Real World Police is proud to exclusively bring you this intense footage. None of what you are about to see has ever been published elsewhere.
On Monday, October 16, 2017, at approximately 0228 hours, Orlando Police Corporal Chris Ehlers was patrolling the area of Rosewood Way and Cinderlane Parkway on a police mountain bike when he encountered a black male – later identified as Dracarris Mandel Hill – jaywalking.
Ehlers began a consensual encounter with Hill, who provided Ehlers his Florida identification card.
During the encounter, Hill, a convicted felon, removed a firearm from his right waistband area / front pocket of his pants and ran from Corporal Ehlers, who immediately gave chase.
During the foot pursuit, Hill discharged his firearm at Ehlers, who returned fire. The chase continued and Hill was located by assisting officers who took him into custody. Hill was found with a single gunshot wound to his right leg and was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Hill’s firearm, his blue and black wallet, and cell phone were located in the same area he was taken into custody. A check of Hill’s criminal history showed he was adjudicated guilty for the second degree felony of Burglary of a Dwelling as well as the third degree felony of grand theft. As a convicted felon, Hill was prohibited from possessing a firearm.
Based on this information, probable cause was established to charge Hill with possessing a firearm while a convicted felon.
Because Hill’s firearm was initially concealed from Ehlers’ view, probable cause was established to charge Hill with carrying a concealed firearm.
Hill’s actions of running from Ehlers hindered his ability to conduct a lawful investigation, which – when combined with the fact that Hill shot at Ehlers – established probable cause to charge Hill with resisting an officer with violence.
Because Hill shot at Ehlers while he was engaged in his lawful duties as a police officer, probable cause was established to charge Hill with attempted murder on a law enforcement officer with a firearm.
The entire encounter was captured by Ehlers body worn camera. This is the first time any of this footage is being made publicly available.

We should be like North Korea when it comes to punishment. Entire bloodlines.
He was a good boy. Didnt do nothin!
He is outta shape badly
Not much irritates me more than units keying up for dumb shit right after an officer calls in an emergency. Our man here didn't exactly whisper, "He has a gun."
Officer: All gas no brakes baby!
2 seconds later: Low fuel
Bro. That shot tho.
Look at his face it tells all. He should have called for back up. Florida doesn’t play. You try to hurt a cop the whole state comes after you…
At 1:48 that officer’s gun sounds so good.
Thanx to everyone for not race baiting in the comment section.
1.5 miles in 17 minutes🥵
Lol, "WHY ARE YOU BLEEDING!?" I'm shot. Female officers tend to be more likely to be total fucking assholes cuz they feel like they have something to prove.
The officer not firing until fired upon is crazy heroic. He didn't want to use force until he had no other choice. Intense sense of duty.
Defund the Police? Dumb ass libs! Cops are awesome!
What a shot!!!! He hit him from 100yards out it looked like lol
His name is Dracarris Hill. In Game of Thrones "Dracarys" is the Valyrian 'fire!'-command Daenerys Targaryen uses to instruct her dragons to rain down dragonfire on enemies.
Isn’t “dracarris†what Daenerys would say to order her dragon to breathe fire on someone?
I mean damn!! No-scope and all
Nice shot.
Dumb. You literally handed over your license then shoot..
Dude, did he just no-scope that guy from THAT deep?? That was Jordan-esque.
Why'd they issue him a bike?
0:48 – 0:59 those wide open, watchful eyes are very alarming. The dude's cortisol and adrenaline levels have already skyrocketed.
Omg the guy a 21:30 being all ragey because they can't find where they are.
Officer: "Where's the gun?!"
POS: "I swear to God I don't have a gun."
No good waste of life and these bastards wonder why their picked to be searched, cause they'll shoot you then lie to your face! Cops should be able to just shoot scum like this and leave them to rot.
Uhhh officer you left your bike that goes 5x faster than that pos can run… Great shot though! Back the Blue 🇺🇸 💙ðŸ‘
This is why I completely sympathize with cops when they have to deal with these shady characters regardless of race. It only takes a blink of an eye for a cop to lose his life if he's not on his toes.
Hell of a shot
the cop shouldve chased him on his bike. would have made for better video
Your out of shape, oh I just realized that your jacked up on Adrenaline
All cops ride bikes in that town?
Better stop smoking
That’s a bad part of Orlando,
Little fact for you butthurt regressives out there.
If you shoot at a cop, you WILL be put down. You’re not going to get the mace. You’re not going to get the taser. You will get two .40 bullets center mass.
🎯
That was a nice shot from across the parking lot.
