Dramatic body camera footage shows the moment a police officer begs for her life after a deranged, half-naked suspect stole her gun moments before a fatal shooting in California.

In the disturbing video, the unidentified officer is heard pleading, “Please don’t shoot me!” following the confrontation with 26-year-old Osean McClintock in Fountain Valley, Orange County.

See, this is a great example of why I'm against female street level police officers....jail and prison guards as well for that matter.

I agree. She is not only not helpful, she is a burden on the male officer who must now take care of her as well as himself.

There was a video posted here a while back of four - count them, FOUR female officers confronting a male for I think a shoplifting crime. Four mostly overweight women surrounding this guy, talking to him. Not citing him, not cuffing him, not anything. Surrounding him. They were the poster gals for ineffective law "enforcement." And yes, I believe he eventually got away.

The fact that she had her gun taken from her in that manner makes a solid case that she is in the wrong line of work.
Her inability to do her job put everyone within gunshot range at mortality risk.

DEI almost became DIE, again.

Females make even schiddier Feral “judges”. Not matter what, they always think like females. No brain, all heart. Killers love them.

[Midwesterner53]

This woman had a man rescue her. Happens all the time in cop work. Check the videos where women cops argue and plead with criminals to do what she is asking until a male cop or civilian arrives and takes action to force the bad guy into submission.

Well female prison guards have been screwing male prisoners and having babies with them.
Happened in New York with that cop killer, in Pennsylvania with that gang leader who managed to get to the tune of three female prison guards pregnant at the same time in the same prison Plus that female prison guard in upstate New York who not only banged the male prisoners, who was having threesomes with 2 male prisoners at the same time!.
Why complain about getting jailed if you can get all that free sex?

“not” = NO

> … the female officer, who had hidden behind an adjacent van. <

In the old days cops used to carry a back up gun, often a revolver in an ankle holster. That gun was sometimes registered, sometimes not.

I wonder if that female cop had a back up gun. If not, why not?

[nitzy]

I don’t understand how this could happen.

All of the movies I see have 110 lb women beating up multiple musclebound 220 lb men at the same time. Why couldn’t this female cop handle just this one guy?

I’m beginning to feel that I have been lied to.

Something similar happened where I am a couple of years ago.
A female cop responded to a shoplifter at a Walmart, after confronting him outside the store he commensed to beating her unmercifully.....so bad she had to be hospitalized.

Only thing that saved her was a male plain clothed detective arriving for backup.

There needs to be a massive upgrade in technology for police officers.
Maybe Musk should be looking at it.
Police guns should not fire for example if its not fired by the cops who owns it.
That should not be too hard to do even with current technology.

Was he originally stopped for not wearing a shirt?

When she was struggling over the gun she demonstrated the total lack of basic hand to hand combat training.

When female patrol officers started to be hired in large numbers, the theory was this: Physical strength is no longer necessary for the job. And that’s because of the many tools police officers have now. Pepper spray, the taser, etc.

So, yeah. As you noted, we’ve been lied to.

[SmokingJoe]

Reminds me of them fat US Secret Service agents at Butler when President Trump was shot.
One female agent couldn't even re holster her gun.

[Midwesterner53]

Completely normal.

[Midwesterner53]

Completely normal.
