The Army Ranger bystander is an absolute hero and should be commended for his actions. He stepped in, put the perp down quickly, and tried to save the officer's life. Condolences, RIP Officer Hernandez
That's not true, he would have the ability to defend someone who is at risk of death or bodily injury. The officer couldn't retreat at the time, so deadly force would be justified in this case.@@LL-ft6ed
@@LL-ft6edthat’s not entirely true. You can still come to the defense of another. Let’s not spread false information that will get people hurt or stop someone from helping.
@@LL-ft6edI seriously doubt that charges would be brought in this situation and I cannot imagine a world in which someone would be tried and convinced. What other cases like this have you seen in MN?

What are you going on about? Every situation is different. Evil comes in all shapes, colors and sizes. At the end of the day, every human should be respectful, humble, helpful, and peaceful but always ready to strike and defend when necessary.
@@elsensei5400What are you going about?? His comment is pretty straight forward and it went way over your head. There are a lot of people that condemn police for using a gun on criminals with a knife, according to them a taser is just fine...this video indicates the dangers of a knife and how quickly you can go from talking to breathing your last breath
@@True_Blood_89 I meant what I said. Every situation is different. This could have been avoided. Cops shouldn't shoot first , ask questions later. Neutralize the assailant but keep your distance. Everyone has the right to live, even an assailant. Anyone can hit rock bottom and let their emotions cloud their judgement. One irrational person can't help another irrational person. Someone must be mentally and emotionally balanced to deal with this type of situation. And that person must be the police officer. Anyone looking to get into that line of work knows the dangers that come with the job.
I’m an ER doctor…this is devastating to watch. When you can HEAR the bleeding from a major proximal artery there’s little that can be done unless you can get to the OR in minutes. Yes, apply pressure, but the sad reality is the officer’s spirit was taken prior to the perp being shot. With bleeding like that, there’s not much blood pressure/flow getting to the brain and loss of consciousness is very, very rapid (a small comforting aspect in this heinous tragedy). God bless the officer’s spirit and his family and thank you of course to the hero citizen. Thank you John and Mike for your continued lessons and the service you provide to all of us carrying citizens and LEO’s.
@@ts757arse awesome and perceptive question…in a healthy young guy the collateral flow from the other side would perfuse the whole brain fairly well (no plaques diminishing flow like an older person). But the amount that his was severed means very effective pressure and near minutes transport to the OR would be his only chance of survival…but ask a surgeon about “hearing bleeding”, even in the OR it would be a very demanding affair; and yes; the chances of some neurological deficit during the resuscitation and operative effort is high despite good collateral perfusion…ie if your blood pressure is shit (during transport/resus/OR) then the brain doesn’t perfuse globally and there would likely be some anoxic injury. Again, great question; my answer is admittedly a great deal of speculation too.
yep, that sound generally means you're f**ked. devastating injuries and *very* tough to watch, esp. having seen similar wounds irl (2/3 with the same outcome, seeing this gives me chills...) even with EMTs already on scene surviving that kind of arterial bleeding is slim at best. horrible, horrible way to go out, and no doubt the serious ptsd for the surviving hero.
This is a reach here but hear me out, maybe a doctor might know. Assuming it was only one carotid that was transected, and that's a big assumption I admit, would it have been possible to use hemostatic clamps to stabilize the bleeding had the wound been accessible?
Also wanted to add, glad the doped up knife wielder didn’t have the brain to go for the cops gun and get in a LEGIT gun fight with the defender. Props to him for eliminating the threat but glad that threat wasn’t the brightest bulb.
Sometimes its instant death and you didnt even realize it. How many cops have been ambushed in their patrol cars during lunch, how many shooters have walked up to civilians and get shot in the head. Sometimes its even a car crash…pray for forgiveness and protection everyday. Get right with people you love because it could be your last time.
I'm an Ex Paramedic. I've dealt with some very difficult things including murders. this has me in floods of tears. I know the effect on all involved. The guy who helped is a Hero
As a Marine combat veteran, I can tell you the first time that Ranger turned his head and said f**k he knew the outcome. He never took his hand off, that guy is a warrior!
I’m a retired Police Officer and i wanna believe I’ve seen just about everything. This one got me so emotional and super angry. May our brother Officer Hernandez rest in eternal peace and may God bless his family and grant them peace. Ranger Astorga may God bless you in many ways. You are a true hero. In every meaning of the word. Thank you for your services and for being there for Officer Hernandez during his last moments here. God Bless you sir
This was by far one of the most savage things i saw in my life probably. To hear the sound of the stab, blood dropping and the breath of the officer is wild. Mad respect for the veteran.
As a civilian, I’ve learned so much from this Channel! Thank you for showing the harsh, brutal reality on how a situation can go from 0-100 quick! Every Law Enforcement Officer should be shown THIS video! It will save lives.
@@ActiveSelfProtection John and/or Mike... question...? Considering that Officer Hernandez had already closed to within that 21 foot danger zone on that dirt-bag, once he saw the knife, would Officer Henandez been better off rushing the perpetrator instead of retreating...? Serious question, so please don't roast me...
The Ranger gave him the last gift this poor man could have received. Instant justice. At least his family doesn’t have to sit through the court proceedings for this waste of space. This is horrible, but he did everything he could and he did it well. Thank you Mr. Ranger, and thank you Mr. Officer. Rest in Peace. This really brings home the sacrifice they make every day.
Honestly this is something I didn’t even think of but is so true. With the way society is headed and many of the criminal “justice” systems handle these situations it would have been absolutely gut wrenching to find out if that idiot skid mark of a human would have gotten anything less then the chair. Rest in eternal peace officer Hernandez and thank you for your service to the community of las cruces…
Man I have no words. Thankfully the ranger was there. The family doesn't have to relive this in trial and the guy trying to plead insanity or something.
I don’t think the guy was hi outta his mind either, he talked very clearly! I think he was pure evil and now he’s spending eternity in the worst torture ever in hell! And he went their immediately!
This is the most horrific video I've seen and heard. You can literally hear his blood pouring out of his neck. A guy just trying to do his job, killed for nothing. What an absolute tragedy. Props to the Army Ranger. What an outstanding and compassionate human being. The world needs more people like him.
It was awful, I watched the beginning again, the officer walked up way to close to him in the beginning, he should have stayed back to see where this was going! Iv watched several videos of this same scene but cops had plenty of distance to blast them!
I have heard and seen some messed up stuff online but ya I think this one is gonna stick with me for while totally different when you can hear it from a body cam.
Which is precisely why i've elected to skip this one. Some of these are too brutal. The one with the snowy driveway and the couple that was killed showed me that i can't handle some of this stuff.
Man as an officer myself this video tore me to shreds. It’s an eye opener. I try not to treat every situation like some high intensity encounter. But one thing this has really driven home to me is just maintaining distance. We don’t have to get close to have a conversation. They could have talked from about 20 feet away just fine. Could have possibly given him a couple extra seconds to process and react. This was heartbreaking. RIP to the officer. And to the Ranger…good on you. You deserve recognition for your bravery.
Ah yes... The frequent flyer. Someone should do a study on how many contacts, effort, and money is spent dealing with the same losers over and over again. Judges and prosecutors who keep letting people like this out, should be removed from office!
Judges and prosecutors enforce state laws....they do not make up sentencing guidelines.....you don't like them , work to change them- why is 8 out of 10 of these repeat offender videos from " hard on crime" red states?
Well, it is New Mexico. The governor at least aspires to put a "hold" on carrying firearms, so I'm sure no-bail,etc. reforms are on her to-do list... just sayin'.
I’m in tears for this officer, the bystander & the families affected by this tragedy. My heart goes out to them *thank you for using this as a teaching tool.
@@LL-ft6edI can’t believe that’s true that you would be arrested for putting down someone who had just murdered someone and was now trying to murder you.
@@LL-ft6edHe should reply that his duty to help as a citizen, then he attempted to distract the thing not to proceed with the horror (he stopped only because of being distracted) and then he had to defend himself.
@@LL-ft6edI feel like if you did do this and saved the cops life or at least really tried to help like the man in this video, then the police force would help you quite a bit with the legal process afterwards. Not saying they would 100% but I feel like it would at least be a pretty high chance
That sound- of blood while trying to breathe, and the sound of the heart literally pumping out that volume of blood and splashing sound was something that stopped me in my tracks. I’ve never heard that before. This has to be the most shocking asp video. Rip office and that ranger is a hero as mentioned.
As soon as he said he got his carotid, I knew that sound was likely going to be in play so I turned the volume off before I watched the body cam... Some things you just can't unsee and you can't unhear.
I really appreciate the way you guys took a real and humble approach to this. Ive been involved in situations and no matter how much training one has sometimes it isnt enough and when its real, its different. For all the arm chair quarterbacks talking about how "they" would have handled it, they will see when it happens. Half the battle is the ability to react and perform at all. Please respond with caution responders....people have the right to be assumed innocent and not harassed. But you need to be ready for the "one" that is not innocent. It happens. I have seen the results. Please treat people with respect and stand up for their rights, but your life is first. Its a tough job.
He was never gonna be able to stop it so theres no point in even saying that. It happened way too fast. Literally less than 5 seconds and the officer is done.
You can tell that guy was ready and wanted to kill someone. The fact that he had a glove on his hand and the knife under the sleeve tells how premeditated his attack was.. RIP officer..
THIS is why EMPTY HANDED SKILLS,reflexes training, carrying a defense knife,leg training (thrust kicks/stop kicks/other low area distance kicks), and handspeed TRAINING is AN ABSOLUTE MUST...rip to the officer 🙏💯💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
First time I have ever cried watching ASP. Watched every single one. Cannot imagine the memories this put in one of our vets, that should have never had to experience this feeling, sound and visual on American soil.
Same here seeing what happened to this officer I just cried and my condolences goes out to the family and the Army Ranger is a hero and glad he tried to help the officer.
as a former deputy, i’ve seen my fair share of graphic and horrible things. but this is one i wish i wouldn’t have watched. It brought me to tears. My deepest condolences to jonah’s hernandez’s family. And may his soul rest in peace.
You should watch swat the first episode with Robert urich they were ambushed shot at when his partner dies he wants to turn in his bage and use his fallen partners bage that how he ends up joining swat and Vegas with Robert urich I know there just movies but you could use them to compare back them and now God bless and protect you ✨🕊
This one is heavy! May you rest in peace Officer Hernandez. And God bless you Ranger Astorga, i pray you are flooded with love and support in your life to overcome the hardships of this trauma and any others from past experiences. You are a hero man
This one hit me physically. Thank you John, for trusting your audience and not skipping this incident. Big time lessons here for LEO and armed citizens. The best way to honor Officer Hernandez is to on board the lessons coming out of his sacrifice. Rest in Peace.

We went over this video for training at work. As an officer who worked in a downtown area and has dealt with HUNDREDS of homeless, I learned one thing, they all have some sort of blade. Our training was why the officers approached nonchalantly with his hands in his vest. If you look, his one arm got stuck in vest when he fell. If he would've kept his distance and not been worried about being "mean" or coming off "rude," He may still be with us. RIP to this brother in blue.
Boy you weren't kidding about viewer discretion advised. This one will stick with me. Prayers for this officer and his family. I definitely learned a lot from this one.
This one was the toughest one to see and I consider myself "desensitived" to these videos. God bless the family of the officer and the bystander who tried to save his life
As an armed security officer who works the night shift and deals with homeless people all the time . Watching this gives me the chills, remember distance is your only advantage, never approach anyone you have a bad feeling about , play it safe and give yourself like they tell us at our briefing keep a maximum of 20 feet distance
I work overnight as an armed security guard and I’ve dealt with people try to kill me like this it’s no joke we gotta stay super aware and remain distant from people two arms length God bless you
I just found your channel. Extremely educational... But this body cam footage is on another level. It will stay with me for life, like so many other things ..this happened to be the first full video of yours I've watched. Thanks for giving us all survival education. It really is valuable. Edit: also, my heart hurts for his family. Rest easy Officer Hernandez.
May the road rise up to meet 🙏 Mr. Hernandez. Lord comfort his family and friends. Dear Sir Ranger. Your presence and actions are what Men are made of. Thank you isn't enough. This shook me...
This is why I feel like no officer should be alone, in the military we are taught to always have a battle buddy when you’re on missions, a partner would have made all the difference, rest in peace to officer hernandez and god bless his family and the hero veteran that stepped in
I commented this exact same thing and asp replied saying “i explained why they don’t do that there” and rewatching this video I don’t know where in the video he explained that
Absolutely. When I was on Parris Island training to become a Marine we had a recruit come into our barracks with his platoons laundry. The Drill Instructor instructed us to put him in the laundry bag and deliver him back to his barracks because he came alone. Of course, we followed command, and it was hilarious.
I was one of those who believed all the knifes in movies bs….until I found this channel. This channel has taught me more than anything one jab from a knife is almost worse than a bullet sometimes.
watching ASP has made me respect blades a lot lot more. this video only cements my fear, but also encourages me to train and be ready if i ever meet a similar situation.
No almost about it. A knife thrust is absolutely more damaging than a pistol shot, depending where they each strike of course. A knife blade is far wider than the wound channel of any handgun round.
What did you think is happening in real life when someone's having his carotid artery cut open?! You were imagining this to be like a paper cut or something like that? lol
@@who_k_nows Trust me, knives are the worst form of attack! I was stabbed 29 times while sleeping… that was 18 years ago. but the PTSD is still here. I used the duvet cover as a shield while trying to fend off two guys in the dark. One with a fishing knife, and the other with a screw driver. It was a horrific scene!!😩 By the grace of God I survived the attack. Took long to for the wounds to heal though. Just stay away from blades.
@@Alfred-Neuman please don’t act like they’ve never shown bad guys in movies getting their throats cut or stabbed in the neck to only survive in the next scene. No I was imagining it to be like the movies like I stated or were you just so comment happy you couldn’t comprehend that?
I saw this a few weeks ago and it broke my heart. I figured you were gonna cover this one and I'm glad you did, I didn't watch this time though, that's how much this affected me. Look, I don't want police to treat us like animals but I also know that they never really know who they're dealing with so distance is a big deal for me. 25 ft rule might have helped this man go home that day. Just brutal John! I've watched this channel for yrs and learned so much about the world through your videos. Thank you for the work you do reminding all of us that we are our own first responders and trust is a 5 letter word.
There's a difference between calculated caution, and being on edge. Being on edge all the time is what gets officers shooting at acorns bouncing off car roofs. They need to be able to react to potential threats like this while not escalating if at all possible. Being able to flip that switch from "normal conversation" to "Fights On" in an instant is almost a necessity now.
@@brandonschwertley2723It’s starting to become a necessity for us average joes, too. I’m not edge when out in public, but I am very observant of everything and everyone.
@@brandonschwertley2723Okay, fine, but if this cop would've walked up cautiously with his weapon drawn they would've labeled him a racist or some other BS. Officers do need to be, if not "on edge", completely aware AT ALL TIMES.
If you’re someone who reads the comments before watching a video that comes with a warning just know you’ll never forget this one. It will forever live in your mind, somewhere.
Thanks to the young Ranger who came to help. Because of him this officer did not die alone, he died in the arms of someone who cared about him and wanted him to make it. Because of the Ranger this offender could not run off and kill more innocent people and never will. If he is reading any of these posts, please know that many of us would feel lucky that you were there to help. Please allow others to help you now brother.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. I tried, but just deleted it before submitting a comment. That was a very overwhelming experience all around as a viewer, but it's crucial to disect these moments to help possibly prevent a similar situation. No one is perfect and it's really hard to say what any of us would do. Thankfully the man responsible for this senseless act was immediately dispatched. He was there for a reason far greater than I'm sure he could grasp in the moment.
The amendments aren't intended for you vs. me, but us vs. tyranny Breaks my heart to see tictokers practice it against other civilians good way to stay divided
@beetknot its intended for anyone who wants to try to take our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. But first, our defense from a tyrannical government.
Very sad. The helpers did inspire me though, they were angels and I'm glad that the victim at least had those people with him for his last few seconds even though it was too late to save him.
I completely understand that ASP feels the need to clarify that they are not picking on the deceased officer but I think we can all appreciate that they are doing their best to give us all important mental reps and lessons. Thank you
This video.. the audio alone does it for me. I’ve seen cartel videos, seen dismemberment… but hearing the officer scream, the knife, the sound of the blood spewing.. it sends chills down my spine. It really reminds you that this is real life and people go out like this. Brutal. Rip officer Jonah
Listen i have seen some stuff. Deployed during OEF, was in Fallujah in 2004.........i cant watch this video. This is a rare time that the footage and sound of blood on the body came threw me back to some places and all i can say is my heart goes out to the bystanders who had to see that in person and a salute to the Ranger that neutralize the threat quickly to protect everyone else around.
cops really all gotta start wearing neck guards, they got comfortable ones one the market. just feel sad for the officer a little distancing and better protective gear couldve saved his life
Tragic indeed. As a retired LEO from 1986-2012, I thankfully never experienced anything remotely close to this terrible situation. This video should be shown on the first day of the Police Academy. Also, it should be shown in defense of officers currently awaiting Trial in California for using Deady force on a subject with an edged weapon.
I bet you Seen alot police brutality and did nothing you care about when cops get hurt but civilians you Dont care you hipocrite every time i fell down i come to this video and i become happy agian
I've watched so many of these. I've heard the warning. I've still watched the videos and made it through just fine. But this video got me. The sounds. The voices of the people helping. It was such a reality check. Love your people. Love yourself. Everyday
@The.Nasty. Not everyone is offended by His name. Some would say all the love of self is one reason our society is crumbling. To say love Jesus first might just be what non-Christians need to hear.
@@satkinson5505 I’m not offended, I’m ex Baptist. Maybe you should focus on your own life and how you can make it better, before casting judgment on everyone else and prescribing a blanket remedy of religion. The degeneration of cultures has never been reversed by Christianity, and I don’t expect it ever will. Our problems are much more complex than that. You clearly have good intentions, I think they’re just misplaced. I have a lot of respect for Christian values, I hope I don’t come off as offensive.
I had to go take several mins after this video as I'm not going to lie this really hurt me. I'm ballin like a baby. RIP and thank you to the Ranger for doing what most wouldn't 🥺
From a law enforcement officer who comes from a law enforcement family. Thank you sir for doing your best to save this officers life. God bless you. Rest in peace officer Hernandez. Blessed are our peace makers. Praying for your family brother
My father is a retired police officer, he always said this was his worst fear on duty. Thank that Ranger for doing his best to help. RIP officer Hernandez.
Thank you for all that you do on this TH-cam channel to inform your viewers about how dangerous and unpredictable violent offenders can actually be. This opened my eyes as to how quickly things change. I don't know how many of your viewers are USCCA members or not but they did an excellent article on this very topic on page 82 of the October 2022 issue of concealed carry magazine. If the magazine isn't available they more than likely have it on the USCCA website blog. The article is called "Beyond all reason." I highly recommend the article to those who haven't read it yet. Anytime a person encounters a mentally ill or drugged out person the best advice I can give them is to just keep their distance and stay away. Expect the unexpected and never assume that they aren't armed or won't cause a problem because they very likely could be. Always assume that they do have a weapon. God bless you man.
You can tell that the Ranger was partially in shock. I'm glad their was some instant justice, but terrified it even happened. I also do NOT buy the story about the cause being fentanyl. That man was looking to kill. He wasn't hallucinating, or having some kind of episode. He was just trying to give himself an out later as a means of lawfare. He just didn't count on that ranger being there, and armed.
Same..I could not stop myself from wincing, gritting my teeth and getting chills all over. This was probably the worst police footage I've seen since Kyle Dinkheller. I'm glad the scumbag didn't get away with it but that isn't going to bring Officer Hernandez back. May he RIP. Knives can be just as scary as guns and too many people underestimate them. I already know this footage is going to stay with me for awhile.
I myself am a regular ASP-viewer and I’ve seen many things, but this batch cam is without a doubt the most crazy I’ve seen on this channel and in my life.
Damn, this is so.....😢 Im glad somebody was there for officer Hernandez's last moments. I can't imagine what the hero must be going through. Prayers go out to all involved. Its sad to say but I'd rather be sad than be dead, keep your distance from strangers. Thank you to this channel for your insight and valuable information. Rest in paradise brother Hernandez.
Whoever came up with the idea of this channel is truly a hero in the eyes of millions of people around the world. Thank you Johny and Willever for your teachings
Thank you for your service officer Hernandez. Incredibly sorry for the loss his family endured. And thank you Isaiah for your service and your bravery.
This is the only ASP video I’ve watched that broke me to tears. I’m not saying I’ve been in a similar situation, but having witnessed and helped my fiance through numerous epileptic seizures, I could feel the panic in the Army Ranger’s voice and demeanor trying to render first aid. What a hero. And RIP officer Hernandez. This really was brutal to the psyche.
@@16ft2innot even I do it and I’m a guard on skid row I deal with guys like this constantly always got my hand on my taser and my other on my lethal ready to go
Saw this bodycam once, never again. I only noticed the thumbnail, so I came here and instantly paused. I have no bias againt this channel for refusing to watch, I only wish for everyone that did watch to remember how amazing a man Officer Hernandez was for a minute.
I have been watching Active Self Protection for the last 5 years and not one video has ever been more eye-opening and sobering than this one. I have seen horrific executions and dismemberments… but with this one… I have no words. I can’t bring myself to watch it again. God bless Officer Hernandez’s soul. Unbelievable job by Mr. Astorga. Can’t imagine what he’s going through.
Yea it was. God, dude I'm not a cop fan because the amount of people that abuse that power. But I don't know this officer and hearing the pain he was going through was so heart wrenching. I hope he can find peace and especially his family. So fuckin sad I hope they can move on with his memory in their hearts
Your not a cop fan because whatever your exposing yourself to. Most are good people. Some are living with ptsd and other traumas, and sometimes it changes them. It wouldn't be as bad if the community provided more support to our sheepdogs and contributed to the effort so we can have a healthier society.
Cuz you live in America. In EU this did like never happened before but now with all the muslims here its 250% higher than before that you will get stabbed...
On the bright side he didn't suffer for long. The carotid artery is a major artery that supplies blood flow to the brain. He lost consciousness within seconds.
This is one of the most graphic pieces of body cam footage I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. I’m surprised there’s not a “graphic content warning” pop up before clicking on it.
He's dead! and now this video is nothing more than a money machine for this youtuber and others.. Prayers for this channel get an education on right and wrong. This is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! delete it now!!!!!!
I can't believe a human being has the capacity to kill someone like this and for no real reason. Even if he was off his meds or under the influence of a substance; how can you take someone's life in such a gruesome way is beyond my understanding.
I've survived a carotid artier injury. Barely survived, butI managed. it's a lot of blood just as depicted in this video. For what it's worth, I tried to keep my chin tucked to my chest and cover the injury the. best I could with my hand, while trying to lower my heart rate and blood pressure.I tried to lay myself down in a place where I would be seen. Next I prioritized whatI would tell a bystander, which was to phone E.M.S. and give a precise address. know your blood type so you can be getting blood transfusions as soon as possible.I managed to survive, but my situation was not as bad as the officer in the video, butI hope my experience can save someones life. Your life flashes before your eyes and you realize the more important things in life at that moment.✨🙏

yep, that sound generally means you're f**ked. devastating injuries and *very* tough to watch, esp. having seen similar wounds irl (2/3 with the same outcome, seeing this gives me chills...)
even with EMTs already on scene surviving that kind of arterial bleeding is slim at best. horrible, horrible way to go out, and no doubt the serious ptsd for the surviving hero.
Could you use pressure to try and just completely cut the flow to that side and rely on the other side to keep him alive for the moment?
This is a reach here but hear me out, maybe a doctor might know. Assuming it was only one carotid that was transected, and that's a big assumption I admit, would it have been possible to use hemostatic clamps to stabilize the bleeding had the wound been accessible?
I’m a fam med doc, salute to you for dealing with all the sh!t that rolls through the doors!!
Crazy how it went from “just another call” to “dead” in ~30 seconds.
Also wanted to add, glad the doped up knife wielder didn’t have the brain to go for the cops gun and get in a LEGIT gun fight with the defender. Props to him for eliminating the threat but glad that threat wasn’t the brightest bulb.
and people wonder why cops put their hands on their guns....
The life of a police officer
Under trained
Slow response
Sometimes its instant death and you didnt even realize it. How many cops have been ambushed in their patrol cars during lunch, how many shooters have walked up to civilians and get shot in the head. Sometimes its even a car crash…pray for forgiveness and protection everyday. Get right with people you love because it could be your last time.
RIP Officer Hernadez. That Army Ranger is the epitome of a HERO. Thank you sir, you have my absolute respect.
I'm an Ex Paramedic. I've dealt with some very difficult things including murders. this has me in floods of tears. I know the effect on all involved. The guy who helped is a Hero
Dispatcher here and I could say the same
As a Marine combat veteran, I can tell you the first time that Ranger turned his head and said f**k he knew the outcome. He never took his hand off, that guy is a warrior!
Semper Fi
That gut wrenching feeling..........at least that Ranger gave the Officer some ember of hope and company by the time his last breath was taken.
Hell yeah
Rangers lead the way!
Damn this sucks. Damn that was difficult seeing and hearing it
I’m a retired Police Officer and i wanna believe I’ve seen just about everything. This one got me so emotional and super angry. May our brother Officer Hernandez rest in eternal peace and may God bless his family and grant them peace. Ranger Astorga may God bless you in many ways. You are a true hero. In every meaning of the word. Thank you for your services and for being there for Officer Hernandez during his last moments here. God Bless you sir
Brother it choked me up . I’m pretty tuff and just sat In my unit and cried . Smh worse shit I’ve ever seen I’ve been on 20 years
@daplug5470 stay safe out there. And thank you
Shit made my blood boil as well.
Yea this one really made me mad. And sad. If he could’ve side stepped but I don’t even know it all happened so damn quick.
Same... Hard to watch
This was by far one of the most savage things i saw in my life probably. To hear the sound of the stab, blood dropping and the breath of the officer is wild. Mad respect for the veteran.
As a civilian, I’ve learned so much from this Channel! Thank you for showing the harsh, brutal reality on how a situation can go from 0-100 quick! Every Law Enforcement Officer should be shown THIS video! It will save lives.

John and/or Mike... question...?
Considering that Officer Hernandez had already closed to within that 21 foot danger zone on that dirt-bag, once he saw the knife, would Officer Henandez been better off rushing the perpetrator instead of retreating...?
Serious question, so please don't roast me...
Absolutely!!!! Horrific footage but so important lessons!!!! 😢
YT takrs it down. Time to go to NY and pay them a visit.
The Ranger gave him the last gift this poor man could have received. Instant justice. At least his family doesn’t have to sit through the court proceedings for this waste of space. This is horrible, but he did everything he could and he did it well. Thank you Mr. Ranger, and thank you Mr. Officer. Rest in Peace. This really brings home the sacrifice they make every day.
Well said!
Honestly this is something I didn’t even think of but is so true. With the way society is headed and many of the criminal “justice” systems handle these situations it would have been absolutely gut wrenching to find out if that idiot skid mark of a human would have gotten anything less then the chair. Rest in eternal peace officer Hernandez and thank you for your service to the community of las cruces…
Man I have no words. Thankfully the ranger was there. The family doesn't have to relive this in trial and the guy trying to plead insanity or something.
I don’t think the guy was hi outta his mind either, he talked very clearly! I think he was pure evil and now he’s spending eternity in the worst torture ever in hell! And he went their immediately!
This is the most horrific video I've seen and heard. You can literally hear his blood pouring out of his neck. A guy just trying to do his job, killed for nothing. What an absolute tragedy. Props to the Army Ranger. What an outstanding and compassionate human being. The world needs more people like him.
The blood you’re hearing pouring is coming out of his mouth. He’s still breathing and you can hear it pass through his nose and lips.
This is the ONLY video I've EVER watched that has me literally trembling. Anger, sadness, everything. My condolences to the officer and his family.
Never seen a more horrifying example of the necessity to maintain distance from people
Tellement vrai.
It was awful, I watched the beginning again, the officer walked up way to close to him in the beginning, he should have stayed back to see where this was going! Iv watched several videos of this same scene but cops had plenty of distance to blast them!
And he clearly has something clutched in his hands.
21 feet for a reason indeed..RIP to the officer.
That's a sound you will never forget.
I have heard and seen some messed up stuff online but ya I think this one is gonna stick with me for while totally different when you can hear it from a body cam.
I cant even listen to the sounds anymore. I've heard them too much
Which is precisely why i've elected to skip this one. Some of these are too brutal. The one with the snowy driveway and the couple that was killed showed me that i can't handle some of this stuff.
@@EQOAnostalgianever bring a wife to a gunfight

The snowy driveway changed me forever. I talk to my neighbors now and share that story with them. I even take them gifts occasionally.
So sorry to the officer's family man. This is just heartbreaking. And to the bystander, god bless your soul, sir!
Bless those people for stopping to help.
Man as an officer myself this video tore me to shreds. It’s an eye opener. I try not to treat every situation like some high intensity encounter. But one thing this has really driven home to me is just maintaining distance. We don’t have to get close to have a conversation. They could have talked from about 20 feet away just fine. Could have possibly given him a couple extra seconds to process and react. This was heartbreaking. RIP to the officer. And to the Ranger…good on you. You deserve recognition for your bravery.
thats what i used to tell my fellow officers DO NOT take anything lightly! Don't go fully throttle off the bat but never underestimate either
Distance and accessing the situation. Every time! Besides why get so close to people that are obviously homeless and stink?
STOP ALLOWING OTHER PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF AMERICA BE HERE THATS WHATS WRONG WOTH OUR COUNTRY
@@dreadnaughttactical💯% agree
Keep safe out there man. That was a brutal way to go.
Ah yes... The frequent flyer. Someone should do a study on how many contacts, effort, and money is spent dealing with the same losers over and over again. Judges and prosecutors who keep letting people like this out, should be removed from office!
Forcibly removed.
They should be charged with reckless endangerment of the public, and for the murder of this police officer.
From earth*
Judges and prosecutors enforce state laws....they do not make up sentencing guidelines.....you don't like them , work to change them- why is 8 out of 10 of these repeat offender videos from " hard on crime" red states?
Well, it is New Mexico. The governor at least aspires to put a "hold" on carrying firearms, so I'm sure no-bail,etc. reforms are on her to-do list... just sayin'.
what a heart break. the gentleman who helped him, thank you. you represent all that good men aspire to be when the moment calls
I’m in tears for this officer, the bystander & the families affected by this tragedy. My heart goes out to them

That sound- of blood while trying to breathe, and the sound of the heart literally pumping out that volume of blood and splashing sound was something that stopped me in my tracks. I’ve never heard that before. This has to be the most shocking asp video. Rip office and that ranger is a hero as mentioned.
shit has my chest turning bro, horrible
Same
As soon as he said he got his carotid, I knew that sound was likely going to be in play so I turned the volume off before I watched the body cam... Some things you just can't unsee and you can't unhear.
Imagine a battlefield when they fought with swords and hammers 😮
Yea this one was rough. I think seeing/hearing it from the officer's perspective also made it harder to watch.
I really appreciate the way you guys took a real and humble approach to this. Ive been involved in situations and no matter how much training one has sometimes it isnt enough and when its real, its different. For all the arm chair quarterbacks talking about how "they" would have handled it, they will see when it happens. Half the battle is the ability to react and perform at all. Please respond with caution responders....people have the right to be assumed innocent and not harassed. But you need to be ready for the "one" that is not innocent. It happens. I have seen the results. Please treat people with respect and stand up for their rights, but your life is first. Its a tough job.
Well said
Good lesson. "Distance buys you time, time buys you options." But, a very sad situation. I wish the best to his Family and my condolences.
The Army Ranger was just seconds behind, he is a pure hero/angel, I wish him peace and my prayers go out to the slain officers family.
When seconds count, the police are zero seconds away. No... wait...
He was never gonna be able to stop it so theres no point in even saying that. It happened way too fast. Literally less than 5 seconds and the officer is done.
@@user-qb9fv3bf2d Still don't take away from the fact that he acted and did what he had to do, when most people are cowards.

Truly truly so heartbreaking. God bless his family. This really shows the face of evil in this world.
First time I have ever cried watching ASP. Watched every single one. Cannot imagine the memories this put in one of our vets, that should have never had to experience this feeling, sound and visual on American soil.
Oh, I am here for your comment because I did as well. Heartbreaking for him, his family, and the people that were there for him.
I too. Hopefully the officer was ready to enter eternity, Jesus is the only way, truth and life.

We went over this video for training at work. As an officer who worked in a downtown area and has dealt with HUNDREDS of homeless, I learned one thing, they all have some sort of blade. Our training was why the officers approached nonchalantly with his hands in his vest. If you look, his one arm got stuck in vest when he fell. If he would've kept his distance and not been worried about being "mean" or coming off "rude," He may still be with us. RIP to this brother in blue.
@xXTonyBolognaXx - Retired a few years back and this stuff still teaches me so I can watch out for you guys still working. Stay safe brother
exactly, those drugs make people sick. It's like a raccoon with rabies. if they look sick approach with caution
That's why cops shouldn't be expected to be "cool" or "nice", and it's unfortunate that society now in days complain when cops are straight forward
When being politically correct goes wrong
All homeless dudes carry blades or some sort of weapon. I've seen it so many times.
Boy you weren't kidding about viewer discretion advised. This one will stick with me. Prayers for this officer and his family. I definitely learned a lot from this one.
This one was the toughest one to see and I consider myself "desensitived" to these videos. God bless the family of the officer and the bystander who tried to save his life
This citizen is an absolute mega hero.
Took the bad guy out and did everything he could to help the LEO.
Damn...
As an armed security officer who works the night shift and deals with homeless people all the time . Watching this gives me the chills, remember distance is your only advantage, never approach anyone you have a bad feeling about , play it safe and give yourself like they tell us at our briefing keep a maximum of 20 feet distance
I work overnight as an armed security guard and I’ve dealt with people try to kill me like this it’s no joke we gotta stay super aware and remain distant from people two arms length God bless you
At that distance
Same here, I’m about to be armed guard too, this made me paranoid
20 feet is not that far. I'd say 15-20 yards in a situation like this.
Same here fam, working armed security night shift for the federal government. This was very hard to watch, stay vigilant and be aware family.
I just found your channel. Extremely educational... But this body cam footage is on another level. It will stay with me for life, like so many other things ..this happened to be the first full video of yours I've watched.
Thanks for giving us all survival education. It really is valuable.
Edit: also, my heart hurts for his family. Rest easy Officer Hernandez.
May the road rise up to meet 🙏 Mr. Hernandez. Lord comfort his family and friends.
Dear Sir Ranger. Your presence and actions are what Men are made of. Thank you isn't enough.

This is why I feel like no officer should be alone, in the military we are taught to always have a battle buddy when you’re on missions, a partner would have made all the difference, rest in peace to officer hernandez and god bless his family and the hero veteran that stepped in
I agree. They need to partner up and I for one understand my taxes may rise a bit.
I commented this exact same thing and asp replied saying “i explained why they don’t do that there” and rewatching this video I don’t know where in the video he explained that
@@FactoryOldFork1:40 they don't have the manpower
Absolutely. When I was on Parris Island training to become a Marine we had a recruit come into our barracks with his platoons laundry. The Drill Instructor instructed us to put him in the laundry bag and deliver him back to his barracks because he came alone. Of course, we followed command, and it was hilarious.
@@bigbrotherwatchessst thanks 👍
I was one of those who believed all the knifes in movies bs….until I found this channel. This channel has taught me more than anything one jab from a knife is almost worse than a bullet sometimes.
watching ASP has made me respect blades a lot lot more. this video only cements my fear, but also encourages me to train and be ready if i ever meet a similar situation.
No almost about it. A knife thrust is absolutely more damaging than a pistol shot, depending where they each strike of course. A knife blade is far wider than the wound channel of any handgun round.
What did you think is happening in real life when someone's having his carotid artery cut open?!
You were imagining this to be like a paper cut or something like that? lol
@@who_k_nows Trust me, knives are the worst form of attack! I was stabbed 29 times while sleeping… that was 18 years ago. but the PTSD is still here. I used the duvet cover as a shield while trying to fend off two guys in the dark. One with a fishing knife, and the other with a screw driver. It was a horrific scene!!😩 By the grace of God I survived the attack. Took long to for the wounds to heal though. Just stay away from blades.
@@Alfred-Neuman please don’t act like they’ve never shown bad guys in movies getting their throats cut or stabbed in the neck to only survive in the next scene.

super heart wrenching. may that officer rest in peace
I saw this a few weeks ago and it broke my heart. I figured you were gonna cover this one and I'm glad you did, I didn't watch this time though, that's how much this affected me. Look, I don't want police to treat us like animals but I also know that they never really know who they're dealing with so distance is a big deal for me. 25 ft rule might have helped this man go home that day. Just brutal John! I've watched this channel for yrs and learned so much about the world through your videos. Thank you for the work you do reminding all of us that we are our own first responders and trust is a 5 letter word.
This is why officers are always on edge with any encounter because you don’t know who is crazy and who isnt
There's a difference between calculated caution, and being on edge. Being on edge all the time is what gets officers shooting at acorns bouncing off car roofs. They need to be able to react to potential threats like this while not escalating if at all possible. Being able to flip that switch from "normal conversation" to "Fights On" in an instant is almost a necessity now.
@@brandonschwertley2723It’s starting to become a necessity for us average joes, too. I’m not edge when out in public, but I am very observant of everything and everyone.

@@brandonschwertley2723Okay, fine, but if this cop would've walked up cautiously with his weapon drawn they would've labeled him a racist or some other BS. Officers do need to be, if not "on edge", completely aware AT ALL TIMES.

The level of emotional fitness these helpers show is astounding I would try to hold my composure the best I could but never that well...

This is a very sad video, I hate that the officer passed away but i am grateful he was not alone
If you’re someone who reads the comments before watching a video that comes with a warning just know you’ll never forget this one. It will forever live in your mind, somewhere.
I'm grieved just reading the comments
Thanks to the young Ranger who came to help. Because of him this officer did not die alone, he died in the arms of someone who cared about him and wanted him to make it. Because of the Ranger this offender could not run off and kill more innocent people and never will. If he is reading any of these posts, please know that many of us would feel lucky that you were there to help. Please allow others to help you now brother.
Couldn't have said it any better myself. I tried, but just deleted it before submitting a comment. That was a very overwhelming experience all around as a viewer, but it's crucial to disect these moments to help possibly prevent a similar situation. No one is perfect and it's really hard to say what any of us would do. Thankfully the man responsible for this senseless act was immediately dispatched. He was there for a reason far greater than I'm sure he could grasp in the moment.

It could have been but our officer let his guard down and got WAY too close to an unknown threat.
cops really all gotta start wearing neck guards, they got comfortable ones one the market. just feel sad for the officer a little distancing and better protective gear couldve saved his life

Thank you for all that you do on this TH-cam channel to inform your viewers about how dangerous and unpredictable violent offenders can actually be. This opened my eyes as to how quickly things change. I don't know how many of your viewers are USCCA members or not but they did an excellent article on this very topic on page 82 of the October 2022 issue of concealed carry magazine. If the magazine isn't available they more than likely have it on the USCCA website blog. The article is called "Beyond all reason."
I highly recommend the article to those who haven't read it yet. Anytime a person encounters a mentally ill or drugged out person the best advice I can give them is to just keep their distance and stay away. Expect the unexpected and never assume that they aren't armed or won't cause a problem because they very likely could be. Always assume that they do have a weapon.
God bless you man.
One of the toughest videos I’ve ever watched on your channel. Heartbreaking outcome but that guy that stepped in was a hero. RIP officer.
You can tell that the Ranger was partially in shock. I'm glad their was some instant justice, but terrified it even happened. I also do NOT buy the story about the cause being fentanyl. That man was looking to kill. He wasn't hallucinating, or having some kind of episode. He was just trying to give himself an out later as a means of lawfare. He just didn't count on that ranger being there, and armed.
Agreed. Tough to watch. Rest in peace brother.
Damn. You weren’t kidding with this one. RIP. Hearing the blood gush on the body cam audio is haunting.
And him gagging on it so horrific I will never forget that either

Amen.
This Man is a true Hero, and should Be deemed as that as such, an AMERICAN HERO. My Deepest condolences to Officer Hernandez and his Family 🙏🏽🇺🇸
This is the only ASP video I’ve watched that broke me to tears. I’m not saying I’ve been in a similar situation, but having witnessed and helped my fiance through numerous epileptic seizures, I could feel the panic in the Army Ranger’s voice and demeanor trying to render first aid. What a hero. And RIP officer Hernandez. This really was brutal to the psyche.
Hands down the hardest badge cam I've ever watched... some really hard lessons to learn here... thanks for the lessons
The only one even comparable to this one is the cop that was setup by homeland security and got executed on the side of the highway
@@imanoldurango8213the fuck is that one
@@imanoldurango8213yeah. Both were pretty bad. If I remember correctly, he was shot like 9 or 10 times point blank. 2 shots to the head.
Omg ! He tripped! That 21 ft rule is shown right here. Rest in peace. So hard
My first though was "Why is he walking so close to the end of that wall to his right?"
@@16ft2innot even I do it and I’m a guard on skid row I deal with guys like this constantly always got my hand on my taser and my other on my lethal ready to go
Saw this bodycam once, never again. I only noticed the thumbnail, so I came here and instantly paused.
I have no bias againt this channel for refusing to watch, I only wish for everyone that did watch to remember how amazing a man Officer Hernandez was for a minute.
How does this video not require any confirmations? This is one of the most graphic videos that has been uploaded
I have been watching Active Self Protection for the last 5 years and not one video has ever been more eye-opening and sobering than this one. I have seen horrific executions and dismemberments… but with this one… I have no words. I can’t bring myself to watch it again.
God bless Officer Hernandez’s soul. Unbelievable job by Mr. Astorga. Can’t imagine what he’s going through.
Yea it was. God, dude I'm not a cop fan because the amount of people that abuse that power. But I don't know this officer and hearing the pain he was going through was so heart wrenching. I hope he can find peace and especially his family. So fuckin sad I hope they can move on with his memory in their hearts
Your not a cop fan because whatever your exposing yourself to. Most are good people. Some are living with ptsd and other traumas, and sometimes it changes them. It wouldn't be as bad if the community provided more support to our sheepdogs and contributed to the effort so we can have a healthier society.
@@codyshmodiedid you just say cops with PTSD?! If so that does not sound like a good mixture
@@EddieTheHorrorAddict somones gotta deal with the worst of society it's a human reaction.
Bro I about passed out from this one. Take those warnings seriously and Rest in Peace to that brave officer.
The sound of officer gushing out blood was really hard to handle
Perhaps too nice to be a cop. More EMS type perhaps.
I think I'll appreciate that I got to wake up another day. RIP Officer Hernandez
Cuz you live in America. In EU this did like never happened before but now with all the muslims here its 250% higher than before that you will get stabbed...
Out of all the bodycams I’ve watched I think this one hit me the most. My condolences go out to his family.
Same here. Peace to you. I hope you're okay after seeing this. Rip officer Hernandez.
Yeah this is absolutely horrible. Something told me not to watch it, man. Rest in peace to Mr Hernandez.
On the bright side he didn't suffer for long. The carotid artery is a major artery that supplies blood flow to the brain. He lost consciousness within seconds.
It's extremely difficult to watch
This is one of the most graphic pieces of body cam footage I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. I’m surprised there’s not a “graphic content warning” pop up before clicking on it.
probably will be in the next hour
oh it takes a lot for asp to get flagged, they don't care
That's because the commie YT fucks love letting people watch stuff like this happen to cops
Exactly a comment I expect from someone called "laughy flaaffy"
@@christiansanchez9118sir, you have no idea what a flaaffy is, so shush your mouth.
Thanks John and mike for your show and knowledge keep up the good fight
Officer Hernandez may God bless you for just doing you're job.
Im in tears. RIP to the brave officer. I guess I do have a tender heart. Thank you John. We need to see this.
Why do we NEED to see this?
Bless the man for stepping in. Prayers to this officer and his family. 🙏
He's dead! and now this video is nothing more than a money machine for this youtuber and others.. Prayers for this channel get an education on right and wrong. This is WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! delete it now!!!!!!
Omg. I thought I had a strong stomach but I actually teared up.
My condolences
I can't believe a human being has the capacity to kill someone like this and for no real reason. Even if he was off his meds or under the influence of a substance; how can you take someone's life in such a gruesome way is beyond my understanding.
Meth psychosis. They can completely lose their mind and It can last for days or weeks after coming down off the drug. That was not fentanyl.
That is hands down one of the most brutal audios from a body cam I’ve ever heard. Legit made me tear up.
I've survived a carotid artier injury. Barely survived, butI managed. it's a lot of blood just as depicted in this video. For what it's worth, I tried to keep my chin tucked to my chest and cover the injury the. best I could with my hand, while trying to lower my heart rate and blood pressure.I tried to lay myself down in a place where I would be seen. Next I prioritized whatI would tell a bystander, which was to phone E.M.S. and give a precise address. know your blood type so you can be getting blood transfusions as soon as possible.I managed to survive, but my situation was not as bad as the officer in the video, butI hope my experience can save someones life. Your life flashes before your eyes and you realize the more important things in life at that moment.✨🙏
