I just caught this one on the news out of Detroit and found the reaction of the witness to be interesting in light of the changes in the DPD.

was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed. The officer retrieved his gun and shot the suspect once in the face.so he knew the gun was jammed when he shot him???

Well it sure works a hell of a lot better than waiting till he gets it to fire again.

“The suspect was taken to the hospital but his condition is unknown at this time.”
I think is condition is probably unrecognizable.

Sounds like the off duty cop needs to get himself a .45

re: The suspect tried to chase the officer and was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed.
Hmm. Suddenly, I see warning lights. May be just a reflex thought but reading the officer's statement that, “the suspect produced a “nickel-plated revolver” I started wondering. I am not saying it is impossible, but it sure is rare that a revolver “jams”.
Throw down?

So will getting shot in the face make him as smart as the hypocrite Gabby Gifford’s or as dumb as hypocrite Gabby Gifford’s?

“The suspect tried to chase the officer and was attempting to open the door and fire but the gun jammed.”
A revolver jamming? I’m not an expert of firearms, but I would imagine the weapon was damaged, very dirty, or loaded with some very old, poor quality ammo (or maybe the wrong ammo type) for that to happen.
Again, not an expert on these things, so I could be 100% wrong (and I often am, LOL) about this.

So far there have been 13 justifiable homicides in Detroit this year and I’m guessing 3 times as many defensive shootings not resulting in death.

I have on two occasions hd brand new Remington .38 specials jam because the rim of the casing was slightly too thick, jamming between the cylinder and the frame.
So I never ever shoot Remington .38s.
The revolver was a S&W model 10.

I’d say the lesson here is there’s nothing more worthless than a gun that doesn’t shoot... except for the dirt bag who thinks he can rob a store with it.
