>> Welcome back to the channel, everyone.
We're just two cops breaking down your
favorite body cams. Kyle, what do we
have now?
>> This video is coming from Midwest Safety
and it's called SWAT team plays Rainbow
Six Siege in real life. We haven't seen
it. Let's watch it.
>> On August 1st, 2024, Columbus police in
Ohio responded to a disturbance at a
home involving 40-year-old Benjamin
Wheeler. According to the caller,
Wheeler was irate and threatening family
members. When officers first made
contact, Wheeler briefly stepped into
the doorway shirtless and made a series
of erratic statements, at one point
stating, "Marshall law has been
declared." After several minutes of
conversation, he told officers he had
weapons in his room, saying, "I'm armed.
I will defend myself." Moments later,
Wheeler retreated back inside and
stopped responding. With an active
felony warrant to serve and growing
concerns about a gunman now barricaded
inside his home, the department
requested its SWAT team, who arrived
with a heavily armored military-grade
vehicle known as the BearCat, built to
withstand gunfire from rifle rounds and
breach fortified structures. Its arrival
marked a turning point in the standoff,
and this was only the beginning.
>> All right.
>> Okay, 60 copy.
And I'm a tape.
>> Window left the door he was last seen.
>> That's a small little house.
>> BearCat two and some more personnel
before we start announcements.
>> Good.
>> Yep.
>> Moving.
>> Thank you, sir.
>> Yep, it's on the left.
>> Thank you.
>> You guys got an AR gun spun up?
>> Yeah.
>> All right.
>> Benjamin
or anyone else inside of 818 Terry
Berry, please come to the front door
with nothing in your hands so we can
speak with you.
>> I have a taser.
>> Taser.
>> I don't
Have you guys had contact with him at
all?
>> Yeah, nothing.
>> Didn't think he's going to be on Midwest
safety.
>> No.
>> the door.
>> We've seen nothing through nothing.
>> Do we know Do we know if he has a phone
so we can get that over with quickly and
then we can just go ahead and go to
Armageddon?
>> Let me send you guys up.
>> Yep.
Stay right here.
>> Yeah.
>> You can look in that window, too, if you
see him.
>> I need you to come to this window in the
front.
>> The one you were at earlier. Just open
it.
You talked to us or come to the front
door with nothing in your hands. We want
to explain everything that's going on
here.
That's very helpful to you.
You have a warrant for your arrest.
You cannot leave until your statement is
taken into custody.
>> If we have to make entry, I'll have you
go straight. I'll have you turn. You'll
turn here so you're not exposed and then
I'll I'll go You block here and I'll go
along.
>> I'm
You got something to say already?
>> No, I just don't know why they're
talking about them making entry, but go
ahead.
>> Yeah, it is pretty early and I think
it's interesting the way they set their
Bearcats up because they mentioned
earlier, which the whole point of the
Bearcat is to provide as much cover for
the officers as you possibly can, but in
these situations both of them are
pointed directly at the house, which
only leaves the back of the Bearcat for
the cover for the officers. And if you
see, the negotiator shows up and then he
has to go to the other Bearcat. There's
quite a distance between and they're
just kind of people casually walking
through and and even a canine's kind of
out in the middle. I'd like to see the
Bearcats positioned at least sideways,
but the first Bearcat makes sense
because you have that big ram on the
front positioned to at the door should
they need to push and open that, they
can actually do that. But, positioning
them directly straight on, you're
getting minimal coverage for the
officers in the back.
>> We're out here and we're very worried
about you.
>> They're going to be pissed when we blow
the windows out.
>> Benjamin, I'm Adams with your mom and
dad, and your mom says you need to get
back and we get some medicine, but she
can't do that till you come out.
>> Contact?
>> Contact.
>> Yeah, right here, this window.
>> All right. So, we're just going to
change the plans.
When we go up, we'll go up Two of us
will go up this uh side of the Bearcat.
You go up here and bunker this window. I
need to go up and get that window.
>> a long gun over there.
>> Moving.
>> So, I mean, he says he's armed and he's
willing to shoot it out with them. I
don't
know why we we'd want to approach him on
that.
Not sure what they're doing.
>> Locked.
>> What was that?
>> That was just me. It's locked. They were
just checking to see if it was open.
>> I don't know what's the point of
checking to see if it's open. You just
blow the door off the hinges.
>> I guess we could have left the the
screen
>> Yeah, that's a a really good point. You
you have somebody that's inside that
says that they're armed. You need to
take the situation like they are. You
have two Bearcats out there, an entire
SWAT team with a canine and a
negotiator.
You have the ability to move that
Bearcat up or use that push bumper if
they want to actually force the door
open. I'm not actually sure why you
would go up to test to see if a door is
open because at this point, if you're
opening the door, you're already making
an entry into the home. So,
>> You're exposing yourselves, for sure.
>> Yeah, all or nothing, and that that's
pretty sketchy.
>> We're open for him
to breach it.
Man, I missed that thing by
>> You like to put a piece of paper there.
Benjamin,
I gave you a little break, but it's time
for you to come out now.
>> Breach it.
Throw everything in. So, make no
announcements when I go up when we go up
and throw stuff in.
>> No.
>> Okay, good. We'll have Once we get back,
we'll have her make the announcements.
Hey, we put a put a throw phone in.
>> On my phone.
>> I'm moving.
>> Breaching. Breaching.
>> Hey, let me see your hands.
Leave it there.
Come out.
Come out.
>> He's trying to close the door again. I'm
leaving the ram in there.
>> Benjamin, come on out here.
>> I'm moving. Moving.
>> Benjamin, come on.
Benjamin.
>> Hey, that's perfect.
>> Larry, you want to get some
announcements in?
>> Announcements?
>> Yeah, I mean, you can turn the wheel and
you can back up with that and rip the
door off completely.
>> Anybody see that spotlight?
>> that spotlight. He just went to the
left, Rob.
>> Which way did he go?
>> Spotlight. Where you at, Rob?
>> I got it.
>> Got him.
>> No one's here to hurt you.
That's not going to work.
Bang.
Bang. Bang. Show us your hands and we'll
walk out, buddy.
>> He is trying to push furniture.
>> Bang.
>> He's trying the front door. We've got
visual.
>> Slow it down, bud.
>> He's trying to open the ball cap.
>> Open the front door, bud.
Come on, little buddy.
Come on.
Come on in.
>> Oh, he's got a gun. He's got a gun.
Back up. Back up.
Where's he at? Where's he at?
>> Go lower. Go lower. Go lower.
Go lower.
>> He's got a knife.
What was that? What was that?
What was that?
>> All right.
>> Back up. BACK UP.
>> BACK UP. BACK UP. BACK UP.
>> BACK UP.
>> COME BACK.
>> SHOOT THAT ONE.
>> HE'S GOT A THROWING KNIFE.
>> He's in the kitchen
>> Deep in the kitchen.
Coming to the front door with a knife.
Come
>> So, I'm not going to go long-winded on
this. It just It It doesn't make a lot
of sense to move an entire team up to
that front doorway. You have a super
small structure, multiple windows, you
had a gaggle of SWAT guys up there.
You're just exposing yourselves. One guy
said he was armed.
That you're just putting the team in a
dangerous spot.
We would
deploy gas in that residence to force
him to come out. There's just a lot of
other options that you would use rather
than pushing a team into that structure
without utilizing some other type of
technique to force that person out. So,
let's keep watching and see how it goes,
but they've now approached twice and
have had to back out.
>> And that officer was actually injured.
>> Drop the knife.
>> Drop the knife. Drop the knife, Ben.
Ben.
>> Wow, I cracked the windshield. That
[laughter] cracked the Stop a bullet and
cracked a windshield. That's crazy.
>> Ben, stop throwing things, Benjamin.
Benjamin.
>> Or deploy the K9. Like when he exposes
himself out of the threshold of the
doorway, they could deploy a dog at that
point.
>> Benjamin.
>> We're hitting knockers in that window.
>> Benjamin, how about gas?
>> Knockers. Let's knock at the
>> Benjamin, please come out.
>> Let's knock at the windows.
>> Or 40 mm.
>> Benjamin, please come out. Do it now.
>> What I don't like about this though is
those Bearcats are so close to the house
and that one is moved up and they're
they haven't tried to rip the door off.
So, you have very little distance
between the suspect and where the
officers are. You don't have a lot of
ability to actually control that suspect
if he comes out and he can make quick
movement to them, which is probably
going to force a shooting. I'd like to
see those Bearcats move back, rip the
door off by turning the wheel and
yanking that thing forward, rip the door
out, have it open, give yourself some
space, and you have a little bit of
time. You have an entire SWAT team out
there.
See where it goes.
Okay, so they are deploying gas.
>> knife in his hand. He's standing deep in
the
>> Already shattered through that window.
>> Ben, drop the knife.
Benjamin,
please come
>> Let's go this side.
>> Oh my god, how are we supposed to get up
there, Ben? Well,
>> Let's go on the inside here.
Inside, inside, inside, inside door.
>> Inside.
>> Watch that taser.
>> We're good. We're good. We're good.
We're good.
>> Ben,
get down.
>> All right, go lower. Go lower.
All right, you're good.
>> You need to walk out of the house
slowly. No one's here to hurt you.
>> Three three side knockers, knockers,
knockers.
>> Ben, right now he's probably so
paranoid.
>> Mhm.
>> I can't believe he broke the windshield
with a knife.
>> With a knife.
>> We can't either.
>> Did you see it, Sean?
>> Yeah.
>> But you can feel it's that second layer,
but
>> that happen, though.
>> It turned
>> It's supposed to take 50 cal rounds.
>> You throw knockers on those windows,
we'll go up and throw a tri-chamber.
>> So those are knockers, I guess, not not
glass.
>> Let's do it. Let's do it right there.
>> All right, we'll check these and just go
back here.
>> You guys ready?
>> Man, they're pushing again. I just
>> One more, one more, one more, one more,
one more.
>> What are we doing?
>> I don't know.
>> Move. Move.
>> [music]
>> So if you're going to deploy gas into a
house, you start at the top down back to
the front and you drive them out towards
you. Here they're throwing it in the
front door. We don't know what the
inside of the house looks like. You
could potentially be deploying gas in
the front and driving him further away
from you. I I I'm confused on the
tactics that these officers are using
right here.
>> Yeah, and real quick, like just for the
general public, every time you're
escalating your use of force, you're
you're doing just that. So, you know,
you try negotiations and then you break
some windows out and then it may get to
a point where that now where it's like
time to deploy gas, but each one of
those things is a different level of use
of force.
Um and if you are going to deploy gas,
you have to you should have your gas
mask donned before you're doing it.
These guys are It looked like they were
throwing CS or gas into the house by
hand, and then now they're saying put
your mask on. So,
a little bit backwards. Um not sure
yeah, like you said the the tactics on
this, but we're not there, so let's just
keep watching and and see how this goes.
But, um
yeah, a lot of uh questions.
>> [laughter]
>> Gas mask
was all the way back
to mask up.
>> Gas deployed. Gas deployed.
>> So, yeah, you would want to be already
masked up. Oh, yeah.
>> What if it was California guys now?
>> Uh yeah, just
>> I'm going to predict that they're going
to go in.
>> Are they ready if he comes out?
>> I don't think so. They're all over the
place.
Dog's ready.
>> And by breaking those windows, out there
ventilating the house for the gas to
exit. So, I mean that's also kind of
cowardly, too.
>> some more now to encourage the
surrender.
>> The dog's I got four minutes down here
and we need some fresh air.
Hold the water. I need you to the front
door.
>> I can see what they're throwing.
>> Well, as soon as you said lower, I
lowered and that's when it came across.
>> Yeah.
>> I got Someone yelled gun.
>> Just so much exposure of these officers
cuz the BearCat positioning.
>> Oh, it looked like a gun, yes. I got I
got it.
>> Okay, so you have an officer that's
saying he saw what he thought was a gun.
The officer
communicated that he saw a gun.
These officers are so close to that
house and the positioning the BearCats,
they're all doing something. It's just
It's just hard to watch.
>> Can we get a taser on him, Rob?
>> Let's gas him again. We're already
having trouble. Let's put two more in
there.
>> Yeah, do.
>> Sunset now.
>> Oh, can you get in there?
It's 45 minutes from the last cord.
>> I'm going to go over your thing. Oh,
that's a great toss.
>> Two.
>> Oh, he threw it back out. He threw it
back out. He is hunkered down in the
kitchen on the kitchen floor.
>> But he threw it out.
>> maybe it's time to administer some hot
gas and see how he likes that. Yeah.
>> Gas gun. Gas gun. Turn this off.
>> This is a good deployment, but not in
the front door.
Do that in the room to drive him out.
>> Hold on.
I'll throw another one. I just got to
get my mask on now.
>> 42 to sniper, you're going to have a
some personnel crossing over for a
minute. Stand by on the long gun.
>> Hey Rob.
How How deep is he when he's starting
that back?
>> He's all the way in the back.
>> Yeah, he's by the
>> He's laying in the He's laying in the
kitchen by the stove.
>> He may have been in the kitchen at one
point, but he They have to take into
consideration, too, like people do move,
bounce around, right? Points of the
room, points of the room. So, he may not
be in the kitchen anymore when they now
make their what? Tactical approach?
So, I I wouldn't
take that with a grain of salt.
Could be anywhere.
>> They're waiting for him to come out.
That's a
Hey, get ready. He's probably going to
come out on that one.
>> Benjamin, we're still here. We've asked
you to come out peacefully.
I'm going to ask again.
Step out of that door with nothing in
your hand. Any way this ends is with you
in custody.
>> He just threw something.
>> Put it down with the knocker gun.
>> Right here.
Go through the back door outside.
Go go go there.
All right, come over here.
There you go. You got a better angle?
Down on your knees.
>> Let me out.
>> You need to exit the house.
>> yelled that he's not coming out.
>> Come to the door with nothing in your
hand. You cannot continue to throw stuff
at us.
>> Get a rooker and flip
>> that off. Oh, yeah, that thing is tiny.
>> Hey, when this when this gas clears out,
I can clear that out that door and that
with the ram. Huh? As long as he doesn't
throw another Yankee candle at you.
>> The gas is not driving anymore. We're
going to have to go in and get him.
>> Yes, so let's get a plan together and
then we'll go.
>> Let's rip that door off. Give it a
couple minutes to clear up a little bit,
we go in.
>> We're going to go bunker bunker bunker.
>> He can close with a knife.
>> And then somebody's got to be on the
taser unless you're going to shoot him.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean, I have seen people withstand a
lot of gas.
>> I'm just saying.
>> Yeah, this guy is determined.
>> If we got distance and
>> We got
>> Can't go in there with that mindset
though. Let him know what we're doing so
there's no miscommunication.
>> got to change our tactics up a little
bit without having to go in.
>> On your call, we're going to we're going
to go in and get it.
>> After more than 2 hours of negotiation
attempts and with the gas finally
clearing, officers knew the standoff
couldn't drag on much longer. Wheeler
had piled debris behind the open front
door, blocking any direct entry, and
SWAT needed a clear path inside before
committing to a final push. With
visibility returning, they began
preparing the tools and tactics they
hoped would finally bring this standoff
to [music] an end.
>> Worst case scenario, I'm going to I'm
going to just clear out some of the
stuff he's trying to
>> Use that
to drag stuff out and push it around.
>> Prepare for entry in the drone.
>> Okay, then if he comes out onto this
porch, we're just going to let him stay
out there and then entry can move up to
the door and then we can deal with him
just in this porch, so.
>> That door is backed up.
>> Coming back.
I'm working on the door for you.
>> All right, we can keep him moving back
here on the kitchen in the kitchen
maybe, moving towards the uh porch side.
>> Maybe.
>> Bring the ram to the
I got it. It's off the hinges.
>> It's off the
>> I seen the middle hinge come off. I can
see the
>> That might be about as clear as I can
get.
>> I can see through the stove.
>> Just get me that chair.
>> Yep.
Can you lift that or not? Or is that
going to fall?
>> I mean, that's a small house, man. I I
if I had to
rip those front wall panels off that
thing, then I'm not going to go in there
with a dude that's already armed and
said he's going to shoot it out with me.
>> Please, you need to tell him now that he
needs to surrender. Anything that
happens from this point on is going to
be of his doing.
>> Benjamin, this is Columbus Police. We're
outside of 818. We do have a warrant for
your arrest.
>> Yeah, we're waiting for you to end this
coming out peacefully and we will serve
the warrant.
>> Yeah, Bearcat 140, we had no reaction
from the one side when I was moving his
furniture around.
Okay, we thought we saw some shadows
moving back in the kitchen. Do you have
eyes on that?
>> I'm not sure.
>> All right, so he's still active. They've
made announcements, they've tried to
breach the door, they've made movements
up to the front door multiple times.
He's thrown stuff out and officer was
actually cut with a knife. They've
deployed gas, what they called a
shitload of gas, and he's still not
coming out. This person is determined,
like you said, it's not a very big
house, but you need to change your
tactics and start reevaluating exactly
what you're doing. It's possible that
the person could be under the influence
of something or incredibly high. So,
time is on your side at this point. You
let them calm down a little bit and
start to reassess what you actually
have. I don't like the fact that they're
planning on making entry. Send a drone
in see and try to evaluate everything,
but I would not be making entry on that
when you have an officer that's seen a
gun.
>> They may they probably don't have a
drone, I would imagine. Um otherwise, I
think we would have seen one, but
there's no rush in this situation right
now. So, again, let's just see what
happens. Uh see if they can get Ben out
of the house peacefully.
>> And I straight back into the kitchen,
but then the living room wall jets out a
mountain 4 ft. So, it obstructs my view
over to where you guys can see that
porch.
>> Speaking of the devil.
>> I got a drone.
>> Well, why wasn't that there a lot
sooner? [laughter]
>> All right, bro bro. Go get some.
>> Front door?
>> Front door.
>> He's going to be ready to jump at that
kitchen and start swinging at it.
>> Well, we we have we have a second one
coming. So, if he knocks it down,
>> Second one's right behind
>> Yep.
>> You mean outside agency?
>> Yeah, I mean still should have been
there a long time ago.
>> Those drone guys
>> I love that.
>> Yeah, yeah.
That's why I said get some.
>> Where do you think he's going? He's
probably your left. Right there in that
kitchen area right there.
Oh, there's a lot of sh- our way getting
to the kitchen, guys.
>> Okay, he's down to the bedrooms to the
left.
>> Okay, he's in the kitchen. There he is.
There
There he is.
>> Kitchen.
>> Barricaded or what?
>> No, he's just in the kitchen.
>> Nope. Nope. Don't pin him in the
kitchen.
>> He just hit it.
>> He hit it.
>> He's in the kitchen.
>> All right, barricade him with a That's
what we can tell. He's in that 3/4
kitchen laying on the floor.
I believe he took the drone out with
him.
>> There he goes. He just went to the left.
To the two side. He went to the two.
>> Okay, he's moving.
>> Here he comes with the chair.
>> to barricade. He's throwing more
furniture in front of the kitchen
entrance. He's floor.
Yeah, and right in the
>> So, you know he's at the back of the
house. So, maybe target the back of the
residence with the with the other
Bearcat. It looks like there was room to
come around, but you need to start
forcing that guy out that front.
>> Yeah.
>> It's a good view.
And again.
>> He's going to go to the
>> It's not bad. You can navigate that. It
sucks, but you can navigate that.
>> Let's go.
>> You didn't see him?
>> I thought there was a sniper. We got to
come over to this
side to make entry.
All right, he's throwing stuff at the
drone back in that
towards the kitchen there.
>> Let's go.
Let's go.
>> Freeze.
>> Real quick, like
number one, that's a lot of personnel to
be going into that small structure. I
think they should have hand selected a
smaller team to make entry, but number
two, you have a canine there on scene.
At least they did. If I'm going to make
entry into that, you know he doesn't at
least have a gun or knife in his hand at
that current moment. Send the dog in
there first to apprehend that guy. Like
you shouldn't be It's, you know, pause
before boots. You shouldn't be going in
there as a team if you are going to make
entry without sending the canine in
first. So,
>> And you can hear them saying go go go
go, which what that does to other
officers in front is it stresses you
out, it makes you move quicker, not a
controlled pace. I've never liked when
they say go go go.
Take it slow.
>> Let's see what happens. It's come down
to this now.
>> [music]
>> Freeze.
>> He's committed at this point.
He's in the fourth gear.
I just hope he's not around that corner
with a gun just ready to ambush him cuz
he can't see.
This is
Oh, like he just took the gun out.
He's calling the police now.
Oh [ __ ] he's ripping the shirt off him.
[ __ ] my life.
Oh [ __ ]
He just said
Yeah, what did you expect? I mean, of
course I was going to.
Now he's committed. They've got to get
him.
No.
No.
See the go go go, the rushing,
the panic, the loss of control.
Oh [ __ ] he retreated down into the
basement.
>> [ __ ] [ __ ] I NEED MY [ __ ] here.
[ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]
I GOT STABBED in my leg.
>> Okay, so now you have the suspect
retreated further down. Everybody is
saying go go go. They're moving super
quick. They're trying to get up on him.
Now you have an officer that's injured.
Now you have two situations. Someone has
to get that officer out unless he can
self evac, but there's so much stuff in
there. You have two situations going on
here now.
>> Yeah, you saw this coming.
>> He is hit. He is hit.
He is down.
Up. Yeah.
Benjamin, we cannot help you. Got to let
the police know.
Five chamber.
>> Everything is just so fast-paced right
now.
>> No, he's in the basement.
>> Which leg?
>> Is he stabbed?
>> Yeah.
>> Lower left leg
>> He's bleeding out.
>> Oh, no.
>> He's all right.
>> Benjamin, can you hear me?
>> Oh, [ __ ]
>> He's bleeding out a lot.
>> I know that for a fact.
>> Benjamin.
>> He's lost a lot of blood so far. Oh, no.
>> He's lost a lot of blood.
>> Um
I'm going to call for a voice.
>> He's bleeding out.
>> Benjamin.
>> Is he in the drone down there?
>> If you are injured, I need you to come
to me.
>> No, I I I thought he
>> The other two did not.
>> No, they were too busy getting stabbed.
>> I mean,
do you think he hit him?
>> 100% he said there's massive blood loss
in him.
>> He had He did have a shotgun.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> I thought it
I don't know. All I could see
was his face and some shoulder cuz he
was like stabbing from behind the
corner.
>> Yeah.
>> So, I don't know. He probably hit like
in the shoulder.
>> Keep the air clear.
>> Ready?
>> Don't move. Don't move.
Benjamin.
>> He is down.
He is He is down. He's down short.
>> Okay, so they can see him.
>> I'm I'm I'm going to cover the bunker. I
got him. He's down. Where's his hands?
His hands are right there.
>> Okay.
>> Watch his hands.
>> All right.
>> Cut.
>> Bring a medical. Get him back in here.
>> Cut.
>> Five down. We sent a medical again.
>> Hey.
Let's go. Hey.
Don't move that knife, Troy.
Don't let him move that knife out of the
way. It was right beside his body. Did
you take a picture of that?
>> Yeah. Don't don't move it yet.
>> Hey.
Listen.
We have shell casings on
the stairs.
Do not disturb them.
>> The suspect, Benjamin Wheeler, was
pronounced dead at the scene. The
standoff ultimately lasted more than 6
hours [music] and involved multiple
attempts to make contact, deploy gas,
and safely clear the home. But, it ended
in a violent struggle as officers
attempted to take him into custody.
Multiple SWAT officers were stabbed
during the confrontation, but all
survived [music] their injuries.
Ultimately, the standoff ended with
Wheeler's death, bringing the case to
its final conclusion.
>> So, here here's my opinions on that
whole thing. 6 hours on a SWAT callout
like that with a determined barricade
subject is not a long time to to make
entry like that. I mean, we've been on
15 16-hour, you know, long standoffs.
And and there's a lot of people out
there that will probably leave in the
comments, you know, that us California
boys take forever to
to make entry into a house, but you
know, the reality is is we want to
preserve life, right? Not only ours, but
the suspects as well. And and
unfortunately, in this case, I felt it
was rushed. Um
the tactics on this
there could have been different tactics
used to try to drive him out of the
house.
But, ultimately, multiple cops ended up
getting stabbed. And and really in the
totality of everything, like how did you
not see that coming? So, that's kind of
my thought on it.
I feel like things could have been done
a little bit different and maybe slowed
it down a little bit.
>> Yeah, definitely agree with that. And
the difference in SWAT teams, there's
plenty of differences. Full-time teams
get a lot of practice. You have reps
with people. You have peer discipline.
You understand exactly what people's
responsibilities are, their specialties
in specific areas. Then, you have
ancillary SWAT teams, which I I presume
is this, where these officers have
different responsibilities in in a
department. They may be a detective or
working patrol. An incident happens,
they all collectively come together. And
generally, they only train maybe once a
month and they may be shooting that
month or the next month, they may
working on entry. That's why you see a
lot of different people doing a lot of
different talking because they're
probably
uh leaders in their own areas and then
they come together and they're all
trying to lead. This is where
discipline, slowing down, and
understanding what you're looking at
makes a big difference. Going up, simply
the placement of the Bearcats makes a
big difference. Keep the thing broadside
if you can unless you need to use the
push front. And then take your time,
develop the plan, and if you're going to
develop a plan, then everyone needs to
be on the same page. We saw that with
the gas deployment. They're deploying
gas, then walking it back, asking to put
their masks on. They moved up multiple
times and officer was injured. A lot of
things to learn on this and takeaways,
the difference of a full-time versus
ancillary teams, but taking your time
could have prevented some of these
officers from actually being injured.
>> Yeah, and utilizing the resources and
tools that you have available to you.
