  • My heart goes out to you for all the pain and suffering you have endured for us as US citizens. Thank You for your giving up a lame mans life to fight for our rights. May god Bless you and every soul you touch.

  • those officers showed amazing restraint very professional im glad everything was resolved and hes doing good

  • the tazer was not necessary. stuipd cop!!!

  • They need to help these suicidal people, with their suicide. Ie t should be legal to kill somebody,if they want it.

  • Thats the funniest thing in the world, after the man surrenders they taze the fuck outta him... hahahahhaha

  • I hope that fat fucking pig feels really good for tazing a fucking hero.

  • Aw he called his dog lucky ;')

  • @robopsycology way to add fuel to a fire.. very ignorant of you.. this is a total different situation... these cops deal with different type of people obviously.. and i know personally a few white people who have been shot at and abused by law enforcment officers.. but way to play race card hypocrite

  • now compare to this video /watch?v=0ofdBTlKqxk

  • From a soldier to a soldier, I'm glad u didn't do anything crazy. Get better Brock, HOOAH?

  • Hahaha...that's why I obey law enforcement. I would imagine that getting tazed wouldnt feel very good. At least he turned his life around tho.

  • If he was a black guy in, lets say Texas, would he still be alive?

  • @robopsychology If he were black and it were in any urban area or in places like Texas or Florida, he most definately would not be alive. Furthermore even if they didn't kill him, they would have beat the crap out of him and then buried his ass under the jail.

  • @robopsychology If he were black and it were in any urban area or in places like Texas or Florida, he most definately would not be alive. Furthermore even if they didn't kill him, they would have beat the crap out of him and then buried his ass under the jail and threw away the key.

  • @robopsychology good question.

  • FUCK ALL POLICE. I have PTSD so i can relate to Mr. Savelkoul, the only difference is that even though i am also a solider i never got PTSD from the war, I got it from the actions of the Police. One day i was sitting at home and the next thing i knew my home was surrounded, i was kidnapped at gun point and tossed in a prison cell for 2 weeks all for NOTHING.  I lost my military career because of it. Anyone who dons that blue uniform can go fuck themselves.

  • @JohnMuise you tellem! Fuck tha police!

  • @JohnMuise lol! loser

  • if this was in Houston that guy would be dead now

  • If you want to buy a pair of pants, you don't go to the butcher right? And when you want a kilo of beef, you wouldn't go to a library and get it from there? In the same way, if you want to learn the Truth about Islam, get it from the Muslims themselves. : ) Youtube:

    THE ORIGINAL CALL PROJECT - TABLE OF CONTENTS

  • like i said if he was black he woulda got shot

  • I'm a vet, I went nuts and it just happens,especially the adrenaline your body wants.My uncle is a vietnam vet he went nuts too.It's a rush I try to manage.And memories just trigger strange actions.I used to be a normal guy before the Army, now i'm always shaky and irritable .I used to like people.Not anymore.I hate feeling like a target everywhere I go.I know the military changed me sure is shit.

  • war does great things, right?

  • @lucasmoua09 Fuck off you peacenik pussy.

  • @tripleheshy the fuck is a peacenik? Who the fuck uses the word, peacenik? What are you, 40?

  • @lucasmoua09 40+ and yes, that describes dipshits like you perfectly.

  • @tripleheshy my comment is purely opinion. If you don't like it, deal with it, comment on it, cause that's what mature people do. But getting aggressive on the internet? Simmer down, brother. If you're 40+ and not a dipshit like me, shouldn't you be more clean-cut with your words? Sheesh. You smell that? I smell a flame war starting with you and me, so I'm just gonna back off before ripples turn into tidal waves. Have a nice day, yeah?

  • He got into drugs in thailand to be honest

  • god... fucking police... assholes...

  • @iamtheyi lol. yea f'n police. no reason why we shouldn't be able to roll around strapped pointin our guns at peeps. I mean dam, not like he had 6 guns or somethin....

  • @SIdwell777 ... he didn't have a weapon... I'm pretty sure it'd be an easy take down... cops are Bitches.

  • @FourKicksOG are you fuckin blind? or do you just have down syndrome

  • @Sandbox1108 6:37 why does he look unarmed?

  • @FourKicksOG you can look unarmed but do you know what concealed weapons are? They defused the situation without anyone getting hurt. The fact that you cant see past them tazing the guy makes you sound ignorant.

  • @Sandbox1108 it only seems like i can't see past the cops tazing him I really don't care about this video. I just believe that this could could set a precedence if taken to court for law enforcement to calm to fuck down and be issued less than lethal weapons w/ knowledge.

  • I wonder what the outcome would have been if he wasn't white.

  • @uwerewarned1 I don't think a Judge would agree with that.

  • That female cop is walking like a retard while approaching the guy with the gun. What's up with that?

  • I wonder what would have happen if the guy was a Black dude or a Mexican?

  • Brock Savelkoul, i salute you.

  • The dude was crazy and had a fuck load of guns. They didn't know what he was going to do.

    I would of tazed the fucker too.

  • It's interesting how the felonies were dropped. I think the Federal prosecutor saw "purple heart decorated soldier" and cut a deal. This wouldn't happen for anyone else, and this guy should have been charged and thrown in jail, especially after he pointed a loaded firearm at a person in that store. He was one trigger pull from a murder. They say justice is blind, but clearly it's not.

  • Cops after tazering: "rawr rarw fghark garrr rahhhh rabble rabble raagh ragh"

  • I dont care if anyone disagrees with me...the US needs to get of Iraq and Afghanistan to prevent more US Soldiers to become like Brock Savelkoul coming home feeling like a stranger because he/she has PTSD, and those men & women are Traumatized from all the killings they have witnessed more than anyone one else that have never served in Combat, I myself have never served in the Military, but I do wish they would come home from all the Current Insanity that is happening now in Afghanistan.

  • but suicide is never a way out. "Tuff times never last, but Tuff people do."

  • Dont say fuck the cops on this they saved this poor soldiers life. yeah it LOOKED like he was going to surrender but dont forget he was driving around on a goose chase for im sure hours and then was pacing back in forth like a mad man (no disrespect). but sure it wasn't pretty to watch. but its either volts or a bullet think about it. what if he would of just tweaked back into his unstable mode and pull a knife on her. he's trained for stuff like that.god bless him and for what he has done

  • This vid does not change my mind about the law enforcement. If Brock's skin color wasn't white it will be a very different ending. Nice try, but the properganda doesnt work!

  • this is so fucked up, fuck the police!

  • I'm usually one to side with the criminal on controversies like this. But the man is lucky they didn't shoot him dead. The officer probably figured better to taze him and be sure it's safe, then have to shoot him if he does anything sketchy.

  • I love how some people have made this a race issue... and you wonder why. Keep pulling that card you're only holding yourself back.

  • God Bless that man.

  • HAHAHA

    

  • NICE.

    

  • i cant belive people are actually saying shit like police brutality. in my opinion they were incredibly patient, and thank god for that...Brock could have easily been killed. grow up children! These cops were just doing their job...its not like they get paid a ton or anything..they put their lives on the line. think before you speak. please. quit littering the world with your useless brain garbabge. peace

  • Well that was unnecesary.

  • I don't think it was police brutality at all... After all he was carrying a gun in his hand and not following directions.

  • probabley some weak fucking fag

  • @Chairde He was tazed because he had multiple weapons on him and brandishing it infront of the officers, I have nothing against veterans but you dont pull out guns on cops without reprocusions.

  • This guy get luck for being Caucasian, and that is my observation. I bet if that was black guy, he probably would been shot or die for just carrying wallet in his hand not gun.

  • there was no reason to taze him if that was me that got tazed i would want to shoot those fucking cops

  • @ps3inthezone21 You should be safe. I doubt they will raid your mom's basement.

  • @aplekore haha thats funny 

  • search screaming spider web for a good laugh

  • when i think of law enforcement i think of pigs and funny people :O

  • Wow what a dick!

  • Wow seriously America is full of retards. This guy went around town pointing his gun at people. Then he leads police on a high speed pursuit and gets out of his car with a gun in hand. The police exercise GREAT discipline and don't shoot. They taze the guy and you have people saying it was unnecessary...ya lets take the crazy persons side...

  • @Sandbox1108 The cops did the right thing in this case, but what happened to Rodney King and so many others (especially black men) was unnecessary and excessive.

  • @Sandbox1108 if you cant see both sides your a fucking fool, do you even know what war does to people? You a damn idiot....

  • @MrRiggyRiggs so basically you are saying it's okay for him to go around town terrorizing people because he went through a war?

  • Everyone is lucky that no one got shot. If he wanted to he could have taken out half those cops before he left the truck.

    When military force meets police force, police die first.

  • @LiveToThink Yea cuz we all know that police never serve in the military. He prolly woulda taken half of em out with a swiss army knife too.

  • @aplekore Sorry to make you feel so insecure about your civilian badge. Military training is FAR different than police training. Military approach is surprise with violence of action and move forward. Police approach is almost fully reactive.

    Proactive vs Reactive in a fight means proactive has advantage from the outset.

  • @LiveToThink You should read what I said or change your tag name. There are alot of current or ex-military that serve in law enforcement. I'm retired Army, so I'm well aware of tactics. Military approach is a broad stroke and depends greatly on the mission. I found myself being reactive at times while deployed. Yes action will always be faster than reaction, but any decent agency will be proactive in its efforts or crime will run rampant. Just be cool and say F the police like everyone else.

  • oh fuck!!! he had an AR 15!!!??

    THATS MY FAVORITE GUN!!!

    THE COMANDO FRUM BLACK OPS

  • good video is the . RB - FEEL THE MOVEMENT

    .

    .

    .

  • Oh come on people, they were out there for several hours, in the dark, with a mentally unstable person, that cop had a spilit second to decide whether or not he was given up or was luring the cops into a trap. This guy went off the rails and ran around with military grade weaponry and all he got out of it is a painful experience with a stun gun, he is now on the road to recovery

  • The tazer was necessary... did you guys not WATCH the whole video? just because this bitch made it heartfelt doesnt mean you pussies need to go that way. there were cops lives at risk and tazering is a very harmless, and effective way to get him under control.

  • if it is only semi-automatic it is not an assault rifle...stupid media.

    IT HAS TO BE ABLE TO FIRE AT LEAST THREE ROUNDS WITH ONE TRIGGER PULL!!!!

    That being said, my heart goes out to all my Brothers and Sisters in Arms with PTSD

  • @Chaquitaman83 Don't act like you know what you're talking about cause you don't. I have an AR-15 assault rifle and it does not have auto or 3 round burst. Allow me to educate you - an assault rifle is a rifle designed with the intent to be used against people as opposed to a hunting rifle for example.

  • @kerrywsmyth Allow me to educate you. As fixing the weapon systems of the United States Marine Corps is my JOB...you are sadly mistaken. Liberal anti gun nuts have deemed your AR-15 an assault rifle so they can portray it as being a terrible weapon that should only be used by the military. M16..assault rifle...m4...assault rifle...ak-47 with full auto..assault rifle...AR15...RIFLE.

  • wow I hope even though he went nutz they are good to him he is mentally ill due to war trauma it's not his fault.

  • wow the taze at the end does not make sense at all WOW

  • They were nervous... cops are people too and nervous around people with guns... cut them a break, be thankful they didn't shoot him.

  • @rudylimas  i agree!

  • whatever, its not like a taze guns kills you, whats everyone whining about.

  • Look at my rock / metal music channel over it is worth it.

  • @RAPITUP888 Your pathetic, you have no idea what people in the military have to do and deal with. This stuff happens all the time, he was just one of the unlucky ones.

  • Stock Alert!

    NRTLQ.PK

    Will be hot around 2-3PM! BRING AMERICA BACK!

    Nortel, Google in $900 million patent deal could be alot more if Microsoft or Nokia outbids them!

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks Bush

  • That woman is a hero. Im so glad we have someone like her on the force.

  • the most retarted cops ive ever seen.

  • Savelkoul, i hope u will get better! don't give up!

  • The police did far more than what they should have and showed restraint way beyond what was called for. Their patience and acceptance of the risk the soldier was imposing on them was heroic. Keep in mind he pointed a gun at a persons head and put hundreds of peoples lives at risk with his high speed run. When he was distracted they used non-lethal force to ensure he wouldn't draw a weapon or harm himself or the police. Well done officers, I salute you.

  • WOW if you lik this video take a listen to whats on my page!

  • He was a mentally unstable man who left his house with multiple weapons. He could have had another gun in his jacket or pants, and could have fired on the officers at any moment. Tasing him was the best option for the officers safety.  Think things through.

  • @Auraten he is an american hero and the cops chat on him. The soldeir shouldve killed everyone of the pigs, murder all cops, rape their wives and daughters in the asshole, burn their sons alive

  • Anyone with LE training knows that where you find one gun you will probably find two. It was apparent this man was not ok and a threat with or without a gun. I feel the officers showed extreme restraint and professionalism. He was placed in custody with out injury and officers went home safe also. He is now in the right place for what he needs. The only thing I could see that may need addressed is the female police officer letting her guard down . Never let your feelings in the way..go home safe

  • @wvpd229 Dude was surrendering, and some asshat ran out of left field and tased his ass... yeah thats legit. Thats about as legit, as when they tase 80 year old women.

  • @bloodthreat They risked their lives for hours in a high speed chase and armed standoff. They used non-lethal force to eliminate the risk of an ambush on the female officer or him pulling a weapon. If the dude was suicidal, that's what would have gotten him killed for sure. They saved his life.

  • the world can be a shit place to live.

    lord knows i have thought of doing the same

  • wtf!!! 7:05

  • people say fuck the police, but when u actually need them u wont be saying that

  • @chromosphereUlt You wont be saying that when one of them tazes you for no reason ay?

  • @socks880 No reason? He wasn't dangerous? Are you stupid?

  • @BriansVideoHobby Are you? He was already fucking traumatized, in a suicidal state. If you watched the video you would of heard he had no intention of wounding law enforcement. He had already placed his weapon on the ground, and an officer was already putting on the handcuffs. How the fuck is tazing him in any way justified?

  • @socks880 Um no, he wasn't being cuffed. "I'm trying to get him to put his hands up and turn away from me but he's not." He put a gun to a persons head, he risked many lives in a high speed chase, he had several weapons, he was in an armed standoff for hours,and he approached police armed. You think they should have just approached him and hoped he wasn't still armed? Hoped he didn't kill the officer or take her hostage? Or, maybe, the best thing was to make sure nothing more would happen?

  • When a country been in peace for a long time, there are people who grow bored of it and want action, want war. When they been in war for a while, they get weary and long for peace. However, being bored in a peaceful period definitely a thousand time better than the gruesome of wars!!!!!!!

  • Keep getting better!! We're all proud of you. <3

  • Wow.. powerful stuff. good job law enforcement!

  • its hard to beat a womans charm. =)

  • Jesus Christ he was tazed as she was putting on the handcuffs. What the fuck is wrong with that cop? Why are the police EVER punished for this kind of mistreatment?

  • @chairde Lets see you have a gun pointed at you, I don't think you'll feel much compassion.

  • @SeniorMobley Did you watch the video? He was unarmed and being handcuffed.

  • @chairde You're fuckin retarded. He was clearly intoxicated, had already led them on a multi-county, multi-highway high speed chase, and was armed with more than one gun. He actually DISCHARGED rounds from his rifle and you think someone needs to get in trouble for using a TAZER!?!?

    If it were ANY major city he would have been shot to pieces the moment he tried to leave the vehicle with the AR15.

  • @LiveToThink

    Well said.

  • @LiveToThink i dont think he was intoxicated

    his brain is just fucked from PTSD

  • @chairde i know right, he should have used pepper spray, he had a gun, they just paralyzed him so that he wouldnt try to do anything stupid like go up to a cop and shoot a wheel of the car. you should think of criminals and not normal daily people who just enjoy life how it is.

  • @chairde

    What is wrong with you, Chairde? What did the cop do wrong?  I think they did a wonderful job handling this situation. Besides, the cops got to protect themselves, they are not machines, they are human. Cops have fears just like everyone else. But for this Mental charllenged guy, who knows what is he thinking besides with all the guns he got. well, i do admired him for being a soldiers, and sorry for him to develop such illness. But all that these wasn't the cops fault.

  • @ritaisland The female cop had the situation under control and then the male cop went and tazed the man. The man was not aggressive, nor did he have a gun at that time. There was NO reason to taze this man when the female cop had the situation well in hand. That was an act of pure violence by the male cop. He should be removed from the force.

  • why the fuck did i watch this? and Why the fuck did they taze him? someone should file a suit against the cops to put an end to police brutality.. they could of ended this with a taser when he was next to the cop car with his gun..

  • @FourKicksOG You and anyone that thumbs you up is a complete idiot. The cops went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­Y beyond the call of duty to NOT kill this guy. He discharged his assault rifle into his truck and later was waving his pistol around in a way that 99 out of 100 cops would have shot him over and would have been totally justified.

    All of these officers deserve a medal for bringing this to a wildly successful conclusion.

  • @kerrywsmyth agreed.

  • @kerrywsmyth I cant believe people are so critical on these cops. If any of you were there and had some guy waving a gun around and you had yours drawn you would be sweating bullets. It only takes a second for a gun to be raised and fired. I hate it when do nothing people judge those in the arena as Roosevelt would have put it.

  • @kerrywsmyth They were talking to him for 2 hours... police should only use there weapons if they feel there life is in danger..

  • @FourKicksOG hey fuck shit they tazed because he was crazy he may just freak any second fucking beat someones ass

  • @SuperShoplifter why can't they just grab his wrists and lock him up the cops are trained and told to detain suspects like that but they're pussy's and get trigger happy because they're used to arresting some nigger dealing... dumb fuck...

  • watch, dont fish and drive!

  • None of us know what we would do in this situation; unless it was you standing there~~~~You have NO idea what Brock's life was/is after he returned. What is important is that the police didn't "shoot to kill" and that he surrendered and didn't hurt himself or someone else........I hope and pray that he has gotten help! J. Kidwell

  • fucking retarded american cops

  • Shut up man, not all cops are like that. Sure you're gonna find bad people in any field, cops are no exception. But listen to the female cop at the end. What a good person.

  • Really tasering the guy was you idea dumb*ss how stupid could you be no weapon and hands up? You taser him? I think even if he thru a punch with what 5 cops there you couldnt handdle that? hmmmm sounds fishy to me. Trigger happy much?

  • simple to eliminate this and other kinds of problems

    stop going to war for profit

    legalize drugs

    make a lawyer accompany police officers on duty

    replace representative government with internet based democracy

  • It's not the cops fault. Its a very sad situation. He put their lives at risk. No one knew what he would do when she was that close to him and he wasn't cooperating and putting his hands where he was supposed to. Cops didn't do anything wrong they tazed him for everyones safety.

  • I think that North Dakota HP did a dame fine job here. This could have ended so much worse.

  • Wy is the video Friday one of the suggestions?

  • @hrgoodmanjr  All too true, kinda makes you want to commit suic.........oh

  • wat a bunch of pussys you have somethimes in america, guy with the gun and cops included

  • @Gregospinky pipe down pinky

  • shud ov just blown his head off

  • I hope he gets better.

  • So many cop haters! Its sad how stupid people are...

  • 7:10 That is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen.

  • God bless you all that suffer with this PTSD

  • So did he die or not?

  • @Risingcash so u didnt watch the whole video???

  • @Risingcash did you not read the end? No hes alive

  • what,? shit, i read the title wrong, thought the cops did shoot him, Well at least he's alive.

  • These cops are idiots, He was close enough to tazer, or at least shoot in the legs.

  • Just show us the video mother fucker

  • GOT  bring them the fuck home?

  • This is why the military isnt always the best choice, they need understand how serious killing another human being can affect someone. We arent made natural to do that, and after these soliders are in a constant state of "kill mode" i feel....

  • @NervousOfTheLight can you blame them? they were waiting for two hours for him to level that gun at the cops so they could shoot him. seriously though, that petite woman officer had more balls than the guys did. fargo woman cops are legit.

  • I'm from North Dakota and the cops are pretty ridiculous here because they: a) have nothing better to do. And b) they definitely let their job get to their heads.

  • Rural-area cops didn't shoot him but big-city cops would have.

  • @SirEthanSpence True, no reason whatsoever to taze that guy. He was unarmed and surrendering Fucking pigs is right...

  • If you surrender, you're still getting the Tazer .

  • had he been a darker man, would he have turned into swiss cheese???

  • The soldiers were the bad guys in Iraq that's why more died by suicide at home then they died over there (Just like in Vietnam).

  • there's no such thing as suicide by cop. Cops have an order to kill and gladly do so.

  • WHITE MAN WAR

  • He would have been shot instantly by the police had this been in LA, NY, LV, or any other big city.

  • we all know what would have happened if this was LA and he was black or mexican. shots fired, officer down, sprinkle some crack, call it a day.

  • 7:11 Are they angry because of the long waiting time?

  • R&R in thailand? he is already dead... he has AIDS.

  • The cop tased him for making him stand out there for two hours.

  • @brianmathewbrandt FUCK THE PoLICE

  • Fucking cops... They often do all sorts of despicable shit to War Veterans who have been given an extremely hard lot overseas, yet we're supposed to respect them and look up to them as paragons of justice and virtue, right? FUCK. THAT. SHIT. He had no right to shoot that Soldier like that.

  • A war Without a purpose
