A San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy was injured in a fight for her gun, and her life today.
The injuries to the female deputy were not considered life-threatening, and the man who attacked her was expected to recover from his gunshot wounds, according to the Sheriff’s Department.
That confrontation began just after 8:30 a.m. in the 13000 block of Cabazon Court with a 911 call from a woman yelling “Oh my God, oh my God, send the police, I need my son removed from my home,” a sheriff’s news release said. The first deputy to arrive, Meagan Forsberg, contacted that man, identified by authorities as 21-year-old Ari Young, outside the home.
What the Sheriff’s Department said happened next was captured in a video that showed Forsberg fighting for her life. It opens with the suspect repeatedly punching Forsberg in the head and face, and Forsberg attempting to ward him off. Forsberg falls on her back, her right armed raised with her gun in hand. A shot goes off as an unknown woman screams and a woman in a pink outfit walks by.
The suspect then holds down Forsberg’s arm with both hands. Another shot is fired, and the suspect takes the gun away. Forsberg gets up and quickly moves out of camera view to the right. The suspect stands up, extends his right arm and fires in the direction in which Forsberg fled. Young fired several shots at her, the release said.
The suspect then walks to his right, and as three sheriff’s SUVs roll up with sirens screaming, he puts his hands up with the deputy’s gun still in his right hand, pointing up. After that, his actions are obscured by the trees between the suspect and the person taping the video. The suspect ignored commands to drop the gun, the release said. About a dozen shots then ring out, according to the video, with the suspect falling after about the eighth round.
Was that caught on video? Just saying.
Thanks, I understood this before posting.
No doubt.
See post #4, and disregard the condescending posts.
WHY? NOBODY ELSE DOES!...................

oops, post #9.
Excellent!
That’s pretty sad, when you are deathly afraid of what your own adult child might do, and it’s barely 8;30 in the morning.
I suspect it may be mental illness and/or dope.
Some people don’t know how good they have it, till all is ripped away. He comes from a nice neighborhood like this one, and he’s an uncontrollable threat?
I have a close relative who had to shut her adult child out of her life and out of her house forever, because her son had become a threat who tried to attack her during the night. He went to prison for petty theft but has since been released. A long time ago. The rest of the family finally convinced her to stop sending money to him when he could get SSI.
We have lost track of this fellow. No word for the last 10 years.
Saw another one from a guy with a knife who clearly wanted suicide by cop, but even after firing 7 rounds at the guy and hitting him at least once, he got up and went after another cop’s gun before they killed him. First cop had a clear shot but didn’t take it despite having fired 7 times at the guy and not stopping him.
Do they use full metal jacket rather than the hydro-shock rounds?
There is usually no through-and-through with those, and when all the energy of the round is transferred as shock to the perp....
I don’t have all the facts so any thoughts will be based upon not knowing enough info to make an informed opinion.
I did see later that she was trying to arrest someone on a DV disturbance call. Witness said on camera she was trying to pull his hands behind his back to handcuff but he resisted and she was not able to pull an arm behind him.
That witness also said “she was lucky. She was lucky today.”
I would agree......I was waiting to see the execution shot which thankfully never happened.
I will list possible factors.
Arresting someone by yourself.
New CA deadly force law for cops is. Most restrictive in nation.
Training issues regarding self defense tactics, weapon retention/holstering under stress.
Regardless of gender, a single officer vs single offender is always more dangerous when it comes to handcuffing.
Size (differential between officer and offender) does matter. The offender’s mindset + mental state + perceived physical power advantage or disadvantage =......they always size you up even the one’s not willing to commit violence.
Just some thoughts.....
Yeah that’s the easy cheap shot to take because no male police officer has ever been overpowered by a perp.
so a little man couldn’t be a cop?...a weak man?...so no ethnic Vietnamese or Hmong or most asians?.....
Beating that cop/woman like a dirty rug.
Yep. As he was beating her she was yelling “I’m going to shoot you!”. Yeah, no.
LOL - forgot about that scene!
correct ...
Little guys are not good choices for cops. It is a job that sometimes requires some muscle. Life isn’t a movie. Most women and a lot of men should not qualify.
I’m a guy in my 60s. Optimum weight is around 145. I would not be a good pick for a cop. Or firefighter.
Yes, weak men should not be beat-cops either, nor firemen, nor soldiers, nor any other job where lack of physical strength or aggressiveness can cost an innocent person his life.
124 grain hydroshocks, outstanding. Standard 115 grain ball, not so much. Also, police are, generally speaking, highly incompetent with regards to marksmanship. Numerous stories abound of hundreds of discharged rounds to one or two hits on a perp.
Just look at FBI ballistics tests. There’s a reason they don’t use the obsolescent .45 acp.
