stop so what no so what happened what happened we stopped them I said to them listen you guys know why we're here there's a gun involved somewhere who's got it and the one kid went like this and I get perfect you come here so I took him down and I patted him down the whole nine then I heard we got a we got a 2 five so I'm thinking myself this kid isn't the kid so I just SC I said we're going to wa here still five people yeah I mean listen are people on other parts of the building the most we could do is just try to identify them that they were in the building we got one kid up here but here's the other thing too we got after that kid the four people behind him got their IDs there's no way they don't know who he was you know so I I feel like even if you got to the point where you started pulling these people in and you're interviewing and doing whatever they do in the backroom they kind of spe zip in your car by oh lockmith okay I don't all right thank you Jesus they don't have a key to the roof that's what I got thing right you got a zip time in the trunk of9 okay got itank I believe I have your property is it in your bag or something I just wanted it so when I secure it the [Music] Box everybody came in contact with explain to them the I said this first thing we did I said listen you guys ran we come in hot like this we got a call build was sto every and I go and Ricky just said nobody's leaving right now and that's going to like this as soon he was my first guy unless youly keep weapon I me that's where I keep my off duty you know right me too so I that's what I would have done keep in mind like if I wear my gun off in my back like towards the side but more I can kick out to shance anyone has a box for this weapon their vehicle no but this isn't easy to get off either but listen this is it's frozen right don't injy yeah no I yeah well like if I could like almost like venetian blind there was a way to just take off what I'm looking for I'm looking for CU I have I got tools on my multi-tool evidence box secure weapon access should have a little B more it already cops in this building at that point we first do in here yeah I like at that point I just want to get people in the building yeah we beat feet and we got right in here and we just went off Hest went up to Stair slow smack no I gloves we just went real slow all right you did good job you did a good job going on the on the outside and looking up that was that was excellent yes Mom I am thank yes yes I got you yeah just just Adam I I the reason why I was even in headquarters I was charging my camera and I just when I heard the I left my camera so I'm going to have to do a sheet [Music] has morning with the wall you can charge the camera charging in like a half hour yeah it's fast yeah instead of walking around with the stupid W time this just connected to the car I hop out second would make a camera that has like a 24-hour battery at the very least they do with the over budget lucky if it does 12 there was times I had this and Di the one shift the can't the other one yeah if you use it the side I mean I think I had like a 6 hour video was that like 48% under 32% all right I'm not going to I always got to hit M like halfway between the second my second double yeah and that's just dead day I you know what put the camera aside why can't we get an HC that last 16 hours this this one last like 13 this like the big one yeah yeah cuz I only had one battery and then that one was dead didn't charge so he said just take this one it's a p 365 now yeah uh um somebody's bringing us a boxing [Music] I don't even have my pair anymore a comy gun though got one in this vehicle I have one yeah as long as we get in the box right now don't matter we can just make a secure put in the Box up there separate the ammo from it I'm I'm I'm spit here I'm genuinely asking a question is would you consider this a community [Music] gun I know I know there's like statue and what's the story with the Party St are we uh issuing summonses running them what are we doing that's a negative we took pedig too long to explain re I call what was there four people all together right that we got ped for four but there were five we had five stock initially and then that sixth one down and a fifth I hate when the chaos like that happens because then we make mistakes like we get [ __ ] properly get this guy Fu cuz you know what there wasn't enough of us here and the group split up at the three yeah we got the group split up at the three we just happened to encounter two of the three groups so me and R you guys went into the building me and R pulled up parked on Jackson and once we heard that commotion we was just stay in the by downstairs just to make sure if they beat you had at the door yeah and then we heard that commotion we just made our way up thanks for coming quick course appreciate that [ __ ] yeah everybody problem yeah R box please yeah there there I was uncomfortable yes I got 20 hey what's up what's going on same just to open it take a step back yeah got was it double Bol no it's just like a de Bol oh we're not touching it we're not touching it that's what I was stepping out here to do hold on let me uh let me come from this way I want to from this way too with the the great there just I don't want you picture these don't have up here right these are just regular chain fences there used to be a Ching fence up here yeah they the roof like two years ago they changed don't do the there you go wa wait on don't even grab yet you know till she gets here with the the box I think she's we could just close it to lock it I don't want I don't want to keep me around if you don't have ABS close it a lock yeah once you close it a lock thank you so it's not a b it's just it a lock it's possible that this kid might have known that this door was open or he flung it through here he looks it through I took like a bunch of this and zoomed out so that you could tell that you want to get me you want to get a picture in my hand no that's why a lot of ours have yeah yeah I got you now you're right thank you oh wow that's they clean that gun there's no serial number on that see anything fly don't know about I don't like heights it's a real shame I don't like Ro either no it's a Taurus it's kind of sick it's a Taurus look at that not the Taurus [Music] L but there still no cereal number I don't know where it is in a Taurus honestly it should be on the slide it all should be on the slide should be visible you know what let me favor come out

to show people how when we go down we'll take a picture from that Landing up and then that's [Music] it then we'll take a picture of 501 when we get outside actually build that realize he not there anymore for [ __ ] right why somebody else Pi up my instincts on that guy man were good I'm telling you you know what I'm saying though like the problem is with the radios like I I can't hear a lot like it comes in funny on M we were trying to ke up saying we're in the building and we're out with five but we couldn't get on the radio I heard that you out with people I just didn't once I heard that [ __ ] that's when we made we made our way up nothing was nothing was readable that's how we have to respond I said we're out with five I out with five and I didn't really I heard booby on the radio and then I heard just commotion from below us I guess that was you and Ray coming in the building yeah that's why I was up there and I heard Leo talking on the phone he said oh your gun 501 I was like let me just get down there Boo and he started calling ad him on the radio before the dispatch start who called the though I don't know I heard the radio ran out somebody was attemp and watch the caller no they were here and left you guys got here quick though everybody did yeah everybody got it [Music] fast say one 4 to 12 you're going to have bodies I don't like this now RC by these

would this is $100 million view right now yeah helicopter noise is so annoying though now AIC well they changed the flight plan for tourist helicopters right over hobo yeah it's only M literally like they go straight down fish Street yeah and they go back the seem the same way you're right you're right yeah hopefully we can get some DNA or some fingerprints off of it yeah the kids down here
