BlueLivesMatter: Leland, NC – On December 9th, 2016, Leland Police Officer Jacob Schwenk was suddenly shot 6 times by a DUI suspect. You can see in the video (below) that the hero never gave up, and he was able to take the shooter out.
Just before 9 PM on December 9th, Brunswick County law enforcement received multiple calls about a suspected drunk driver on Bridgeport Way in Leland’s Windsor Park community. The vehicle struck some bushes and almost hit mailboxes, according to WECT 6.

Good shootin’ cowboy
Wow, a Double Mozambique “two to the chest, one to the head,” and after being shot six times.
It is amazing this officer survived, he must be one very, very, tough cookie.
I thought maybe this was one video of a cop getting shot that I could watch since he won the fight. I was wrong.
Take his family out too for all I care. Good riddance dirt bag.
Someone posted this here a while ago. I still listen to it. A ways into this video they show families and kids in quick shots, a little boy walking down the steps in his house is one of them and I always think of how my kids or grandkids would feel if I didn’t come home from work. My appreciation to all those that serve.

Our academy defensive tactics instructor was an amazing man and besides all the tactics he taught us police larvae, the thing that he drilled into us constantly was “NEVER give up no matter what”. That officer definitely had that mindset. Thank God.
Give that man a medal, a vacation, a raise and a big Thank You for doing what most people would not have the guts to do to keep us all safe!
Put Barry in his place and all you’d be left with is a pair of wet pants!
as a proud dad I have to say my son is graduating from the N.Y. state police academy on May 10th
