I’ve heard of “spray and pray” but 65 rds w/o a hit is stretching it.

I don’t think any amount of range time will help these clods.

Idiot police, they should ALL be fired.
Who taught these these clowns to start firing without a target?

Apparently the police need AR-15s with 30 rd mags when somebody shoots at them.

The video doesn’t really show why though.

That police department must be totally "gay

Used to do A Lot of target shooting and the police were the worst.
I even outshot the county swat guys at the range, they were no better than mediocre.
Did shoot with a couple of ‘Feds’ that were really, really good. They were with the ‘commerce department’.

Police should have to go back to revolvers. After all, what they propose for the average citizen is good for them, too.

I caught that on Fox News. They didn’t comment on the number of shots and no hits but I thought, “65 shots and they didn’t HIT THE GUY?” Did they even hit the RV?

There is a difference between Cover and Concealment

Those 65 shots did not remained in the RV.

I will just settle for your clip instead of watching SFPD prove their unworthiness.

I dont need to know that yet another police force is inept in its duties all while our elected officials persist in lecturing me about the kind of self defense I prefer.

But civilians only need 5 round magazines because that is enough firepower.

Yeah and after watching the video, their random firing is a real concern...

I didn’t shoot for 3 years due to shoulder surgeries.

Went cowboy shooting and 10/10...

LEO really are not very good and that goes back 40 years ago when I use to shoot with the Sheriff Department as an Explorer...

“In the video half the cops fell to the ground and fired aimlessly. Hit nothing.”

SF cops. Someone started a rumor that the perp was a Trump voter and they fell all over themselves fighting for the killshot. LOL.

Maybe affirmative action and diversity is more important to that dept than skill and training?

65 shots in 15 seconds. Is that one of those new “fully semi-automatics”?
