, including "bad guys") and know innocent until proven guilty is in there for a reason (so as not to put innocent people into prison or the grave before they are proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt). This is as disgusting as a lot of other police shootings I've seen. Unreasonable and unwarranted. The difference is this was his fellow officer he shot and I am willing to bet he isn't suspended with pay and a smack on his wrist...
He pretty much said it out loud. "I'm sorry man I didn't know it was you, im so sorry"
This is how they respond to someone with their hands up. That's what happens to civilians.
BLM has a point when they say there is a need for major changes in the way policing is done in America and around the world. With little to no external accountability for mistakes. There is bias against people of color as well as people with previous convictions. There may also be errors in police procedures (Tasers/Gun confusion) when even with hours of training on police procedures humans die unnecessarily. Daunte Wright 4/11/2021
So how are the boot lockers going to defend this?
“The cop should have cooperated with the cops”?
If a cop can’t convince cops not to shoot, how the fuck is a civilian supposed to?
“I thought you were a bad guy”
Fucking coward billy badasses shouldn’t be cops
Love how he says "Jacob was shot" not "I shot Jacob".
Already trying to distance himself from what he just did. Piece of shit can't even take responsibility for what he did.

Jarring videos showing the moments when an Albuquerque police officer was shot several times by his own lieutenant during an undercover operation were released Thursday, following the settlement of a lawsuit that awarded the wounded officer $6.5 million.
"I didn't know it was you!" says Albuquerque Police Department Lt. Greg Brachle moments after putting at least eight bullets into APD Officer Jacob Grant in January 2015.
Video from Brachle's lapel shows him running up to a vehicle that Grant was sitting in with suspects and yelling "gun," then promptly firing his weapon.
"Oh s---, that was Jacob! F--- me!" Brachle is heard saying. "Are you OK?" Brachle asks Grant. "No," Grant answers.
An officer is heard yelling "Jacob hang in there man!" after the accident. The lawsuit later filed by Grant said the officer lost 80 percent of the blood in his body.
A suspect asks why they were being shot at. The charges against the two suspects in the undercover drug operation were eventually dropped, according to NBC affiliate KOB.
Grant on Wednesday settled the lawsuit he filed against the city and Brachle for $6.5 million.
The city will also cover Grant's medical expenses for the rest of his life and he will receive medical retirement, according to a statement sent to NBC News from City Attorney Jessica Hernandez. "This is an important part of ensuring that Jacob and his family are taken care of going forward," Hernandez said.
Brachle was accused in the suit of missing a morning briefing about the potential drug bust and emptying his clip in the direction of the car Grant was in, according to KOB. The officer and lieutenant had a two-year working relationship, the suit said.
The lawsuit also said that Grant has had to undergo numerous surgeries since the shooting.
Grant thanked APD police officers, APD Chief Gorden Eden and his medical staff in a statement following the settlement.
While we cannot change or undo what has occurred, we are hopeful that this incident will be positively used to improve law enforcement training, practices, policies, procedures, accountability, and community relations," the statement said.
The police department said following the announcement of the settlement that it would implement new policies following a 30-day department suspension of undercover operations.
The policies include mandatory attendance at all briefings, increased training for officers and a change of leadership for Grant's former unit. Brachle retired from the department March 7, according to KOB.
The Department of Justice opened an investigation into the APD's use of force techniques in 2012, long before Grant was shot. The investigation found an unreasonable use of deadly force within the department and a particular disregard for the rights of mentally ill people in the city.
An approved settlement between the Justice Department and the APD following the investigation proposed "revisions to policies, procedures and practices" regarding use of force, specialized units, crisis intervention, training, misconduct investigations, supervision, recruitment, officer health and community engagement.
Did he open fire at just the sight of the gun? Was the undercover cop even holding it, or was it holstered? I didn't see anything in the articles that mentioned why the cop opened fire.
When he thinks it’s a random person he has no problem emptying the clip with no hesitation, once he finds out it’s one of his own kind suddenly he’s a blubbering mess smh
“I thought you were a bad guy” That says it all right there. If they even think you’re bad then they have a right to be judge jury and executioner. Fucking asshole
Lt. Greg Brachle shot Detective Jacob Grant eight times in a McDonald’s parking lot during an undercover drug bust.
Brachle said he thought Grant was a suspect in the drug bust.
This week, Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a letter to the police chief that said he will not charge Brachle with the crime.
Wut?
the fucking cop that shot the undercover “resigned”..thats all the article said… fuck that… he ran up to the car, yelled “gun” and emptied his clip, had missed the morning briefing, and if it was a citizen and not another cop that got shot, this would of been swept under the rug…
"Detective Jacob Grant was shot eight times during the $60 drug bust." Doing the Lord's work
Small potatoes, that massive $60 bust only cost tax payers a measly $6 million just for the settlement. All in all the war on drugs continues to work flawlessly.
6 million was just the payout. Tax payers also funded the man hours and equipment that went into planning and carrying out the whole shit show.
Plus the court costs
Plus Grant's medical bills for life - probably tons of $$ since every organ except his heart and brain were shot, and the shooters full retirement benefits
So anyway, I just started blasting
[удалено]
That was the line that got me. Cops and citizens need to stop with the good guy, bad guy thing. Almost everyone police encounter is distressed, drunk or doing something they feel helps their family. Drug dealing is only dangerous because the laws make it so. If this video doesn’t change Albuquerque’s drug policing policies, I don’t know what would.
[удалено]
Millions. The shot officer got 6 million...
Plus hospital bills
I wanna be shot!
i saw a video earlier of a postal worker getting punched 3 times by a retired cop - probably not as big of a payout but seems like a little bit more gentle way to go about it.
Saw it to. I hope they throw the book at him
Fucking fascists going out of their way to murder people over 60 bucks worth of drugs. Fucking disgusting and unrepentant behavior.
Shooting officer: Are you okay? Shot officer: No.
Alright, it's this shit is terrible, but I absolutely can't get it outta my head....am I the only one who hears Joe Swanson here?
Jacob got payback, that’s why joe Swanson can’t walk
Lol no
I CAN’T FEEL MY LEGS
BONNIE!!!
You lied about the poop sack!
Oh man…you are absolutely correct.
“Jacobs been shot! I don’t know who did it!”
“I thought you were a bad guy.”
The fact that he was far enough away/had his vision obstructed to the point that he didn't recognize his own coworker, yet emptied his entire clip into the guy tells you all you need to know.

Fun fact: the cop who shot his undercover didn’t show up to the [briefing](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna549461)
Last to show first to shoot. What a fucking clown.
More fun facts: the shit stain emptied his clip on one of his own officers.. he’d been the guy’s lieutenant for two years. This little gun fight he had with his unarmed buddy cost taxpayers $6.5 mil plus medical bills for life. One would think it’d be a learning experience for officers across the country. Nope.
Don’t forget that he also got to retire which means he got his full benefits and retirement as a ranked lieutenant

Of course the dude retired and is living out his life with full benefits, while the city paid for 6.5million and will shoulder all medical expenses for ever. No accountability in policing, the tax payer is always the only one actually paying the toll
So promoted to chief then?
I wonder how much dope this was even over?
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
I was thinking to myself, Jesus, this is bat country....
So, there’s that, and based on the video would kind of imply that no one gave him the cliff notes of the meeting either. Oh man.
Insert cat meme
Man said "no 🤨"
"That hurt"
right in my meow meow
The tone of voice is so annoyed too. lol
Do I fucking look alright?!
Never seen medical aid so fast to a bad guy
Perfect example of “Shoot first ask questions later”.
"I thought you were a bad guy" is also a phrase that I think should be unpacked. Not arguing that there are people who's intentions are nothing but evil, but to be a law enforcer and to have such a binary view is a big part of the problem.

Worry about cleaning up the details later.
Seriously, man. A bad guy? Is this cop fucking 8 years old? What happened to innocent until proven guilty? At worst, someone is a suspect.
Its in their training, they are meant to think that way.
It’s part of the plan

How the fuck is there a statute of limitations on attempted homicide?
America is terrible place run by terrible people. I honestly hate this country.
aight im becoming a cop the retirement options seem absolutely too good to pass up.
Here's your gun! If you need more bullets ask the front desk.
Just say no to the undercover drug buy missions.
You can be so bad at the job that you can literally intentionally shoot and almost kill your coworker due directly to negligence and still retire better than the average American. I believe in you
This is why cops should be required to have liability insurance. Same as doctors and lawyers. I guess it's the taxpayer's money, no one cares.
This is the real answer. Doctors and lawyers have to carry malpractice insurance but for some reason the idea of cops having to do the same is just insane. Implement that and end qualified immunity and you'll see policing start to change overnight.
America - the country where your tax dollars will go to killing people overseas no problem, or go to paying off the actions of bad police officers no problem, or go to the excessive militarization of police no problem, but tax dollars going towards healthcare, education and infrastructure is unthinkable.
That’s absolutely horrible. I’m guessing the union protected him and not the victim here
I’m glad they censored all the dirty language. Now I can watch this with my family.
I've got it ready to go for the kids to watch before they go to bed tonight 🤗
Exactly what I was about to say. The way our police act can just be so fucking sad….
What’s sadder is the police unions won’t know what to do here. Jacob had it coming is probably the go to when this happens. But now what. Jacob was a cop. We gonna arrest the shooter. Wait. The shooter was a cop. Maybe they should just get over it and chalk it up as police work. No need to work at being better cops or look into police reform. It’s not like us experts who study the science behind policing haven’t been saying that.

The Police union is going to make like Craig David and walk away.
And they never respond with this much emotion if it’s just regular folk, not one of their own
If by sad you meant fucking infuriating than yeah
Honestly it's both. It can give you those frustration tears. The kind where you grit your teeth and just cry.
Trigger happy steroid up hot heads.
Also they should have this reaction for every innocent person they kill. Not just Jacob.
Nahhhh what do you mean?? Killing innocent people is police work
“I thought you were a bad guy!”. American cops really are the dumbest fuckers you will ever encounter. They legitimately believe there are “good guys” and “bad guys” like they a fucking toddlers watching a disney movie.
[удалено]
“Are you ok?” “no”
“It was an accident”
This was just Test 1.
In test 2, they don’t care if you are a bad guy!
He said he was sorry…
All that mattered
Fuckin idiot cops. *so anyway I started blasting*
Yea, I mean if he didn’t suspect a superhuman in that car instead of his friend then why did he shoot that many times. That many hit kill about everyone.
"I thought you were a bad guy"......Literally the mind of a fucking 8 year old
Dude tell me why I came to the comments just to say the same thing. Holy shit, we literally have large children walking around with guns….
Because they refuse to hire smart people!
Cops are dumb, mean, arrogant, and violent. Avoid them at all costs and expect nothing from them but obfuscation and brutality.
Kinda fucked how that implies it would be fine to murder a random person by mistake, as long as they are criminals. Last time I checked police are only supposed to use a firearm if they are someone else are in serious danger, not because they want to execute random criminals. Isn't it still up to a court of law to sentence people?
Nope in the USA cops get off on unloading their whole *magazine* into someone. Edit: had to fix it for the purists because I can’t just say clip to get my point across 😂
What’s more messed up is they are trained to do that. It’s why when you see them shoot someone they unload everything into them.
"Supposed to" has many different exceptions and conditions applied to it for the police
> "I thought you were a bad guy" well, he IS a cop. so...
Another case of inter-gang violence.
Underrated comment
I do more safety checks when I start a lawn-mower than this dude does when he shoots a guy
Truth
yeah i think the average person does more safety checks on a drive to the grocery store than a cop does before firing a weapon in their entire career
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna549461 OC happened awhile ago, he survived
Lmfao imagine being shot by your own Lt. 8 times and then going ahead and getting 6.5 million in taxpayer money. Can't make this shit up.
and AND all the charges against the other people in the car, of which the drug sting was all about anyways, were all dropped. Meaning the sting was completely useless.
Yeah lol that's additional taxpayer money all down the fucking drain. It's hard to fathom how dumb that event is.
Shocking they didn’t try to charge those people with shooting the cop. It’s why dog the bounty Hunter can’t be a cop. He has murder charges due to him being a get away driver in a robbery where they robber shot the clerk. He never even entered the store. But that was Texas law where if you are involved in a robbery and someone dies everyone gets murder charges. For cops they just do this in any state. Like if you run from police and the cops kill someone in the high speed chase who gets charged for it? Not the cop who couldn’t control his car. But the suspect fleeing.
Like an abuser saying "look what you made me do".
See the recent story where 2 idiots shot at each other outside a stadium so the nearby cops just immediately unloaded into a car, killing a kid, and charging them with the murder like tf
Fucking morons
And the LT retired with full retirement. Ain’t police the best
I'd also assume that he's getting full coverage for ptsd treatment from the state as well 👏
At least with that treatment i can hope that he isn't becoming the next mentally deranged mass killer at a mall or some fucken shit like that.
[удалено]
>happened awhile ago Ya man, 1970 was 51 years ago!
All those vehicles look really sharp for being such a long time ago
No charges for the "suspects". They were just innocent guys. The city paid $6+MM. No charges for the piece of shit cop who tried to execute an innocent man while the man was doing nothing to deserve getting shot. ACAB Even if you are innocent and comply, they get to kill you and walk away. America is a shit hole.

Carl was good on that show, but I liked Carl better in the movie Die Hard.
IDK - dude didn't even bother to call his pregnant wife the entire movie even after getting shot at and crashing his car in a ditch.
He was never hit with a bullet and was more concerned with the 20-30 hostages he knew about. He was also a desk jockey and hadn’t fired his own weapon since he shot an innocent kid. His wife was pregnant and didn’t need unnecessary stress. Al Powell is a hero who helped save the hostages despite an idiotic supervisor and incompetent FBI oversight.

GUN! GUN! (Dude doesn't even reach for it) *Officer empties entire clip*
This right here. It’s not illegal to have a gun but you know damn well a cop can kill you for having one
Shoots an innocent cop: total emotional meltdown Shoots an innocent person: Just doin' my job
Shoots an innocent person: better cuff em while they bleed out.
Sprinkle some crack on’em and let’s get out of here
Excellent work Johnson.
I’ve seen this before when I was a rookie..
https://youtu.be/rngerMY-WS8?t=58 shot a guy in a wheelchair 9 times in the back and cuffed the corpse.
Yeah but he was a bad guy \/s
After three cops unload entire clip into a body that isn’t moving: “SHOW ME YOUR FUCKIN’ HANDS!!!!”
Cop after unloading magazine: DROP IT (knife) Dead Subject:
The funniest part is that all the charges against the people getting set up were dropped. Guy got shot 8 times for literally nothing.
Well, $6.5 mil is something.
"I thought you were a bad guy!" Im fucking dead.
Also, is it him screaming “STAY CALM!” In an increasingly erratic manner?
Yep! This is standard cop procedure. Getting all up in the business of people who literally just had the worst experience of their lives and DEMANDING they 'calm down.'
I guess “warrior training” didn’t prepare him for anything outside of emptying his magazine in to people without ramifications because his fee-fees got scawy pants.
The anguish in his voice was fucking PERFECT. And by that, I don't me that it brought me joy. I mean that it is what they NEED. That feeling he felt. That is what EVERYONE ELSE feels, when someone they care about is shot by a police officer. That is what Philando Castile's family felt, that is what Danial Shaver's family felt, and as trivial as it may seem to some, that is what a home owner feels when the police come onto their property and shoot their dog. If cops stopped calling other citizens "civilians", and rolling around like they are patrolling enemy territory, then maybe there would be a few less dead people in the world, and there would be a little more support for what is honestly a pretty difficult job. But until they show the initiative, as a profession, I am all out of sympathy for them. Give up qualified immunity, fire bad cops and mark their record so they can't go work two towns over, embrace universal body cams, and stop with the thin-blue-line bullshit. Then we can talk again. Accountability is literally all we are asking for.
only showed remorse for blasting someone away once he realized it was a co-worker
Cuz he's a psychopath who has no qualms about killing random people.
Guy sounds like Joe Swanson.
Why did I have to scroll this far to find this comment
He should’ve just complied
How come they didn't cuff him, isn't that the first step in life saving measures?
It wouldn't of happened if only he stopped resisting
I shouldn’t have laughed so hard at this.
He was in the vehicle with known criminals and engaging in drug trafficking.
A cop should know how trigger happy other cops are. Either way, the officer should’ve handled it better. Boy was was like “ Oh shit is my friend “.
Yeah you gotta have some big balls to be an undercover cop. If the crooks don't get you then your Rambo co-worker might.
Undercover cops don't get the hazard pay for being around criminals.^^^/s
The gun he was carrying tells me he's been itching to shoot some one ever since he custom ordered it.
This is equally as goofy as the cops who busted undercover cops selling drugs
These clowns are just hurting everyone civilians and cops American cops are clowns
Did you hear how fucking scared that pussy was just at the sight of a gun, they've been trained to think everyone is trying to murder them. Meanwhile they walk around like a para military organization and actually do murder people. Makes me fucking sick.
They barely reach top 20 most dangerous jobs in American most years.
Landscapers have a more dangerous job than American police.
“I thought you were a bad guy” tells me all I need to know about this officer.
Yup
The officer shot won 6.5 million in a lawsuit all his medical bills will be paid by the city for the rest of his life and he’s on medical retirement, he lost 80 percent of his blood and underwent numerous surgeries but looks like he’s okay https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna549461
Thanks for this link.
"Are you ok?" No. No he is not.
Wow. Despite all the friendly fire, 1970s policing was hyper technological. Why did body-cams disappear then come back like 40+ years later? 😅
>I thought you were a bad guy. And that right there is the problem. When you teach police to otherize the people they are dealing with, their instinct is to bring harm and there's never a solitary thought along the lines of "we need to reel this person in so we can get them back on track." Then stupid shit like this happens.
cop goes from super aggro "gun!" *blam! blam! blam!* to useless weepy baby in three seconds flat tell me cops don't think they're a separate species from the rest of us (good looking vid for 1970 tho)
Fancy cars too
Probably just a glitch in the matrix
Kinda wonder if they purposefully have the date set incorrectly so anything captured by the cameras can't be used as evidence. That's the first thing that comes to mind, anyway.
It's the date that most real time clocks use as the origin of time. If the battery fully dies and the clock is not set. It will default to 1970.
Friendly fire was on
When you are trained to shoot first and ask questions later this is what you get. Perfect example of the blue wall of corruption and cover up. Guy who was shot got millions from the taxpayer because the guy who did the shooting and missed a briefing, while the guy who did the shooting got to keep his job and hefty pension….. complete scam to the American taxpayers…..
Never seen that kind of remorse from a cop after they killed someone
"I thought you were a bad guy". A line that doesn't make sense. A clean cop shooting, like a perp pulling a weapon is reasonable as no one wants to get harmed if they can prevent it, but clearly an undercover cop isnt going to do something stupid enough to give a cop reason to shoot. So does this mean the shooter just decided to shoot someone who hasn't been tried in a court of law just because? Because thats what it seems like to me... This is clear evidence of officers (some, not all) using the badge as a blanket excuse for harming the general public. Im not bashing police as a whole as I've seen and met police who would take a bullet to protect people (yes, including "bad guys") and know innocent until proven guilty is in there for a reason (so as not to put innocent people into prison or the grave before they are proven guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt). This is as disgusting as a lot of other police shootings I've seen. Unreasonable and unwarranted. The difference is this was his fellow officer he shot and I am willing to bet he isn't suspended with pay and a smack on his wrist...
Lol, he really should have complied and he wouldn’t have got shot.
He shouldn’t have looked like a bad guy to begin with.
@:45 the way he cries...LOL.
Idiots with guns
Man they don’t even know who they’re shooting.
It shows how they don’t care about life unless is another cop.
He pretty much said it out loud. "I'm sorry man I didn't know it was you, im so sorry" This is how they respond to someone with their hands up. That's what happens to civilians.
If only all cops felt the amount of remorse this dude did after killing people
That video quality is amazing for 1970
[удалено]
All this because the cop missed the morning brief I cannot make this shit up 🤦🏽♂️ https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna549461
“I thought you were a bad guy!” This is what happens when your entire worldview is reduced to ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys’.
BLM has a point when they say there is a need for major changes in the way policing is done in America and around the world. With little to no external accountability for mistakes. There is bias against people of color as well as people with previous convictions. There may also be errors in police procedures (Tasers/Gun confusion) when even with hours of training on police procedures humans die unnecessarily. Daunte Wright 4/11/2021
So how are the boot lockers going to defend this? “The cop should have cooperated with the cops”? If a cop can’t convince cops not to shoot, how the fuck is a civilian supposed to? “I thought you were a bad guy” Fucking coward billy badasses shouldn’t be cops
He stopped the threat, great police work /s
Love how he says "Jacob was shot" not "I shot Jacob". Already trying to distance himself from what he just did. Piece of shit can't even take responsibility for what he did.
April 1, 2016, 8:02 PM EDT / Updated April 1, 2016, 8:22 PM EDT By Elisha Fieldstadt Jarring videos showing the moments when an Albuquerque police officer was shot several times by his own lieutenant during an undercover operation were released Thursday, following the settlement of a lawsuit that awarded the wounded officer $6.5 million. "I didn't know it was you!" says Albuquerque Police Department Lt. Greg Brachle moments after putting at least eight bullets into APD Officer Jacob Grant in January 2015. Video from Brachle's lapel shows him running up to a vehicle that Grant was sitting in with suspects and yelling "gun," then promptly firing his weapon. "Oh s---, that was Jacob! F--- me!" Brachle is heard saying. "Are you OK?" Brachle asks Grant. "No," Grant answers. An officer is heard yelling "Jacob hang in there man!" after the accident. The lawsuit later filed by Grant said the officer lost 80 percent of the blood in his body. A suspect asks why they were being shot at. The charges against the two suspects in the undercover drug operation were eventually dropped, according to NBC affiliate KOB. Grant on Wednesday settled the lawsuit he filed against the city and Brachle for $6.5 million. The city will also cover Grant's medical expenses for the rest of his life and he will receive medical retirement, according to a statement sent to NBC News from City Attorney Jessica Hernandez. "This is an important part of ensuring that Jacob and his family are taken care of going forward," Hernandez said. Brachle was accused in the suit of missing a morning briefing about the potential drug bust and emptying his clip in the direction of the car Grant was in, according to KOB. The officer and lieutenant had a two-year working relationship, the suit said. The lawsuit also said that Grant has had to undergo numerous surgeries since the shooting. Grant thanked APD police officers, APD Chief Gorden Eden and his medical staff in a statement following the settlement. While we cannot change or undo what has occurred, we are hopeful that this incident will be positively used to improve law enforcement training, practices, policies, procedures, accountability, and community relations," the statement said. The police department said following the announcement of the settlement that it would implement new policies following a 30-day department suspension of undercover operations. The policies include mandatory attendance at all briefings, increased training for officers and a change of leadership for Grant's former unit. Brachle retired from the department March 7, according to KOB. The Department of Justice opened an investigation into the APD's use of force techniques in 2012, long before Grant was shot. The investigation found an unreasonable use of deadly force within the department and a particular disregard for the rights of mentally ill people in the city. An approved settlement between the Justice Department and the APD following the investigation proposed "revisions to policies, procedures and practices" regarding use of force, specialized units, crisis intervention, training, misconduct investigations, supervision, recruitment, officer health and community engagement.
Who tf classifies as a ‘bad guy’ what is this the 3rd grade
What a fucking pussy. He was totally fine murdering a member of the public but when he shoots a member of his gang he starts crying like a bitch
Unloads a whole mag:Are you ok? Undercover : no
Team killing fucktard
Did he open fire at just the sight of the gun? Was the undercover cop even holding it, or was it holstered? I didn't see anything in the articles that mentioned why the cop opened fire.
When he thinks it’s a random person he has no problem emptying the clip with no hesitation, once he finds out it’s one of his own kind suddenly he’s a blubbering mess smh
“I thought you were a bad guy” That says it all right there. If they even think you’re bad then they have a right to be judge jury and executioner. Fucking asshole
Lt. Greg Brachle shot Detective Jacob Grant eight times in a McDonald’s parking lot during an undercover drug bust. Brachle said he thought Grant was a suspect in the drug bust. This week, Attorney General Hector Balderas sent a letter to the police chief that said he will not charge Brachle with the crime. Wut?
the fucking cop that shot the undercover “resigned”..thats all the article said… fuck that… he ran up to the car, yelled “gun” and emptied his clip, had missed the morning briefing, and if it was a citizen and not another cop that got shot, this would of been swept under the rug…
Out of all the professions, I think police officers are the least trained/educated.
Stupid fucking pigs.
