When Cops Face Overpowered Criminals
from TruRed CRIME Hosted by TrueRed CRIME
A routine traffic stop turns into a firefight. A suspect on drugs shrugs off tasers and pepper spray. A killer with military training outmaneuvers a dozen officers. Sometimes, the badge is not enough. In this episode, we examine cases where law enforcement encountered suspects who seemed unstoppable. From the North Hollywood shootout, where two heavily armed men wearing body armor exchanged hundreds of rounds with police, to suspects under the influence of PCP who continued fighting after being shot multiple times. We look at the evolution of police tactics and equipment in response to these threats, and the officers who survived against impossible odds. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because when criminals overpower cops, every second is a battle for survival.
