Thank you so much for this comment! This is incredibly valuable information that's only gleaned from training and experience 😊 Thank you for enriching our comments section! Pinning this to the top.
I live in the US and once a month I do emt training where I'm a patient and I aid the students in their final exam but my mom was a RN when I was growing up so I've learned a lot of medical stuff
Anderson always seems so mild mannered and level-headed throughout the show so if they were going to kill her off I’m glad they let her go out like an absolute badass
Anderson was never mild mannered, she just chose to be nice. It's established pretty early in an episode with Chen that she's legitimately more of a real badass than Bradford. She joined the LAPD after 2 tours in Afghanistan and rose in the ranks but can't agree more that it's one of the most badass scenes in the show
58:12 "He killed my captain!!" Always breaks me and makes me feel so bad for Sergeant Grey, he is one of the characters that has had the most taken from him.
That was a rough episode, I didn’t expect the show to kill her Edit to add, I truly appreciate the emotionality you showed at the end talking cops killed in the line of duty and the victims of gang violence.
We experienced both while police officers so it hits us a little closer to home. It's a hard part of the job and a big reason why we always stress that the job is not for everyone and should be taken with the utmost preparation and caution. Thank you for the comment 😊
@@OnlyCopsI think that's one of the reasons why I like this show so much sure it has its problems in the later seasons But that first fews seasons , just feel so real When a character is Killed off You are genuinely feeling like What the fuck just happened A pretty good representation of the chaos that is well being a police officer
I was a correctional deputy at my county jail for two years. My body camera never once showed me being abusive or using excessive force, it did however show that the inmates were lying. I will admit it did catch me cussing under my breath lmao.
When I was with APD, any time someone higher than a Sgt responded to any call, at least 2 cars rolled with them. There's zero percent chance a Captain calls in an open door / in progress and they don't send everybody.
they adressed that in a previous episode where the Captain was angry bcs other units showed up without them calling reinforcement, that's why here no one else showed up
@@MsVale1977 they showed up after Officer Chen out out the all clear and here she did not update dispatch after entering the house so after a few minutes they should have pulled up at that location not wait until literal nightfall lol
They killed off the captain to apparently show "anything can happen and you shouldn't get attached to characters" and then proceeded to kill off only one other character in the next 5 seasons. Rendering their point pretty much moot.
they killed Anderson and West because the actors left the show. West's actor left because of the racism episodes as far as I heard. So the show writers chose to give the characters a dramatic send-off wich I think it's not too shabby.
also I agree that shows like Dexter or How To Get Away With Murder did a much better job on getting people attached to characters and then killing them off. I remember I was making fun of HTGAWM for having some importany character die every season.
He might not be on property records but his address is definitely in the system from employment records and his driver's license. I'm sure the gang had someone who can find it.
1:07:31 when Bill says “why a red dot on top of an ACOG?”, like I’m National Guard and the platoon that I was in, half of our guys had RCOs or ACOGs with red dots on our M4s, it’s a good thing to have just in case for CQC or just shooting a target closer than 50 meters.
You feel it just seeing on officer die anywhere in America. Someone suited up just let you did that day and they didn't get to come home, it a hard thing to explain to people
I'm training as a dispatcher in indiana. We check officers status 2 minutes after arrival and every 4 minutes after that. If they don't respond we give 5 seconds then we ask again if they don't respond the patrol supervisor advises code 10 which is our code for officer needs backup immediately. I would like to hear more of the dispatch center checking status in this show then they actually do
We had a similar policy for traffic stops from our dispatchers. I'm the day and age of bodycams and policies like these, this is so incredibly unlikely to happen its hilarious to see on a show
If you’re interested in seeing stuff about dispatchers, I would recommend watching 911. That centers around the dispatch center, fire station, and police.
Yeah, it rains in LA, and because of filming schedules a large number of episodes of each season are filmed during the coldest and wettest times of the year. A lot of Baywatch's episodes where you see sunny beaches were filmed in December through February and the girls wore puffy jackets in stood in front of heaters between takes
Just subscribed to your channel. I love the reaction videos! The Rookie is one of my favorite shows, but I agree with the lack of deadly force being used and how that is a problem. As you stated, some people can’t be reasoned with. I’m currently at the end of my Masters program in forensic psychology and I have learned how true that statement is. I have actually done police ride alongs, so I am at least somewhat aware of the field and know that it is truly dangerous. I thank you guys for your service and this great channel. Keep doing the great work.
Welcome to the channel! I'm always happy to hear from other people who have adjacent educational or practical experience for some of the stuff we discuss on these episodes, it brings so much more depth than we alone can provide! Thank you for the sub and the GREAT comment!
I “love” (for a lack of a better word) that you can see both officers instantly get emotional with Anderson her death, must have hit home. God bless you.
We definitely saw one too many of those ceremonies and it's a sobering reminder that we were so fortunate to not have to give our lives for the job. God bless the ones who did and their families
New to your channel - just subscribed. Watching your faces during the scene where the Captain is killed, and the fall out from that, it was easy to see that both of you have seen things in your careers. I appreciate the thoughtful commentary during the show, and the wrap up after the episode ended. Great job! I look forward to seeing more from you both (and there's already a whole bunch of content I get to enjoy while waiting for new stuff).
Your experience with the kids that had cops who died kinda reminds me of Boot Camp when a ‘Nam vet (marine sniper) was telling us about his time in the marines and just how he lost friends. The worst part is when he told us he hated going back home. He said the worst orders you could get was you’re going back home, that he’d rather stay in ‘Nam because you’d get spit in and called baby killer at home.
For reference, "winter" in southern California is December to February, also called the "rainy season". During February, which is the wettest month, there's an average of 5 days when it rains. So rain isn't exactly unheard of for the time of year this episode would have filmed, but they must have had a bit of bad luck.
Right? I've been Russian nesting doll'ing my food service gloves since I was 6 years old. Its wild how many people learned about basic hygiene and common sense around health during the depths of COVID, who didn't know before.
you're mostly right about the drone thing, drones over 249 grams need to be registered and u need licensure with the faa, u can fly at a max of 400 agl unless you have special permission and you need to file and get a clearance with the faa and the atc if ur flying in the vicinity of controlled airspaces.
This is a beautiful reaction to one of my favorite episodes in the series. I like hearing your own personal experiences and how they relate to the show. I wish y’all would ease up on West though 😭😭😭 side note: you said “you don’t need to back up for narcan, chill out”, taking the kid back is a smart move actually. He’s not going to get hit by the narcan or anything, but you never know how someone will react after narcan. I’ve had people become extremely combative, start projectile vomiting, start seizing, etc... remember using narcan is going to effectively send them into withdrawal. having the kid a few steps back to make sure he doesn’t get hit by anything like that was a smart move. (i’m an ER nurse btw)
We have actually really enjoyed the show so far and we're actually crushed to see what happened to the Captain. West gets our hate due to how poorly they wrote his character (the actor seems like a pretty okay guy). I'm with you that pulling the kid back isn't a bad idea, we are probably just a little jaded 😅
I mean, combat veteran, respectable and honorable boss and public servant, dedicated and loyal to her duty, caring and kind to even the lowest ranked officer in the department. Never treating their issues as trivial or beneath her, She was one of the best most honorable characters of the show. And She will be sorely missed. She appears in one other episode where they are chasing a suspect in a Grave yard, The suspect is arrested and Nolan and Bishop go to visit her as the suspect is in their shop. And she has been LAPD for 15 years (each Bar on her lower arm is Five Years) 5, 10, 15.
Forget about the 100 round scar mag thats somehow the size of a 20 round one, I wanna know how he managed that .308 full auto recoil from the hip so well
If self-defense is legal under a life-or-death situation then surely driving under age to save a life isn't as big of a problem plus the worst they can do is juvie
I remember a story I read that a 14 year old had to drive their father to the local hospital, they got pulled over and got an escort to the hospital. Afterward they had their recovered father drive them to the local PD to turn themselves in but was told it fell under Necessity defense
I just want to say how sorry I am that the two of you had to live in that situation where so many good police officers where killed. I have a deep respect for the police. I’ve known good cops and really bad ones but I know overall we are so lucky to have police officers risking their lives protecting us everyday in this country.
I was thinking about being a cop while driving on the interstate. A car of hippies was behind me. Their front wheel broke. The car flipped and rolled. Pulled over to offer aid. Cops showed up 10 minutes later. Then they realized the five yo girl was missing. There was no place she could have been but under the car. I kept my day job.
They didn’t watch that part but I think the reason why nobody “checked” on them was because she told them not to. Something happened earlier and like 10 squad cars came and she said they should focus on other things or something like that.
Loving these reaction videos! I don't know your guys' whole story and or how schooling works in the U.S. (as a 🇨🇦), but has Josh ever thought of teaching? The way in which he articulates the realities of policing/service is a great skill. I could see him teaching a college or university course.
Thank you for the kind words 😊 we use this channel to teach in a way but haven't considered it as a profession. I guess we should maybe try guest speaking or at least giving presentations maybe 😁
2:45- wrong, drone accidents do not be needed to be reported unless more than $500 in property damage or hospitalized injury. Also you can fly in commercial airport zones without a license as long as you get Lannc Approval. I am a licensed drone pilot.
"There's almost no valor in law enforcement" Fuck that, knowing that you can be shived by a crack addict in an alleyway or drive-byd by some street gang just cuz they're garbage people AND STILL going to work every single day takes so much more balls than being in a wrong place at a wrong time and dying in a way people remember you. Thanks for keeping the peace, boys.
Thanks 😊 Our point was that most the the acts you do will go unnoticed and under appreciated. Similar to Vietnam vets you will out right be hated by some for what you do. If you're doing it for the right reasons it won't matter, but the live changing/preserving WILL be appreciated by those you help and those who understand what you do. And that is enough
18:28 Having the boy step back was probably a good idea. You never know how the person will react when coming out of an OD and may start swinging in anger or panic. ✌️💙
So for Drones, no you dont need a license to fly a drone in California for personal use, as long as you dont use it in fly over restricted or private areas. And as long as it is below 400 ft, you are good. Basically, he doesn't need to involve the FAA.
Love hearing y’all’s reactions to this one. This is tied with Day of Death for me as the most moving episodes. Incredibly heavy but also triumphant. O Captain my Captain 🫡
Right. But how does Reversals help the public trust..? I mean, does the public SEE video's or do they put out announcements that they did Reversals? Because, people don't see IA as diffrent cops.
On the topic of CPR in this situation. The purpose of CPR is to pump blood around to vital organs (heart and brain) because the heart isn’t doing that effectively itself. In this situation where the captain has either : a) lost a lot of blood b) sustained an airway injury +/- bleeding into the airway CPR is unlikely to be too helpful on its own without stopping major bleeding and securing the airway. Nolan is limited to compressing external bleeding only. (And it didn’t look like there as a tonne of that). So yeah. The CPR medically wasn’t realistically going to make much of a difference but from Nolan’s perspective, can’t blame him for attempting EVERYTHING possible to save his captain (who had just saved his own life).
@@evergreentree8042 Could well be. Would be really interesting to see a directors/writers/actors commentary on the scene. Either way. Very powerful scene and hits like a sledgehammer.
He wouldn't have known that he killed the captain right away. He got a lucky shot off over his soldier as he was running away. His dad probably told him.
What's unclear to me is why if the LAPD could hit the southern front that hard in one day they waited for the greenlight on Nolan instead of doing that already
If I had to guess, i would say that LAPD is operating on the assumption that hitting those businesses would only cost southern front a week of operations and then would be set up again in a new spot. That new spot would be unknown for a while which means any intelligence to be gleamed from knowing about it would be missed. Thus its not worth the time and effort when more subtle longer term actions can be set up against higher echelons of the organization through observation and control Please keep in mind I'm not an expert in law enforcement.
They said in the episode if they keep hitting businesses like southern front more would just pop up in their place although idk how it works in real life im not a police officer
Watching this Memorial Day weekend. Got to the part talking about dying in the line of duty. I served 5 years in the USMC with my end of service coming 8 months before 9/11 happened. While I was still in several men I served along side died in the line of duty. I was a helicopter crew chief (enlisted air crew that flew on cargo helicopters almost every day) for CH-53Es, and I was paid hazardous duty pay though is was during peace time service. Because flying has associated dangers. The men I served with who died all died due to aviation crashes where they had been on board and the aircraft crashed with them on board. One man was a SSgt in the skids community (AH-1/UH-1) who I had deployed on a MEU with. About a month after getting back from that deployment he was onboard a UH-1 Huey that crashed in the Pacific off the California coast. All hands lost. I do not recall if they ever even recovered his body for burial. Two others I served with were part of another H-53 USMC squadron I had been attached to while waiting on my own unit to come back from Okinawa. The personnel move, the aircraft stay and they send a group of people in advance of the rest of the unit to ensure a smooth change over. A month or two after the others had gone off to Okinawa one of the helicopters crashed into the ocean on a NVG flight. Pilot lost track of the horizon and flew straight into the water, all hands lost. I don't have survivors guilt, but part of me resents not even remembering their names. Edit: I'm posting this to say that death in the line of duty is common even in peacetime for military members too. It sucks when it happens and it's never a good thing. I often say that cops are the only people outside of soldiers serving in wartime who get shot at just for wearing a uniform. The only difference is that a cops "war zone" is right outside their front door 24/7/365. So, much respect to those who wear the badge, and wear it with honor. RIP to all who served and never got to go home.
Thank you so much for your service and we will do everything we can to honor the sacrifices of your brothers and sisters. Every time I see a flag at half mass, it's a sobering reminder of how lucky we were to only have to serve
Been waiting for this episode since you started reacting to the first episode! Sooo excited and hope you react to the rest of the seasons, also would love if you could edit the volume of the clips of the show to match the volume of your commentary, i keep doing these ones ⬇↙↘↖⬆↗
The thing that confused me, Why are you keeping it state-wide? As soon as a cop is targeted, all bets are off. Use every possible law in the book that you can legally use without infringing on their basic rights. "When a cop goes down, All bets are off" - Henry 'Pop' Reagan. (Blue Bloods) One of his best qoutes.
Cole WOULD probably be killed, but in prison, and not by cops, but because otherwise his father would be seen as weak. Gave an order only for his son to directly disobey him
Re: no one coming to check status. They already put out over the air that they had signs of forced entry, and they were making entry to investigate, shouldn’t additional units start automatically?
I'd say going in order works best, 1x16 means they're a bit away from 2x11 but it's gonna be worth it, 2x11 is a crazy episode though and I am really looking forward to that reaction
The Auditing Community Doesn't hate the police as a person, who's hung out with people like Direct D, LongIslandAudit, The Roaming Stoner, they don't hate police they want reform. They want proper training, they want the cops to actually know the law.
I agree that the concept of auditing is done in the spirit of reform and we are firm believers that police are and should be public servants. But, the same way there are plenty of examples of bad cops doing their job dishonorably or out right unlawfully; there is a decent part of the auditing community that is equally ignorant of the law and simply trying to goat officers into confrontations for lawsuits or click baiting content. If you watch our lives you'll see that we spend more time calling out bad polcy/policing than we do covering puff pieces. We catch more actual misconduct on police bodycam footage than most auditors do with cellphones. I'd like to see more auditors come to the table with solutions now that we collectively have enough complaints. Feel free to DM us for a conversation, we are all ears
Yes, it does rain in L.A., just very rarely. Now, snowing, that would be absurd. "I should have kept that Ring Camera footage." ... I am sure that Ring has kept it given how many times they've, illegally and without warrant, handed over footage to law enforcement that had been deleted by the user. While I agree with you, I believe the Captain riding with Nolan was a "I would never assign anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself" type move. Basically, taking not just full responsibility but full risk of the situation if things go wrong.
Snow in LA would be wild 🤣 Ring is definitely notorious for sharing private footage with police. I still don't like the idea of the captain stepping in only because she will not be as sharp as the people already on patrol everyday
For some context if you missed it regarding Captain Anderson, she was a marine before becoming a cop(I believe she was a staff sergeant? Maybe lieutenant? Been a minute since I saw the episode it was mentioned in) that’s why she’s such a badass
7:00 I am not American and I don't understand why people make it such a big deal to show an ID to the Police, but I have seen some really disturbing auditors videos and some really bad cops that should rethink their career choice.
It's definitely a blind leading the blind scenario when these interactions go down. I have seen terrible examples on both the police side and auditors side of the fence and find the whole exercise futile and a waste of everyone's time 🤣 but it's definitely a unique to America problem (as most are)
I attended a Polytechnic High School (job/career oriented), GPA based, basically meaning you had to want to be there. We had no gang violence on campus and only two major fights my entire four years. The school came down hard to ensure it wouldn't continue to happen (for instance, my freshman year two girls fought over a boy, their friends jumped in, a teacher was injured, and the school ended up suspending 50 students. They did not mess around). That said, we did have a gang related death because it was Fresno, CA in the 90s: a 15 yr old Hmong student. His mother didn't understand English and didn't understand what was happening when a punk tried to take her purse. The idiot criminal decided to shoot her instead of letting go of the purse and her son stepped in the way. I still remember his empty desk across the room when we found out. Students planted a tree in his name and it's massive now.
In honor of captain Andersen, I recommend watching season 1 episode 10 where she makes herself and sergeant gray ride with Lucy and Nolan for a day ( just a short reaction video 🙏🏾)
58:30 Big Midas was in total fear and humiliation that his son killed a captain over a Small thing, Anderson is right, Cole is probably gonna get whacked by his father
Yeah we had some mic issues filming this one. I did my best to clean it up without having to cut out a ton of stuff. Good news is we have new mics for next time!
The wierdest part of the scene where nolan and the captain are being tailed by the brown van. After it splits off, you can see a second brown van identical pull up in the rear view and follow them. You can see it on the glass of the buildings 2. If you were spooked by one brown van, 2 identical brown vans following you. Should send off every alarm in 30 miles.
I actually have family members in El Salvador who are cops and military. There is definitely a drastic difference of running things. The proceedings to organized crime have been dealt with extreme measures (which is fair given how things were). I recently went on a visit and the amount of cops and military I saw patrolling on foot every minute of everyday was uneasy yet understandable. Still a beautiful place lol
It so incredibly sad that so much of South America is rich with culture and such a beautiful land but is full of corruption and crime. Hopefully we will see a better future soon there, the people of all of those countries deserve better
Going through the body cam is not always relaiable, LAPD seems to have an issue of malfunctioning cams as often they don't work, no sound, no video, don't turn on, turn off. Also LACSD was given money to buy it but did not buy a single one for almost a decade
@@OnlyCops Oh they help, and based on the LAPD's records, they will clear the officer more often then they indict the officer. It's reached the point here that if the camera "malfunctions" it's almost always a sign that the something happened that the officers does not want seen

A lot of Baywatch's episodes where you see sunny beaches were filmed in December through February and the girls wore puffy jackets in stood in front of heaters between takes
That makes sense!
That sounds miserable! I guess they rarely had closeups because it'd be hard to control goosebumps
@amandasnider2644 it explains the perky nips which I picked up on even while watching on the 12in TV back then
Farewell Captain Anderson, you went out like a champ
She really did, an absolute G
Anderson's death scene and the salute while they walk her body to the van never ceases to make me tear up. I liked her.
Same, I had to blink back a few tears during filming. It was a sober reminder of the officers that died while I was still on the force...
Just subscribed to your channel. I love the reaction videos! The Rookie is one of my favorite shows, but I agree with the lack of deadly force being used and how that is a problem. As you stated, some people can’t be reasoned with. I’m currently at the end of my Masters program in forensic psychology and I have learned how true that statement is. I have actually done police ride alongs, so I am at least somewhat aware of the field and know that it is truly dangerous. I thank you guys for your service and this great channel. Keep doing the great work.
Welcome to the channel! I'm always happy to hear from other people who have adjacent educational or practical experience for some of the stuff we discuss on these episodes, it brings so much more depth than we alone can provide!
Thank you for the sub and the GREAT comment!
Need you to watch episodes 2x10 and 2x11 together in an episode. It’s a wild ride.
It is on our list!
Don’t skip ahead watch the episodes in order
I “love” (for a lack of a better word) that you can see both officers instantly get emotional with Anderson her death, must have hit home. God bless you.
We definitely saw one too many of those ceremonies and it's a sobering reminder that we were so fortunate to not have to give our lives for the job. God bless the ones who did and their families
The angle of the shot could have hit the spine because she seemed pretty lights out at moment of impact
I could definitely see that given the angle.
18:30 and Officer Wrose got a free hug.
more than he deserved at the time
New to your channel - just subscribed. Watching your faces during the scene where the Captain is killed, and the fall out from that, it was easy to see that both of you have seen things in your careers.
I appreciate the thoughtful commentary during the show, and the wrap up after the episode ended. Great job! I look forward to seeing more from you both (and there's already a whole bunch of content I get to enjoy while waiting for new stuff).
Thank you so much for your kind words! We have a ton of content similar and we are privileged to have you as an audience member!
Your experience with the kids that had cops who died kinda reminds me of Boot Camp when a ‘Nam vet (marine sniper) was telling us about his time in the marines and just how he lost friends. The worst part is when he told us he hated going back home. He said the worst orders you could get was you’re going back home, that he’d rather stay in ‘Nam because you’d get spit in and called baby killer at home.
It's definitely a shit experience to suffer on behalf of society and still have people hate you for it. 2020 sucked real bad
For reference, "winter" in southern California is December to February, also called the "rainy season". During February, which is the wettest month, there's an average of 5 days when it rains. So rain isn't exactly unheard of for the time of year this episode would have filmed, but they must have had a bit of bad luck.
I had no idea! That makes WAY more sense now!
Also El Niño hits the hardest in SoCal, and we had a nearly year long rainy season last year cause of it.
Me learning glove removal skills from food service. 🤣
It is pretty much identical
Right? I've been Russian nesting doll'ing my food service gloves since I was 6 years old. Its wild how many people learned about basic hygiene and common sense around health during the depths of COVID, who didn't know before.
you're mostly right about the drone thing, drones over 249 grams need to be registered and u need licensure with the faa, u can fly at a max of 400 agl unless you have special permission and you need to file and get a clearance with the faa and the atc if ur flying in the vicinity of controlled airspaces.
Thank you for the clarification 🥰
This is a beautiful reaction to one of my favorite episodes in the series. I like hearing your own personal experiences and how they relate to the show. I wish y’all would ease up on West though 😭😭😭
side note: you said “you don’t need to back up for narcan, chill out”, taking the kid back is a smart move actually. He’s not going to get hit by the narcan or anything, but you never know how someone will react after narcan. I’ve had people become extremely combative, start projectile vomiting, start seizing, etc... remember using narcan is going to effectively send them into withdrawal. having the kid a few steps back to make sure he doesn’t get hit by anything like that was a smart move. (i’m an ER nurse btw)
We have actually really enjoyed the show so far and we're actually crushed to see what happened to the Captain. West gets our hate due to how poorly they wrote his character (the actor seems like a pretty okay guy).
I'm with you that pulling the kid back isn't a bad idea, we are probably just a little jaded 😅
Who is patrolling when everyone is responding to a fake bank robbery?
Batman...
Indeed Batman
No kidding
I liked how you guys talked abt how so many tv shows are glamorizing gang banging
It's wild to me that such a damaging thing is society is often depicted as "reasonable" or described as "part of culture".
I mean, combat veteran, respectable and honorable boss and public servant, dedicated and loyal to her duty, caring and kind to even the lowest ranked officer in the department. Never treating their issues as trivial or beneath her, She was one of the best most honorable characters of the show. And She will be sorely missed. She appears in one other episode where they are chasing a suspect in a Grave yard, The suspect is arrested and Nolan and Bishop go to visit her as the suspect is in their shop. And she has been LAPD for 15 years (each Bar on her lower arm is Five Years) 5, 10, 15.
She was such a great character and it was sad to see how she died
Forget about the 100 round scar mag thats somehow the size of a 20 round one, I wanna know how he managed that .308 full auto recoil from the hip so well
NO KIDDING 🤣
If self-defense is legal under a life-or-death situation then surely driving under age to save a life isn't as big of a problem plus the worst they can do is juvie
I completely agree!
I remember a story I read that a 14 year old had to drive their father to the local hospital, they got pulled over and got an escort to the hospital. Afterward they had their recovered father drive them to the local PD to turn themselves in but was told it fell under Necessity defense
3:40 Yeah don't do that! They will Fight you. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just want to say how sorry I am that the two of you had to live in that situation where so many good police officers where killed. I have a deep respect for the police. I’ve known good cops and really bad ones but I know overall we are so lucky to have police officers risking their lives protecting us everyday in this country.
Thank you for your kind words 🥰 Bill and I were the lucky ones, we gave far less than others
I was thinking about being a cop while driving on the interstate. A car of hippies was behind me. Their front wheel broke. The car flipped and rolled. Pulled over to offer aid. Cops showed up 10 minutes later. Then they realized the five yo girl was missing. There was no place she could have been but under the car. I kept my day job.
That is a rough call to work and situation to have been a part of. God bless you
15:15 @OnlyCops yea they drop it or its intrapment becuse they asked heim to commit a crime then when he did cited him for it
Yeah, that is super shady
52:01 four total actually, one carotid artery and one jugular vein on each side, all of which carry plenty of blood.
Was waiting for this one. Thank you guys for the breakdown🫡
No problem! We are glad you guys enjoyed it and showed it some love!
They didn’t watch that part but I think the reason why nobody “checked” on them was because she told them not to. Something happened earlier and like 10 squad cars came and she said they should focus on other things or something like that.
That makes a lot more sense
To be fair though dispatch would still probably check and then when they don't respond you're kinda going to ignore the "don't respond" I would think.
Was that this episode? I thought that was the one when she rode with Lucy?
@@LibiB26 pretty sure you’re right yea
Loving these reaction videos! I don't know your guys' whole story and or how schooling works in the U.S. (as a 🇨🇦), but has Josh ever thought of teaching? The way in which he articulates the realities of policing/service is a great skill. I could see him teaching a college or university course.
Thank you for the kind words 😊 we use this channel to teach in a way but haven't considered it as a profession. I guess we should maybe try guest speaking or at least giving presentations maybe 😁
Gonna kill me to wait 2 more days I need it now 😂
We all have to wait 🥲
Shit it gonna be lit
17:35 it's LA, they can't drive in the rain 🌧️
That fair 🤣 neither can people in Texas
18:15 isn't it very common that people come up fighting after narcan being used on them?
Depending on what they were high on yes 😅
The entire show Tim is just like a wave. Totally on top until he crashes to the bottom
Poor Tim
I was waiting yet not waiting for you to react to this episode :[ I hope you continue to do the series!!!
We so indeed plan to continue with the series 😊
2:45- wrong, drone accidents do not be needed to be reported unless more than $500 in property damage or hospitalized injury. Also you can fly in commercial airport zones without a license as long as you get Lannc Approval. I am a licensed drone pilot.
Thanks for the insight! These are some of my favorite comments!
I cried so much when Anderson died! Every time I see it I cry.
Same 😭
"There's almost no valor in law enforcement"
Fuck that, knowing that you can be shived by a crack addict in an alleyway or drive-byd by some street gang just cuz they're garbage people AND STILL going to work every single day takes so much more balls than being in a wrong place at a wrong time and dying in a way people remember you.
Thanks for keeping the peace, boys.
Thanks 😊 Our point was that most the the acts you do will go unnoticed and under appreciated. Similar to Vietnam vets you will out right be hated by some for what you do. If you're doing it for the right reasons it won't matter, but the live changing/preserving WILL be appreciated by those you help and those who understand what you do. And that is enough
18:28 Having the boy step back was probably a good idea. You never know how the person will react when coming out of an OD and may start swinging in anger or panic. ✌️💙
Thank you for the comment 😊
So for Drones, no you dont need a license to fly a drone in California for personal use, as long as you dont use it in fly over restricted or private areas. And as long as it is below 400 ft, you are good. Basically, he doesn't need to involve the FAA.
Must be nice!
Love hearing y’all’s reactions to this one. This is tied with Day of Death for me as the most moving episodes. Incredibly heavy but also triumphant. O Captain my Captain 🫡
This was definitely a heavy episode, but I'm glad we got to do this episode for your guys
I recommended this two months back. Looking forward to check out yours guy’s reaction!
We finally made it! I hope you enjoy it!
34:11 To be fair. If I knew a group was trying to kill me and knew where I worked, I would either show up super early or late to avoid any snipers.
That is a fair point.
Right. But how does Reversals help the public trust..? I mean, does the public SEE video's or do they put out announcements that they did Reversals?
Because, people don't see IA as diffrent cops.
Completely agreed, I think this is one of the dumbest things we have seen to date in this show
I love it when real cops react to these cop shows.
It's definitely a unique experience 🤣
On the topic of CPR in this situation.
The purpose of CPR is to pump blood around to vital organs (heart and brain) because the heart isn’t doing that effectively itself.
In this situation where the captain has either :
a) lost a lot of blood
b) sustained an airway injury +/- bleeding into the airway
CPR is unlikely to be too helpful on its own without stopping major bleeding and securing the airway.
Nolan is limited to compressing external bleeding only. (And it didn’t look like there as a tonne of that).
So yeah. The CPR medically wasn’t realistically going to make much of a difference but from Nolan’s perspective, can’t blame him for attempting EVERYTHING possible to save his captain (who had just saved his own life).
Great comment! Thank you for making our comments section informative and thank you for taking the time to contribute 😊
@@OnlyCops
Glad to contribute.
This scene hit me like a sledgehammer when I first watched it.
I assumed he knew she couldn't be saved, but he was in shock and denial.
@@evergreentree8042
Could well be.
Would be really interesting to see a directors/writers/actors commentary on the scene.
Either way. Very powerful scene and hits like a sledgehammer.
I hope I catch this live tomorrow, this is one of the best episodes of the season
We will be in the chat 😁
Just rewatched the episode to prep for this lol. Can’t wait to see what y’all have to say about it
Woo hoo! It will be an hour and a half long episode!
Jackson wasn't perfect character at first but got a whole lot better
I hope so!
He wouldn't have known that he killed the captain right away. He got a lucky shot off over his soldier as he was running away. His dad probably told him.
Either I am glad they caught the guy, but I wish he had a worse fate than just going to prison
Can’t wait to see it! Can you do more 19-2?
We will definitely do some more!
What's unclear to me is why if the LAPD could hit the southern front that hard in one day they waited for the greenlight on Nolan instead of doing that already
That's what I'm saying!
If I had to guess, i would say that LAPD is operating on the assumption that hitting those businesses would only cost southern front a week of operations and then would be set up again in a new spot. That new spot would be unknown for a while which means any intelligence to be gleamed from knowing about it would be missed. Thus its not worth the time and effort when more subtle longer term actions can be set up against higher echelons of the organization through observation and control
Please keep in mind I'm not an expert in law enforcement.
They said in the episode if they keep hitting businesses like southern front more would just pop up in their place although idk how it works in real life im not a police officer
@@kingseb2252that is indeed how it works which is what makes it hard to fight effectively
37:53 Actually she had been on the street before, with Lucy Chen.
She was the best captain 😊
Agreed 🫡@@OnlyCops
Watching this Memorial Day weekend. Got to the part talking about dying in the line of duty. I served 5 years in the USMC with my end of service coming 8 months before 9/11 happened. While I was still in several men I served along side died in the line of duty. I was a helicopter crew chief (enlisted air crew that flew on cargo helicopters almost every day) for CH-53Es, and I was paid hazardous duty pay though is was during peace time service. Because flying has associated dangers. The men I served with who died all died due to aviation crashes where they had been on board and the aircraft crashed with them on board. One man was a SSgt in the skids community (AH-1/UH-1) who I had deployed on a MEU with. About a month after getting back from that deployment he was onboard a UH-1 Huey that crashed in the Pacific off the California coast. All hands lost. I do not recall if they ever even recovered his body for burial. Two others I served with were part of another H-53 USMC squadron I had been attached to while waiting on my own unit to come back from Okinawa. The personnel move, the aircraft stay and they send a group of people in advance of the rest of the unit to ensure a smooth change over. A month or two after the others had gone off to Okinawa one of the helicopters crashed into the ocean on a NVG flight. Pilot lost track of the horizon and flew straight into the water, all hands lost. I don't have survivors guilt, but part of me resents not even remembering their names.
Edit: I'm posting this to say that death in the line of duty is common even in peacetime for military members too. It sucks when it happens and it's never a good thing. I often say that cops are the only people outside of soldiers serving in wartime who get shot at just for wearing a uniform. The only difference is that a cops "war zone" is right outside their front door 24/7/365. So, much respect to those who wear the badge, and wear it with honor. RIP to all who served and never got to go home.
Thank you so much for your service and we will do everything we can to honor the sacrifices of your brothers and sisters.
Every time I see a flag at half mass, it's a sobering reminder of how lucky we were to only have to serve
Been waiting for this episode since you started reacting to the first episode! Sooo excited and hope you react to the rest of the seasons, also would love if you could edit the volume of the clips of the show to match the volume of your commentary, i keep doing these ones ⬇↙↘↖⬆↗
I'm glad we could provide it! We will at this to our editors notes!
The thing that confused me, Why are you keeping it state-wide? As soon as a cop is targeted, all bets are off. Use every possible law in the book that you can legally use without infringing on their basic rights.
"When a cop goes down, All bets are off" - Henry 'Pop' Reagan. (Blue Bloods) One of his best qoutes.
Within reason I would completely agree with you!
I still to this day Think the funniest part of this Episode is you saying his truck probably runs better and immediately get shot up
🤣🤣🤣 the timing on it was incredible
Cole WOULD probably be killed, but in prison, and not by cops, but because otherwise his father would be seen as weak. Gave an order only for his son to directly disobey him
It was definitely a complicated situation
I love your reactions to the Rookie ❤ keep them coming 🎉😊
We are trying our best 🥰
Re: no one coming to check status. They already put out over the air that they had signs of forced entry, and they were making entry to investigate, shouldn’t additional units start automatically?
Maybe you're right. Either way, with how much time passed without traffic I figured someone would come check on the captain and the green lit dude
u guys should react to 2x11 (day of death). it’s one of their highest rated episodes i think
they'll get there eventually
If you want the best experience watching that episode it is better to have context and the buildup.
I'd say going in order works best, 1x16 means they're a bit away from 2x11 but it's gonna be worth it, 2x11 is a crazy episode though and I am really looking forward to that reaction
We are on our way, we are filming more Monday so hopefully we can get more out to you sooner!
Just found this channel. Excited to go through your videos. I am joining my local police academy here in June any advice on getting started?
We are happy to have you here! God bless you for your want to serve!
The Auditing Community Doesn't hate the police as a person, who's hung out with people like Direct D, LongIslandAudit, The Roaming Stoner, they don't hate police they want reform. They want proper training, they want the cops to actually know the law.
I agree that the concept of auditing is done in the spirit of reform and we are firm believers that police are and should be public servants. But, the same way there are plenty of examples of bad cops doing their job dishonorably or out right unlawfully; there is a decent part of the auditing community that is equally ignorant of the law and simply trying to goat officers into confrontations for lawsuits or click baiting content.
If you watch our lives you'll see that we spend more time calling out bad polcy/policing than we do covering puff pieces. We catch more actual misconduct on police bodycam footage than most auditors do with cellphones. I'd like to see more auditors come to the table with solutions now that we collectively have enough complaints.
Feel free to DM us for a conversation, we are all ears
No a lot do and cops know the law better then them
thank you for mentioning the drone rules
Any time!
Yes, it does rain in L.A., just very rarely. Now, snowing, that would be absurd.
"I should have kept that Ring Camera footage." ... I am sure that Ring has kept it given how many times they've, illegally and without warrant, handed over footage to law enforcement that had been deleted by the user.
While I agree with you, I believe the Captain riding with Nolan was a "I would never assign anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself" type move. Basically, taking not just full responsibility but full risk of the situation if things go wrong.
Snow in LA would be wild 🤣
Ring is definitely notorious for sharing private footage with police.
I still don't like the idea of the captain stepping in only because she will not be as sharp as the people already on patrol everyday
For some context if you missed it regarding Captain Anderson, she was a marine before becoming a cop(I believe she was a staff sergeant? Maybe lieutenant? Been a minute since I saw the episode it was mentioned in) that’s why she’s such a badass
She was such a great character
She was an MP
7:00 I am not American and I don't understand why people make it such a big deal to show an ID to the Police, but I have seen some really disturbing auditors videos and some really bad cops that should rethink their career choice.
It's definitely a blind leading the blind scenario when these interactions go down. I have seen terrible examples on both the police side and auditors side of the fence and find the whole exercise futile and a waste of everyone's time 🤣 but it's definitely a unique to America problem (as most are)
ID Is needed so they can know that that the car that they own or name
I cried so hard while watching this scene 😭
Same 🥲
I attended a Polytechnic High School (job/career oriented), GPA based, basically meaning you had to want to be there. We had no gang violence on campus and only two major fights my entire four years. The school came down hard to ensure it wouldn't continue to happen (for instance, my freshman year two girls fought over a boy, their friends jumped in, a teacher was injured, and the school ended up suspending 50 students. They did not mess around).
That said, we did have a gang related death because it was Fresno, CA in the 90s: a 15 yr old Hmong student. His mother didn't understand English and didn't understand what was happening when a punk tried to take her purse. The idiot criminal decided to shoot her instead of letting go of the purse and her son stepped in the way. I still remember his empty desk across the room when we found out. Students planted a tree in his name and it's massive now.
What a cool high school experience! Bill and I definitely went to public school and it shows 😅
In honor of captain Andersen, I recommend watching season 1 episode 10 where she makes herself and sergeant gray ride with Lucy and Nolan for a day ( just a short reaction video 🙏🏾)
I will miss her character!
58:30 Big Midas was in total fear and humiliation that his son killed a captain over a Small thing, Anderson is right, Cole is probably gonna get whacked by his father
One can only hope
Heads up there's a decent amount of background static at points through the vid
Yeah we had some mic issues filming this one. I did my best to clean it up without having to cut out a ton of stuff. Good news is we have new mics for next time!
Fire department chronicles has a video abt this: 1 control bleeding. 2 everything else.
I find it hard to believe that Cole did not "trip" onto a curb and an officer was not able to catch his fall
100%
So, first, the Axon Body2 doesn't have the LiveView/GPS tracking or BodyDown function. The GPS function in their car, though, yeah.
I didn't know that! Our Motorola bodycams had GPS capabilities as well as live feeds
@@OnlyCops Axon Body3's and 4's do, but the old Body2's don't.
I cant waaaaait till yall get to later episodes like Death Day or the longer story arcs 😂 it gets wild.
We just got done with filming a couple of more episodes and are finally into season 2!
Nitpicky thing but unless they do it differently in the police vs military, should have been "present arms" then "order arms"
I never did honor guard in LE, but I can't imagine why they would deviate from military tradition here
The wierdest part of the scene where nolan and the captain are being tailed by the brown van.
After it splits off, you can see a second brown van identical pull up in the rear view and follow them. You can see it on the glass of the buildings 2.
If you were spooked by one brown van, 2 identical brown vans following you. Should send off every alarm in 30 miles.
Right!?!? Maybe they relaxed and didn't see it due to them thinking they were over reacting
His own TO didn't go with him to do the arrest but chen and Bradford did
That is weird
Oh, I love this episode.
It's been by far the most requested!
My question during the episode was did the valet get greenlit too
Right!?!? He is how the whole thing started lol
I actually have family members in El Salvador who are cops and military. There is definitely a drastic difference of running things. The proceedings to organized crime have been dealt with extreme measures (which is fair given how things were). I recently went on a visit and the amount of cops and military I saw patrolling on foot every minute of everyday was uneasy yet understandable. Still a beautiful place lol
It so incredibly sad that so much of South America is rich with culture and such a beautiful land but is full of corruption and crime. Hopefully we will see a better future soon there, the people of all of those countries deserve better
Going through the body cam is not always relaiable, LAPD seems to have an issue of malfunctioning cams as often they don't work, no sound, no video, don't turn on, turn off. Also LACSD was given money to buy it but did not buy a single one for almost a decade
I will agree that bodycams almost never give the full story, but I do think they help in transparency
@@OnlyCops Oh they help, and based on the LAPD's records, they will clear the officer more often then they indict the officer. It's reached the point here that if the camera "malfunctions" it's almost always a sign that the something happened that the officers does not want seen
Hey did you know that Josh films these barefoot?
I do indeed!
