Officer-Involved Shooting: A Cop’s Perspective on Split-Second Decisions

from Walking That Mile · host Steve Loomis

The split-second decisions made by law enforcement are rarely understood by those who haven't worn the badge. Today, we’re looking at the March 9th Chicago Humboldt Park shooting with a tactical eye.In this uncut bodycam and surveillance breakdown, I analyze the intense moment Derek Jordan attempted to ram his vehicle through a crowded street, leading to an officer-involved shooting. As a member of law enforcement, I’m breaking down the specific actions of Officer Walser—from the moment he was knocked to the ground to the six precise shots fired to stop the threat.In this video, we cover:✅ The tactical "why" behind the use of force.✅ A breakdown of Officer Walser’s positioning and clear line of fire.✅ The "done with work" policy: Why officers are immediately removed from the scene.✅ The legal and political fallout, including the $27M attorney and potential conflicts of interest at City Hall.This isn't just a news clip; it’s an analysis from the perspective of a father and a cop. We look at the facts, the footage, and the reality of life-and-death encounters on the street.Timestamps:0:00 - Incident Overview: Homan & West Chicago Ave2:11 - The Officer Knocked Down: Understanding the Threat23:45 - Tactical Analysis: Why Walser Fired29:21 - The Legal Battle: Crump, settlements, and Mayor Johnson39:28 - Administrative Leave: What happens next for the officer?What’s your take on the tactical positioning shown here?
