If the cameradude was part of the perp's film crew, then it's merely a case of lousy training...
On another note, after the video gets to the cutting room the production begins to take shape...
Maybe someone could come up with a clip on mirror to be attached to a hat band...or...

Check your bicycle shops....for the ones designed to mount to an eye glass frame.
““Compact” what??? Compact .45???”
LOL! I was thinking of the cosmetic compact that many women carry that contains powder and a mirror. The wife could carry that and from time to time check out surroundings behind her/them.
I was replying to a comment about needing to “keep heads on a swivel” in order to maintain 360 degree awareness.
I do not know...I would say that if you reload and shoot ammunition purposefully designed to encourage deadly force because the lower collateral injuries or deaths from bystanders, a legal argument could be formulated against you in any homicide you are a party in, because the intent to make it easier to implement “deadly force” could work against you simply because of that ammunition...
I say that because we have seen how DA’s and grand juries aound ssome parts of the country do look at the technical side of your loadout, and your discussions online, your political affiliations, your skin color...All of those kinds of things to get away from the fact that you may very well may have been justified in “reasonably determining” your using deadly force...The surrounding (supplemental data gathered about you could be used to sway a jury to think you were actually going out to kill someone...
That is, of course, the worst caase senario, and one I would not be surprised to see used against someone again, based on that depth of an investigation into a person that uses ammunition of that sort...
Don’t get me wrong, I believe anyone is justified in reasonably determining that deadly force is necessary to stop the use of deadly force against themselves and or a third party (according to some laws in several states) and the continuation od such use of deadly force against you...
Sometimes I hate to be a person who throws coldwater on such a wonderful story like this, where the attacker got exactly what they deserved, and maybe more...But it is better to look at incidents like this, learn from it, and see what lessons you can use because of this to apply to your situation...
Before something happens to you or around you in a similar situation...
Just my opinion...I mean no offense to anyone for my thoughts on this...
Ohhhhh, they do manufacture defensive rounds that have nylon or some sort of composite “core” like CORBON, or RCBD ammunition that have higher velocities, and impact results *(better wounding) than your standard FMJ, or hollowpoint ammunition out there these days...
And yes, my loadout included those types of ammunition...Because someone else manufactured them...Not myself...I’m mearly the purchaser, customer...
Doens’t quite fall into the rediiculous “I was only following orders” type defense to the prosecution, but I believe it might be something that deflects, or can be defended because of my intentions to other aspect of any justified self-defense shooting I may be involved in...
Doing your best to remove, as much as you can, ANY chance that a premeditation case could be made against you for defending yourself in the use of deadly force is warranted in my opinion...
