Bruv, why would it. It's interesting.

Woah, I'm really glad that officer Salau made a full recovery. It is always a crucial point when a suspect behaves erratically, an in split seconds we have a life threatening situation.

Mike is so fun to watch. He can spin a tale like no other.

Bruh, the editing. I was on the edge of my seat wondering about the officer.

I thought for sure he was dead there on the sidewalk. Then that clip of him in the hospital bed made my head spin - "is this some kind of a bad joke? Showing him when he used to be alive?" Totally befuddled me. And how does a serial killer hit someone with four shots and see them walk away from the scene???"

When you said he really was tiny and it was not ironic, are you talking about his...ya know...prefrontal cortex??

Hi Daniel, just to say that even though the pronunciation might be pretty much the same, the word in this case is "craic" and what he meant was kind of like "just doing it for the fun of it", just a bit of Irish slang. Many uses for the word as well so if you're asked "what's the craic" by an Irish person, don't be alarmed hehe, that just means "what's up" or "any plans? etc, etc. Now there's a chance you already know this and if so, please know that my comment was meant just as a bit of trivia (feel like I should defend myself before the KZread mob comes for me 😜). All the best

That's just not the style of That Chapter.

People have tiny attention spans these days. People already rush to the comments section 5 mins into these videos. He'd lose a massive chunk of his audience with 2 hour videos.

James was my friend. I'm not sure what happened with him and the times we hung out i never suspected him to be the person in the wanted photo that was around town. SMH SIgh. Sad for the families and sad for whatever was going on in my guys head. God bless this world and i pray we can all get it right as humans.

It’s not like a fucking paintball dude. I feel like you’ve only seen it in movies or with single low cal shots. People who get shot in the vest with a common handgun break their ribs and suffer internal bleeding _at best._ Arterial tearing and organ/lung bone penetration at worst.

Honestly, so happy he survived. When I saw his picture on the video before everything happened, it kinda seemed like those pictures you would see from somebody who died. After that dark screen with the music fading out, I smiled when I saw that video of him recovering.

"Fkin bears, man" cracked me up 🐻

Just because it needs to be said, he wasn't ambushed. An ambush is literally a trap intended for someone by someone lying in wait in concealment. "a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a concealed position"

Wow that cop is a hero. Love to see he’s okay.

Well, if it was me as a police officer patrolling the early morning hours. i'd have my pistol out of its holster and lying within very easy reach. After the second PA order for the pedestrian to stop, and he didnt...i'd have my pistol in hand at the ready. (it would make common sense, given the current situation that a probable serial killer who kills in the early morning hours is still at-large). Once he turned around and didnt stop, i'd already have my pistol trained on him. Not a guarantee that i'd totally win the gunfight, but it would be an extra advantage in my favor as I would most probably get the first shots out as he pulls out his gun/ revolver to engage me. Other advantages include Im wearing a kevalar vest and have a bit of cover via the auto. unless he gets a lucky shot (or if he is a crack shot) to the head, im in a much more advantageous situation. The police chief is not totally accurate in his use of the word "ambushed", he was semi-ambushed. Ambushed is being totally surprised by an attacker that "comes out of hiding" to do you/ others harm. This obviously isnt the case.

@sweeneytodd011

@@Gizziiusa I'd agree with this, i thought myself after he didn't stop or acknowledge the cop car in any way I'd have been ready for trouble here and I'd have prepared myself like the post above says, my instinct would have been waving flags and ringing bells on that guy walking. Also yes it's not really an ambush, a surprise maybe but i think it's clear there was going to be a problem with this guy after the first time the cop told him to stop and he didn't even acknowledge, you should know there's a problem here, definitely there's something wrong so be careful is what my instinct would be telling me. Glad the cop survived though, took four bullets but still returned fire, fair play to him for that.
